The living costs one is a bit silly since it’s measuring disposable income after necessary expenses, not rent vs income but the QoL one is completely fake

I realized that the only thing I want out of a smart home is a way to turn off the lights from bed and have the blinds open with the sunrise and it’s very possible to do both without the internet

Which is odd because cycling seems very time competitive with transit and driving in the dense inner parts of the city

Helsinki has a lot of cycling infrastructure and seemingly 0 cyclists

The German government being told for decades that they need long term goals and funding for the railway to keep up with demand and then now that it’s really bad they do goals but no funding

In sozialen Netzwerken und Medien kursiert das Gerücht, dass die ukrainischen Angriffe auf russische Rechenzentren die Aktivität rechter Social Bots minimiert hätte. Dafür gibt es bislang keine Belege. netzpolitik.org/2026/angriff...

Aus brennenden Rechenzentren in Russland wird kein Bot-Ausfall bei der AfD

I’ve written I think a fair and clear Trustpilot review, but I miss the days on Twitter where you could tag them and get a directly groveling apology

I don’t think the loading gauge is that much wider than NA but it feels much wider than Germany

This is a fascinating point because it is true that students perform better with teachers of their own gender, but that is a deeply interpersonal relationship while reading a book, well isn’t

The tram and district heating construction is pretty intense too. But I do like being somewhere that is just quiet and very pleasant it’s a nice change from China

It is rather boring but I like boring lol I find Finnish fascinating so I’m having fun with that but the English is making Berlin seem like a germanophone city. And it’s kinda funny how half assed bilingualism w Swedish is here lol

It’s too reflective but also in a way that makes it look cheap to my eye

Cooles Projekt, muss man sich unbedingt am großen Bildschrim und nicht nur am Handy anschauen. Spitzenzeit ist übrigens am Werktag um 7:35 Uhr: wenn alles nach Plan läuft, sind da gleichzeitig 1.080 Öffis (108 U-Bahn-Züge, 317 Straßenbahnen (inkl. Badner Bahn) und 601 Autobusse) in Wien unterwegs.

Screenshot, aus der Webseite des zitierten Postings. Es ist ein schwarzer Bildschirm mit einer Wien-Karte, auf der viele Punkte zu sehen sind. Jeder Punkt steht für ein öffentliches Verkehrsmittel, das an einem Werktag um 07:35 Uhr in Wien unterwegs ist. Es sind insgesamt 1.080 Fahrzeuge, also 1.080 Punkte.

I also happen to have a few Russian classmates and I rather like them and think they should be able to continue living in Germany and not have to go back to Russia a place they all hate

I really hope that any action to limit Russians continues to allow students visas as Normal. The EU has facilitated significant brain drain in Russia and limiting visas forces educated people to stay in Russia

Barbel Bas, the co-head of the SPD and Labour minister resigned today due to the death of her step daughter. As a result the SPD will be having internal elections for the whole of the party leadership around new years. Curious to see if new leadership can reverse the decline of the SPD
