Ooops

The new law got introduced in August 2021 and offers a ten-year period to provide your documentation.

Not surprisingly for DNS4EU as that behavior was exactly what everyone was expecting when that service was announced...

Fortunately there are several free and uncensored alternatives available in Europe. Bonus point: Take the 3 extra minutes and finally set up properly encrypted DoT or DoH (DNS over TLS/HTTPS)...

PS/Edit - As a starting point: digitale-gesellschaft.ch (Switzerland), digitalcourage.de (Germany), uncensoreddns.org (Denmark) are the ones my home network queries at the moment...

PPS: DNS4EU has an explicitly unfiltered one, also DoT-compatible: unfiltered.joindns4.eu (86.54.11.100) that resolves those archive links for me

But just like in Germany in the 1930s or with the US' GOP more recently conservatives will always protect far-right lunatics as allegedly useful tools. Up the the point when they get eaten up by these radicals and then all neatly fall in line.

No, this coding just is actualy complex and low quality pictures don't show enough

Media 101 nowadays: It's not only newsworthy but in fact every single time our lord and savior Trump and his loyal consorts vomit up the next pile of vile shit it magically redefines reality.

None.

I use Signal for messaging. In fact I only use it on mobile devices for short stuff.

Any discussion that takes more time than typing s few short sentences (but is usually also less time-sensitive) I do on the desktop app already.

So Signal is definitely not the right platform for me to talk about hobbbies or other interests. That's not what it was originally designed for. And that's not what I will ever use Signal for even if it can nowadays cover that area somewhat.

As a citizen born in Germany how would I know?

But it is not actually that complicated:

Before 1975 the child of a German mother maried to a another nationality would not get German citizenship but just the one from the father. But the child of a German father would.

Before 1993 the child of a German father born out of wedlock would not get the German citizenship but the mother's.

Up until... I don't even remember when... German women marrying a foreigner and getting his citizenship that way, would lose the German one.

The modern German law considers these cases discrimanatory. So if you lost or did not gain German citizenship because of one of those cases (or are the descendent of some one fitting it), you can get that German citizenship restored just by providing documentation of your/your ancestor's loss of citizenship or of your (grand-)parent's citizenship that wasn't transfered to their child.

It's free of charge, doesn't come with any other requirements and every consulate/embassy will be able to help you.

The only caveat is that there is a limited timeframe of 10 years, starting with the new law in August 2021. So you have until August 2031 to provide the neccessary paperwork.

Because in a democracy that owner has not actually many votes. Unlike all the employees who -given results in Kentucky- probably majorily voted for Trump and are now losing their jobs because of it.

Sadly no, as a lot of Western countries' right-wing populists are copying Trump 1:1.

So in reality most of the western world if throwing away their economic future because power-hungry people have learned how manipulate the moronic masses.

Yes, that is the actual whole concept of deterrence and common defense pacts. You cannot in fact stop anybody from attacking you, but you can give them a good reason not to.

So countries will in fact ignore useless provocations by morons trying to show their dumbed-down citizens how strong they are allegedly. If they actually want to attack, they can try and suffer the consequences.

There is an actual reason Russia is loudly crying about being at war with NATO and how they will conquer all of Europe yet will not dare to do more than performing a big show of rediculous screaming and posturing.

Reminder for those not-that-small numbers of (more recent) German origin.

You still have until 19 August 2031 to get your German citizenship without much hassle if you (or more realistically your ancestor) lost it because of rules retroactively changed since then. (Typical example: not getting your citizenship from your German mother in wedlock because you already got another one through your father...) Basically all you have to do is provide documentation of the original citizenship.

Details here for example.

Realistically older generations didn't get new stuff in updated drivers for quite some time anyway, so yeah... Doesn't matter much.

Honestly, if I had a newer card I would be more concerned about that general shift to open source drivers at the moment as they are still far from comparable performance-wise.
