Microsoft seems to be doing anything they can to get rid of Minecraft Java users having bought a Mojang license in the past. Either they are conspiring against their users, or they just don't care.
The dubious Mojang account migration. Their lack of support for kids who got their accounts phished recently. Migrating to Vulkan breaking old hardware.
Sad story, but it was to be expected MS bought Mojang.
As a EU citizen it is really frustrating to watch that they just can't stop themselves from introducing new regulation.
And we don't have non-hallucinating AI yet that can help businesses keep track of all this legislative diarrhea.
Maybe you are lucky you did not become a nuclear engineer. I've heard from a woman whose late father was one that he and his colleagues all died from cancer. They did not get to enjoy their retirement much.
So true, unfortunately.
I wonder why that is the case. Maybe the majority of voters (pensionists, state employees, ...) is just not affected by these problems (yet)?
I guess you're right. It's a pity that Elon Musk was incapable of aligning with the German Green movement. So many good things (e.g. large batteries on the German grid to buffer wind and sun) could have come out of that.
The Green party actually helped create the right circumstances to build the German Tesla factory quite fast. He was not exactly grateful later on, supporting their political opponents :-D But I guess their extreme wokeism did not help either.
I agree on the problem of the mainstream having trouble to fix the system that feeds their corruption. I just fear that electing proven traitors such as AfD (partially financed by Russia and China, supported by Russian bots, now bootlicking the US admin) and BSW (directly controlled from Moscow) will only make a tough situation worse.
Merkel dumped nuclear after Fukushima simply to improve her electoral calculus. As in everything she did, there were no long-term concerns. Yet to her defence it has to be stated that nuclear energy in Germany was just not economically feasible anymore at that time (when gas was still cheap, wind and sun cheaper, and burning coal was not yet frowned upon). Also, Germany had shut down their own uranium mining long ago.
France guarding the rest of Europe, that's funny! The connection had to be dropped because it did not have the capacity to supply Spain with enough power at that moment. And the connection is so small, because the French do not want competition from cheaper Spanish power generators.
The far right in Germany now calls themselves pacifists :-D
Nevertheless, I would feel much safer living in a EU that has serious nuclear deterrence capabilities.
You must have dreamed this. There is no blockade against Kaliningrad. Especially no sea blockade.
In fact, there is a EU treaty in place that ensures overland transport to Kaliningrad via Lithuania.
What in fact is in place is widespread GPS jamming done by the Russians from Kaliningrad, and that impacts ships sailing the baltic sea.
Who might be the first European head of state or similar they lift out? Ursula von der Leyen? :-D
Air defenses in the EU does not seem to be in the best shape, the way Russian drones seem to operate without trouble.
