German Greens want to force people of all ages to serve the state in a new Freedom Service™. Either military or some community service.
"It is time to ask the question: What can you do for you country?", Schulze said to Deutsche Presse-Agentur. The threats are growing.
"In order make our society more robust, to defend our freedom, and to strengthen cooperation, we need everybody. The Freedom Service is a collective project for Germany, by all and for all. Through the Freedom Service, we will to bring together generations and milieus, strengthen our society, and defend what is important to us."
I'm not making this up btw.
They're no longer in government of course, that's just their contribution to the debate about re-introducing conscription.
They're having fun over there.
Germany, (including "Die Linke" in Bremen and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) voted "yes" to war loans for more arms.
He also gave an interview to Süddeutsche Zeitung, published yesterday (in German). Shitty hot takes include:
But we must not forget that the origin of the Enlightenment is humility. Humility in the sense that Europe is the only great civilization to expose itself to permanent self-criticism.
So humble.
The worst thing in Trump's eyes is for Europe to say: yes, we should significantly increase our military spending. That would be an example of principled pragmatism. Of course I am in favor of peace. But there are situations in which the only way to make peace a little more likely is to arm ourselves and prepare for a possible war.
So doing want Trump says he wants (increase the military budget) is actually the best way to own him, because he doesn't actually want that. Also why? Then something something "principled pragmatism", probably just trying to confuse people with that. I hope he chokes on this sophistry.
At the end of the interview he starts blaming migrants for not wanting to be integrated.
Does UNRWA still do anything in Gaza?
The video of Musk speaking (via video call) at the AfD rally is straight Nazi shit. It's worse than I though it would be, I imagined he would try to be a lot more crypto-fascisct, but I guess we're past that now.
They probably were asking about the first name, which is Hebrew. But with the answer "from Israel" she emphasized her Israeli identity I think. I might react with laugh/snort if someone professed their Zionist political ideology when that wasn't the question.
A host at a German public broadcaster allegedly had visceral reaction of disgust, when a guest, an Israeli-German cyber-security professor, said her name was "from Israel". First of all, there is no such thing as being "from Israel", and what's an Israeli name anyway?
Only a Zionist would answer this way, I thought, and yeah, she has written an article about how "Israel must also defend itself on the Internet".
The host is probably going to get fired, she's Turkish-German so they'll count that against her.
I guess you moved it before it was sitting in your corner? Some connection might have came lose during transport. Try re-plugging all the cables and and maybe even the other components. Though it's probably related to power, otherwise it would likely do something. It's possible though that it's actually broken. Since it doesn't power on that would either be the power supply or the mainboard most likely.
I mean you get updates from your distro. So in that sense every distro is equally backdoored. If some agents or criminals can get at the infrastructure & signing keys (or the people responsible for those), they could distribute backdoors through the update mechanism. I don't recall this exact thing ever happening, but, for example, someone hacked Mint's website some years ago and replaced to ISOs with backdoored ones.
Also, there are what's called remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities, those are found regularly in all kinds of software, but those look like (and most likely almost always are) honest mistakes. Anyone with the right know-how can exploit such an RCE in a vulnerable system. We do know that government agencies pay people to find RCEs, or buy them on the black market, and then keep them secret as a potential offensive cyber weapon to break into systems.
hell no
