Darin danken sie für Anteilnahme und Solidarität: „Wir bedanken uns bei den Hilfskräften, bei den Pflegekräften, Ärztinnen für die gute Unterstützung, Begleitung und für den emotionalen Beistand.“ Sie wollen nur die Vornamen der beiden getöteten veröffentlicht wissen: Amel heißt die Mutter, Hafsa die Tochter.

Die 37-jährige Frau wurde nach Angaben der Familie in Algerien geboren und kam mit vier Jahren nach Deutschland. Sie studierte Umweltschutz und war seit 2017 bei der Stadt München als Ingenieurin beschäftigt. Sie arbeitete zuletzt als Sachgebietsleiterin bei der Münchner Stadtentwässerung. Der Familie ist es wichtig, dass der Tod von Mutter und Tochter nicht genutzt werde, „um Hass zu schüren“, er dürfe nicht politisch instrumentalisiert werden. Im Statement heißt es: „Amel war ein Mensch, der sich für Gerechtigkeit eingesetzt hat. War aktiv für Solidarität, Gleichheit und setzte sich für Arbeitnehmer*innenrechte ein und gegen Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Ausgrenzung. Ihr war es sehr wichtig, ihrer Tochter diese Werte mitzugeben.“

Buenos Aires (AFP) – Argentina's President Javier Milei admitted making a mistake on Saturday after promoting a cryptocurrency whose value soared and then crashed, with his office announcing an "urgent investigation".

According to news outlets, Milei posted a message on social media platform X Friday evening, praising a "private project" aimed at "stimulating the growth of the Argentine economy, by financing small businesses and Argentine entrepreneurs."

"The world wants to invest in Argentina. $LIBRA," the post reportedly said, naming the cryptocurrency along with a website for the project.

Hours later, Milei deleted the message, saying: "I did not know the details of the project and after learning about it, I decided not to continue promoting it."

He added he had "obviously no connection" with the "alleged private company."

Argentine economists and crypto specialists, in addition to opposition political figures, criticized Milei and said that the digital asset could be a fraud or Ponzi scheme.

Industry observers called the operation a "rug pull" -- a scam where developers unveil a crypto token, attract investors, then quickly cash out.

"Within minutes of the launch, multiple large holders began liquidating MILLIONS of USD worth of $LIBRA," the Kobeissi Letter, which provides analysis on global capital markets, said in a thread on X.

"This included gains of +$4 million or more as $LIBRA rose to $4.6 billion in market (capitalization). After the top was set at 5:40 PM ET, the coin fell in a literal straight-line."

In a statement on Saturday the Argentine presidency said that "in light of the events," Milei "has decided to immediately involve the Anti-Corruption Office (OA) to determine whether any improper conduct occurred by any member of the national government, including the president himself."

It stated that Milei had "not in any way participated in the development" of the cryptocurrency, and announced the creation of an investigation task force under the president's office to carry out an "urgent investigation into the launch of the cryptocurrency $LIBRA, and all companies or individuals involved."

Javier Smaldone, a computer scientist and digital influencer known for highlighting pyramid schemes, called the short-lived operation a "global scam," in a post on X.

"So far, it has been discovered that the profit made is around $107 million," he told AFP. "Maybe more."

On Saturday, former president and opposition figure Cristina Kirchner called Milei a "crypto-scammer."

Maximiliano Ferraro, of the center-right Civic Coalition, said Parliament must create a "special inquiry commission" to "clarify the facts and determine responsibility."

Francisco Onato, identified in local media as Milei's personal lawyer, posted on X that the president merely highlighted a company to boost Argentina's economy.

His behavior "does not constitute any crime, due to the lack of intention," he said.

Noch bis Ende Corona war die AfD noch pfui und wurde fast nicht in den deutschen ÖRR eingeladen. Nicht ausgesprochene Programmpolitik war: mit Rechtsradikalen spricht man nicht. Zeitsprung. 2025 sitzt in fast jeder wichtigen Polittalkshow eine*r von denen und wenn nicht, werden trotzdem AfD Themen diskutiert. Die allgemeine Diskursverschiebung nach (radikal) rechts in den letzten Jahren hat glaub ich jeder mitgekriegt. Neuster journalistischer Tiefpunkt: Die Tagesschau nennt im verlinkten Artikel die Heritage Foundation (Hauptautorin von Project 2025) ohne Scham als seriöse Quelle dafür was in den VS gerade passiert (Kurzzusammenfassung: alle lieben Trump, gehen Sie weiter, es gibt nichts zu sehen). Ich hab das Gefühl grob was verpasst zu haben. Wer kann mir erklären was in den letzten 3 Jahren hinter den Kulissen beim ÖRR/Das Erste passiert ist??

Frankfurt (Germany) (AFP) – Running late and vastly over budget, a mammoth rail project stands as a monument to what critics say is Germany's glaring failure to tackle long-standing infrastructure woes.

"Stuttgart 21" is envisaged as a major, futuristic rail hub in the southwestern city, a fitting gateway to a region home to the headquarters of corporate heavyweights such as Bosch and Mercedes-Benz. But 15 years after work began, the project -- which involves replacing the current station with a major underground site -- is not yet complete.

Parts of the city centre remain a vast building site and costs have more than doubled to around 11 billion euros ($11.4 billion).

"Money is just being thrown out of the window," Dieter Reicherter, spokesman for protest group Action Alliance Against Stuttgart 21, told AFP.

"It would be much better if the money had just been used to improve and modernise the existing infrastructure."

Ageing, clapped-out infrastructure and badly planned projects are among some of the most visible problems facing Europe's top economy, whose malaise has become a key issue in the February 23 parliamentary election.

Germany's reputation for efficiency no longer holds true, critics contend -- trains do not run on time, internet and mobile phone coverage is often patchy, and roads and bridges are in a state of disrepair.

Observers blame years of underinvestment, cumbersome planning and approval procedures and political paralysis caused in recent years by the feuding ruling coalition, whose November collapse precipitated the polls.

A catalogue of problems meant it took 14 years to build a new international airport in the capital Berlin, which finally opened in 2020.

The parlous condition of the railways, run by state-owned operator Deutsche Bahn, is a frequent target of criticism, with passengers complaining of breakdowns, cancelled services and shuttered restaurant carriages.

In 2023 a total of 36 percent of long-distance trains were not punctual, defined as six minutes or more past their scheduled arrival time, according to data from the operator, a rate unthinkable in the past.

The problems sparked international headlines when Germany hosted the Euro 2024 football tournament last summer, with stories of fans facing arduous journeys, frequent delays and being left stranded on platforms.

Elsewhere there are concerns about the state of the country's bridges -- in a 2022 paper, the transport ministry identified 4,000 of them in need of modernisation.

Last September a bridge in Dresden collapsed into the Elbe river in the early hours, causing no injuries but snarling traffic in the eastern city.

It is not just physical infrastructure problems holding the country back, with critics also pointing to a slow rollout of new technologies and digitalisation.

Just 11 percent of Germany's fixed broadband connections are of the faster fiber-optic variety, one of the lowest rates among countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, according to OECD data.

The infrastructure woes have been partly blamed on Germany's constitutionally enshrined "debt brake", which limits annual public deficits to 0.35 percent of GDP, hampering borrowing and keeping spending low.

"The overarching reason is too little investment," ING bank analyst Carsten Brzeski told AFP.

He urged the next government to "invest, invest, invest", and suggested setting up an infrastructure fund and coming up with a 10-year plan.

Both the centre-right CDU, likely to take power after the vote, and Chancellor Olaf Scholz's SPD have voiced openness to easing the debt brake.

Berenberg bank economist Salomon Fiedler said there was a good chance of "helpful reforms" under the country's new leaders.

"I do expect that the next government will try to streamline bureaucratic procedures to speed up investment projects," he told AFP.

But that may be little comfort to residents of Stuttgart whose city centre has faced long-running disruption due to the monster rail project.

"When you come to Stuttgart by train, you have to walk around the construction site," said protest activist Reicherter. "It is like a long-distance hiking trail."

The alliance opposes the project on numerous grounds, including that its main aim is not to improve rail traffic but rather to free up space above ground for new real estate projects.

There is light at the end of the tunnel -- Deutsche Bahn believes the project will be mostly up and running at the end of next year, seven years late.

It insists there will be benefits to travellers, such as significant reductions in journey times and a better link to the airport. But Reicherter dismisses the claims as "fairy tales", and fears follow-up construction will continue for years to come.

"Unfortunately it never stops," he said.

Hey everyone,

I have a gaming laptop with fedora installed and in general have no problems with it. However I would like to play some games on it from Steam.

So I installed the Nvidia drivers and when the laptop is not using an external monitor it's great, the games performance are 10/10.

However I most often use my laptop plugged into an ultrawide monitor and when I do that with the Nvidia driver active all sorts of strangle artifacts show up on the screen and the edges go black and shudder, this slowly gets worse over the course of about 15 minutes until I cannot use the laptop at all and need to reboot.

Using the built in drivers the ultrawide monitor is completely fine, but games run very poorly.

Does any one have any experience with this, and any idea if there's something I can do to correct it?
