That’s the goal.

Well I’m thinking the same, but then I’m not sure where to put this video (ignoring the sound track) on a scale from drunken singing to obvious Nazi salute.

Maybe i don’t know enough about Bierzelt culture. If they were singing Hölle, hölle, hölle or Atemlos, would you notice the (right) arm in the air? The arm movement seems unnatural (if the intention was signing with arms in the air), but this could still sort-of pass as not 100% Heil Hitler.

The band chose the song, for sure, that’s questionable. The event organisers should not allow this to happen. But the guests, should they leave? Sit down quietly and wait for the next song?

I could be in that tent and not recognise the song. Not my kind of music.

I could see people innocently copying the movement of others. It may be a tent full of Nazis, scary, but the video does not proof this.

This did not happen at Oktoberfest (Munich, Bavaria). This was in some village in Saxony.

Someone should clarify if this

• leaks only the cc number (as shown here)
• or otherises a payment

Contactless payments use the EMV protocol. Leaking the cc number is bad, but happens all the time. An actual payment athorisation replaces both PIN and signature. The victim’s bank will argue that the victim authorised the transaction at the POS.

Sorry, eh.

And her biggest fuck-up was… attending a party?!?

Exactly

Scholz is right that nuclear is dead in German. Nuclear is always political and there’s no stable political majority pro nuclear. This has nothing to do with the technology. It just won’t happen.

Most entreprises, energy or else, are privately run and financed. Capitalism. Nuclear is private on paper, but no one is going to build reactors without governent support. Many industries are regulated, like banking, but they are still driven by profit motives, private interest. At least in Germany, there’s no entrepreneurial mindset behind nuclear. Rent seeking business people and lobbyists, sure. But not risk takers. The businesses lobbying pro nuclear are lead by ex-politicians and similar types who secretly want a safe government job.

Nuclear is dead and it’s not the biggest problem. The much bigger elephant in the room is that we mostly talk about renewables. Sure, renewals grow, but nowhere near the rate needed. Everyone can see this, the data is available, and we just don’t give a shit.

And don’t get me started on hydrogen. Doesn’t make sense to even consider hydrogen unless you have a huge surplus on (preferably renewable) energy.

I don’t get this argument. Most business don’t own any property. The office buildings are rented.

You are ideas are good, but Mastodon is already Mastodon. It’s a weak brand for the general public, but a strong one for those who adopted Mastodon already. All those Fediverse applications have quirky names, but for some that’s a feature. We actually Aunt Sally on Facebook and Trump on X, not here.

I totally dig the bird metapher, though. Maybe all those birds will flock to where the Mastodon lives. They’re different, but they get along. And the old mamooth is providing free nests for all bird species so why not give it a try.

Most bosses aren’t billionaires, though.

Just need another sun on the opposite side
