Kinda funny how everyone immediatly jumps to "this was done by people trying to make us look bad". I mean its not impossible, but every good cause has a few dumb supporters. For now at least I dont see any reason to assume that this was a false flag or whatever.
America has always rejected fanaticism, especially since WWII. We are supposed to be E pluribus unum -- out of many, ONE. Now, the right wants America to be E unum pluribus -- out of ONE, many.
Is that just down to immigration though? To me it seems that it is in part also because of the common understanding of what "being white" means: racial descriptions often still come down to a sort of visual one-drop-rule. If somebody looks even a bit off-white, they are seen as black. Common example here would be Obama, who is mixed race, but universally seen as a black man, even though thats just half the truth. With such an understanding of what it means to be black or white, a lowering percentage of white people is inevitable, even without immigration.
Doubt thats the point. I mean, real libraries at this point also lend out e-books, and i dont think they have an upper limit. Probably more to do that libraries (or the cities that finance them) have deals with publishers, and IA doesnt.
Would you use Edge as your default browser on Windows 11 if Microsoft nags you with a 3D banner? Microsoft thinks you would. In a new experiment, which appears to be rolling out to Edge stable on Windows 11, Microsoft has turned on a banner that uses 3D graphics to promote the browser....
Kinda off topic, but since a lot of people are talking about gaming on linux: can you get DS4Windows to run on linux? Being able to utilise the touchpad of my DS5 controller as a mouse was a game-changer for me, and i dont want to give that up if I dont have to when i do the full switch to linux

Maybe dont comment on another countries politics if your analysis doesnt go deeper than "the party is called 'this' so I recon they stand for 'this'". The spd is a centrist party, everyone in germany knows that
"Far-right"? yeah im really curious about the scale you are using. What would you call the AfD if they said tomorrow that they will suppport palestine?
