There's a history of German public administrations using Linux and other open-source software. In particular, the City of Munich has pioneered this with their 2006-2019 LiMux [0] p…

I'd like to caution the reader that Lunduke is a notoriously biased source, having drifted off into right-wing (and particularly anti-trans) activism in recent years.

I've had the very same experience in Bavaria, even with Munich having a reputation as "million-sized village". (otoh said problem was even worse in Berlin and the Ruhr valley, when…

Over 180 million users in fantasy betting. Regular gambling has up to 370 million users during major tournaments. Truly harrowing numbers, considering India has about 1.1 billion a…

Might not be what you meant, but German uses the same word for "state (federal subdivision)" and "country", known as "Land". In contrast, "Staat" refers chiefly to the administrati…

Having had a regular Hibreak since last August, I would like to caution about the build quality: in those 8 months, the display adhesive is progressively getting off and I'm not su…

Reading these short self-descriptions makes me weirdly disappointed in my own life. You know, undergrad while living with parents while being a repressing queer while having crippl…

Having lived in Munich my entire life, I feel comfortable characterizing it as somewhere inbetween Zurich and Vienna. Transit is amazing in all three cities, the Alps are nearby in…

The main upside Isabelle has over other proof assistants is the existence of Sledgehammer: invoke it, and your current proof state gets handed off to a SMT solver like cvc4, veriT,…

An approach I've had to EU elections is that tiny, single-seat parties often do invaluable opposition work through parliamentary requests and access to internal documents. It's why…

It's still quite commonplace in Germany in 2024. Typically, they claim around 1000€ in said letters, and refusing will have the case go to court, which usually rules in favor of sa…

y'know, the GDPR has known a Right To Be Forgotten since 2018, and yet in Discord there's no way to delete your messages in bulk (instead they're being pseudonymized upon account d…

Madoka is heavily inspired by Goethe's Faust [0]! Walpurgisnacht is a (rather irrelevant) scene in the latter, iirc one episode had random quotes on the wall, and the thematic simi…
