8 months ago(…) EU court says
The European Court of Human Rights does not belong to the European Union but to the Council of Europe which has nothing to do with the EU. A journalist should know that.

17·9 months agoGood time to become vegan. They can’t be against that!
Of course they can. The following is a AfD request (source: German parliament, auto-translated by DeepL)
AfD demands warning against vegan diet
The AfD parliamentary group is calling for warnings about vegan diets. The Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) should “explicitly and emphatically warn of the dangers of a vegan diet without the additional intake of supplements, especially for risk groups”, according to a motion (20/9798). The warnings would have to be visible digitally on the website of the Federal Agency. Furthermore, the warnings should be included in corresponding printed materials, including a list of possible symptoms of malnutrition.

They are simply against everything. That’s the way they operate. Their party platform states that they want to remove all subsidies for farmers. At the same time they are protesting that a very small part of those subsidies is being removed. They try sow chaos, hatred and division. An AfD politician even said: “The worse Germany is doing, the better it is for the AfD”
When I hear Nazi, I think “Ah, someone disagreed with an asshole”, and I don’t think “Hitler”.
These are some of people that are currently protesting:

This really is about Nazis and not just about an asshole.
you can get protests for absurd things.
And you can protest for the right thing. E.g for democracy, freedom and against racism and autocracy.
The majority of those who are protesting are normal people. Even the catholic and protestant churches have called to attend the protests.

Hundreds of thousand of people are protesting every day. This is not a protest by some fringe groups. This is a mass protests by ordinary citizens because our freedoms and our democracy is under attack.
and how Germany’s hate speech laws are abused.
And the next lie … Really, either stop posting or check your sources. That’s (far-right) bullshit.
Im basing my judgement off of some Americans protesting for Hamas
Germany is not the USA. That some Americans are protesting for Hamas has nothing to do with Germany.
Edit:
BTW, in Bremen 40,000 protested today. In Cologne another 70,000 protested. In Munich the protest had to be stopped after after more than 100.0000 (conservative estimate) people came together before the protest even started. And that are only some cities where protests are happening today. There are (peaceful) protests every day all over Germany and protests continue.
Maybe you belief German Jews than:
The President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany Josef Schuster expresses deep concern about the AfD’s high poll numbers.
“The right-wing extremist party currently has nationwide support that I would not have imagined even in my nightmares, and this causes me serious concern,” said Schuster in an interview with Web.de.News.
The AfD is ‘largely nationalist, racist, and ethnically exclusive,’ and it ‘clearly also embodies Nazi ideals,’ added the Central Council President. ‘If a party like the AfD were ever to be part of a federal government, one would have to seriously consider whether Jewish life is still possible in Germany.’
Schuster recalled that Charlotte Knobloch, a Holocaust survivor and President of the Munich Jewish Community, said in 2006 that the Jews in Germany had finally unpacked their bags.
‘That statement was absolutely accurate at the time,’ he said. ‘Today, one or two people are already looking in the attic where they stowed the empty suitcase, so they can have it ready to hand again.”
Stop making broad claims just because you read one article on Wikipedia.
Do you really belief such protests on an unprecedented scale are happening all over Germany (my country) because the AfD doesn’t like terrorists?
The headline is not wrong but somewhat misleading. Yesterday there where more than 300,000 people protesting against the Nazi party (AfD) and yesterday wasn’t even the first or the last day of protests.
People are realizing that we are not talking about an ultra-conservative party but about an anti-democratic and racist party that wants to deport millions of people - many of them Germans - from Germany. That is exactly the plan Hitler had and that led to the Holocaust.
Edit:
Those people lost their minds.
The AfD parliamentary group leader for Saxony-Anhalt, Ulrich Siegmund, is also in the room. It is he who will, later on in the day’s proceedings, appeal for donations. He has considerable influence within the AfD; the party is currently polling in first place in Saxony-Anhalt. His sales pitch, very much in keeping with the “masterplan” of Sellner, details his ideas to change the image of German streets. Foreign restaurants would be put under pressure. Living in Saxony-Anhalt should be made “as unattractive as possible for this clientele.” And that could be accomplished very, very easily, he claims. His comments could have consequences for the region’s upcoming elections.

No more indian / chinese / greek / italian / thai … restaurants. Only schnitzel and pork roast.
Why is he even allowed to enter Germany?
According to the “Act on the General Freedom of Movement for EU Citizens” EU citizens that pose a risk to public order and/or security can loose their entitlement. He is without any doubt such a risk. He’s a foreigner and a clear danger to our country.
2·11 months agoDo you get background notifications with Geary?
Yes. If it helps: I run it under Gnome. Maybe you need some extra service running?! I just checked and on my machine - in addition to Geary - there is the evolution-data-server running among others (evolution-source-registry, evolution-alarm-notify, evolution-calendar-factory, evolution-addressbook-factory).
geary/evolution seem to just… break sometimes
That’s weird. I run Geary myself for a couple off accounts and so far it does the job perfectly and without hiccups.
Anyway. You may try birdtray as written in one of the other comments but I’m pretty sure I tried it at least once and for some reasons wasn’t convinced. YMMW
is there a simple way to get thunderbird to fetch them from the moment I turn the pc on and give me notifications about it?
Sure. You can autostart Thunderbird and keep it open but I haven’t found a way, where Thunderbird closes/starts to the tray and for some odd reasons the developers seem to think that users do not need this functionality which makes the whole email client unusable for a large part of the potential user base.
I can get the clients to fetch the e-mail atm, the issue is what I wrote above,
??? You wrote:
Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail.
gmail
I don’t know much about Gmail but I’m quite certain, that you only have to enable IMAP/SMTP in Gmail settings.
protonmail.
Install the Proton Mail Bridge and connect to the IMAP/SMTP server on localhost (ports 1143 and 1025).
Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem?
I had only minor problems getting the above to work. Anyway., for Protonmail there is ElectronMail. It’s available as Flatpak too and it minimizes/starts to tray.
I’m not sure if I have a favorite game but if I had to choose one I’ll probably have to say Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup given the amount of time I have spent with that game.
