Random question about our trip in a few weeks.
We will need to use a taxi in Koblenz from the railway station to our hotel.
Is there a reliable taxi company, or an app based taxi anyone can recommend please?
Eine zufällige Frage zu unserer Reise in ein paar Wochen.
Wir müssen in Koblenz ein Taxi vom Bahnhof zu unserem Hotel nehmen.
Gibt es ein zuverlässiges Taxi-Unternehmen oder eine App-basierte Taxi jemand bitte empfehlen kann?

There was once a princess in Goslar who was so beautiful that her own father lusted after her and sought to marry her!
It took the combined efforts of the Virgin Mary _and_ the Devil to get her out of this mess.

Proton no longer trusts Switzerland to host its AI infrastructure 🇨🇭🚫
Due to proposed mass surveillance laws, Lumo — Proton’s new private AI — will run on servers in Germany & Norway instead 🇩🇪🇳🇴
CEO Andy Yen warns the Swiss proposal mirrors “surveillance capitalism” & could make Swiss services less private than Google’s 🔐

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The #EU desperately needs to create a payment processor that's an alternative to the conservative evangelical Christian companies Visa, Mastercard and American Express that keep pushing their moralizing crap onto individuals and companies by *removing their income* if they're not deemed moral enough (=no sex, drugs etc). They should also be taken to EU court over that behavior. #Germany #Netherlands #Switzerland where are you? Get going! 👏👏👏

Israel’s genocide isn’t just murdering Palestinians en masse, it’s also destroying any semblance of morality or ethics the West might have purported to possess. International law? Bullshit. European values? Trash. Western democracy? A joke.

German Song in America
In the late 1800s, German American singing festivals united German immigrant communities and brought new kinds of cultural activities to the United States.

Someone educate the admins at mastodon.social that holocaust and Holocaust are different things. Note the capitalisation.
What israel is perpetrating in Palestine is *a* holocaust, not *the* Holocaust. And yes, it is genocide. And yes, they’re also guilty of close to eight decades of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler colonialism. All these things can be (and are) true at the same time.
Basically, if you’re defending israel in any way, shape, or form right now, you’re the worst of the worst. Almost a century ago, you’re the kind of person who would have been cheering on Hitler. And yes, that’s also a valid comparison.
(Genocide-loving Germans on mastodon.social don’t @ me. My mentions are a genocide-apologist-free zone.)
