Auch wenn ich dir inhaltlich komplett zustimme, wäre eine andere Wortwahl besser geeignet für die Debatte.

To be fair buying a /e/OS fairphone also directly helps the development of these alternative systems. Therefore I think its justified to pay a bit more if you’ve got the money to spare.

In the case of Fairphone you support the further development of /e/OS also financially. Otherwise the alternative Operating Systems will never be able to fully mature.That alone can justify the purchase of a phone in my eyes (if you’ve got the money to spare).

While you can disagree on economics terms, this prejudice against an entire people (“importing these humans”) is not acceptable (or specify that you only mean the people who commit the crimes).

As much as I repel this action by the french State, I think it’s quite unfair to criticize the currently leadership for that.

Da müssen wir wohl noch ein wenig geduldig bleibn, aber im Zweifel lieber gscheit als gar nicht.

Ok, Schere :)

Es gibt sie noch die guten Nachrichten :)

I would like to disagree in the name of Maultaschen, Spätzle und Kloß mit Soß…

Mir wäre ein europäischer Anbieter auch lieber, wenn jedoch die Daten auf bayerischen Rechenzentren liegen, ist es glaube ich nicht ganz so wild. Die Frage ist vielleicht auch eher, ob man trotz Microsofts Monopolstellung im Zweifel zügig wechseln könnte.

But as far as I understand, for e2e programs that doesnt matter as long as the client is open-source, isn’t it?

Es war wohl ein: “Abhören unter Freunden - das geht garnicht!”

Aber ob sich das trotz des Auffliegens und dem Schaden am Ruf gelohnt hat, ist eine gute Frage.

Wär eigentlich praktisch, wenn man solche Pfosten in einem Wiki sammeln könnt wie auf Reddit…

I agree, though I guess as long as there are more people to reach on twitter, politicians will switch reluctantly at best. So I think everyone - regardless of politician or citizen - who is willing to make the sacrifice of less content should do so.

That’s good news! However one problem I still see is that Wero will be limited to only the inside of the EU whereas the alternatives work also internationally. So not few people will still need paypal etc., which will probably make it even harder to convince them to switch over to Wero.

Zur Abwechslung mal gute Nachrichten :)

Some banks like Sparda Bank, Sparkasse and VR in Germany have their own app at least on android as far as I know. And the EU forced Apple to open its ecosystem to other apps.

From what I heard the European armies match Russias army in power overall - however I’m not sure if they could be as fast as Putin in getting this power coordinated to the Baltics (if there was a conflict, then it would take place there). So I think that should be the most important part to work on.

Furthermore I think that spending the money on more advanced equipment is better than a mandatory conscription, which would make the current shortage of highly skilled workers only worse (and there’s also the question about how it would affect 18-year-olds personally).

I also agree that investing in training, equipment and deployment capabilities seems like a better option than having a conscription as the number of fighting personnel is roughly equal (and as a defender you need less people for defense). From what I heard the European armies match Russias army in power overall - however I’m not sure if they could be as fast as Putin in getting this power coordinated to the Baltics.

Regarding the median and wealth statistics: I agree that they are concerning especially for a rich country as Germany. However I think that is mainly due to the lower home ownership rates compared to most other countries. So I think it’s more an accidental situation (with f.e. historic reasons) than result of more neoliberal policies. Still an important point to highlight and work on.

I think the concerns mainly evolve around the Baltics as f.e. Estonia couldn’t defend alone against the Russian army and the armies of other nations could be to slow/ineffective to respond - before the region has been conquered. However I am also unsure how mandatory conscription could prevent this situation (maybe as a way to recruit more professional soldiers?).
