the speed limit is very obviously around 10 mph too low for the road’s engineering and surrounding environment

How does that work? Like, even on the broadest highway I could drive 5 mph without my car or the highway taking damage from it?!

Along with unpausable cutscenes. My kid will cry exactly during your 10 minute cutscene, and I want to know the story.

The poll did not ask specifically for self-hosted instances. You know you can buy hosted Nextclouds where the service provider hopefully cares for that stuff? So customers wouldn’t know which database they use. I don’t know which database my mail provider uses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, for something like the Wirtschaftswunder, it is really hard to pinpoint a single “reason”, but arguably the Lastenausgleichsgesetz played a huge role. It was a massive redistribution of wealth (nowadays shunned as a so-called “social benefit program”, funnily enough it was specifically to subsidize refugees). With that, a wealth tax and crazy high income tax and higher business taxation, the government spending ratio went through the roof. Add to that, that poor people (read: the refugees from the Eastern areas) could (and needed to, as they lost everything) consume a lot more, et voila, Wirtschaftswunder. Easy recipe, which could just be repeated today. When the wealth would be moving again, the economy would explode again. But, alas, the majority does not have the money to consume, and the wealthy hoard the wealth instead of consuming. If we only could change that somehow.

Not long before we see a lot of art that is created manually to look like AI slop, where they intentionally do that stuff.

I am going to MOMAs all over to laugh at the stupid shit some artists pull off. Laughed my ass off at the taped banana. I am not even interested in what the artist thinks or means. I am entertained, that is what I expect of art.

Like in London, there was this big-ass room dedicated to a giant chair and I giant table, you could walk under. Heated, in the middle of a freezing winter. Like, the homeless were freezing out on the streets, and here we are as a society, heating a room for a chair and a table nobody could use. Just take in the absurdity, and you have to laugh at this shit to compensate and stay sane.

Did that three times, got three times “random” checked, returned my customer card and buy in another store now. Solid 5/7, perfect experience 😅

Family is happy with Matrix (Synapse) and Element as clients. Have members with iOS and Android, smooth experience for all users. But, to be fair, I do have easy users: they basically just send texts, emojis and an occasional picture.

I did not like the admin side of things too much so far, but I recently migrated to a Docker setup, which seems easier to maintain.
