A software developer and Linux nerd, living in Germany. I’m usually a chill dude but my online persona doesn’t always reflect my true personality. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I usually try to be nice and give good advice, though.
I’m into Free Software, selfhosting, microcontrollers and electronics, freedom, privacy and the usual stuff. And a few select other random things, too.
I don’t think those municipality officials speak for Germany as a whole. I’ve discussed this on a different platform with some strange people… Generally speaking, we’re fine. I’ve been to protests and they generally work out fine. Most protests for Palestine, too. Sometimes the police or government overstep. I think especially governments are well known for making mistakes. That’s what we have a justice system and separation of powers for.
Maybe also consider bribery convictions and we might get rid of a few CDU/CSU politicians as well 🙃
Huh, we’re talking about Germany here. Probably needs several forms, a fax machine …
Well, Germany has a bit of a special relationship with Jews and Israel, since we killed a few million Jews some 80 years ago. There are special laws in place since after WW2. Spreading misinformation or hate speech concerning that will get you in a lot more trouble than in other countries. I mean other countries also shifted lately. I heard in the USA, the current government loves to take protests including for Palestine as an opportunity to oppress people. I’m not sure if Germany shifted or anything. This has always been a delicate topic. Usually, these protests have been handled kinda okay. With a few bad exceptions. Like when a protest turns violent, which this one seems to have.
I believe technically it’s not a deportation. Their stay has been terminated and at this point they’ve just been asked to leave, not taken into prison. That seems to be an administrative act only. So no process before a judge/court. Objecting to that is the correct first step. The whole act smells like it’s unlawful.
Not sure if that will happen. Usually you have to commit pretty serious crimes to be deported as a EU citizen. What this article leaves out… Other sources accuse these protesters of being masked and storming the university with clubs and axes, intimidating staff and destroying property. I’m not sure what happened, I wasn’t there. Depending on how overexaggerated that axe thing is, it could warrant a deportation. Wearing an illegal t-shirt or insulting someone should not be a reason to get someone deported who lives and works here for some time already. But the justice system is now going to handle it.
I think Nobara is the other most(?) popular choice by gamers.
I don’t have much experience with gaming distros. I just think whatever it is, a computer shouldn’t bee too locked down for a kid so they can also install other things, try other tools like an office suite, video editing or content creator stuff and maybe even have the experience of messing up. Within limits of course.
There are no tags as of now. Everyone is running the main branch from Git. I suppose that’s going to change at some point when PieFed deems itself ready.
