The reasoning is that few immigrants - just like in the local population - will be committing criminal acts. I don’t think the crime statistics show that there are no criminal acts committed by immigrants as well. But maybe I have misunderstood you. What exactly is your point?

Thank you for blocking, fragile person. Be proxy-offended somewhere else.

That’s not about BitWarden or 1Password. That was about the password storage system integrated into Waterfox. And no, they are locally stored and relatively safe. I have used that system for 20+ years and I have never had any of my account data stolen.

And I do actually keep them separately and on paper. Laught about it if you want to, but it’s easy and most reliable. I’ve had pc’s die on me, so I’m happy to have it that way.

Why would you trust companies like BitWarden or 1Password? It’s the same as with EncroChat or similar services. Agencies start up a company that promises to protect your sensitive data. Then you give them your sensitive data. But they put a backdoor into their programs. So now they have all your sensitive data. I don’t know who is behind those companies so I don’t trust them. With Mozilla, that’s just an old habit and nothing of essence is in there.

I have a different way to do it, but I’m not going to disclose it here. Just saying that in the last 25 years, not a single one of my accounts got hacked by my fault. I had 1 Ubisoft account hacked, but that was because their servers got hacked and the password was stolen from there.

Well, the minimum of main culture aspects being supporting the democracy, a certain amount of tolerance for others with different opinion and looks, rule of law. “well integrated subculture” meaning people joining an already exisiting main culture in different ways, like immigrants and not being openly hostile to people with other opinions or looks who stem from other subcultures/backgrounds without proper reason. An indication of a failed integration are parallel societies within one country.

Yes, I would agree with you that polite, nonviolent and maybe even friendly interaction is positive. The main culture aspect or fundamental understanding of the US society is problematic these days. One could even argue whether it’s still exists. However, since there are many people who fight for it, you could at least argue that the idea still exists.

“we would be far poorer without the contributions from other cultures” Very much debatable. There are so many positive AND negative aspects of it. People from the ends of the political spectrum see it in a contrasting manner. Pro-immigration people will biased towards positivity á la “enrichment” while contra-immigration people will be biased towards negativity á la “criminals and rapists”. The truth is somewhere in between - both things can be true at the same time, often depending on the individuals and group dynamics. It’s complex.

The part about the food is very much true. The same thing is true for Turkish and Middle-Eastern food here in Germany and I very much enjoy it. An argument against it would be illegal immigration, human and drug trafficking, narco organizations, wage competition, wages without taxation and so on. On the other hand, you have great workers who value education for their kids, have good food, are sometimes lovely people, support the wobbly demographics and so on. I think we can all agree that your president and ICE are not a good solution for any of this though. It was never meant to be one.

I know they’re satirizing it. But that was the point, they’re still singing part about the song in English so that English speakers still understand part of it. That makes the art more powerful in my opinion.

ok, deflect then. why go through all that effort of writing all this if you don’t want an answer? Oh, right. You’re trying to pretend to yourself that you’re right.

enjoy your life in America then. seems to go swimmingly for guys like you who know everything about integration and understanding.

What? All that linux mint stuff happened in November 2025 if that’s what you mean.

They’re such drama queens. “Oh no, I’m getting a free massage! Horrible! How dare you!” lifts paw menacingly

You know, this actually plays IN FAVOUR of my argument and shows that you know fuck all about Rammstein. When Rammstein made a song critical of US culture, they actually DID partiallly sing in English!

-> Amerika “We’re all living in America! Amerika, ist wunderbar!” “This is not a love song This is not a love song I don’t sing my mother tongue No, this is not a love song”

You guys don’t know shit and yet you criticize me. And the absurd thing is that I’m not even criticizing Bad Bunny, but am in favour of his message.

I never said that it’s not an official language. Why accuse me of something I’ve not said? “Pointing out that this country’s identity is and should be about more than White English Speakers.” Yeah, as I said, the show was okay. But I wished I could have understood the lyrics as well. And I think a lot of other people would have wished for that as well. The ending show sign was very good though.

You haven’t read my comment by the way. I said I watched a video of it (on YouTube). There were no subtitles available under that video. I also haven’t said that this show should’ve pandered to White English speakers. That’s another baselesse accusation. I said it would have been a more powerful message, if the message he rapped about in the lyrics would have been at least partially understandable to English speakers. A mix would have shown how both languages are part of the same US-American identity. That’s what I was about.

How the fuck am I supposed to know as a German that this show had subtitles in the original tv screening? By the way, most people on Reddit have mentioned that it actually didn’t have any subtitles, so there were probably differences in to whom it was available. Maybe dependent on the tv station?

Fuck’s sake man. Why do you make up shit to get offended about? We’re on the same team. Some of you guys are a bunch of nitpicky assholes who thrive on finding things to argue about rather than trying to find things you might have in common.

ok, thx. still weird.

Posts on linux mint forum asking for help Nobody answers Now how do you follow that direction?

No, it doesn’t.

Windows. If you do anything work related, you need to be able to use excel and word. It’s still annoying shit, but it works and it’s more stable/easier to use than linux. I have tried both. I say this with poison spitting out of my mouth, because I don’t like the Microsoft AI and forced advertisement shit, but overall, the OS performs better, because desktop linux still has massive problems in 2026.

The linux community may claim that you can “do anything” on a linux system and “make it your own”, but if you’re not a 24-year-old tech god who can code, it’s unfeasible. I tried several times to go on forums and ask for help regarding certain customization changes. Sometimes I got help, but it was very complicated. Most of the time, nobody answered in those threads or if they did, they blamed me for the “problem” and wrote stuff that didn’t help at all. At some point you gotta go: Okay, this is nice and everything, but I want to play or work at some point and this is not capable of doing at least one of the two. And there is no official tech support to help you out if you need it. When I simply wanted to create 1 bug report, I had to create 4 different accounts on different bug report websites and they all got closed, because “it’s not my department” or - I shit you not - “it’s a serious problem and bug, but I don’t have time to fix it”.

I tried Linux Mint Cinnamon. The installer was so fucking shit, that it didn’t recogneize the hard drive and therefore - without warning or telling me where it would install - tried to install itself on the very same USB-stick the install files (.iso) were on, erasing the install files in the process and crashing the entire install, while temporarily bricking the fucking system. The promise of “games are working now on Steam/linux due to Proton compatibility overlay” are greatly exaggerated. I tried starting about 15 games and of those only 2 would even start up. If you would post on the discussion forums, other (linux?) users would just respond with “but it works for me”. Well, gosh, thanks you piece of shit, but that doesn’t help me identify or fix the problem. And trying to run Word or Excel? “Oh man, you need a virtual machine just to run that, bro! You can’t run it natively, because xhgaoohofa. Who even needs that, bro? Use LibreOffice, bro! It’s enough, bro!” It’s fucking shit. Get it running, I need to work. And your 500 shitty fonts in LibreOffice won’t convince anyone that you’re a professional. I want fucking Times New Roman and Calibri out of the box, because that’s the standard for my office work, sorry.

Using Waterfox was a shit show. It’s faster than regular Firefox, but then it proceeded to delete all of my passwords by default every time I closed it, without asking whether I wanted to do that or not beforehand. Then I had to find the fucking hidden option to disable that. I did. But this piece of shit software has a bug. So it ignores that I selected that “hidden” option and continues to delete all my account data and passwords. And linux bros will be like: “Oh, that’s your fault, bro! Our linux programs have no bugs, bro [despite it being listed as an official bug on the fucking GitHub page - but they don’t read that]! You have to use an external password manager, bro! It’s totally safe to insert all your account data into a program from an unknown software developer without back-ups, bro!”

I can’t even change the fucking window closing button design in linux mint without changing the theme of the entire fucking system. The buttons on there are MacOS-inspired and fucking tiny. I want easy to click big boxes like on Windows.

I still got that linux laptop, but I rarely use it, because everything is a fucking chore or doesn’t work out of the box. The update manager - now that thing is GOOD! But I just want to set it to do update shit automatically and I can’t. So every time I use this fucking system, I have to spend my time on authorizing those fucking update installs with my password manually.

Then there is the forking issue. There are 100000000 distros, because the developers are autistic, antisocial shitheads who don’t understand that 1 distro with more integrated customization options would be sufficient and more efficient. So they all want their own distro and create a confusing mess where nobody understands what’s happening anymore except for a few IT guys who can troubleshoot the shit they’re fabricating on a regular intervall. What if I want to work AND game on the same system? I don’t want to choose between linux mint and fucking bazzite. I want the functionality of both in one system. That’s what Windows has managed to do for over 30 years now. Get your shit together. Same for the support. When I have a problem with the Linux Mint install launcher, I have to be redirected from Linux Mint support to fucking Ubuntu support, because the launcher is actually fucking Ubuntu and then Ubuntu redirects me to a special Ubuntu launcher support site where I have to file another report and then the developers/maintainers there redirect me to their personal GitHub page to file another report with another entirely different bug report form there only to tell me afterwards that s/he has no time to fix it, even though the bug is legit and then CLOSES the bug report. Excuse me, but get 1 (!) support website please and redirect reports INTERNALLY. I will NEVER file a bug report for a linux system again, that I can tell you. Go FUCK yourselves, linux mint developers!

And I don’t understand the fucking hype of all these idiots around Steam. Steam is not open-source, it’s not free (you have to buy the games with a big fee % for Valve). It’s a multi-billion dollar for-profit, closed-system, privately owned company that has said “fuck you” to everyone who wanted Half Life 3 or the next Left 4 Dead for years. Despite having BILLIONS of USD at their disposal to make it happen. Don’t get me started on fucking kid gambling with loot boxes and microtransactions in Counter Strike etc. Fuck these idiots! The dominant gaming market and launcher should be free, open source, non-profit and owned by everyone. I don’t want to finance another yacht for Gaben. I want to finance more games, compatibility updates, optimized hardware drivers, remasters of retro games and so on.

To be honest, I hate a lot of todays technology industry and I have good fucking reasons for it. Computers were made to make our lives easier, but all they have managed to do is to make many people more socially isolated and working on them more of a chore than the original fucking paper work. Prove of that? You’re currently reading a piece of fucking text of a person who you don’t know instead of talking to a friend in person. Probably in a darkened room cave so that the light doesn’t interfere with the screen brightness.

EDIT: If you downvote my comment, at least have the balls to comment why.

I don’t want to watch those for exactly those reasons. Your description of it is very vague though. Can you describe in general terms what was happening so that people here know what those people were doing to other people?

That belly looks mighty fluffy.

Dude. Wtf. Use the bar analogy. Would you say this in a bar with friends and strangers around the table when someone shows you a cute picture of his cat? How you react and make it about masturbation is just suuuuuper weird.

No hate on him, but I understand why. I’m German, but I speak English and a little Spanish as well. When I saw a video of the Superbowl halftime show, I got the symbolism, but I didn’t understand anything he was saying in Spanish.

If you’re trying to convey to the American public that you’re a well integrated subculture that deserves to be treated equally in terms of American law, I don’t think it’s very helpful if you rap about that in Spanish, because most white U.S. citizens don’t speak Spanish. So if you use all that “Mechico immigrantos good”-symbolism in the pictures, but can’t express yourself properly, it’s going to confirm their racist beliefs that integration is not successful. For me, personally, it made the first impression that this rapper is not from the U.S. mainland culture. Do mind that I had no other context or knowledge about him at that point in time. Would I have wished for a different show? No, it was still okay. But I think a mix of English and Mexican Spanish would have been more powerful.

cybercrime and cocaine trade are the new bank robberies
