The real question is, why are you so sure about that?

As an academic discussion, sure.

But why exactly are these guys in charge of almost everything to some degree? Economics is essentially string theory for people who are not smart enough for physics - theoretically maybe sound, but utterly useless for reality.

And a certain politician already spilled the beans on who’s behind all that in their mind.

And it’s weirdly the same guys they support in Israel.

It’s crazy how openly fascist and bonkers politics has become. Like, it’s not even hidden behind dog whistles anymore.

Hähnchen means little rooster, btw.

So this is an article about Hähnchen energy.

WFH + useless meetings = all my chores are done.

If you read the line above that quote: a million views. That’s nothing.

Essentially, a few guys make fun of Alexa, five people take it seriously, three of them are journalists desperately trying to find relevant content.

Every time you read about a “new trend” or “a new challenge” or whatever, you can assume some journalist found three tweets from three 14 year olds all from the same school.

I’m pretty sure it’s about the really rich, not just the top 10%.

My great grandma spent the last three years of her life almost immobile from several consecutive strokes, almost blind from several problems she developed over the years, couldn’t smell or taste anything. She was basically dying in slo-mo. Everything failed on her.

The last months she essentially spent in a constant shit puddle, because here intestines somehow decided not to work properly anymore.

It’s horrible and inhumane to let people suffer like that. Every diseased stray dog gets more mercy.

DuckDuckBuntu?

Just like wifi already does?

I don’t know what you mean by “enforced sedentary lifestyle,”

Skill issue, I’d argue. May I introduce you to the concept of “working in an office”?

None of your arguments are really an answer to anything.

Every app, telegram, simplex, ICQ are single points of failure - by design - whereas services like xmpp/jabber or even the self hosted variants of signal, simplex or matrix don’t have these problems. But they don’t do that. At least nothing that I heard of.

I think the reality is much more that most of the Nazis are inherently not constructive. They don’t create anything, they have no real vision, just hate for whatever group they think is worst right now.

They are literal leeches, they take over what they can get. Telegram, Twitter, now SimpleX. Volk ohne Messenger, if you want. There is exactly one platform that was created by them, truth social, and that’s a grift by Trump and his team, not something growing from within the community.

Ah yes, the famous capitalist powerhouse Soviet Union.

Nee, tut mir leid, das glaube ich dir nicht.

Du bist faul, nicht überfordert. Wenn du nicht in der Lage ist, Haferflocken und Milch in der Küche zu haben, bist du nicht überlebensfähig und brauchst Hilfe.

No, they didn’t. Especially not in relevant numbers: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1450450/employees-remote-work-share/

This only starts in 2015 (I was too lazy to research your idiocy), but even then (very very much after the internet was a very relevant factor) we start at 7% and you can clearly see that there was an upwards trend at that time.

So in short: get your head out of your ass and don’t vomit you unfounded stereotypes and boomerisms on the general public.

The US default, that I never left Europe. What an achievement for the USA!

Oh come on, are you really that boneheaded not to understand that you’re not the norm?

I literally had not a single power surge in my entire life. The only power outages I had were for a few minutes maybe three times in the last 15 years.

The larping refers to you. Either you are truly an outlier who actually runs a small DC, or you just like the feeling you can get pretending to do so.

Your attitude is roughly the “only gold plated cables made from solid silver” equivalent in audiophiles. Technically maybe correct, practically a self-important waste of money.

Ich kann jetzt nicht behaupten, überrascht zu sein.

Aber deswegen: zeigt online an, da habt ihr sofort einen Papertrail.

Read the article. The trend started in 1990, a time where wfh meant assembling ballpoint pens or prostitution.

Die Realität ist, dass die meisten Menschen tatsächlich ziemlich wenig zu verbergen haben. Einfach aus dem Grund, dass sie Mitläufer sind.

Wenn übermorgen verboten wird, YouTube zu gucken und das auch verfolgt wird, dann werden sich die allermeisten daran halten. Wenn Kontakt mit Moslems verboten wird, dann werden sich die meisten daran halten.

Natürlich gibt es eine gewisse Illegalität, aber nur weil die Wahrscheinlichkeit erwischt zu werden extrem gering ist. Fahr mal in den Osten und guck auf die Dächer. Die Fernsehantennen zeigen alle nach Westen (mittlerweile weniger, aber in meiner Kindheit in der 90ern war das quasi der Straßenkompass). War allen klar, was da abgeht und war eigentlich auch nicht erlaubt. Aber verfolgt wurde das nur, wenn du auch anderweitig was angestellt hast.

Wir leben in einem Land, in dem Menschen um 4 Uhr morgens an einer roten Ampel warten. Stasi und Gestapo haben genau deswegen funktioniert. Ja, das ist traurig.
