Wir müssen die deutsche & europäische Abhängigkeit von US-Tech-Giganten wie PayPal, Palantir, Google, Microsoft & ChatGPT dringend reduzieren – besonders in kritischen Bereichen wie Zahlungen, Datenanalyse & KI.
Es wird Zeit für europäische Alternativen & digitale Souveränität.

There's a lot of fanfare over the fact that MTV has shuttered the last of its 24/7 music video channels, but this has been coming for a long time.
In fact, MTV began to move away from pure music video content as 1984!
Join me for a little walk through the slow demise of the music video!

Anytime some yahoo says, “all serious historians agree…” I want to say:
1. What is a “serious” historian?
2. Have you ever actually been in a room with more than one historian? We can’t even agree with how long the 19th century was.

You might as well ask: Do other countries have Conservatives?
Do other countries have this weird notion that you’re not a “real” representative of the nation if you live in an urban center? Like do the French say Parisians aren’t really French? Are you considered not a real German if you live in Berlin? Or is this mainly a weird American thing?

Didn‘t expect „Younger“ to have a recurring character that‘s an obvious George R.R. Martin parody (where parody means accurate portrayal to the point where I am surprised he hasn‘t sued for libel)
