Fun fact: in Germany, anything “unexpected” they write in TOS is not legally binding, because everyone knows noone reads it.

While i do get this vibe from the headline, the article actually closes with a call to be mindful of the shortcomings of generative AI (while using it)

In the article it does not seem like automated messages. Rather guess that their fake news detection triggered, because links to these government sites spiked even though the sites were seldom mentioned before.

I actually see street cleaning teams here in Germany regularly where one person blows the dirt out from bike racks and from under parked cars and the other person sits in the big street sweeper to pick up the dirt. I think this is a very valid use for blowers. The blowers are electric, but I sure would.not mind them a bit more quiet.

The unfun part is when its your personal rights (personally) and you have to discuss them to defend yourself.

You need to understand that this is not about sexuality, but about patriarchy. For them sex is about power over women, not about pleasing them. Cunnilingus focuses on female pleasure, which is a problem for this world view. Men unwilling to take part in the oppression of women are seen as “unmanly”. This is expressed through the accusation of being “gay”.

The gallery is here: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/

why do you dislike the name? I like it actually!

I don’t think the new owners can just pull it from F-Droid, I hope the F-Droid team has a code backup. I think they will migrate everything to fossify. With the gallery this already happened, the SMT Gallery vanished from my phone and the fossify gallery appeared. I guess that’s a good way to go, since for now fossify is just the same thing with a different name.

It’s not new actually. Maybe revived. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

The interesting thing here is: this missleading headline comes from the official state news outlet of Germany…

Here’s the thing: people don’t make decision based on cost, but on what they feel what the cost is. For example: there are studies showing people underestimate the cost of car ownership by a factor of 2. They typically forget about the loss in value and the repair costs. Parking fees (if taken per occasion) are cost that people actually feel every day, making it more likely that they factor into their decision, maybe even more so than fuel costs.

That is actually a great idea for a fake sign to put up… 🥸
