  • In my first year I had multiple issues with Linux. Mainly because I tried to install stuff that wasn’t meant for my version of the OS but for an older one and I blindly followed the “black market” tutorials how to uninstall and reinstall packages to meet requirements. That corrupted my system and I had to repair it multiple times. Also, I played around with many distros and multibooted them all, destroying my grub once or twice.

    Now that I use Ubuntu for a “longer” time, I rarely have issues except hardware specific ones. For example the webcam doesn’t work on my dell laptop because apparently it is not supported right out of the box. But apart from that I have no issues compared to windows (where imho windows 11 is an issue in itself).



  • Coming from a consumer perspective No, I don’t have to remember all that. I like the idea of PeerTube, but if it currently is not meeting my needs (content + search-ability), I will keep it in mind, but not use it.

    Thanks for the link to fedi.video! Sadly, the results aren’t much better (be it not enough matching content or a bad algorithm).





  • Feminism as often defined:

    the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achieve this state. Is something I agree with support.

    I wouldn’t call myself a feminist because I think the word is basically broken. Too many people use it in a different way than this definition. Too many people think that if you are a feminist you have to agree with other things or you are not a feminist. I would describe myself as a humanist; I think.








  • I don’t know how exactly it should be implemented but Germany needs a serious inheritance tax. Tbh. due to not having it in the past a wealth tax might be advised as well.

    I want to live in a world where a worker** totally can earn 100x what another worker earns, but not in a world where you earn 100x because of daddy’s money. For that we have to get rid of insane inheritance. I also think this rectifies criminal generational wealth like the church or old noble families.

    Let’s be honest: Life is good in Germany so only few people actually complain about that, but it is a * unfair system and I can understand everyone who doesn’t want to play in it.



  • While I think this is a great comment as Nebula is an interesting platform, I fundamentally disagree with how Nebula decides who can create content on their platform.

    If I understand it correctly, you can only become a Nebula content creator if a content creator in Nebula knows you and vouches for you. This makes Nebula inaccessible for new creators.

    That being said: With Nebula you do get a high quality selection of content creators.


  • As a German I would say test that they actually keep up with all their duties. I feel like for many years ours do a terrible job, but at least they don’t try to overthrow the government or anything. So… test that they know and are willing to perform their duties:

    The president’s most prominent powers and duties include:

    • Proposing the chancellor to the Bundestag
    • Appointing and dismissing the chancellor and their cabinet ministers
    • Dissolving the Bundestag under certain circumstances
    • Declaring the legislative state of emergency under certain circumstances
    • Convening the Bundestag
    • Signing and promulgating laws or vetoing them under certain circumstances
    • Appointing and dismissing federal judges, federal civil servants, and commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the Armed Forces
    • Exercising the power to pardon individual offenders on behalf of the Federation
    • Awarding honors on behalf of the Federation
    • Representing Germany at home and abroad

    Currently, German presidency is a deportation track for political pensioners.



  • I hated languages in school because besides grammar and word mistakes, grading always felt arbitrary. However, that teacher recognized that I struggled, gave me a generalized template and said “If you do it like that, you get a good grade”. I did it like that and got a good grade (we have 1 (perfect) - 6 (trash) and I improved from 4- to 2+ which is quite a big leap). So yea, that was the first time that I perceived that subject and a teacher of that subject as something real and not bs.



  • Police officers? The main issue here is that those laws are about balance. Balance of your rights and the persons’ you are filming. There are some general rules and a large grey area.

    In general your vlogging isn’t an issue. However, if you knowingly start recording a specific person e.g. a busker, or in your case a street scammer, things become more difficult - especially because you are vlogging. The expectation that you are going to upload the video makes it unlikely that you are just recording for evidence.

    I am not a lawyer. I think the police promarily tried to de-escalate here.
