Haha, already there. I canceled my Netflix a year ago or so after the amount of cheap self produced stuff got too much and they removed more and more older quality content.

Now, whenever I want to stream I sign up for a single streaming service for a month or two - but the time where I was just subscribed all the time is over.

Ah one reason also was the sharing crackdown, I had kept the subscription long term as my kids used it when they were at my place or my ex-wife’s. Nowadays it doesn’t work anymore as (for example) the TV my son has at the ex-wife’s place never is connected via my internet.

With added commercials, less quality etc streaming got less attractive. Hey, nowadays I regularly go to movie theaters, again.

And if things get worse, somewhere I still have my captain’s hat and the wooden leg for sailing the seven seas…

Tesla just needs a new slogan or a good marketing campaign.

Something like:

Tesla - power by joy

Or “Kraft durch Freude” in German.

All that would perfectly fit the brand image.

Oh wow, thanks for the tips! I’ll check them out.

It was “The Avatar” in a German translation. I read it twice or so at that time - and it’s many years since, so I have only a dim recollection of all the details, but a lot of politics, and (if I don’t mix it up now) questionable physics regarding light speed and mass, a lot of sex and some weird gaelic inspired poetry.

Maybe I’ll find a copy one day again, to have a new look with my now old eyes and different woldview.

From what I’ve seen on goodreads or so I had a bit of misfortune as The Avatar isn’t known as his best work. But beggars can’t be choosers, at that time I got my sci fi fix by browsing the one bookstand with scifi in the central station’s bookstore next to my bus stop home after school… they threw me out once or twice “This is for buying books, not for reading”

I have just read one Poul Anderson (when I was a teenager) and the most important thing I remember was people fucking each other all the time.

So Germany didn’t have dictator oppression in the 30s and 40s? You think we didn’t have propaganda and we didn’t just kill people for another opinion? And we had access to outside information?

I’m talking about a moral duty to oppose, to inform yourself in spite of all that. And I know it is not easy. We Germans failed that miserably.

The plabook Putin is playing, we’ve been through it and it is was what lead to WW2.

No, not all Russians are evil and deserve to die. But closing your eyes and playing oblivious to what’s happening out there, just believing the state propaganda and living in a position “oh it’s just the bad leader” is not a morally OK position.

If there is a dictator in your country you have some moral duty to find out at least a bit about the truth.

How do I know?

I’m German.

My grandparent’s generation was the one that actively closed their eyes, that actively looked away, that everything that happend was someone else’s problem. They were the Generation that arranged themselves, that did good business as long as it wasn’t them that were deported, killed or fought at in the war.

This is not a position that is morally OK, but this is what I see of a lot of Russians. Not all, but a lot.

No, but I have a device with a LCD display where I can look it up

I’m not trying to argue against you, I’m just trying to rally people against crappy business tactics.

Thanks for the personal attack, though.

I’m keeping a mumber of my first generation Eneloops around. Around 10% of the ones I bought in the 2010s died, the others are still duing duty in my TV remote control etc.

The ones that died mostly died because of staying in a moving box for around 6 years or so after I divorced and forgot about them.

So I’m amazed how many of them just keep working.

You don’t get cookie check boxes because of GDPR. You’re getting them because companies want to track you, and need to ask if they do so.

If they don’t want to steal your private info they don’t need cookie check boxes, even under GDPR.

Additionally, those shitty checkboxes, that take 1000 clicks and 5 minutes if you don’t want to get tracked? Illegal under GDPR. Rejected getting tacked needs to be “as easy” as getting tracked by GDPR law.

Companies hating their tracking data business going away like to shit on GDPR - and if it’s repeated frequently enough peopme believe it.

(Btw Kosa sounds really dangerous in itself, I’m not advocating for that)

Da bin ich schon durch, hatte vor 10 Jahren ne kutane Leishmaniose aka Orientbeule. Wird durch Sandmücken übertragen. Wo gibt’s die? In Südeuropa und seit kurzem auch (noch vereinzelt) in Deutschland - weils durch den Klimawandel warm genug wird für die.

Ach ja, wurde erfolgreich behandelt, war im Gesicht und laut Wikipedia “heilt nach ca. 2Jahren spontan ab unter der Bildung entstellender Narben”

ftfy.

Das ganze Design von denen is weiß blau rot

5 year old me after it bounces back from my finger I accidentally put there- agaaaain! agaaain!

And the stupidest of all car owners is not smarter than a 5y old kid.

Do we also have something like r/dontputyourdickinthat on lemmy?

Erste sinnvolle Erklärung.

Ich kaufe Joghurt in 1/2 Liter Einweggläsern. Die Einweggläser spüle ich und verwende sie immer wieder anstelle von Tupperdosen. Wenn ich koche, packe ich einzelne Portionen in die Gläser.

(Nee, das ist kein food prepping, nur wenn ich koche ist das halt selten mal gerade eine Portion - den Rest ess ich später)

Letztes Jahr ist mein Vater krank geworden, nach Wochen im Krankenhaus und 2x künstlichen Koma hatte ich dann ein Gespräch mit den Ärzten was das Ziel der Behandlung wäre.

Um den Preis einer schweren Pflegebedürftigkeit das Leben zu erhalten war es jedenfalls nicht. Der Pflegenotstand ist in die Diskussion eingeflossen.

Ich selbst werde eine Patientenverfügung erstellen, denn wenn ich in so eine Situation komme, möchte ich auch, dass lebenserhaltende Massnahmen wie z. B. eine Dialyse unterbleiben, bevor ich in so ein Heim komme.

Genau das wollte ich ausdrücken, deswegen steht da “wir” und nicht “keiner”

Ich hätte die kleine Änderung wahrscheinlich fett schreiben sollen.
