On Saturday, I was invited by a #German friend to come over for an asparagus dinner.
For those who don't know, Germans go absolutely WILD for asparagus around this time of year.
I was a bit nervous. as I never liked asparagus, so in the 8 years of living here, I just never joined in #spargelzeit. So this would be the first time I tried them here.
Well, I've been missing out, it was super delicious, and I wonder what was wrong with all the other asparagus meals I had before.
Of course #Germany would retain control over this huge "reservation"; however, this chimeric project was abandoned as Germany attacked the Soviet Union and launched the Final Solution.

A #German court has ruled that the far-right Alternative for Germany party, or #AfD, can officially be classified as a suspected #extremist group. This means Germany’s domestic intelligence service retains the right to have the party under surveillance.
If you are into languages, you are probably familiar with those conversations with your multilingual friends: you take arbitrary elements from the languages you both speak, and randomly squeeze them together into sentences.
That is any regular Monday for the Swiss. Schwyzdüütsch, a.k.a. #Swiss German is a colorful amalgamation of German, French and Italian.
While living in germany not for long I once had a german friend telling me she build her own closet, so me in reply said 'wow, du bist schlimm!' (when 'slim' in dutch means 'smart')
Her face skewed and she threw a rant but after some explanation we had a good laugh, but yeah, languages can be funny sometimes mixing them up!
I just found out one actually useful use case for #LLM (a.k.a. “AI”).
There is thousands of tonnes of documents from #german#nazi#regime detailing basically everything what happened, who was involved and who participated what and said what.
Feed ALL of that to an LLM and ask it “how can we avoid this happening ever again”. I have a pretty good guess my self but some people aren’t that convinced. Perhaps this is The Key. #history#sciense#neverAgain
@ente thank you for providing such a great alternative to products like Google Photos, although I still havesome convincing to do, to get my family at least try it... :neocat_lul:
A Green party politician in Dresden has been #attacked just days after another candidate was assaulted and hospitalized by a group of youths. It comes as the interior minister hosted an #emergency summit to discuss how to prevent political #violence amid rising threats against politicians.
