> If the AfD were really as bad as people here pretend they are then they won’t get elected.

The NSDAP was properly elected.

There has long been sufficient material to initiate the proceedings to ban the AfD party, but the conservative parties (CDU/CSU) have so far blocked this.

All the state bodies authorized to file such a request – the Bundestag, the Bundesrat, and the Federal Government – each require a simple majority to initiate the proceedings and thus rely on the votes of the CDU.

It is also important to note that this is merely a request for an examination; the final decision rests with the Federal Constitutional Court.

There is a recent comment from a very respected lawyer about the situation, citing Göbbels: https://youtu.be/I87E0cV367I?t=11614 (use the auto-translated subtitles)

The full quote translates to something like:

"It will always remain one of the greatest ironies of democracy that it provided its own mortal enemies with the very means by which it was destroyed. As elected representatives, the persecuted leaders of the NSDAP enjoyed parliamentary immunity, a salary, and free travel passes. This shielded them from police intervention, allowed them greater latitude in what they could say compared to ordinary citizens, and—to top it all off—ensured that their activities were financed by their very enemies. This democratic stupidity could be exploited to great advantage."

I don't understand why I'm not seeing a single comment here regarding the fact that web apps are mostly a piece of shit performance and usability wise.

> 320.7M prompt tokens

So that's an additional couple of thousand dollars API cost (at $1.57/M tokens Weighted Avg Input Price and $30.77/M tokens Weighted Avg Output Price)?

This June in Germany was on average 3 °C hotter than usual. That should give an idea.

I tried all of them (organic maps, OSMAnd, etc.) and eventually stuck with locus maps.

https://locusmap.app

The interface is a bit cumbersome, but it got way better over time and there are some really engaged developers behind it you can always contact. It's intended for biking and hiking, but you can also use it for cars. Meanwhile, they even support android auto.

It's the type of app that grew massively over decades and that offers basically every functionality that you can imagine.
