Same here in DE: So far, I did not miss much without an Android or iOS phone. Some #bicycle rentals and online #dating, that's it.

Banks work well with a #TANgenerator, #creditCard with #SMS. German #goverment and #administration mainly works by #telefax, I guess.

Chromebooks at schools and Windows at work, no room for FLOSS.
This is really, really bad. This is just stupid, our governments are just not good enough.
Why always the paid option?
PCs with Linux are cheaper. Germany, France, Spain are moving to Linux while Starmer is getting a new pair of knee pads.
Disgusting

Pete #kegsbreath recently quoted Pulp Fiction as a #bible verse during a #church service and #Trump is actively laundering money while on the job yet there is no outrage from #republicans YET they completely lost their shit when #Obama wore a tan suit? The #hypocrisy is astounding.

Imagine if Obama or even George W. Bush did this. There would be massive outrage from #everyone. #Congress would launch numerous investigations and there would be a tidal wave of #impeachment filings.

But.... it's treated as business as usual when this administration regularly commits crimes, makes a mockery of the #unitedstates and the #constitution, shits on #humanrights, and publicly brags about waging #genocide on another #country.

This speaks volumes about the #character and #integrity of this administration, complicit #politicians, and the people who voted for these #criminals.

If we are *ever* to recover from this, it will take generations.
