The whole article is complete BS.

Just one small example:

Pro-Palestinian protests in many parts the country as well as Palestinian flags, pro-Palestinian speech and the Palestinian keffiyeh headdress have been banned with schools in Berlin given official permission to do so.

What happened is that schools CAN ban keffiyeh. And of course they can, political symbols of any kind always have been not allowed at schools. It was the same when I went 10 to 20 years ago.

Hydrogen Production would be the logical thing.

Not exactly a powder but Zyklon B was liquid hydrocyanic acid (HCN) in a porous granulated Material https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zyklon_B#/media/Datei%3ACyklonb.JPG

It did not need to be activated, however in winter gas Chambers needed to be heated to ensure the acid would go into its gaseous state fast enough.

First: Zyklon B was mainly used in Auschwitz, many other camps did use CO or engine exhaust gases.

Nazi death camps used shower heads to introduce a gas into the gas chambers

No, the showers were simply fake. Zyklon B was inserted from above into metal pipes so it would fall down into the gas chamber. You can see an animation here: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/die-gaskammern-in-auschwitz-birkenau-creative-commons-100.html

and likely relatively expensive

It was widely used for killing insects for example on ships, cooling houses, mills or other in other storage facilities. In fact the overwhelming part of Zyklon B going to concentration camps was indeed used to kill fleas or lice and not for killing humans. The price was 4.55 RM in 1943 per kg which is roughly the same in Euros today.

It also meant that the gas chambers had to be aerated for a number of minutes

30 to 40 minutes

Why didn’t they simply use CO2

Zyklon B was again a mass product with the corresponding production capacities already there and not expensive. Also it is estimated that around 4kg of Zyklon B are able to kill 1000 people. It is also fast acting and thereby simply very effective in that sense. Plus it was also simple to transport and store as it came on a carrier material, so pressure gas bottles were not necessary but simple metal containers were used.

Germany literally just shut down their existing nuclear plants and replaced them with fossil fuels.

That’s completely false.

responsible for like 1/8 of Germany’s electrical production

More like 2-3%

it wasn’t a cost decision

Not exclusively, but the high price of nuclear is one of the main points in the decision

the graph at the top shows the growth in Germany’s installed wind capacity in Germany leveling off

Because the graph stops in 2022. The growth now is accelerating and even more so for solar power which OP conveniently does not show us

upped coal energy production

In fact thats simply not true

28, Germany. Yes I can and I dont know anybody with a drivers license who cant.

I mean over a billion Euros is technically correct, the actual number however is more like 150 to 200 billion Euros

Just fyi: you can simply choose the order of the back and apps buttons. They are not inverted

Its just super unattractive to join. If I am thinking about joining a platform I want to know if there is content that is interesting to me. Now if I go to https://join-lemmy.org/ what do I see? It greets me with explanations of the Licensing, tells me all the programming languages and frameworks, shows me pictures of code and something about mod tools and of course immediately offers me to run my own server. None of that is even remotely interesting to me even now that I am a registered user. Not to mention that the design is questionable. Then it says “Join a server”. I am not here to join a server, I am here to join a platform. And if I click on that I am met with about 50 different instances, of which I have no idea what to choose and what implications my choice has.

The whole federation thing, the design, everything is just unintuitive and unattractive to join.

There was no Hakenkreuz on the Reichstag, you are thinking of the Stadium in Nürnberg and it was the Americans who blew it up :)

You don’t wash anything away and why would you crack the shell? Just boil the egg. It’s good for about two weeks at room temperature according to every source I can find. Thats also what it says on the preboiled Easter eggs.

Whats the problem? Even fresh, unboiled eggs are good for more than two weeks unrefrigerated.

Some boiled eggs are easy

Maybe I’m crazy, but isnt just learning how to drive an option? Especially automatic is really not that hard.

Definitely Material Design, it just looks so much more modern, clean, lightweight and consistent than GNOME. For me it’s one of the big drawbacks of using Linux.
