Die Hedonistische Internationale trauert um Martin (Por.No).

Er war guter Freund, treuer Wegbegleiter und ein wunderbarer Mensch, der Protest, Techno und Underground in Berlin über Jahrzehnte selbstlos und unermüdlich geprägt hat.

Möge die Erde ihm leicht sein.

Das ist spannend und ein deutliches Zeichen: Der internationale Gerichtshof schmeißt Microsoft raus und setzt auf deutsche Open-Source-Lösung - aus Angst vor Trump!

Da gab es bereits einen gefährlichen Präzedenzfall.
