lots of good advice here. I just want to restate: do yourself a favor and migrate your HDDs over to any solid state drive. Whether that means "classic" SSDs with a SATA-Port or M.2s is your prerogative, but in either case you'll start wondering how you could ever stand that s pinning noise and the vibrations and the slow, slow data transfer.

I clap really loudly. I cup the fingers off my right hand and bang them into the palm of my left hand. Sometimes people are annoyed by my choosing because it's so loud. But we're clapping? It's supposed to be loud?
Lemmy's bot problem is so much worse than Reddit's.
I likę brewing Beer. Fuggle is a strain of hops.
I mean, you're going back a to true/false dichotomy.
How did you jump from a discussion about opposing perspectives on a single, unknowable truth to "one must be right and everything else a lie"?
Very much this. I was an exchange student in the US in 2005 and my US history teacher (yes, their history classes are commonly split between us and "rest of the world") exclusively worked with excerpts from Zinn.
I understood once I leafed through the official textbook. It was about as bad as you can imagine.
So yes, Zinn is far from "objective" or "neutral". It's a deliberate choice because
a) it's supposed to counterbalance the terribly whitewashed school books and b) there's a case to be made that no text, not even scientific ones, is ever truly objective or neutral because reality is a construct.
The latter is a more philosophical debate, but nonetheless an important one. Since there is no single objective truth, you'll usually dare better by considering varying interpretations of "truth" before making your mind up.
In other words: you'll never get the full picture, but if you assemble enough puzzle pieces you increase your chances of understanding the bigger picture, and, more importantly, you'll gain a sense for when somebody is just off their rocker.
I can't help but feel like your sampling might be skewed.
Vollautomaten (I. E. Fully automated coffee machines that brew espressos and cappuccinos etc) tend to make worse coffee, I agree. That's why I don't use the one in the office.
Having an experienced barista grind you an exactly measured dose fresh for your coffee at a good Café is quite nice, on the other hand.
But that's nothing to do with Germany or Australia.
If you'd read the linked sources, you'd know that it's not just speculation. Regardless of Telegram's user base, it cooperates with Russian authorities. That remains true whether or not Ukranians use it to communicate. I'm not blaming Telegram for cooperating with Russian authorities as it's well known that not doing so leads to drastic authoritarian measures.
But don't take my word for it: Wikipedia: Blocking of Telegram in Russia
Sure, WhatsApp exposes you to US jurisdiction and Meta bullshit. At the same time, Telegram is very friendly with the Kremlin and associated intelligence services. So it basically comes down to whether you want to be spied on by Russian or US entities.
