Many attributed gains for the AfD with people voting out of protest. I think that explanation does not cut it anymore.

Over 30% of two German federal states voted far right out of conviction. You can no longer claim this is just protest. Wish I could say where it all went wrong, why a big chunk of east Germany rejects democracy and embraces this.

Dark days ahead for our democracy.

EDIT: the results in Saxony had to be corrected, robbing the AfD of the blocking minority size in parliament. Probably seeing a „they stole the vote“ form soon on social media.

Said the commission that wanted (and probably still wants) to force applications to break their encryption for „law and order“…?

That win is important, but Sony already sued Quad9 in Italy just this week. It’s one battle won, but not the war.

In Italy they demand the same, blocking certain sites used for torrenting.

Documentation, for personal reference. Stuff I rather not reinvent down the line.

Could set up a wiki, but I like the flexible nature of Obsidian.
