It kinda funny how the German is already heavily loaded and trying to make it a bad thing, but the English translation is reducing any amount of nuance the original text still had left in it, painting it as this devil institution brainwashing young people into becoming soulless borg commies.

for example, the original last sentence reads like this, faithfully translated: "Socialist morals and a positive attitude to life in a community were more important learning goals than the development of individual skills."

Here's the whole thing, trying to be as faithful and transliteral as I can be to the original:
Kindergarten served not only for childcare, it was also the first educational institution, anyone born in the GDR would visit. Obviously, because of this, state leadership had an interest in providing wide coverage: places at a Kindergarten were available for way more than 90 percent of children. The daily schedule was precisely planned and applicable to everyone: they would play together, eat together and have naps together - under instruction [you could read this as "guidance" too, but the tone of the original is very clearly already trying to make the supervision part of childcare into an evil commie thing, so yea]. Socialist morals and a positive attitude to life in a community were more important learning goals than the development of individual skills.

some days you're the robot, some days you're the dog,

and other times you just happen to be a raccoon with a surplus ghetto blaster

I liked it as well, go watch it

it's real but it was hackers commandeering the projectors

edit: or maybe not, I bothered looking up a Berlin newspaper article talking about it, and apparently it's a screengrab from a fake video. The two cop cars under the gate do look fishy / duplicated

Last of Us was good
Halo is generally pretty well received, though I felt it was sorta mid (but enjoyable enough, I guess)

this just reminded me, amazon is still doing that Disco Elysium show I believe lt-dbyf-dubois

I'm pretty happy with Podcini, it's FOSS and does all I need
Also supports importing lists of podcasts, though I'm not sure it does patreon feeds at all, you'd have to check

lemons are great for this. You don't need all of it, just the skin. press the lemon and enjoy the juice, put the skins on the glass rack and you'll have a fresh lemon flavor when opening the door. needs replacing every other wash or so (they get hard and stop smelling)

you just gotta take the whole lane bro, take space like a car

then abolish roosters as well

You could try asking @SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net how she did it.

I'm guessing it has to be very small in size and formatted in a specific way for it to actually play. There might be some fiddly sub-settings of exporting .gifs involved that I barely know exist.
