    Mich verletzt die Grammatik in deinem Kommentar, löschst du den deswegen jetzt auch oder was?

    Ich kann verstehen, dass ein Begriff traumatisieren kann, aber die Lösung ist auch dafür nicht das Verbot des Begriffs aus der Öffentlichkeit sondern Therapie für den/die Betroffene/n.

    Die Zensur eines Wortes ist, meiner Meinung und Erfahrung nach, nichts weiter als hohle Symbolpolitik die keinerlei Einfluss auf die alltägliche Realität der Betroffenen hat. Rassisten werden bei “Verbot” eines Wortes sich entweder gar nicht daran halten, oder ein alternatives Wort finden, welchem sie dann die genau gleichen negativen Konnotationen auflegen wie dem ursprünglichen Wort (siehe die abwertende Verwendung von “colored” im Englischen, die effektiv das N-Wort fast vollumfänglich ersetzt hat). Im Resultat steht der Wortschatz also mit einem Wort weniger da, ohne den Rassismus effektiv bekämpft zu haben.

    Ich würde sogar soweit gehen zu sagen, dass viele die Zensur der Wörter fordern dies nur tun, um sich nicht mit wirklich tiefer gehend mit Rassismus beschäftigen zu müssen, sondern um bequem sagen zu können “Das Wort [xyz] wird nicht mehr verwendet, es gibt keinen Rassismus mehr”.





  • Forget other EU countries and laws, the German constitution guarantees private postal and remote communications for every citizen. It’s also why Germany has historically never (that I know of) voted in favor of this bullshit: it violates the Briefgeheimnis (article 10 of the German constitution)

    If they hadn’t rejected it the federal constitutional court in Karlsruhe would have sacked every single proposal on how to implement it, a process our current coalition is very familiar with from multiple attempts at trying to push preemptive collection of unencrypted data. They knew it wouldn’t pass here anyway and likely just waited on an opportune time to profit off the inevitable denial. Although I’ll give them that: some parts of the coalition were rather eager to meet the judges in Karlsruhe again anyway so it wasn’t a 100% guaranteed rejection either.






  • This isn’t going to affect Intel usage in the near future.

    True, it won’t significantly shift the downtrend Intel is experiencing but it’s one more reason why that downtrend exists. Corporations are already switching over to AMD’s EPYC for their server platforms and Intel is as entrenched as ever in the Laptop side of corporate business (which runs Windows anyway)

    Companies generally buy whatever is cheap and available

    Not quite true, they buy what makes them the most money for the cheapest price and due to that context Intel has been on the way out for a while now.

    Dell, HP, etc rarely offer AMD as an option.

    While there are a lot more systems available with an Intel chip saying they rarely offer AMD is stretching it a bit. Dell has listing for 51 Intel and 12 AMD laptop options, HP ~190 Intel and ~90 AMD, there is an imbalance there but if you are a corporate customer looking for something you will find an AMD alternative there. And in the server space Intel has been/is being gradually reduced to the second choice option with AMD EPYC being chosen for the premium products.

    And this is just ancillary Linux drivers, not a major make or break component.

    Might be ancillary to you and me but to a corporation this is a piece of liability they now would take on when buying new Intel CPUs for servers. Not by a lot but likely by enough to upsell them to the product using AMD instead.







  • It’s very clear though that a major driving force behind this absolute farce of a deal was the German CDU, our chancellor even congratulated on the deal before he noticed the extremely negative public sentiment against this deal. I worry that our current coalition has their heads stuck up too far in the clouds to fix or address any of the issues we currently have and act in the best long term interest of Germany and Europe, bowing down to Trump might be the “better” solution short term but it makes absolutely no sense for the long term. Especially with the tacked on military package, that’s just an incredibly obvious trap they fell for.



  • Isn’t part/most of this that Europe simply exported the carbon-intensive stuff abroad?

    Partially true however it is also worth pointing out that industry in the EU produces significantly fewer emissions than the same industries outside the EU. The costs that come with that are largely why industry is outsourcing elsewhere, there is no coordinated effort by some shadow council to export the carbon-intensive industries abroad, just not fully thought out economic policy (producing in the EU causes costs for emissions, importing doesn’t/is easier to fudge, the incentive created by this imbalance is easy to see).
