The amount between worker and CEO is orders of magnitude different. And it doesn’t matter that it’s his private money. It comes (partially) from me. Therefore if I use the service I feel partially responsible. A couple percent of every euro I’ve ever given them, went to funding that party. So I will use a different company, where that doesn’t happen.

Pay money to mullvad - > CEO gets part of that money - > CEO funds fascists - > fascists are being funded with your money.

Only bad management is keeping everything from being crazy fast. No reason for today’s programs to be slower than what we had a decade ago.

Also the Russians could cut the cable.

I don’t know, can you put it on a boxer?

… and in a country with rule of law whether a contractual clause is legal would be decided by a court, no?

Clearly you’re not lazy because you are exercising regularly by using the bike.

No love for those companies but just because you agreed to a contract doesn’t mean the clauses of the contract are legal or enforceable.

Legitimately most modern games or all of social media.

It is theoretically possible by using formal verification. Which is getting easier due to lean. But still impractical.

I don’t trust anyone with my data.

Where does slop start? If you use auto complete and it is just adding a semicolon or some braces, is it slop? Is producing character by character what you would have wrote yourself slop?

How about using it for debugging?

I also want to say that Linus is still the one merging things into the kernel and he is ahm… opinionated?

For others reading it:

ChatControl 1: allow scanning on voluntary basis (voted down twice recently)

ChatControl 2: mandatory scanning

They give you points if you send your old print waste there. Finally somewhere to sent that stuff.

In some places it currently takes months, involves sending the same data multiple times (in paper), and go to multiple different places in person. Of course every step also costs money. I definitely know people who would like to start a business but the unnecessary complexity and cost of doing it keeps them. For example in Norway or Estonia you can do it in minutes.

Its a fair point but if at least there was a common way to register them to social insurance etc… Probably a pipe dream.

The biggest headache is that you need a company in the country you’re hiring in. Cannot hire a German from France. That’s really the main headache.

What’s the endgame here?

“We pay you to emit CO2 so you don’t buy electric although its better”.

Fucking crazy.

Not just the politicians, the entire car and truck industry.

Lots of Polish really dislike Germany and Germans.
