I will always read any variant of "ma boy" in the voice of the king from CD-i Zelda.

Der Fairness halber muss man sagen, dass in der Gruppe rund um Stauffenberg auch schon echte, aufrichtige Demokraten waren. Aber es war ein wilder Mix, vom Kriegsverbrecher mit Amgst vor der roten Armee, über "christliche Traditionen wiederherstellen"-Konservativen mit ambivalentem Verhältniss zur Demokratie, bis hin zum authentisch humanistischen und überzeugten Widerständler. Stauffenberg selbst war definitiv ein Feind der Nazis - aber man weiß auch, dass er wie viele andere auch nach dem Sieg über Frankreich erstmal so eine "Naja, erstmal gewinnen, die scheinen ja grad den Krieg gut zu managen"-Einstellung hatte.

Für Interessierte: https://www.gdw-berlin.de/vertiefung/themen/171-widerstand-von-juden/ ist eine ganz gute zusammenfassende Übersicht zum Starten.

Naja, in Aufmerksamkeit und Rolle im Narrativ werden sie ja eben de-fakto schon heute gegeneinander aufgewogen, Stauffenberg wird in Schulen deutlich regelmäßiger behandelt, hat deutlich mehr Berichterstattung zu Jubiläen und co., und wird auch oft unkritisch dargestellt. Aber er war halt.... nicht so weit weg vom Faschismus wie man sich gewünscht hätte. Hat schon Gründe, dass z.B. die Wirmer-Flagge sich auch heute oft mal bei Rechtsradikalen Verschwörungstheoretikern im Schrebergarten findet, die mit der Stauffenberg-Gruppe die Hoffnung auf ein nicht durch die totale Niederlage gedemütigtes, straff durch die "Guten" Rechten geführtes Deutschland verbinden.

Dass das auf persönlicher Ebene immer noch jede Menge Mut erfordert hat, steht außer Frage. Das Meme ist eher ein Ausdruck an Frustration mit Mainstream-Heldenverehrung von Stauffenberg und seiner Gruppe die ideologisch doch stark bei den Interessen der alten Junkerklasse und Militärelite stand, während Georg Elser eher nur von Menschen mit zumindest etwas Enthusiasten-Interesse an Geschichte wirklich gekannt wird. Obwohl seine Geschichte aus meiner Sicht auch tatsächlich interessanter ist. (Ein Attentat auf Hitler planen, das knapp fehlschlägt, wenn man selbst in der Militärführung steckt ist mutig und interessant; Ein Attentat als Tischler ohne große Verbindungen planen, das auch nur knapp fehlschlägt, ist in meinen Augen halt tatsächlich Anerkennungswürdiger und interessanter.)

Not impossible, although, sadly - any system where anonymity is the prime focus will also invite fucked up shit in addition to legitimate use, without any complicated motives behind it. There's just a relevant fraction of humanity who are, sometimes essentially, sometimes temporarily, messed up fucks. Which is why I think providing ways to combat abuse has to be a high priority for the underlying development of any project like it, unless it explicitly doesn't aim for mainstream adoption.

Ja, ich fands tatsächlich gerade weil es eine Perspektive von einem tech-interessierten aber gerade explizit nicht Linux-Nerd ist sehr interessant als Perspektive. Worauf achtet so ein Mensch? Was ist für den Ersteindruck von ihm wichtig? Was sind die Prioritäten die er kommuniziert? Ist glaube ich für potentielle Wechsler die frisch nach Linux kommen tatsächlich ein ganz gutes Video, während ein tiefergehendes Distro-Review, dass dann anfängt sich in für Linux-Veranen wichtigen, aber potentiell erstmal einschüchternden, Details zu verlieren, da eventuell abschrecken könnte.

Gibt es eigentlich quer-migrations-tools, so dass ich meine Paketauswahl, wlan-netzwerke und andere persönliche Konfigoptionen einfach beim Installieren übertragen kann?

Weiß nicht ob es noch Besseres gibt, aber für gängige Package-Manager wie Pacman gab es Befehle um die Paketauswahl als Textliste zu exportieren und importieren, und das scheint es analog mindestens auch für Debian zu geben. Da ich schon ewig nicht mehr selbst gesucht hatte, hier mal das erste Suchergebniss dafür, dass ich gefunden hab: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94308

Bei Einstellungen zu wlan-netzwerken, etc. kenne ich aus dem Stehgreif keine tools zur Migrierung, aber ich habe dafür home-Verzeichnis, Config-Dateien und "dotfiles" generell meistens in eigenen Partitionen, die bei Reinstallation von der Distro selbst nicht angerührt werden müssen. Das funktioniert allerdings auch nicht immer reibungslos - besser ist vmtl die Config-Files einfach selbst vor dem Neu installieren zu sichern um sie händisch wiederherzustellen (oder vll gibt es doch auch schon automatisierte tools für)

Karl "K-Pop" Müller, named for "popping" a lot of Ketamine in the past, nervously waited for Mario to answer. He had just confessed, that he had given Tony "The Thing" Fraticelli's girlfriend a foot rub when he was supposed to be on bodyguard duty only. Sure, Karl was a valuable member of the family, he had saved the boss's life back during the turf war. But Tony was also known to be gruesome when it came to jealousy... Mario leaned in, putting his hand softly on Karl's shoulder, saying with a voice full of anxious empathy:

I had a wild ride with matrix, originally wanting to run a node on my server. That did not turn out well, because I was a bit stupid and just assumed there would be more admin/mod tools out of the box. As it turned out, I had inadvertently allowed spam/abuse accounts on my node without even noticing, because naive as I was, I assumed my admin-level account would get informed of stuff like user registrations and abuse reports in the standard Element frontend. As a bonus, when I checked what was supposedly the official matrix support channel, it was repeatedly getting spammed with CSAM and gore at the time. That was when I realised, that it definitely was not the ecosystem for me, and running a node without experience had been a pretty stupid idea on my end.

I have the same phenomenon, and sometimes really weird intrusions, like - a few days ago I had a dream of working in an office building, and out of nowhere during work, there would be a drawer just filled with piss to pee into for the employees - but of course it never works.

Just checked, the feedback form is also available on Desktop searches, also at the very bottom-right corner. It seems to open the same dialogue. Just gave them a small text, that the Fediverse (Mastodon, PeerTube or even Lemmy/PieFed) would open up communication to a lot of enthusiastic people, where there is a large overlap of interest in data souvereignity and ecological activism - the two main selling points of Ecosia.

You will find it is extra spicy here, since a lot of the "root" culture of Lemmy grew from exiled tankies of different flavours originally (it has since become a lot more diverse). If you are into that kind of drama, oh boy, it's easily in the top 10 most discussed topics on Lemmy.

Oh hey, it's another opportunity to post this one:

Yupp, I never got the hang of cross-eyed viewing, even with the tips that are around, whereas the "looking through the image" technique is super easy for me, basically just relaxing my eyes. I assume there's people where it is the other way around, and the cross-eyed method works better for them.

Basically it's about which image is transferred as information from which of your eyes, and the two different techniques swap the eyes, which also swaps the 3D depth information.

I love the Wellington here viewed the "wrong" way - like the ocean is a massive plateau surrounding the coast, with that strip of developed area rising like another giant wall.

A mere 0.1% of users share 80% of fake news. Twelve accounts – known as the “disinformation dozen” – created most of the vaccine misinformation on Facebook during the pandemic. These few hyperactive users produced enough content to create the false perceptions that many people were vaccine hesitant.

So, this is super anecdotal, but through the father of a friend I learned about a guy who was just downright a walking stereotype in that regard. Said father is a rather conservative guy (ex-cop, actually), got lucky and rather rich, and he lived in a suburban village here in Germany. Said neighbour, as described by him: Also an ex-cop, old acquaintance, wife and kids left him because he was violent, living financially comfortably in a large house in that suburban German village on his own, but miserable. And he, unironically, sent said father of my friend far-right propaganda articles, images, messages just... all day long. Every 10 minutes or so. Presumably as mass messages to about anyone who still had a semblance of contact with him. Anecdotal, hearsay with 2 degrees of separation, but - it was the first time I realised those people existed as actual people just casually living their lives around us all.

It's definitely not the same, but I am somewhat reminded of Robert Sapolski's Baboon stress study

Some key paragraphs:

Robert Sapolsky and Lisa Share report evidence of a higher order cultural tradition in wild baboons in Kenya. Rooted in field observations of a group of olive baboons (called the Forest Troop) since 1978, Sapolsky and Share document the emergence of a unique culture affecting the “overall structure and social atmosphere” of the troop.

Through a heartbreaking twist of fate, the most aggressive males in the Forest Troop were wiped out. The males, which had taken to foraging in an open garbage pit adjacent to a tourist lodge, had contracted bovine tuberculosis, and most died between 1983 and 1986. Their deaths drastically changed the gender composition of the troop, more than doubling the ratio of females to males, and by 1986 troop behavior had changed considerably as well; males were significantly less aggressive.

After the deaths, Sapolsky stopped observing the Forest Troop until 1993. Surprisingly, even though no adult males from the 1983–1986 period remained in the Forest Troop in 1993 (males migrate after puberty), the new males exhibited the less aggressive behavior of their predecessors.

The authors found that while in some respects male to male dominance behaviors and patterns of aggression were similar in both the Forest and control troops, there were differences that significantly reduced stress for low ranking males, which were far better tolerated by dominant males than were their counterparts in the control troops. The males in the Forest Troop also displayed more grooming behavior, an activity that's decidedly less stressful than fighting. Analyzing blood samples from the different troops, Sapolsky and Share found that the Forest Troop males lacked the distinctive physiological markers of stress, such as elevated levels of stress-induced hormones, seen in the control troops.

But if aggressive behavior in baboons does have a cultural rather than a biological foundation, perhaps there's hope for us as well.
