  • The "defence" of Newag is wild: they claimed that the repair company (SPS) installed these malicious parts of the software. Why would SPS would do that and lose the repair contract back to Newag? That's just a cartoonishly dumb claim

  • Its like attending a big fair and there are thousands of open stages for public discussions. Each stage hosts one of many different topics. A single one (!) of these stages is "female-speakers only". And these neckbeards are throwing a tantrum that this single stage is a safe space for women.

    As a straight white cis-man I feel ashamed when seeing other men acting like this.

  • YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party.

  • It also kind of forces you to consume music in a more focused way. Instead of cycling through hundreds of songs in a few minutes you are forced to preselect what you really want to hear. Which has both its pros and cons, but I enjoy the "slow pace" when discovering new songs.

    Torvalds warns of ‘chaotic’ merge window for Linux kernel 6.17

    Jump

  • Yes, clickbait. It is more like the opposite to me: Linus mitigates chaos before it ensues. Which is an absolute reasonable pro-gamer move in my eyes and speaks of good (time) management.

  • I mean, if men would have to carry the baby for nearly 10 months within their own body and after giving birth having to do all the care work like lots of women had and have to do, they would be baby killers more often as well.

  • Interestingly even the Third Reich had lots of tourism and visits from foreigners.

    This interesting (German/Austrian) article is a summary of the book Travellers in the Third Reich. The Rise of Fascism through the Eyes of Everyday People from Julia Boyd.

    Some key parts from the article, auto-translated with deepl.com:

    The newly married British couple Boyle spent their honeymoon in Germany in 1937. Their destination was Marseille, from where the couple wanted to travel on to Kenya, where the bride's father was the British governor.

    The GB license plate on the car they had brought with them attracted almost magnetic attention in Germany, and the Boyles were repeatedly approached by people. One Sunday, they parked their car in Frankfurt am Main to visit the city. They had just left the car when they were approached by a Jewish woman with her 15-year-old daughter, who was limping badly on one leg.

    The mother got straight to the point and begged the couple to take their daughter Greta abroad with them. The Boyles agreed - they had seen enough to know how dangerous the prospects were for a disabled Jewish girl. After the British consulate had provided the necessary papers, the Boyles, together with the girl, continued their journey.

    [...]

    A few days before the planned Reichstag election, two Britons, Owen Tweedy and Jim Turcan, also arrived in Germany. Both had been wounded in the First World War, Tweedy was now working as a journalist. They arrived in Berlin exactly on the day of the Reichstag fire on February 27, 1933. The atmosphere among the foreign journalists was already characterized by fear; they had to fear being persecuted by the Nazi authorities for espionage.

    Three days before the Reichstag elections, Tweedy and Turcan witnessed a Nazi squad knocking down a boy: “We were terrified and ran away immediately.” They were relieved when they reached the hotel unharmed. Another Brit summed up the mood as follows: “Fear made cowards of us all.”

    [...]

    From today's perspective, it is initially surprising that even under Nazi rule, Germany was initially a very popular vacation destination that attracted many foreign travelers. Germany was regarded as one of the most culturally important destinations. And last but not least, it was also comparatively cheap due to the exchange rate. It was not only occasionally that young ladies from British aristocratic families were sent to impoverished German aristocratic families for a longer language course and stay abroad.
