Hamas are not in the West Bank

It's not "considered trendy", your understanding of communism – an economic system – is just conflated with authoritarianism – a political system. You can advocate for one without advocating for the other.

That said, capitalism also leads to the deaths of millions, but somehow that's just an unquestionable fact of life.

Yeah, but even that is stretching it for a work email unless there is a concrete reason you'd be concerned, like you know they're dealing with stuff. Otherwise – at least in my northern German circles – that's already getting pretty personal

Yeah I mean you can translate it literally, but it means nothing. The English equivalent of what it communicates in German would be more like "I hope this email gets delivered to you." which is just a weird thing to say.

I would post the UN human rights council's analysis but I already know you would just move the goalposts and say the UN aren't "international policy experts" so why even bother

As a native German speaker I agree that ChatGPT is very English-flavored. I think it's just because the sheer amount of English training data is so much larger that the patterns it learned from that bleed over into other languages. Traditional machine translations are also often pretty obvious in German, but they are more fundamentally wrong in a way that ChatGPT isn't.

It's also somewhat cultural. The output you get from ChatGPT often sounds overly verbose and downright ass-kissing in German, even though I know I wouldn't get that impression from the same output in English, simply because the way you communicate in professional environments is vastly different. (There is no German equivalent to "I hope this email finds you well", for example.)

Was ist eigentlich mit der deutschen Medienlandschaft los, dass sowas mehr oder weniger komplett unkritisch übernommen wird, wenn selbst die ansonsten sehr ähnlich gestimmten UK und US Medien (NYT, CNN, Guardian, ...) das Vorgehen der israelischen Regierung inzwischen nicht mehr gutheißen?

I regularly have those dreams where I am desperately trying to open my eyes because of some danger or other, but they're suuuper heavy and it doesn't work. This is that

I am in pure disbelief at how aggressively the country is prosecuting dissent on this particular conflict compared to previous crises. Literal neo-Nazi marches are scrutinized less than activists calling for peace. Germany has just gone full mask off

It also says that in the linked article itself lmao

You wrote a whole essay speculating when it literally says in the article:

Nothing Chats then leverages Sunbird’s undisclosed number of Mac mini computers across Europe and North America as a waypoint for sending and receiving iMessage-compatible texts and media.
