TLDR: Enel wanted to use Android Auto in a way there was no API for, today EU's Justice Court said Google is using an abusive dominant position on Android Auto. Enel's issue was solved in the meantime (Google created an API), but the court's decision is still useful: it said "A refusal by an undertaking in a dominant position to ensure that its platform is interoperable with an app of another undertaking, which thereby becomes more attractive, can be abusive". Now, it is time for someone (*hint!*) to try to use a 3rd party Operating System with their Android Auto car, and sue if there are no APIs to make it happen. I can see the interest of folks like e_mydata or @ubports in being able to connect their OS and devices to cars...

> The big established parties are all bad traitors. I blame them and their actions to help raise AfD. They just [don’t?] give a fuck about the ordinary people, they're only concerned about their private gain and power.

To a large degree, yes. But I think the media is also equally at fault. There was absolutely no reason to invite AfD people to *every* event and let them talk. This has been going on for over 10 years. When we give them a stage to spread their hate, are we really surprised that hate spreads … ?

I don’t know the answers to this desaster. I’m beginning to think that people literally just want an outlet for their frustration, nothing more. It’s not about what particular parties actually plan to do. At least I think this applies to people in their 30ies and 40ies.

@falsifian Neat, I got the principle, so mission accomplished. :-)

I have configured my vim to use a tab width of four. So, I noticed that especially https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2021/06/04/catalytic/reachability_with_stack.cc (but also partially the other C++ file) mixes tabs and spaces for indentation. :-)
@movq I didn't, so it's working fine. :-) I should rotate me as well.
Na, you're spot on, @movq! The result is an expected, terrible disaster. It just seems the absolute catastrophy is delayed for another four years.

Even though I'm the last one who wouldn't be glad about banning the nazis, I'm not a fan of banning parties in general. I believe that a healthy democracy has to withstand extremists. Whether it's still healthy is debatable. To me it appeared that the failed attempts to ban NPD in the past actually helped them gain more supporters.

The big established parties are all bad traitors. I blame them and their actions to help raise AfD. They just give a fuck about the ordinary people, they're only concerned about their private gain and power. I bet nothing will change, to the contrary, it will only get worse. The winners do have the chance to turn it for the better, but they just will not. No way, unfortunately.

But then, we must not forget that people are just dumb and stupid, too. Also, that won't change. AfD won't help these idiots either, but they still vote for them. I also don't understand how there is still so much support for the other big parties left. Education is important. Very important. But I have the impression that we're lacking it.

@bender @prologic The outcome was to be expected but it’s still pretty catastrophic. Here’s an overview:



East Germany is dominated by AfD. Bavaria is dominated by CSU (it’s always been that way, but this is still a conservative/right party). Black is CDU, the other conservative/right party.

The guy who’s probably going to be chancellor recently insulted the millions of people who did demonstrations for peace/anti-right. “Idiots”, “they’re nuts”, stuff like that. This was *before* the election. He already earned the nickname “Mini Trump”.

Both the right and the left got more votes this time, but the left only gained 3.87 percentage points while the right (CDU/CSU + AfD) gained 14.72:



The Green party lost, SPD (“mid-left”) lost massively (worst result in their history). FDP also lost. These three were the previous government.

This isn’t looking good at all, especially when you think about what’s going to happen in the next 4 years. What will CDU (the winner) do? Will they be able to “turn the ship around”? Highly unlikely. They are responsible for the current situation (in large parts). They will continue to do business as usual. They will do anything *but* help poor/ordinary people. This means that AfD will only get *stronger* over the next 4 years.

Our only hope would be to ban AfD altogether. So far, nobody but non-profit organizations is willing to do that (for unknown reasons).

I don’t even know if banning the AfD would help (but it’s probably our best/only option). AfD politicians are nothing but spiteful, hateful, angry, similar to Trump/MAGA. If you’ve seen these people talk and *still* vote for them, then you must be absolutely filled with rage and hatred. Very concerning.

Correct me if I’m wrong, @lyse, @arne, @johanbove.

@prologic they had elections, and conservatives won (the dreaded AfD didn't take majority, and most likely will not be forming coalition with the winning party). Not a perfect outcome (that never happens), but it could have been much worse, I think.

Maybe @lyse and/or @movq can expand.
@bender What happened?
Hmm, it seems it isn't super great, but it could have been worse.

@andros I believe you have just reproduced the bug... it looks like you've replayed to a twt but the hash is wrong. I can see the hash here from Jenny, but it doesn't look like it corresponds to any{twt,thing}. if you check it out on any yarn instance it won't look like a replay.

It's so interesting and mind-bending at the same time. Many concepts resemble classical computing, binary states, and logic gates.
How do particles can share shifts across space? Does it mean communication faster than light? I guess there would be no medium for that.

this is my first "post"
My hypothesis about that thing breaking my twts is that it might have something to do with the parenthesis surrounding the root twt hash in the replay twt-A when I replay to it with fork-twt-B; I imagine elisp interpreting those as a s-expression thus breaking the generation precess of hash (#twt-A) before prepending it to for-twt-B ... but then I'm too ignorant to figure out how to test my theory (heck I couldn't even recalculate the hashes myself correctly in bash xD). I'll keep trying tho.
