After decades of a liberal and left senate, Berliners reelected CDU who bankrupted Berlin 25 years ago.


hehehe, this made me chuckle. 25 years of hard-core socialists running the show, and all of a sudden its the conservatives that ruined Berlin. that is rich. It's even funnier when considering the Länderfinanzausgleich (Equalization payments between federal states): Basically within those 25 years Berlin, under those financially savvy and responsible leftists, amassed 95 B € in payments from all other German Federal States.

The Berlin airport fiasco was absolutely on the left-wing government.

If it is no longer closed, it might proliferate just like Linux once it gathers a critical amount of users. :)


Hacked and defaced? Cyber security at a low point.


Have you not been paying attention? whitehouse.gov has been this way since the beginning of the term.


When it comes to urban design, I consider balcony solar panels to be less of a nuisance than cars on the streets.


Much better than a lot of "architecture", too.


Is Freedom of Speech only meant for US citizens?


No, next they'll be reviewing citizenships too in order to make sure you haven't said anything mean about Trump or Vance online. Oh sorry, to make sure you haven't said anything that goes against the fundamental values of the United States.


Ostracism was core of Athenian democracy, and yes it was politicized often.

No democracy for enemies of democracy.


It was reserved to highly ranked influential politicians, though. Also quite rare as far as we can tell.


They better be careful, saying something true online is less work than the renunciation process to demand the freedoms everyone else is born with.


You must dig deeper into US history. Citizenship was revoked or frozen en masse at certain period for different races. Actually the “free” USA only happened after world war 2 and it was probably because the US was becoming the super power.

This current administration wants to end interventionism which means the old US (100% white/all Protestant) might be coming back. If you are not in that category you must start planning accordingly.


It was also revoked for American women who married foreign citizens until the early 20th century - in fact, an awful lot of my parents' friends for some reason still assume that I lost mine and automatically became a German citizen when I married my husband.

Ha. Getting German citizenship has become easier, but it's still far from automatic, and at least the way things have been the past 100 years or so, I (native-born to native-born US citizens in the US, white) would have to jump through a lot of hoops to get rid of my US citizenship.


Yes the Germans are really strict with their nationality. One thing I cannot fathom is how the Germans kept honouring the citizenship given to SS collaborators from other countries after the war.

In Holland we've had some war criminals (Dutch collaborators) that leisurely lived out their lives in Germany because they received citizenship through SS membership as thanks for their war crimes. And Germany doesn't extradite its own citizens. Also they stalled local prosecution until the people in question were too old and frail to stand trial.

I really don't understand how the western world let them get away with doing that. Every SS-derived citizenship should have been instantly revoked in 1945, all wartime laws retracted and citizens with wartime crimes extradited.

Seriously, would love to have not had to spent 3 years backfilling paperwork, and paying $2000+CAD (after lawyer fees) to renounce.


So, this puts the Python runtime on Node.js' battle-proven libuv?


Very interesting. How do I view without X?


There's a Github link but there are no repos. How do I package this for my favourite Linux distro?


You can't, we don't support Linux, but someone here suggested Synfig as an alternative.


Alternatively, you might want to give KDE's Glaxnimate a try: https://glaxnimate.org/

I'd love a similar compositor for Wayland.


> L4S pulls this off by giving internet packets an indicator that lets them know if they’ve run into congestion or queueing along any of the hops in their trip between a user and whatever they’re connecting to.

Sounds a lot like ECN (RFC 3168) which was specified in 2001.


Apparently it relies on ECN, so that makes sense:

> It uses the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) protocol... Because ECN support is essential for L4S, senders use the ECN field as the protocol that allows the network to identify which packets are L4S and which are Classic.

> The IETF's Transport Area Working Group (TSVWG) has finalized experimental RFCs for Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput (L4S) and new Non-Queue-Building (NQB) per hop behavior. These documents describe a new architecture and protocol for deploying low latency networking.
