Thats why other countries are doing it that way. The problem is, that the US system makes it very difficult to get an ID for its long list of undesireables. And with that I mean everyone, who is not white, heteronormative, cis and not-poor. If the US fixes these problems and issues IDs for every of its citizens, then requiring the ID for voting is a good idea. Unfortunately that is a big big If, carrying a lot of weight.

Though he is the one, who actually did these things, so he should be hated for them. Sure, if it would have been someone else, we would hate that asshole instead

Relevant xkcd: Average familiarity

You severly overestimate the average persons tech literacy even when you try to correct for it. Booting from USB is already a really advanced topic.

Though creating a lemmy account is not that complex. Typically all you have to do is fill out a form on the websiten instructions included. The problem there is not the tech literacyn but the willingness of the people to even interact with systems they don’t know, like finding a home instance or understanding the concept of the fediverse. Most people could create a lemmy account, though also most people wouldn’t.

Did the crowd also sang “Ill is in the box!”? >.<

Thanks, will definitely have a look at them

No, I think that you have that right for every contract, that you enter (buying contract or otherwise). Though there are exceptions (for example digital goods like ebooks). Ypu can very much bring back a retail good that you bought in a store for 14 days after the purchase. Though I think they can refuse, if you damaged the product in that time.

For example I returned an item I bought in the tool store, because I realized I bought the wrong one.

Honest question: Is there a good comprehensive easy to follow source for reading/listening/watching up on the theory?

At some point some user linked to a long reading list, where I stopped frustrated after 2 hours of reading and still being non the wiser. In all that time there must be some resource, that is more engaging and especially talking about modern life, not the life in the times of Marx (yeah, I know that the fundamental principles are the same). I’m also ok with multiple hour youtube videos, as long as there are skillfully made and engaging.

Ahh, for one moment I was excited seeing an open source washing machine project. Then I opened the post and now I’m sad…

In the movies she actually was, though I think only because of Veritaserum, which makes it really not her fault (besides not having the suspicion to give the drink to umbrigdes plants instead of drinking, like Harry in the books).

In that context the break between them gives a bad look on Harry. Like “My nearly girlfriend got druged and interrogated. Such a snitch for telling them about us!” And movie Harry didn’t think about what that experience was like for Cho.

More like the other way round, as trans people aren’t the perpetrators. Trans people are more like Harry in relation to the Dursleys. Being different without it being his “fault”, trying to conform but it resulting in psychological and physical harm to him, not being able to conform as he is supposed to. Being shunned and punished for every “abnormality” (especially the public ones) one the grounds of what-would-the-neighbours-talk-about-this. Finding a more accepting place but being forced to return to the abusive household again and again.

Its abhorrent, how tonedeaf Rowling is towards the obvious parallels to her hate in her own work. Some live long enough to see themselves becoming the villian out of their own fault I guess

Ich habe seit langen den Eindruck, die SPD ist nur eine Fahne im Wind. Wird ihr von Koalitionspartnern oder der Opposition genug Wind rübergeblasen richtet sie sich danach aus. Extreme Peoplepleaser als Partei, niemals feste Standpunkte in eine konsistente Richtung. Wes Brot ich ess des Lied ich sing. Frustrierend

Schöne Aktion, da freut man sich doch. Und das nächste Mal sowas wie Schnellbeton nehmen, für das extra bisschen Spaß

There is a really good comedy skit from the german youtube channel Bohemian Browser Ballet, about what if heroin was used like beer in germany. Including the social stigma of not consuming. That really speaks of my experiences not drinking. Youtube Invideous

Ich habe tatsächlich gestern Abend schon das letzte der 4 Bücher (im Englischen sind es interessanterweise 7 Bücher) abgeschlossen, war noch echt spannend. Vlt kommen auch noch weitere Teile (das 4. Buch ist erst im März rausgekommen). Ich werde die Reihe auf jeden Fall weiter verfolgen. Und mal die Hörbücher checken.

Für das nächste Buch fände ich auch mehr Hopepunk gut, schon allein, damit ich mir mehr konkretes dazu vorstellen kann.

Mhh, mein Ebook Reader findet tatsächlich kein “Fakke” im ersten Buch. Dachte, das sei da auch drin. Aber in Buch 3, Kapitel 3 recht am Anfang kommt “und ich hatte bereits zugestimmt, nicht ihre Systeme zu hacken, was zur Fakke wollten sie denn noch?” Und in Buch 2, Kapitel 2 ziemlich mittig: “Und zugegeben, ich war entscheidend an diverser Chaosfakke von gigantischen Ausmaßen beteiligt” Bin gespannt, was du findest. Könnte natürlich auch ihre Version von SecUnit Slang sein, so wie sie für manche Geschelchtsidentitäten auch eigene Pronomen nutzt.

Nur integre Persönlichkeiten bei der CDU -.-

Though helicopters are not what was envisioned as flying cars most of the time. Including their usability.

I should have mentioned, where I got this from. I’m not an AI researcher myself - so AINAAIR. I’m referencing this youtube video from TheMorpheus (News and Informations/Tutorials about various IT stuff, including AI research)(Video is in german). For example the diagram at 3:00.

The german government had an interesting idea for that. Collecting all the emission taxes into a common fund (like sales tax on each item) and then paying that back to the citizens, the same amount to everyone. If you get the emission pricing right, then rich people (who emit more through their life) will pay more tham they get, while poor people will profit from it.

Though the system is not yet active (because of shit financing tricks that got stopped by the courts and the current inability of the government to actually pay that money out to the citizens)
