Thank you for explaining! I agree with OP, that does sound super annoying for the end user. Trademark law can go fuck itself though.

I think I don’t get you comment. Whom do you refer to with ‘They’? The French government is switching over to Visio, as per the article.

You might believe that the following facts are besides your point, but I still want to get this straight:

• Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic reached its peak in 1923
• the NSDAP (the nazi party) got only 2% of the vote in the 1928 elections
• Hitler rose to power in 1933, after getting over 40% of the vote.

Note that there were 4 national elections between 1930 and 1933. The Weimar Republic was about as stable politically as a house of cards on a trampoline.

It’s still true that part of the success of Hitler’s party was due to former non-voters losing fate in the established parties, especially in regards to economic policy, but it is not as direct of a connection as your comment makes it out to be.

Oh, sorry, I think we have a misunderstanding. Your news post is fine. It is the way you interact with others that made me just a bit sad.

I’ve got the impression that you have at some point decided to use a bit of your energy every day to make lemmy a worse place. Maybe this is even your outlook towards the world in general, I have no way to know. I just want to let you know that you are succeeding. :)
