  • US formally moves to dismiss prosecution against Boeing and asks judge to cancel trial over crashes

    Jump

  • Does anyone know how orders for Boeing jets are going? Because that really screams "we are corrupt and don't care if your plane crashes" and that may be something that the world's airlines do not like.

  • Let's not start blaming old people - we have one problem in Europe right now in regards to housing. The massive urbanization going on. People are moving from rural areas into the bigger cities. And those cities haven't built enough new housing for all residents. Just one example: In my town the university has grown - there are more people coming to study and they need housing, but nobody constructed additional dorms. Let's not blame old people for staying in their homes, let's blame the government for steering us into a totally predictable housing crisis here.

  • Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.

  • Germany Is Using AI to Erase Pro-Palestinian Speech

    Jump

  • I think the issue here is that it really is easy to say something pro-palestinian without even touching the IHRA. I've read it and it's totally sensible:

    “Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.” To guide IHRA in its work, the following examples may serve as illustrations: Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits. Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to: Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion. Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions. Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews. Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust). Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust. Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations. Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor. Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation. Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis. Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis. Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel. Antisemitic acts are criminal when they are so defined by law (for example, denial of the Holocaust or distribution of antisemitic materials in some countries). Criminal acts are antisemitic when the targets of attacks, whether they are people or property – such as buildings, schools, places of worship and cemeteries – are selected because they are, or are perceived to be, Jewish or linked to Jews. Antisemitic discrimination is the denial to Jews of opportunities or services available to others and is illegal in many countries.

  • I don’t understand how these kids get caught. They gotta be really slow or something.

    I was caught 0 times as a teenager. My mom never found my porn.

    Modern operating systems are different than Windows 98. You think that you're sneeky and that nobody will find your porn folder and then your mom gets a "Popular files in your user group" mailing from "OneDrive Engagement" or a "Your browsing year wrap-up" by Microsoft Edge or a retargetting ad on the whole network because you looked at the Riley Reid fleshlight. Modern surveillance capitalism is really hard to escape.

  • Rulecycling

    Jump

  • It's a deposit system that works as a deposit system. And it's purpose is to decrease the amount of bottles that get thrown into the streets and that does totally work. Just compare how many bottles are lying around in Germany to other countries.

  • Rulecycling

    Jump

  • I really would like to know how you came to that conclusion. The OP is from Germany and is collecting abandoned bottles in the street and there are closed loop recycling programs in place. You return the bottle to the store, you get your 25 cents back, the bottle gets crushed and recycled into a new one. That kind of does work. Multiuse bottles are better, but I really struggle to understand how "Picking up discarded plastic bottles" releases more microplastics than letting those bottles out in the environment where they will become 100% microplastic

  • EU countries resist Spain on making Catalan official language

    Jump

  • The biggest issue here is that (nearly) all EU documents have to be translated into all official EU languages. It will be really expensive if spain introduces new official languages due to all the translators needed

  • French teacher suspended over minute's silence tribute to Palestinians in Gaza

    Jump

  • I disagree. It's totally not ok for a teacher to bring something like this into the classroom. Physics and chemistry class really is not the place to push political topics onto pupils and a five minute minute of silence is also not the way to discuss these topics with them. Not sure about France, but here in Germany there are classes on history or political sciences and those are the correct context to teach students about the middle east conflict: The teachers are qualified to teach about theses subjects and they have the time. Staging something like this will bring you into trouble in most civilized countries, because it is totally not ok.

  • In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app

  • The initial announcement is talking about "media" and I assumed that this did include music. That was my motivation to install Jellyfin and that works so great for me that I didn't try to use Plexamp remotely

  • Louisiana stifles community air monitoring with threat of million-dollar fines, federal lawsuit says

  • I'm not in Louisiana. It's perfectly legal for me to do my own air quality measuring and I am totally allowed to publish them in the land of the free and the home of the brave Germany.

  • Take a look at the website:

    It looks complicated, but basically you are ordering some thing from AliExpress, connect it via cables (no soldering required), flash a firmware via a software, register an account, put in WiFi data and put it in a box.

  • Denmark to raise retirement age to highest in Europe

    Jump

  • I'm not sure here. Current life expectancy here in Germany is 78 for men and 83 for women. You can start your work life at 16 after 10 years of school and will do a 2-3 year appenticeship and if you retire at 67 and work without any breaks, unemployment, children and so on, you have 51 years in the workforce. Most people will have fewer, might do additional schooling and start their work life after university sometimes in their mid-twenties.

    But even if we take those 51 years: A women will spend 16 + (83-67) = 32 years of their lifes outside the workforce. Even if you count out the time as child, those 16 years of retirement are 31% of your time spent working. If you want to keep your life standard, you somehow have to save up.
