  • From their terms of service:

    They (private repos) are also allowed for really small & personal stuff like your journal, config files, ideas or notes, but explicitly not as a personal cloud or media storage.

    I’d guess that most private git repositories are small enough to fall under this category (unless you track large non-text files in git). This also seems like a very reasonable policy, considering that they’re a non-profit and they want to focus on supporting open source projects.




  • Selbst bei einer Dividende von 2.500 Euro ändert sich für die untere Hälfte der Bevölkerung nichts am Vermögen. Arme Menschen würden das Geld der Simulation zufolge für bislang ungestillte Konsumbedürfnisse ausgeben, anstatt es zu sparen. Ihr Vermögen wüchse also nicht, der Wohlstand aber schon.

    Was ist denn das für ein Argument? Es geht ja nicht darum, dass alle Menschen am Ende möglichst viel Geld in ihrem Bankkonto anhäufen, sondern dass ihr Lebensstandard sich langfristig verbessert. Abgesehen von den (vermutlich nicht allzu vielen) Leuten, die um ein Unternehmen zu gründen oder eine extrem teure Ausbildung zu bezahlen viel Geld auf einmal brauchen, ist eine einmalige Geldspritze dafür ja vermutlich nicht das effektivste Mittel.





  • That really depends on how exactly the public broadcasting is funded. In Germany for example, this happens independently from other state expenses so there’s no way that the government can directly controll the press. For this reason, the press tends to be critical of all political parties, including the ones currently in government.


  • From Wikipedia:

    Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

    The only part that could vaguely be associated with capitalism (in a democratic country) is “militarism” and even then this is only the case if you mainly focus on the USA. The fact that fascist countries were running free-market economy is also not really a point since that was (and is) the case for a large part of the world.

    “subordination of personal interest” and “strong regimentation of […] the economy” is the opposite of prototypical uncontrolled capitalism. Saying that capitalism is fascism is just as stupid as saying that fascism and socialism are the same (“bUT it wAs cALLed naTIOnaL soCiaLIsm”). Using the word “fascism” for everything you don’t like just makes it lose all meaning.
