From what I gather from that and a couple other articles, the reasoning is either "this is a slogan for a terrorist organization" or a "that is a negation of Israel and therefore antisemitic hate crime".

germany wtf

I feel you, I've gone through similar problems but from the other side of the world. In case if you need advice:

Consider eastern europe. From what I know, you'll have 3 months-visa free, that's more than enough to find a job in a big city even without any kind of connections. All you need is moving expenses and a few months of rent, and you'll have a very good chances of getting into some kind of residency program (do research your options in advance)

The language barrier will be a thing, but english will get you into many doors if you choose a big city. You can work on your language afterwards.

You'll fail a lot, it will be very stressful, you will be outsider in the eyes of many, but trust me your chances are much bigger than some people I know that have done a similar thing and succeeded. And after you succeed (and you will, if you try and don't give up) the understanding that government's power over you is not absolute will stay with you forever.

All that said: I'm not saying you need to leave. I'm just saying that you can.

Do you have a source about that incident? Reminds me of a dude arrested in russia for holding a blank piece of paper.

Top-shelf rats

My hometown's cemetry had a tall memorial for a teenager with a character from Slayers, the gravestone painted with anime art and quotes.

I think about those parents sometimes, hope they are doing okay 💔

Its almost as if a single dimension is not big enough to describe the diversity of human political thought.

I hate so much that this has a 100% chance of becoming a norm. Narrator can make a mediocre book shine, or turn a good book into a fucking rollercoaster (Andy Serkis, anyone?)

AI? Not a great narrator. Its character voices are boring, intonations weird, pacing awful. I'd honestly rather get an amateur narrating it for fun, over a robot sounding like a knock-off Morgan Freeman.

“[Netflix] members pay as much attention to midroll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves,” Amy Reinhard, president of advertising at Netflix, said, per the publication.

Amy, I want you to be honest with me, are you an alien.

Because on planet Earth we do not, if fact, pay as much attention to the ads as to the things we're actually interested in. Famously our brains even produce this fascinating effect to spare us from the bullshit you're shoving into our eyeballs.

So is renewable energy, but if I start correcting people that they don't exist because the sun is finite, I will look like a pedant.

Because compared to the fossil fiels they are renewable, the same way Wikipedia is unbiased compared to foxnews.

(let me preach a little, I have to listen to my boss gushing about AI every meeting)

Compare AI tools: now vs 3 years ago. All those 2022 "Prompt engineer" courses are totally useless in 2025.

Extrapolate into the future and realize, that you're not losing anything valuable by not learning AI tools today. The whole point of them is they don't require any proficiency. It "just works".

Instead focus on what makes you a good developer: understanding how things work, which solution is good for what problem, centering your divs.

Ironically, pixels are best for de-googling (stock android that can be easily un- and re-locked)

Most MS controversial features go through "opt in -> opt out -> mandatory" pipeline examples are Telemetry, Windows Live account, Spotlight (ui ads), etc.
