north germany is doing the same.

anyone remember limux? bill gates attacked german democracy bribing munich to drop limux in favor if windows in exchange for 8000 jobs.

fuck the windows user too though.

The funny thing about that story, and the outset that no one covered after the fact, is that Munich reversed direction again and ultimately did go with Linux and open source stacks.

not really true. so 20(!!!) years later they as the last of the states woke up.

bavaria is pathetic. "LANGSAM" is their word for being backwards and ultra-conservative. i mean Freie Wähler? Aiwanger? What a shit place. And it is just SAD that they just NOW started to civilize. worst of the west.

Munich is governed by Social Democrats. Don't mix it up with the Bavarian state government

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago

it is a fig. bavaria does not know what democracy is. from what i remember there has yet only been 1 party ruling whole legislatures simce WW2 and that is CSU. dont mix up the free world and bavaria!
