Farming? I was talking about data engineering.

I don’t think she’s evil. But I’m pretty convinced she’s into girls or at least bi-sexual for some reason.

Before people started measuring time, a day was a day. People worked when they felt like it and stopped before it got dark.

When we started quantifying time, it didn’t take long before time suddenly became a commodity. All of a sudden bosses would pay by the “hour”, and no longer by what they got in return.

Then, they started regarding the hours that they paid for as “theirs”, demanding workers to keep breaks short or peeing in bottles.

As soon as the range exceeds the mileage people can drive in a single day, there will be a gigantic uptick in EV sales.

If artists would actually get paid fairly by Spotify that would be a good model.

Until about 100 years ago music artists would get paid for playing live only. Then music reproduction became possible, and lo and behold, companies started making a profit off of popular musicians by reproducing their music and taking a share, just because they could afford the technology.

Then, reproduction came into the hands of regular people, and you could reproduce music at home, bypassing the companies that profit off of the musicians. So copyright laws were drafted to protect mostly the companies making a profit off of musicians.

Now we’re going back to the situation of 100 years ago: musicians need to play live to get paid. But reproduction does still make them famous without them having to travel. So that’s a plus.

And you can argue Spotify has to.pay for infrastructure and app development, but that technology is in the hands of individuals as well nowadays. So what do they actually offer, on top of the work of creative people making music? Not much. Yet they become more expensive every year. And the only people getting richer are their shareholders.

I noticed that when I go from the first page to the next (on old.reddit.com), I see almost the exact same posts. So nowadays I’m done after one page. It’s pretty convenient.

Of course they want to politicize this. And the EU is being far too careful here, these amounts are only 1.5% of the maximum penalty. They got off easy

The attacks will continue until morale improves

Of course it is. I hope that’s not true. Where did you read this?

The fact that this is an actual question nowadays would absolutely stun the me from 2005

“I was really quite shocked and appalled by the picture you sent after grandma passed away. I especially wonder why you’d be smiling like you were. What was going through your mind/what were you thinking?”

Would be a very valid question in my opinion, asked in an adult way.

Regardless of your aunts motives, you are allowed to feel the way you feel, and to speak up about it. Best that can happen is she’ll understand and apologize, worst is she’ll be ashamed and defensive.

What if everyone would transfer their PayPal credit to a regular bank account on the same day? Would that bring Paypal value down?

Pretty satisfied with kmail/infomaniak

From a purely “vote with your wallet” standpoint it doesn’t make sense, because there’s no money paid. However, one might worry about data/information getting in the hands of a fascist/compromised government. So I think people should judge this themselves case by case.

I deleted my Disney plus and Amazon prime accounts last week and it felt so damn good.

Sorry I misread: not crowdfunding assassinations, but the Ukrainian government and defence forces.

I actually love this idea of anonymous crowdfunding by the masses. But how could we make this happen? I guess it would have to be initiated from the Ukrainian government.

Damn the bullies in your school had a field day with you, didn’t they? They can take your milk and you would offer them your lunch too. Because conflict is bad. Surprise, sometimes violence is actually the answer. Whether we like it or not.

Crazy idea here: would it be possible to have a model where everyone’s phone is a mini personal instance, syncing with others when the user opens the app? When a phone is offline that phones content would be unavailable too, but that is part of the truly decentralised model.
