    Canonical is basically the closed to corporate Linux you will find on the free distro market… They are pushing stuff you don’t want for marketing reasons (for example their own proprietary Snaps when a better working open source solution already exists with Flatpack), love their telemetry (can be mostly disabled for now, but given the defaults and their other behavior we can already see where this is heading) and in general decide more alongside their latest business plan than actually making sense or listening to users.








  • Oh, no! Their debt rose by 1,x percent… to a total of ~64%. That’s nearly 20% under EU average. And while countries with rates of 100-160% (let’s not even talk about Japan or US as they are playing in another league entirely) take on more debt to push the economy in times of crisis Germany is not spending anything as no new debts (beyond 0,35%) are allowed constitutionally.

    Sure… Germany totally has a debt problem. One of retarded politicians stuck in economic ideas of the 1970s that still don’t understand the difference between a country’s economy and business economy. So they refuse to take on any debt when everyone else does to make their location more attractive for companies via investments.

    And still the German economy is only shrinking if you round rediculous low numbers up to 0,1%. Guess the country will deindustrialise and collaps any day now. I hope someone tells the companies building massive new production sites in Germany that they are wasting their money on lost case they will lose all its industry… somehow…


  • When your government has taken on debt with the assumption that number keep go up, that’s a problem.

    And again, the opposite is true. They have reduced debt constantly for decades, did not spend big sums on stimuli while covid (in fact the recent budgetary discussion was about the unused covid funds) and are still not spending anything on the economy. If they actually would take on debt to invest it into economy boosts like everyone araund them does right now, they would obviously have growth.

    So they sat at ~+/-0 now and everyone loudly cries recession, doom and apocalypse because two quarters in a row had a (rounded down) -0.1% which technically qualifies.


  • Sure… so much common wisdom about Germany. Including their immidiate collaps any day now for the last 20+ years. Or the 5%+ economy loss should they not get Russian gas (after all those people who froze to death of course).

    In reality those massive losses -coming out of covid, still having supply chain issues and with not even a fraction of the stimulus money other countries spend to counteract on top of no more gas- are now what? +/-0? And with some more obsolete techs slowly sourcing out parts for cost reasons while new technologies open up shop there at the same time.

    The only actual risk for Germany (and a lot of other countries) is that people start to believe the bullshit, the outrage farming and doom scrolling trash and all the usual propaganda they are flodded with on a daily basis.



  • “Dabei predigt die Bundesregierung Sparsamkeit und die Einhaltung der Schuldenbremse.”

    Danke, dass uns endlich jemand -und dann auch noch ausgerechnet der Focus- erklärt, wer in Wirklichkeit die Schuldenbremse eingeführt hat, aus ideologischen Gründen daran hängt und Investitionen verhindert. Schade, dass wir Idioten die seit Jahrzehnten immer wieder wählen.

    Aber vielleicht kapieren es die Leute ja jetzt endlich und und unsere derzeitige Opposition kann uns nach der nächsten Wahl vor dem jahrzehnte anhaltenden Wahnsinn retten.

    (Wer Sarkasmus findet, kann ich behalten. Aber vorsicht, manchnmal beißt er.)





  • Natürlich ist die Kritik rein ideologisch. Sie geht ja schon von völlig falschen Vorraussetzungen aus: Nämlich genau dem Müll, der hier auch per Titel suggeriert werden soll.

    Nein, die Grünen wollen nicht den Mindestlohn auf mehr als 14€ erhöhen (und ja die Lügner, die das gerade mit “politische Entscheidungen an der Kommission vorbei lehnen wir ab!” beantworten wissen das natürlich sehr genau!). Die wollen die Regelung, nach der die Festsetzung erfolgt, an 60% des Medians koppeln. Also ziemlich genau dem, was Experten als Armutsgrenze definieren.

    Dass das in der Konsequenz über 14€ Mindestlohn bedeuten würde, liegt nicht daran, dass das irgendein angestrebter Wert ist, sondern dass arbeiten zum derzeitigen Mindestlohn verdammt nochmal ein Witz ist, weil da niemand von leben kann.
