Microw,

For a while I was on squabblr, and the thing they did right was to encourage lurkers to post and comment.

Microw,

Yup, tons of users quit at once when the mod team faltered because of disagreements with the admin regarding hate speech content. That’s when I decided to look for a different platform and migrate completely to Lemmy (was here before as well)

Microw,

Alternative Headline: “Ölkonzerne verwenden jeden Werbekanal 1:1 wie jedes andere Unternehmen”

"Blood money is sent to Russia [from Austria] every day with the gas bill:" EU ambassador summoned for criticising Austria’s Russian gas dependence (www.euractiv.com)

"Oh my God, 55% of Austria’s gas continues to come from Russia,” Martin Selmayr lamented in Vienna. Paying for continued Russian supplies was tantamount to helping finance its war against Ukraine, and no one protested, he added.

Microw,

He absolutely is right.

But it absolutely dumb to say this at an Event where you are invited to in your representative role, when the EU Commission you are representing doesnt agree with that statement.

Microw,

Diplomats aren’t free to speak whatever they want. Even if he is speaking the truth, you can’t do that in his position. Very unprofessional.

Microw,

The bad apples are quite visible sadly. Tons of Austrian companies have pulled out of Russia, tons of Austrians companies have been producing in Ukraine for years and obviously support Ukraine. But a few big conglomerates like Raiffeisen keep giving us a bad name because they dont want to lose money.

The gas thing is yet another blunder by the OMV (our gas+oil company) and the conservative party who signed a contract with Russia. We absolutely should be buying our gas elsewhere, but that’s not realistic as long as we have no suppliers. The government dont want Austrians to freeze in the winter. Other EU countries have done exactly zero to help us out in that regard btw. Moldova is switching from Russian gas to Romanian gas currently because Romania heavily helps them.

And the government is incompetent as fuck and still partly influenced by friends of Russia.

Microw,

government party

Wrong, FPÖ wasnt in government when the video was made and isnt in government now either.

And there is no proof that “Austrian intelligence helped the Wirecard CEO flee to Russia”. Also Marsalek wasnt CEO. The guy who supposedly helped him escape is an ex intelligence member who is well known for his controversial views and role in scandals.

But you’re definitely right about the fascist party’s ties to Russia and the strength of the economic elite.

Microw,

There is diplomatic protocol. If he has the “go” from the commission to criticize Austria, he absolutely should do so. But if he doesnt have that backing, he is actively creating a diplomatic crisis.

Microw,

You are aware that they have other channels for that? Contacts in the media who can print a story citing you “anonymously” etc.

Speaking out yourself as a diplomat creates a diplomatic crisis and increases the rift between the body you’re representing and the hosting country.

Microw,

To be fair the Ukrainian army knew that they were not supposed to use Starlink for military purposes. The company entered into a contract with the Ukranian government particularily for civilian use.

But yeah, I still agree with you.

Microw,

I dont think I know any person who uses Wordpad. Most probably dont even know that it exists, hidden away somewhere in the starting menu…

Microw,

Yeah, if one would do a movie on the Manhattan Project they wouldnt omit important figures to that project like the Oppenheimer film did

Fatal shooting of University of South Carolina student who tried to enter wrong home 'justifiable,' police say (www.nbcnews.com)

The homeowner who fatally shot a 20-year-old University of South Carolina student who tried to enter the wrong home on the street he lived on Saturday morning will not face charges because the incident was deemed “a justifiable homicide” under state law, Columbia police announced Wednesday....

Microw, (edited )

No one was actually breaking into their home though. Literally nothing would have happened to that home owner if he had been less trigger-happy and tried to comminucate with the kid.

Microw,

Ah, da verkauft jemand schon Schmeißobst für die nächste Pressekonferenz

Microw,

Let’s see how many servers actually implement ElastiSearch. It’s kinda resources-heavy.

[D / A] Wildschweine durch Atomwaffentests bis heute stark belastet (www.spiegel.de) German

Wildschweine können heute mit Strahlenwerten belastet sein, die den für den Verkauf/Verzehr erlaubten Wert um das 25fache übersteigt. Das ist bekannt. Neu - dank einer Studie - ist hingegen, dass wohl nicht die Reaktorkatastrophe von Tschernobyl dafür Hauptverantwortlich ist, sondern die zahlreichen oberirdischen...

Microw,

Nicht nur im Grenzgebiet. Die Cäsiumwerte im Wildschweinfleisch sind in ganz Ostösterreich ein Problem (im Westen weiß ichs nicht).

Die Radioaktivität nach den Atomtests war also dermaßen hoch, dass trotz der 30 Jahre Halbwertszeit (d.h. es ist nur noch < ¼ übrig) die unterirdisch wachsenden Pilze immer noch extrem verstrahlt sind.

Und direkt nach den Tests war alles an der Oberfläche rund 4-mal so sehr verstrahlt wie aktuell die unterirdischen Pilze.

Krass.

Microw,

(Meta) Hey, bitte denk beim nächsten Post an Regel 2, danke!

(Meta) Hey, bitte denk beim nächsten Post an Regel 2, danke!

Microw,

Middle aged, Central Europe. Yes, manual is the default here and I learned it. But I drive so rarely that it’s not completely in my patterns and every so often I forget to switch at intersections.

Microw,

Learning is easy, but actually getting it into your subconscious when to switch gears and not be distracted is not that easy. It comes with the experience of driving a lot.

Microw,

We are talking about EU elections. You vote for candidates from your passport Country to the EU parliament in the Country you live in.

So i guess no, a french citizen living in Belgium can not vote at 16, but a belgian citizen living in France can vote at 16. Would be my guess.

Microw,

@seven

Gibt es eine Spezifizierung, wie die Lokalisierung der Beiträge gekennzeichnet werden soll?

Microw,

Ist halt eventuell ab und zu subjektiv. Also zB wenn es um Minister geht oder Ministerpräsidenten/Landeshauptleute. Aiwanger zB kannte ja niemand außerhalb von Bayern vor der aktuellen Skandal und hätte es nicht zuordnen können, wäre für Bayern aber total logisch wo der zu verorten ist…

Microw,

What? Definitely not.

At least catholic christianity emphasizes how Jesus brought change to the jewish traditions on how to live “close to god”. Change is a thing in the catholic church, which is exactly why people have tried to make a lot of things they liked into unchanging doctrines over the centuries.

Microw,

Wenn es ein einmaliger Fehltritt wäre, könnte man es mit einer ehrlichen Entschuldigung durchaus abhaken. Nur wäre diese halt eh niemals erfolgt aufgrund der hier handelnden Personen im Verband…

Microw,

Ach ja richtig, die “ehrliche Entschuldigung”, die sich eine PR-Abteilung ausgedacht hat - den Widerspruch siehste aber schon?

Microw,

The term originates from professionals - psychiatrists etc - who work in that field, because they knew even decades ago that “pron” is the wrong word for this kind of material.

Microw,

Bunch of BRICS countries arent democratic themselves, not to speak of their new additions.

The whole BRICS conference didnt allow journalist questions

Microw,

Ich beschwer much ja gerne über den Populismus der ÖVP. Aber dort haben so grundbösartig-dumme Konservative wie Merz momentan keine so eine Plattform. Das muss man schon sagen.

Microw,

“But Henry Cavill is such a nice guy! Why would they ditch him, just like…” checks notes “every other big franchise he had?”

Microw,

They failed because of drama behind the scenes. His camp says that it was bad writing, the producers say that Cavill tried to overstep his role. Both things can be true.

Microw,

Mercantlism.

Yes, it’s considered “proto-Capitalism”, but its very distinct from how Capitalism is implemented in most countries nowadays.

There are dozens of economic models and theories that mix ideas of capitalism and communism.

Microw,

The UI is peobably the main problem, I imagine. The app would need to know how to portray a certain post - in the Lemmy style or in the Mastodon style?

Microw,

The only thing Telegram has going for itself is that it’s Non-Meta and Non-Western.

Anyone who has a closer look at Telegram’s reputation knows that their privacy claims are dubious. If you want end to end encryption, even WhatsApp is better. But these things depend on your individual threat model.

Microw,

““Our colleagues from BRDO (Better Regulation Delivery Office) calculated that in 2021, law enforcement officers spent about 85,500 working hours on cases related to the distribution of porn.”

All that while Ukraine has been one of the biggest producers of porn ever since at least the 1990s…

Microw,

I know various people who have been going on vacation to Croatia for years. Was already somewhat popular destination for Austrians.

The amount of tourists has skyrocketed so much in the last 5 years that it’s not fun anymore in parts of the coast. Mass tourism, people going there just to drink themselves to oblivion etc.

I know that recent drama has caused a bit of uneasiness in the community for this platforms future, but I am optimistic for lemmy. It might be helpful to look to mastodon to learn how to move forward.

I was never extremely active on Mastodon until recently but I followed it’s development relatively closely from its infancy. And I will say that it’s really strange to watch lemmy face nearly identical issues that Mastodon did when it was in a similar development stages. (Though, some of the drama thus far have been...

Microw,

There is !fediverselore for keeping up with Fedi Drama

Microw,

Good to know!

Microw,

The original reporting on this case is by The Times of Israel, a politically centrist Israeli newspaper :

Microw,

I recently learned that all governments participating in the Euro guarantee that business have to accept cash. Refusing it is a violation of the accords.

Microw,

When I open an indesign file at work where someone didnt properly label anything 5 years ago before they left the company

Österreichs Ex-Kanzler: Kurz wegen Verdachts der Falschaussage angeklagt (www.n-tv.de) German

Sebastian Kurz, der ehemalige Kanzler Österreichs, zählt lange zu den Hoffnungsträgern der Konservativen. Nun muss er sich vor Gericht verantworten: Ihm wird vorgeworfen, im Ibiza-Ausschuss eine Falschaussage getätigt zu haben. Der 36-Jährige bestreitet die Vorwürfe....

Microw,

Seine Verteidigungsstrategie ist, dass das Protokoll der Ausschusssitzung falsch sei. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, wurde aber letztes Jahr auch die Audioaufnahme der Stenografen geleakt.

Microw,

Tbf they were heading there even without NATO intervention. The moment people started to go against Gaddafi, that Country was doomed.

In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows (jlai.lu)

I generally have a “home” Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to “lose” it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

Microw,

Hm, was that always the case? I seem to remember me trying to check this years ago and it didnt work then

Microw,

“In anticipation of upcoming changes” sounds ominous :D

Microw,

And from the reviewers I usually follow, the film has consistently received “it’s fun and better than some other super hero movies” reviews.

Microw,

I see the pronouns on Sync, so it might indeed be the client.

Microw,

Ich fände es schön, wenn zumindest die Titel der Posts hier nicht so dermaßen Deutschland-POV wären, also zB nicht kontextlos “Bundesregierung” da steht. Dann kann ich mir beim Drüberscrollen schon mal überlegen: um wessen Regierung geht es da? Die deutsche? Die österreichische?
