I feel like this is part of the reason. CDU/CSU currently seem to profit most from this system and they have been governing for 16 years. Before that, SPD got the most direct mandates and was governing.
Even if the governing parties wanted a change, it would probably be hard to convince their MPs to vote for a law that would endanger their own re-election.
*) seven actually, one party (CSU) only standing in Bavaria instead of the conservative party CDU.
Here's a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bundestag_constituenci...
According to current polls, that means between of 6%-9% of votes (for minor parties) will end up without parliamentary representation (5% at the last federal election).
NB: The number of not represented people is of course much higher, even discounting non-voters and underage citizens, since most(all?) foreign residents don't have the right to vote in federal elections.
(Berlin's pirate party once won a surprisingly high share in the state parliament but wasn't able to fill all seats, because they were polling way lower when compiling their list.)
The linked site lists a (more realistic) scenario already, where the number of seats comes out to more than 900. How did you end up at your 897 seat upper bound?
Or maybe rather, what does "use" mean here?
This is not true. DGB (comprising most unions and all major ones) reported less than 6M members last year [1] out of ~45M working population total or ~34M of dependently employed people [2].
A lot of people might end up benefiting from a union due to them often negotiating contracts for whole occupational groups, but they are not members.

uninstalling updates from Android System WebView seems to be bad advice - that'll likely reintroduce some security issues in the browser widget that most apps use.
Sorry, are you saying it is immoral to name a daemon that interacts with Signal 'signald'?
Still, amazon weights the 5-star no text reviews higher to arrive at 3.5 stars.
(The product now has 7 reviews with at least 3x 1 star text reviews and the weighting still favors the no-text 4/5 star ratings: [1])

But I agree, all of these clients suck in their own way. :(
Now, the owner of that blog set it up in a way that people coming fon HN (who send a Referer) are redirected. (Another user figured that out a few minutes ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26078619 )

Also, where did you find these numbers indicating such a big difference?
The other side of the medal: Google uses their content to stay relevant and make money off of ads.

It is unfortunate though, that this strategy is only seemingly applied to white people.
I read replies from another thread before writing that (asking why people haven't been shot etc.) so I was on a different track here.
