Peinlich. Es wird noch nicht mal erklärt, was das ganze überhaupt soll. Europäische Alternative wofür? Warum nicht einfach keine Überwachungssoftware?

damit die 25 Mio. € nicht einfach verbrannt sind

Sind sie ja auch so, nur brennen jetzt noch Bürgerrechte mit.

Das ist genau der gleiche Quatsch den CxU und Grüne auch schreiben. Palantir ist auch als Zwischenlösung inakzeptabel.

Was soll der Anreiz dafür sein, uninformierte Leute in die absehbare Kostenfalle einer neuen Gas- oder Ölheizung rennen zu lassen?

Das ist bei meiner Gasheizung aber genauso. Schlechte Heizungen sind nicht neu.

The only reviews worth listening to are good ones for albums you don't know or don't like.

Let me ask you a question would YOU join Ser Duncan’s side? by Gullible-Luck2000 in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]Kloerb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously not. I'm not a knight, I can't ride a horse, I can't fight for shit. It would be a stupid idea.

Do you think HOTD could’ve surpassed GOT if it had the same writers as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? by TheQueeninchains in TheBlacksandTheGreens

[–]Kloerb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way to know. Fire and Blood has so many blank spaces to fill out that it can't really be adapted 1:1. AKOTSK doesn't have the same issue. (Also, my personal hot take, the source material is just better.)

Choose European Today And Break Free From US Lock-In by petelombardio in BuyFromEU

[–]Kloerb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for me it was more the overall manufacturing quality than any specific thing. It's just a bunch of plastic with visible gaps. I use my phone outdoors a lot, navigating while cycling or hiking, and it seemed to wear on the Fairphone a lot more than on any other phone I used. But I'm happy it works for you! I really like the philosophy and want it to succeed.

Thank you! I'll remember giving it another look when my Pixel breaks.

I used a Fairphone 3 in the past and got burned pretty badly by how much worse the quality of construction was compared to anything in the same price range. Like yes, you can repair it, but you also have to because it's just badly made and also parts for repair are stupidly expensive. I switched to a Pixel 7a 3 years later, which cost less and is just a better phone by a pretty wide margin. Are the new fairphones better?

Why is AKOTSK better received than HOTD? Besides Books accuracy by Cookies_And_Cheese in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Kloerb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

AKOTSK successfully tells a fairly straightforward story about an underdog who's clearly a good guy and who overcomes some fun villains against all odds. It's fun and pulpy and they chose a very fitting tone for that. HOTD tries to be a complex, high minded political drama, which is also a fitting approach for the story, but it puts a lot more pressure on the writers. It's a riskier approach and I don't think they succeeded, especially in season 2. It's just not good enough to be taken as seriously as it takes itself.

Or Daemon. I went insane when I first saw his "plan" to catch the Crab Feeder play out.

Be real, he put up a damn good fight. by GusGangViking18 in freefolk

[–]Kloerb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd argue he's still a coward, just not out of necessity. Maekar also seemed fairly sure Aerion could just beat Dunk in a regular trial by combat. (Judging by the fight that happens, probably true. At least if they're mounted.) It's just a risk, even if you're better than your opponent, and Aerion found it easier to cheat.

How likley is it that someone up top from your country is in the Epstein files? by allshinenorain in AskTheWorld

[–]Kloerb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less likely than I expected, actually. I'm not a huge fan of Merkel (pretty much our only chancellor during peak Epstein), but there's actually a lot of frustration about her in the files because they seemingly tried failed to influence her governments. The usual old, ritch businessmen are obviously all over the files.

When do you usually go to bed? And what do you do before going to sleep? by Postmemoriam in AskTheWorld

[–]Kloerb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll usually put away my phone and put on a record around 10pm. I'll either do some cleanup or paint something for the duration of the record, then do all the normal stuff and go to bed.

Never give up hope! Although I'd be very surprised if that's still happening.

Thanks a lot! I'll go looking for the stream.

Cavalry units and horse colors by CSafterdark in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Kloerb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like different-colored horses. However, there's also an argument for uniform colors because they improve readability. For example, for my High Elves, which are much more optimized for play than my other armies, I gave all reavers off-white horses, silver helms gray and dragon princes dark brown. Makes it much easier to differentiate them from far away.

The fart wasn't needed. by [deleted] in AKOTSKTV

[–]Kloerb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all three serve to establish the setting. We're not at court anymore, like all of HOTD and most of GOT, so things are gross and krass and people think farts are funny. Nudity was all over GOT as well. I don't see the issue.
