This is a canary resuscitator, which miners would use to revive canaries that had passed out from toxic gas, because ideally not only do you care, you don't even leave the bird behind. just a little mining history and not at all a furious scream

Tag 2 nach der Wahl. Berlin ist nicht wiederzuerkennen. Über Dahlem liegt das dumpfe Schluchzen der Eigentümer. Im Westen stauen sich SUVs mit hastig verladenem kulturellem Kapital. Erste Augenzeugen berichten von bezahlbarem Wohnraum. Wie konnte man es nur so weit kommen lassen? Ein Lagebericht.

Wie panisch in Teilen der Presse auf den Wahlsieg der Linke reagiert wird, vermisst man seit Jahren in Bezug auf die rechtsextreme AfD. Aber ich nehme an, die Linke ist halt gefährlich für die Eigentümer von Axel-Springer, die AfD nur für die Demokratie.

Es sind traurige Zeiten, wenn es ein seltenes Feature von Software ist, dass keine "AI" rein gepfuscht wurde. Danke LibreOffice für die klaren Worte! 😍 blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/08...
Text-Screenshot:

"No artificial intelligence

LibreOffice 26.8 contains no generative AI features. Documents are not transmitted to remote services for processing, and no component of the suite requires network access to function. This is a deliberate position. Any organisation handling confidential, legally privileged or personal data needs to know where that data goes, and the only assurance that survives an audit is that it does not leave the machine."
