No. He is bad and he should feel bad. He was sad because his evil plans didn't work out the way he had hoped. He is alone because he abuses the people around him because he considers himself a superior being for whom others are just play things.

His backstory of abuse goes a way to explain why he is the way he is, but it does not excuse it.

What is the upside of allowing the government to kill citizens?

Kultur, Sport und Gemeinschaft extrem in der DDR gefördert wurden.

Nur konforme Kultur und Kunst wurde gefördert. Jedes Zeichen von Nonkonformität wurde hart gedeckelt. Wer Kunst benutzt hat um die Partei oder den Staat zu kritisieren ist dafür in den Knast gekommen und wurde das Ziel von Zersetzungsmaßnahmen durch die Staatssicherheit.

Und die Sportförderung kam natürlich auch mit politischen Zwängen und einem systematischen Dopingregime, für das der Staat bis heute Opfern (ehemaligen Athleten) Entschädigungen zahlt.

Gemeinschaftsförderung ist auch so ne Sache. Wer nicht bei den Pionieren mitgemacht hat, durfte halt nicht studieren. Unabhängige (also nichtstaatliche) Gewerkschaften zu Gründen war verboten. Und die Existenz der Stasi deren bekanntes Ziel es war, "asoziale Elemente" (Leute die über Spitzbart, Bauch und Brille gelacht haben) zu finden und zu entfernen und die dafür massenweise Spitzel in der Bevölkerung benutzten war sicherlich auch nicht förderlich für ein nachbarschaftlichen Vertrauensverhältnis.

Another reason to use Logitech mice: ease of repair. Apart from skates covering the screws on the underside, Logitech does not use glue to keep it's mice together. And due to their popularity, replacement parts (including the battery btw) are widely available even for older models.

If every country did as great as the UK per capita we would be completely and irrevocably fucked.

What I would like instead is a browser that treats tabs more like virtual machines that you can roll back, suspend to disk and resume. Little package of data that get frozen in time and are externally searchable.

Maybe look at ArchiveBox. IIRC it has pretty much everything you ask for including an import from your browser history and bookmarks.

I'm not going to tell you that you're managing your information wrong. I would physically die if I had ever more than 20 tabs (my ADHD couldn't handle it).

But I think you might be using the wrong tool. A browser (like Firefox) is not really designed as an information manager. It's primary purpose is navigating and visualizing web pages. So when you talk about "a few megabytes of text and images" thats not what your browser sees. Your browser handles more than just the text and images. It also handles fetching and prefetching, a browser history for every tab, a JS context and much much more.

What you want is some kind of personalized archiving system that processes websites into machine processable (ie searchable) structures. Firefox is not that. Maybe data hoarder communities will have the answers you seek.

Good. Doesn't matter what he did. The government shouldn't kill its own citizens. Ever.

Yes. But the state still has to prove that what you did was a) a Nazi thing and b) that you either knew or should have known it was so.

So if you show the Hitler salute, you'll be arrested and fined. If you give a speech in which you suggest that immigrants need to learn "the liberating power of work" (referencing the Motto of Auschwitz "Arbeit macht Frei" "Work makes Free") that is totally fine.

I don't think that is an accurate reading of what he is expressing. Crate (his company) is a smallish indie studio that makes high quality games (in my opinion) and supports them long term with both paid DLCs and free updates.

He made that statement when talking about Embracer Group that was looking to buy Crate. When he told them "we are currently working on an RTS" they said "Why don't you make something multi platform and a different genre instead?" (i.e. a cashgrab) to which his reply was "you can't buy my company, fuck off".

RTS are inherently limited to PC. RTS are not popular as eSports anymore. His company is making one not because they want a short term profit, but because he thinks they could make a great one for a niche target group that will stay loyal for a long time (e.g. their 2016 game Grim Dawn just got a massive free content update and a new story DLC in February this year).

The first randomized, controlled clinical study to attempt to study this “reversal” protocol’s effectiveness came to an abrupt stop in 2019, after three participants landed in the hospital hemorrhaging blood.

The general horrificness of this aside. How do you recruit participants for a study like this? "Do you want to be pregnant but don't mind having an abortion? Would you like an abortion but don't mind if you actually get it reversed?"

Only 1 concurrent player per copy in the family library. So to play together you'd still have to both buy the game.
