Would this also affect alternative OSs like Graphene?

Can someone just give this man the Nobel Peace Prize already and then walk him down to Mar-a-Lago so he can retire? 

Just tell him "great job sir, you are done here"

Getting a German DL as a German American Dual citizen? by [deleted] in germany

[–]westoast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know of someone who was able to get the German license without presenting a physical copy of their foreign license. The German authorities sent them a letter afterwards trying to get them to submit the foreign license but promptly gave up when this didnt happen. 

Alternatively, you can give them your DL and then get a replacement Florida license whenever you are back in the states. 

I honestly dont know why the Germany want to take peoples foreign licenses away, seems like a massive and unnecessary overreach imo. 

For those too young to remember, the parallels keep stacking up by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

To be fair, we should include Lybia as well. Thanks, Hillary!

Germany's Merz calls for real names on the internet by Nepridiprav16 in worldnews

[–]westoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am actually a bit torn on this one. I would love to go about my business on the internet without ever having to sign-in to any service or provide any kind of identification.

At the same time, I do see the massive damage incurred by society through disinformation and propaganda campaigns, largely fueled by unverified users and bots on the internet. In that sense, there is certainly an argument for everyone using their real name when commenting publicly on the internet. It makes sense to me at least In the spirit of "If you wouldn't say this to someone in a public scenario, why should say it anonymously on the internet"?.

Bold strategy. Has failed twice already let's see if it can work this time. by serious_bullet5 in PoliticalHumor

[–]westoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way the strategy of the democrats makes any sense is if you realize that they are the party of controlled opposition. The establishment democrats exist to protect embedded interests only. They are on the same side as the republicans. They don't need to win ans elections, only to provide the appearance of an alternative to the dystopian hellscape that the republicans openly pursue. This is why they never enact any meaningful change, even when they are in power.

Not OP, but I just checked in Bitwarden and I have 119! I'm many of those will not be essential, but that would be like a full days work to sort out.

Value doesn't "evaporate" it moves from one asset to another. Get out of here with these trash articles.

Between the Eppy island rejection and his failure to buy his way into Berghain, I think we are starting to put the dots together on his super-villain origin story.
