That's not an official travel warning. It's just a blogpost where the title contains "Travel warning"

It's an experts travel warning. Other experts travel warnings to Bavaria are for pregnant women, because they will have a hard time to find someone to deliver the baby. There's critical shortage.

Travel warnings can only be issued by a government agency. Same goes for travel alerts and advisories.

Calling this a travel warning is simply wrong.

Not just protests, violent protests. While I think the police’ action was overblown, I have little sympathy for violent politic groups (if it turns out to be correct).

I used to feel very much the same way about no sympathy for violent groups, but then I realise that some people feel (rightly or wrongly, is up for you to decide) that the democratic process does not or even cannot accomodate the kind of change they want to see - not because they see democracy as unable to acheive emancipatory goals, but because they see democracy as having been brought under the rule of capital and…

Cool. Do you feel the same about the folks in the Western US who now and then seize federal property, or elsewhere who hold menacing protests when somebody takes down a Confederate statue?

I'm not sure what events you're referring to regarding the Western US, but I was specifically referring to emancipatory (even in a symbolic way) radical politics, rather than reactionary protests that are mostly uncritical of the history they claim to represent.

FYI I made a small chrome extension to auto-redirect links like this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/demobile/poikbhnlb...

I looked at the source, and to be frank, it's awful:

  var newUrl = details.url.replace('.m.', '.').replace('/m.', '/').replace('/mobile.', '/');
This could easily break legitimate URLs.

I found this part the most disturbing: > While searching the premises of the board members in Augsburg, Jena, Dresden, and Berlin, the police – on their own accord –decided to extend the search to premises also used by members of the CCC: the OpenLab in Augsburg. Here the officers were confronted with hackers in their natural habitat: substances to clean and etch circuit boards as well as hair bleach. After interpret…

Apparently there was a chemical formula for an explosive on a whiteboard.

So claims the police. I don't know about you but I don't think the average police officer is going to be able to distinguish between any old chemistry and explosive chemistry.

I absolutely agree, I'm not a JS developer. One day I'll fix it...
