Will this increase the quality of our weather and climate models?

The sad thing is that even if you really wanted to go off the grid, live in a cave, and rediscover the fire, you wouldn’t be allowed to.

Let’s see how well this quote ages as subscription services become ubiquitous.

He’s referring to the working conditions.

It’s a management decision. Even if the responsible developer left, the next in line would take up the job. We work for a living and there is little choice in ethical companies you can join for adequate pay.

It does matter in terms of ease of use. Some have apps, some don’t. A non-linux-native might have difficulties with the latter.

Sir, what are you looking at? Are you even listening?

All

We could just install some heat pumps in hell and transport the energy via flux pipeline to the overworld.

This sounds almost perfect. I’m missing the option to install a custom ROM or as you said specs on support.

Nobody wants to work anymore

B bu but wh what are you n now?

I would go this route as well. As a developer this sounds easy enough. It you don’t get vertical sequences of images, but instead a grid of images, then I would apply traditional image stitching techniques. There are tons of libraries for that on github.

Arr, me heart be green with envy, it be!

Yes, I was wondering about the same thing. However, I haven’t been active in relevant communities since a few months after the covid crash. So, I don’t know “what’s up” with the market.

But I think ETFs are still valid. Due to the once-in-a-lifetime events of the past years, I think it’s just many companies having difficulties and a similar amount of other companies doing great. Hence the sideways trend. Or its just the rich controlling the trading being more conservative and buying out everytime they can.

This needs more visibility

Thanks, I didn’t know!

There are really only two search engines. Its either Google or Bing. The others exist, but they use Google’s and/or Bing’s search results.

I would argue that Germany is not a socialist country. Politics are targeted at the already wealthy and cooperations.

I’m not versed enough in politics and history to give detailed examples. I’m just a normal guy. However, I’m currently listening to the Jung & Naiv podcast on Spotify.

In episode 661 they discuss the development of the housing sector since the 1950s and very little in the 18th century. The important information is that the housing sector grew from being socialist to being a housing market.

I think they mention that in the 50s there existed a “Kostenmiete” (Cost-rent). That would only be allowed by law to be as high as it needed to be to cover the costs for building the house/flat. The owners were not allowed to make profit exceeding 3.5%. Any profit had to be put into housing again to keep the housing sector growing. Around that time the state was heavily supporting housing unions and other groups (not cooperations) to build housing. The state itself built 500.000 !!! appartments a year. Last year the interview says they built 6 appartments. Six, in case you thought you read a typo.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least in the housing market we are not socialist anymore and it becomes worse every year. Education becomes worse every year. The medical sector becomes worse every year. Public transport becomes worse every year. Loans do not keep up with inflation. Everything becomes more expensive.

Yes, we are better off than many. But are we not just richer slaves with more benefits than others? The interview says that there exist studies that estimate 11 million households to qualify for social housing. In some cities that is 60% of their population. 60% quality for social housing. Are we alright?

As a German, I think I would. Given that it is good and just.
