I think that’s a good way to watch these movies, actually. For no money of the world you won’t get me to watch them seriously, but maybe I’ll rematch them as a bad parody ;)
Ich habe meine Diagnose vor einem Jahr in Schwarzenberg bekommen. Es ist ein kleines Kaff tief in Sachsen, habe aber ein Jahr von Anfrage bis Diagnosestellung gebraucht. Außerdem ist es eine echt schöne Gegend zum Ausflug - falls Du noch nicht das Erzgebirge gesehen hast, ist das eine echt tolle Möglichkeit. Der Therapeut, der das anbietet, macht es auch schon seit einigen Jahren und hat es mit einem Verein kombiniert. Deshalb warme Empfehlung, da mal anzufragen!
Thank you - I’ll try it out again. I had exactly the same feeling about KDE5 - too fractured, too inconsistent, too many weird options. GNOME just was more polished in that regard. But your post makes me hopeful that KDE 6 fixes these things :)
Overall I’m just happy that Linux has multiple competing DEs which often inspire each other and give great new design ideas. As long as we have GNOME, KDE, Cinnamon, Budgie, Pantheon etc., I will be happy. I have learned lots of things in regards to my design preferences (and about quality of design in general), and I’m glad knowing that I can switch DEs anytime. RIP for Windows/Mac users who don’t have thus luxury.
Yayyyyy, we’ve done it!!!
Yayyy, we did it!! Never would’ve thought we got 512 upvotes :)
Let’s see if we hit 512 at some point - I’m rooting for ya!
Yes, exactly - it is the idea of “well, you can gain life experience and serve for the state”. However, it is (rightfully IMO) criticized as just a cheap way of gaining labor forces. I think that German culture is generally more connected with respecting authorities, rules etc., so this attitude of " you need to return something to the community who raised you up" is still prevalent.
Since 2011 the service was not enforced anymore (but not abolished - in German it’s called “ausgesetzt”), but now there is a debate again to reintroduce it in light of the war. I personally am highly skeptical of it, for the exact reasons you outlined. A year ago I have went through the process of refusing to serve in the military in a defense case. We have something here called Kriegsdienstverweigerung: you can refuse to be drafted and serve under arms if it is incompatible with your conscience. I am glad to have went through the process, but I wouldn’t have done so if I were younger; in fact, I probably would’ve been absolutely okay with serving in the military. So instead of training people to shoot, I advocate for providing opportunities for people to learn medicine and science and stuff and leave war to professional soldiers, who aren’t 18- or 19 year old enscripted boys. It is also widely known that lots of guys cheated their way out of serving (e.g. drinking a lot the evening prior, so they make a bad impression on the recruiting officer), so the system was weird anyways. So I think the current debate is between “Russia and China are a threat, we need to get ready to fight, let’s pump up our military production” and “War is no option, our infrastructure is in a state of disrepair, we need to invest into schools and hospitals instead of arms, and drafting teenagers can’t be the solution of the problem”.
I think we have a different view in Europe on it - Germany had a model of national military service until 2011 (with the option of civil service), the Nordic model includes military service etc. So it isn’t completely unimaginable - we just have a different view on the topic.
Let’s see how long we’ll keep it up!
Great idea by the way, OP :)

Is that the actor of Dwight? I’m really bad recognizing faces :/
It sounds absolutely and completely overpowered for a phone… … Well, what did I expect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That changes my perspective on them a lot. Well, another lesson taken - don’t jump too quickly onto conclusions.
I’m doing my part too!
yay, I love starship troopers references
Thank you - I appreciate your input. I’ll also share your comment with my partner, in case she hasn’t followed up this thread. I’ll think about your words.
Got it. Thank you for your comment - I honestly am grateful for it. It is good room for thought, and I’ll think on that and talk to my partner and therapist about this. I’m sure they’ll have additional thoughts on how to move forward.
I especially appreciate you telling me directly what you think. It helps me a lot.
Have a nice time!
Interesting! I didn’t know this existed, but I can align myself pretty well with this terminus. Thank you :)
Ubuntu actually. I hated Ubuntu for a long time, until there was a game which only ran on Ubuntu. And now, after installing it, I’m actually pretty impressed and like it a lot. Yaru is a very good-looking theme, and the customizations Ubuntu made to stock GNOME are actually pretty logical (like adding windows buttons). It has among the best documentation and package support in the whole Linux universe. I’m a guy who likes to tinker, but for whom it is more important that the PC runs well, and I haven’t encountered a single problem with Ubuntu yet - no kernel panic, no weird Bluetooth stuff, no apps which don’t run for some reason,…
Everything just works. And that makes me happy. So Ubuntu it is.
