My "favourite" bit of boomer talk in that regard is: "But if it gets seriously cold, you'll freeze." Heat pumps work better with higher temperature differences, numbnut. Similarly with EVs. If low temperatures are such an issue, why do Norwegians almost exclusively buy electric?

Das ist so dumm. Einerseits jammern, man habe zu wenige Junge, die in die Sozialsysteme einzahlen und dann andererseits solche Forderungen stellen. Und das auch noch als Kanzler. (Die Anstalt hat übrigens in einer Sendung letztens schön dargestellt, dass es dank Migration aktuell eigentlich gar nicht so schlimm um die Rente steht wie vor einigen Jahren mal prognostiziert wurde).

The campaign ads in favor of cutting the budget are really unnerving. They play hard on "look how much money you would save", and use AI generated video clips, particularly of elderly and children. The last poll I saw predicted an uncertain outcome, so it doesn't seem unrealistic that the people will actually vote to cut the budget. And that makes me sick.

It's extremely unstable for some reason. Keeps rebooting in regular intervals. I got it because I wanted to the option to sideload apps from F-Droid. Al least that worked.

I was also looking for that. I couldn't find anything perfect and ended up with a Xiaomi Mi Box (Android TV). I wholeheartedly cannot recommend. What's the Nokia box?

It was really strange for me seeing how dirty and polluted British waters were when I lived there. In Switzerland floating down rivers is actually somewhat of a national sport. Many young (and old) people do it when it gets hot.

I fear the fight for water will be a defining political issue in one (or two) decades...

Maybe not what you want, but I'm running Nextcloud on a Raspberry Pi (4B to be precise). I would highly recommend that if you're looking for a cloud-like experience with auto-uploads etc. Plus you can host all your calendars and contacts via it too. Just make sure you're not running it from the SD card (use an external SSD), as I had some trouble with bricked SDs.
