About a month ago I watched a 2-hour video covering the entire history of the Germany basically from the neolithic onwards. So yeah I’m aware of the major major geopolitical changes (HRE from its beginnings under Charlemagne, Prussia vs Austria-Hungary, German Empire under Bismarck, etc).

But that wasn’t even enough time to cover much about the sentiments of individual regions at different points in history. So that’s interesting, thanks!

I’m curious, how much of that longing for the old kingdom was driven by nobility or wealthy merchants vs. the working-class? And how much was economic vs cultural?

Just tried it on Ubuntu LTS (as a flatpak) and my first impression wasn’t great.

The sign-in experience was nice with a QR code and verification code. But then the first thing on the video browse list was as ad, and the first video I played started with the same ad. There’s no icon you can click to go fullscreen, but I have a wireless keyboard and eventually figured out F11 is a shortcut (F and Enter do nothing). But then about 3 minutes into the video, the whole app window went gray. Nothing clickable, just 100% gray. I was able to exit fullscreen and close out the app, but it was pretty obviously a Ui crash of some sort.

This was just the first impression so I’ll keep it installed and see if it improves with updates. Or maybe try it on Deck or my Endeavor machine.

Interesting comment! I knew most of that, but didn’t realize how close Bavaria came to independence.

I’m hoping to visit southern Deutschland later this summer, and go all the way from the Schwarzwald to the Königsee. Everyone seems to say Neuschwanstein is a tourist trap so I intend to skip it (don’t care for crowds anyway), but yeah the Füssen area looks great for a hike.

You still think it’s worth visiting the Schloss itself, when I could be spending that time on the Bodensee or atop the Zugspitze?
