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.

No, they don't have to. But brain rot rots brains... And people nowadays have to suffer through so much worse ('unalive', 'grape' or 'pdfiles' anyone) on social media that it definitely causes damage.

Greetings to all the other Maxwell and Pascal users...

nvidia-580xx-dkms (and similiar legacy drivers) is your new best friend. And given the next wave of rediculous price spikes probably for some time...

~~Just set the timezone environmental parameter accordingly. Librewolf might pretend to be in UTC but doesn't care if the time given by your system is wrong to get the correct time again.~~

Oh, they really fixed this.Didn't notice as Librewolf is only my backup.

And if you try often enough it maybe even be a working one...

And with "dependent" they mean, the US and Russia had the free capacities, so it was slightly cheaper use them... Already ten years ago Galileo satellites where launched by Ariane5 or Soyuz in parallel (where Ariane5 transported twice the amount in one launch as Soyuz, or as Falcon9 in later years for that matter...).

It's really sad how "dependence" has become a totally hollow term.
