Do you wanna do a poll on the best linux desktop ? Or Wayland vs Xorg ?

Oh boy, let’s do it! I’ll start - Hanna Montana Linux feat. Wayland

Why does Lemmy development seem to be so slow? Is it that marxism-leninism just takes more time to sink in?

No, but I think what comes after Trump is way worse.

Out of the loop, why Canada? Are they even stronger in anti vaccination bullshit than the US?

Update: I will abandon my piefed account for the moment and switch back to Lemmy.

Both don’t make a lot of sense. Celsius would be 18.3°. Fahrenheit however would be too much for a lot of clothes. I have never in my life washed hotter than 60°C.

Why don’t you just accept you missed a joke and laugh with us

Mocking women because of what they wear and how sexually open they are is not the cool move you think it is. In fact it is pretty misogynic.

As there are not many useful answers here yet, let me try.

From 1933 on, the N…-Regime* required a so called “Aryan certificate” (Ariernachweis) from employees in the public sector. Who and what is Aryan is a debate by itself so I will leave this out, but Jews were a group that were explicitly excluded from that group.

So how would you get this certificate? You needed to proof this with the birth and/or marriage certificates of your ancestors, specifically those of your parent and your grand parents. In special cases you needed even more (like applying for SS/NSDAP), but in general that was it.

Now, the authority issuing these certificates are the Standesämter (Civil registration offices), but they did only issue then from 1876 in the areas on the right of the river Rhine and from about 1807/1815 in the left of the Rhine. This has to do with Napoleon, but that’s a story for another day. Now before the Standesamt, it was basically the protestant and catholic churches that recorded births/baptisms, marriages and deaths and they were required to do so by law. So the churches had to actively help with those certificates.

It was not always a clear line, as obviously, you cannot see if someone is a Jew (even if some very stupid people thought so back then). Also, if as a Jew, your great grand kids were baptized as Christians, they were officially of Aryan origin. So even if the Nazis talked a lot about race, it was more a decision based on religion.

But like I said, this was only required for people working in the public sector and education, but also doctors, lawyers, scientists etc. (which were a couple of millions as you can imagine).

From 1935, with the Nuremberg laws (also called Nuremberg Race laws), every German was required to get an Aryan certificate. However, in 1935 the life as a Jew In Germany was already very hard and complicated, these laws basically stripped them from their last rights that were left. The story is much, much longer and I really recommend you to read about it for example in Wikipedia, as it is excellently documented.

*or Nazi-Regime how I am calling it (because this is not some kind of Lord-Voldemort-Situation)

Edit: I forgot to answer your last question! No, not like ICE in the US. The circumstances are not comparable, and the Antisemitism In Germany was much more systematic and pseudoscientifically profound. Like there were whole disciplines of sciences researching why and which race was better than the other, which resulted from the race theories in the 19the century.

There are definitely parallels and I know Americans are suffering under the fascist regime that is developing at the moment. I am not an expert of US domestic politics, but if I see it correctly, the way ICE is conduction their hunt on humans is unlawful, while the German persecution of Jews was particularly promoted by the German judical system. However, I am not a historian and I guess there are others who are better able to compare these things. As a German, there is something what we call Uniqueness in the context of the Holocaust, which was always the total and absolute aim of the persecution of Jews.

If you are a white middle class male that miiiight be true. But I am not from the US, so I can’t be sure if it is true even for them.

What a crazy thing to say

Great, so I will get version 1.294.2774.2028.38.2 without change log even faster!

I don’t judge, I just don’t understand. At this level, you need way more skills to keep your Windows account local than installing Linux with their GUI wizard. I understand some people need Windows professionally for Photoshop, but I guess the large majority doesn’t. If you read this Windows user, now is the time. Trust me, you will experience a level of freedom and performance you would have never thought of.

I am usually not that guy, but honestly, why not just install Linux Mint at this point

I guess that’s exactly it, Play Services. Google outsourced more and more basic features into Play Services over the years. For example without Google Play Services you do not have

• access to the Play Store
• assisted GNSS via the cell network
• Push Notifications
• Maps engine
• Basic integrity / SafetyNet

…and other things. A device without Play Services / microG is basically useless for the majority of users.

So I guess Custom ROMs are not necessarily affected by this change by Google, but all devices running Android + Play Services will (99.99% of all devices). And it is questionable if it’s worth to develop for a very very small crowd of people, especially as custom ROMs are being in danger for years now. This move by google is by far not the first one against the open source community.

I remember all those news articles “Was this a Nazi salute? Can we be sure?” lmao

It would be nice if you add those texts because I ain’t looking them up. Or do I need to be a hardcore christian in order to understand this meme

Tbh, I think librera would be a way better choice. Don’t listen to this guy OP

I apologize! I will try to make the images more coherent. Let me try creating new images. If you want, I can add a Hakenkreuz on them!
