This makes this platform next to impossible to recommend to users outside of the US, since credit cards are very uncommon in e.g. Europe.

At this point, it works more reliably than playing Youtube videos in a web browser.

Du kannst Bilder hochladen. Nutz wie gehabt externe Hosts wie imgur und verlinke darauf.

Hehehe.

Yanis Varoufakis is a performance actor who desperately tries to stay relevant by clumsily inserting himself into whatever is going on in the world. That’s all there is to him. He’s chasing the public spotlight like a dodgy personal injury lawyer is chasing ambulances.

I’m also starting to get really tired of this baseless genocide slander that is being repeated as if it was a religious mantra. The whole idea behind accusing Israel of it is twofold: It’s meant to hurt Jews (who were victims of an actual genocide) and it’s meant to distract from the genocidal ambitions of Israel’s enemies.

Among other things, he wrote that Jews weren’t forced out of their homes by force. Imagine writing this after October 7.

Maybe read what he wrote first.

Das macht man als Kunde bei dem Saftladen doch eh alle drei Tage.

But what about times two.

But what about…

Signal does, by the way.

Because most employees can’t just install random software on their machines and because compatibility between Libre Office and Microsoft Office is nowhere near perfect. You don’t want to send your boss a file that ends up looking mangled on their screen.

You’re right. I’ve noticed this as early as the Bush years, with CDU and CSU closely watching what Republicans were doing and trying to (often rather clumsily) copy it. This has not slowed down. I recall I believe Söder vowing to fight “the woke” last year, which really rubbed me the wrong way. The last thing we need is American culture war nonsense poisoning German politics as well, but the floodgates have already been opened by unscrupulous politicians.

Oh look, a variation of the sinophobia talking point that wumaos like to use so much.

There is nothing xenophobic about reining in the CCCP’s disinformation, data collection and psyops tool.

What’s also very peculiar is that only Chinese employees of Bytedance are permitted access to the service’s underpinnings. They even fly in technicians to Europe and the US to prevent any non-Chinese from seeing how the service functions.

The idea that TikTok is dangerous is popular on both sides (and entirely valid). This is not a Republican talking point.

Jep. Der Geruch und das Verhalten von Leuten, die ich nach dem Konsum ertragen durfte sind eine sehr effektive Abschreckung.

It’s just the usual clumsy wumao attempt at whataboutism

Given the disastrous legacy left behind by the Soviet Union, there is no need to build a narrative. Communism is bad and failed spectacularly at everything it’s meant to achieve.

We’ll see this finally happening when China attacks Taiwan.
