Fick die bayern
Bye everyone I’m getting uploaded to the cloud apparently
Tschuss!
Bayern, des samma mia! Jawoi!

:(Bavaria has rarely shown smart political decisions in the last decades.
Kind of just did the worst move possible at every point since Bismarck showed up with a fun idea
Of course Bavaria. Everyone one else in Europe is thinking about moving away from US companies but Bavaria is killing of OSS initatives to move to the MS cloud…
- Bavaria is also opposing the ban of combustion engines by 2035
- Bavaria was leading the abolishment of naming of meat like products like “vegan sausage” or “vegan burger”
- Bavaria is openly opposing renewable energy efforts
- Bavaria gives a shit about climate protecting iniatives
- Bavaria is repressing political left and ecological groups
Bavaria gives a shit about climate protecting iniatives
“giving a shit” means “caring about”, I think you meant the opposite
Yeah in German, the phrase (einen Scheiß geben) means the opposite.
“drauf” fehlt noch :-)
Bavaria, the Texas of Europe
It really is. Nürnberg, München and Starnberger See are lovely though. Possibly other places too. But there’s simply too much old money trying to cling to the status quo and not let go.
One would think that the former GDR would be doing this instead.
Now let’s please explain how that thought entered you mind and you then thought it plausible enough to state it publicly?
Well, it’s obvious from your condescending and insulting tone that you’re completely right and I’m completely wrong, so there’s no use pretending that it would be in any way valuable for me to present an ‘explanation’.
fair, I shouldn’t have used that tone. Sorry for that.
Their tone might have been a bit sarcastic, but was neither condescending nor insulting.
I for one would like to know why GDR would be more likely than other parts of Germany to adopt these policies.
Reminder: Microsoft relocated their headquarters to Munich after they scored the win to abandon LiMux, the first OSS project in a big city. This is just the return on investment. Works very well in a state that doesn’t care for high level corruption.
Edit: Bavaria also meddled with the decision to adopt Open Document Text as defacto standard in Germany. My memory is a little bit blurry on this and internet search for older articles is just…non-existent anymore.
Anyway, that decision was reversed .
Edit 2: There might be something else going on in the background as well. Lidl/Schwarz and SAP are going heavy on the “German Cloud”. They are both from Baden-Württemberg, another power-player in the south. This almost looks like a standoff.
Not only to Munich, but LITERALLY! around the corner of the CSU headquarters: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=48.1780765%2C11.5938809%3B48.177162%2C11.5908394#map=19%2F48.177770%2F11.592011
Microsoft relocated their headquarters to Munich after they scored the win to abandon LiMux
Yes, but irrelevant here. Their former HQ in Germany was just outside Munich in Unterschleißheim, well within Bavaria.
Lobbyists.
That’s the USA terminology, in Europe it is called corruption.
You would think so. But in Germany they are also called lobbyists.
Well yes because lobbying is an actual part of getting the message out to representatives. You’re advocating for them to do something. In itself there’s nothing wrong with lobbying but people just always associate it with quod pro quo corruption shit.
Well, they are often involved or are around such deals, but the difference is that in USA the quid pro quo is perfectly legal & money can be exchanged openly (which is still corruption, but not legally so).
And no one gives a fuck about it! How can this obvious corruption be tolerated?
- it’s systemic. There’s no representative democracy without some degree of corruption.
- People are alienated from politics: they think that it’s the politician’s job to do politics and disengage (until they feel they get screwed over)
But we have been getting screwed over from day 1
Exactly.
So the only viable strategy (for system that’s screwing us over) is to make the people believe that “there is no alternative” to neoliberalism.
The amount of hate i have for Söder could power a little village
Just not a Bavarian village. Renewable energy is too woke.
Most have them
This seems unwise.
Söder is not wise
Einstein’s quote about infinite stupidity comes to mind…
The stupid ones are the people who keep voting for this party, though. Have a Hitler quote for that: “How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think.” (apparently meant without sarcasm)
The politicians are just self-serving assholes.
Tell me
Ty
Of course Bavaria would.
Like you know that the kid surely will hit the only lamp post on the whole parking ground while learning to ride the bicycle you know what happens when Markus Söder is in charge.
Germany should just abandon that state (and Saxony where all the Nazis are). Together, they are the bane of Germany. One holding it back and the other wanting to make Putin their savior.
Divide Germany you say? I feel like that’s been done before
I guess that explains why there was a dude wearing a literal fucking Hitler mask at sachsonring this year…

A high enough wall surrounding those two states, maybe including Thuringia (Nazis) and Saxony-Anhalt (also Nazis) would be a good first step…
Some of us still have relatives there who are not Nazis.
They have time to get out.
I rather move the Nazis to Saxony.
We could send all the Nazis to their own island.
If you were a criminal convicted of espionage, then good luck to you for finding a job, especially in government. But if you’re called Microsoft, then it’s alright.
