Yeah, his videos and articles are usually insightful - but his thumbnails are often weirdly bad. For example: for the one about “Does Mozilla get USAID taxpayer money?” (Actually, not really), he unfortunately used the headlines of the article he was criticising, making it seem his video would argue the same point as the (false) article did.

Yeah, his videos and articles are usually insightful - but his thumbnails are often weirdly bad. In this case, I wonder if he thought the original article and his own stance towards it were somehow mor commonly known with people, or if it was an unfortunate attempt at clickbait.

Aw shit, here I go, this meme just reminded me, that me thinking “I’ll take a quick break from working on my mailserver integration stuff” was 6 hours ago.

Basically: Resident enfranchisement. It’s weird, when people born in our country and having lived here their whole life can’t vote outside of local elections. My own father, for example, had a Dutch background, and was never allowed to vote in federal elections until his death. (Neither he nor I even spoke/speak a single phrase of Dutch)

Yes, things have gotten somewhat better and easier with applications for citizenship, but that there are hurdles like that to begin with, is a bit… weird.

Don’t choose Germany, though, we (and a lot of nations, actually) still for some reason have citizenship-by-blood/heritage laws more or less straight out of the 19th century, not citizenship-by-birthplace laws.

Funnily enough, I had never gotten one on my old account which was >4 years old on .ml - but after I made this one on my own instance, in less than a day, I finally got one.

Hmm, I wonder if that value for the UK ~2005 is just a statistical artefact, or if something culturally happened to temporarily create more homophobia in the late 90s/early2000s.

(Same but less pronounced US ~2010, but that looks more definitely like an artefact to me)
