If I have the choice between traveling somewhere during daytime for a few hours or going overnight, I‘d choose overnight every time.
Traveling during daytime always feels like wasted time to me, and it’s always a little bit exhausting. During the night I can sleep and arrive at my destination rested and ready to go.
Whichever for me was in 2010 when I set up Ubuntu for my grandma and put a Firefox shortcut on her desktop and she never had any issues with her computer again.
Very simple use-case but it was a lot better served than by Windows Vista at the time. These days it’s even better served by an iPad though.
IME, that works as long as the user does nothing but browse the web and nothing in the environment or the computer changes. Things get tricky the moment any of those assumptions are invalidated. And that's because the user is not really operating the computer, but just using it to access the web. That it's a "desktop" is only an implementation detail.
Or just use a laptop and you have a built in UPS and a backup keyboard and display already attached. If you can find one with Thunderbolt you should have the bandwidth for quite a few hard drives.
Unfortunately nuclear power is by no means free from CO2. Especially if you need to build new plants, massive amounts of CO2 are released because of all the concrete that is needed.
Does that really mean much when it's factored over the lifetime of the plant? Wind has to be replaced much more often so you're causing CO2 repeatedly.
Those are good questions. I don’t understand why you were downvoted.
To answer: We are offering service contracts and contract engineering services around virtualization, KVM and a couple of other topics.
The long term goal for this specific project is to support the security goals our customers have and to enable a couple of KVM features in Virtualbox as well. We plan to keep this updated with upstream Virtualbox and KVM.
Please upstream this code. That ensures this work will live forever with better maintenance without you all having to chase upstream vbox AND will be easier to justify use if it's an included vbox component. I would find it difficult to justify using this to my bosses "lets just go use this custom fork of vbox" isn't going to fly for most.
Still living here I must point out that you are pointing an equally one sided picture.
While all of what you say is true and problematic, there are people from all over the world living in Dresden and some parts (especially Neustadt) are politically rather left leaning.
That's not how it works. There can be a lot of good people, but all you need is one in-your-face racist encounter to ruin your decade. It's like how even a rumor of a shark will keep you firmly on the beach.
Indeed. One single racist encounter of mine ruined my past 2 decades. I can’t help but think about it all the time till this day. It’s honestly wondrous how a simple insult of 2 words could destabilize my mental health and even pushed me over the tide to harming myself seriously once, thankfully I was rushed to the hospital fast. I’m still getting nightmares every other day, the blurry face of that stranger waking me up in cold sweats (I couldn’t properly see her because it was night). I even got recently diagnosed with terminal cancer due to chronic stress, and my obesity didn’t get any better since the incident. All because some random stranger shouted me 2 random words at some random hour of the night on some random street.
Edit: The very act of writing this comment traumatized me so much that I died of a heart attack. Fortunately the graveyard is near a cell tower, I can get LTE signal.
I'm a little confused -- how do we get from "it takes one homophobic reaction to deeply affect someone", to "if someone is deeply affected by one homophobic reaction from a population, we should be a jerk to the entire population?"
I think the point wasn't that Saxony and Saxons were terrible people in general, but rather that if you're non-white you might get smashed in the face or murdered on the street if you're unlucky, and the odds of this happening being higher than in other parts of Germany. Which seems fair to me given recent history.
You seem to be on some mission on this thread, maybe you should take a step back and reflect the discussion and arguments.
1. Hate crimes are hugely different from battery/assault, so I'm not sure how your reference adds anything
2. Police data is not a trustworthy source, as police is biased too. Just check some news articles about police refusing to even take in a report about hate crime, where this is more likely to happen, and consider what this means for the stats you're quoting
Believe it or not, hate crimes do exist in Germany. Maybe not as a legal term, but that's a legal thing and a political decision. You cannot forbid the term to be applied single handedly. And if a political decision was made to not count something, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
However, based on your cliché populist statement of distrusting any media because it's biased, I don't see a point in continuing.
Ethnic Germans are just as much a threat to LGBT people than fanatic Muslims are, and it's not just the former GDR where reactionary and fascist attitudes bloom.
I had to spend half a year in the ass cracks of Niederbayern... not something I'd like to repeat. People openly talking "something like that (i.e. LGBT) wouldn't have been a thing under Hitler" over their beers or someone shouting Sieg and the full pub responding Heil ("Sieg Heil" was the verbal Nazi salute) is common there.
And then, these very same people have the audacity to complain that "the gays" lure their children away to the cities... no you moron, you shouting Nazi salutes in a pub does.
No, i was giving a hint that parent was fearmongering, which i consider to be some bad thing. So i paralleled it with the fearmongering of the AfD because i think everyone agrees that this is bad.
And you backed them up with even more fearmongering. Why is a self-proclaimed antifascist using fascist methods? "Its justified when *I* do it" my ass. The AfD is problem enough, don't add to it. Bring your points across without fearmongering against groups of people.
> And you backed them up with even more fearmongering.
What fearmongering?! FFS. Just look at the election results of the 2021 elections, it's not by chance that the AfD is stronger in the rural areas - they were 2nd in Straubing, which is the area where I lived.
I know better that this is not true since i experience first-hand that wehrabooism and homosexuality (including mine) are living by each other with no issues. What you are doing is scaremongering against some group.
Neustadt is marketed as some left leaning paradise to outside investors of Saxony's liberalism. But as Indian guy in Germany around 2 years back, that was exactly my experience in Saxony. I have lived across all of Germany over the past few years, and nowhere did I face any hostility compared to Saxony and East Germany in general.
While your statement, put that generally, is certainly true, i wonder if you're familiar with leftism in Germany or in Europe in general (honest question). Antiracism and Antifascism are almost part of the core DNA of many of these circles or at least their self-perception. Doesn't mean that they necessarily live up it, of course. However, the term "left" means something quite different in Europe than compared to the popular usage of that term in the US where, i believe, a large chunk of the audience here is based.
For real, plenty of authoritarian leftists in the world who think the only path to socialism is through an autocracy with a heavy sprinkle of ethnic nationalism. But I think the commenter meant the more lib-left in europe, the kind who would be friends with anarchists.
I was literally pointing out another aspect on top of what GP said of that region and ended with saying that the city is "super nice". I love visiting and still have many friends there.
