Some weird, German communist, hello. He/him pronouns and all that. Obsessed with philosophy and history, secondarily obsessed with video games as a cultural medium. Also somewhat able to program.

In the same way biofuels are: Technically yes, but still not that great of an idea outside special applications. (One I could imagine would be someone wanting to live completely off grid using filtered frying oil in an old-but-ridiculously-sturdy diesel generator)
- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 2 days ago:
Yeah, remember that German philosopher? Immanuel Kant, whose last name is pronounced “cunt”? Who ended up kicking off the whole process of modern and ultimately postmodern philosophy? Who most likely had autism (non-judgemental) and some really weird habits (mostly non-judgemental, don’t hit your servants, dude) and ideas (somewhat non-judgemental, if you’ve never seen a person with darker skin in your life, don’t write about them).
It was all in the name!
Speaking of philosophers and licking cunts.

Wow, I guess they have now literally reached the earliest one they could do a live action remake of. Good to know that even while things have been heating up globally, the underlying current of absolute boredom in this dystopia is going strong.

What is this about? This?
Haven’t been on reddit and am notoriously often living under a rock when it comes to news outside my personal interests.

CW: Discussion of death, potential existential dread, potential sophistry by a weirdo
So, okay, the former sentence is something that always fascinated me, because I think it’s actually even more complicated. To make it easier to parse and write, consider all of the following with an added “I think” or “I believe” or smth. attached to each sentence: There is no “you” any more that could know or not know, the very core of subjectivity has vanished. “I will be dead”, for example, only exists as a meaningful sentence within language, and the logic of language in reality - there is no “I” that can be dead. I think that foundational contradiction is also at the core of why in psychoanalysis, the idea is, that the unconscious is incapable of forming a reference to your own death. (Related this, the Lacanian thesis, that the unconscious has the structure of language). The result is: Death does not mean a transition into “nothing”, as “nothing” is still “something” - at least as something like a semantic unit. Instead, it is the transition into “Less than Nothing”, where the logic of language which is at the core of our ability to fathom reality ceases to exist. The “you” referenced is only existent within references made by others, but any subjectivity that could “not know”, “not suffer”, “not exist” is gone.

Teslas are jampacked with cameras.
Which will show a masked figure of weirdly indeterminate height (possible wearing hidden plateau shoes) setting fire to it in the middle of the night, how curious 🤔

Oh, that is almost comforting to hear, because a clear profit motive that can be linked to the original messages would indeed be pointing towards scam instead of weird stalker. That being said, it sadly would not on its own completely do away with the theory.
- Comment on Nicole endgame 3 weeks ago:
The current most likely theory of the people that dove headfirst into this seems to be, that she was a small streamer on peertube and other platforms (hence the many different webcam images, too). Looking into the chat of the stream on her peertube account reveals at least one person, that had all their messages removed by her. The linked accounts on the most common spam messages feel more like doxxing attempts, too - with ones like this asking for money most likely being copycats, as in the original messages and linked communities, there was a suspicious lack of asking for money or trying to start contact for a romance/catfishing scam.
This would all point to some kind of crazy stalker trying to doxx this woman for whatever reason, in a pretty weird way. Maybe they hoped it would get us all riled up and hating on her? Maybe they thought by just seeing her, we’d react in some way? Maybe they just wanted the feeling of power to doxx and intimidate her, and no real plan beyond that?
Whatever it is, it really looks more like creepy shit than scam shit at this point, from what I have gathered in the community research that has been happening.

Makes sense, it’s most likely an ongoing arms race - I’m probably coasting under the radar a bit from running an instance with effectively only 3 people to target at the moment.

Some admins have been developing and sharing solutions, from regex filters to going down into the databases itself.
For my small instance and personally, I haven’t seen any new messages in a while now, after adding this regex to the slur filter mechanism:
(.*(\n)*Hi.*[nN]icole.*[fF]ediverse [cC]hick(.|\n)*)Sadly my brain is blanking which instance admins I should credit for that, but it was shared around somewhere.

While this is very funny, and definitely representative of a sort of ignorance/arrogance commonly found in ideologues - I recently learned that most people talking about the effect have, in fact, been Dunning-Krugering themselves.
Insightful video on the topic.
What most people expect the effect to look like:

- Comment on Having a baby? Use this one weird trick! 4 weeks 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 got 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.
