Fall geklärt, doch Linux-Diskriminierung (s. Kommentar)
Nach 20 Jahren habe ich zum ersten Mal wieder WWM im Fernsehen geguckt, habe aber leider nicht die ganze Folge geschafft.
Morgens, auf dem Rechner meiner Eltern (Win 11), kurz bei RTL nachgeschaut: Die Folge war online, ließ sich auch abspielen.
Nun komme ich nach Hause (Linux), will sie gucken, und da heißt es, dass ich kein RTL-Premium-Mitglied bin und leider in die Röhre schauen muss.
Ha, hat sich jetzt aufgeklärt! Habe die Seite gefunden, auf der es bei meinen Eltern ging.
Als ich das Video anklicken will, erscheint die Meldung: "Mit deinem Gerät kannst du keine lizenzgeschützten Inhalte abspielen".
Also doch Linux. Schlimm.
A look back at Pope Francis' life and legacy
Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Pope Francis died Monday, the day after Easter, at the age of 88. As the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, he was the first Latin American pontiff, the first non-European pope in more than a millennium, and he left behind a legacy of service, unity, and compassion.

Looking for book recs!
I’m heading to Czechia this summer, and I just realized—I don’t know any contemporary queer or feminist authors from there.
I’d love to read some local voices before (or during) my trip but I don’t speak Czech, so I’m looking for translations (EN, NL, DE).
If you have any recommendation please send them my way! I’m all ears and super excited to discover new authors.

The debt was imposed as a condition for recognizing Haiti's independence in 1825, and has resulted in generations of poverty and dependence.

Fight
Every hour every day every week
Take a break
Then fight some more
It's a shame we have to
But it is the only way
After enough fighting, it gets easier. But not fighting at all makes it far worse
