I mean that’s just a trauma response. Hardly revolutionary. Most people with traumatic experiences have that.

Minimum wage is 12€, meaning $12.96, which is way lower than California’s for example. There is no paternity leave.

I am German. According to German law as I refer to here, the four weeks are calculated on a basis of a six-day work week, which in practice almost nobody works. Most people work four or five days, and the right to holidays is scaled accordingly.

I get 21 days off in a year. If I want to take Christmas off, that’s like three or four days off of that, plus my birthday maybe. Most people take like two different week-long holidays off throughout the year so they can spend some time with family.

Personally, I am more concerned with affording food or going hungry.

As a European, I just want to know where Americans get all these fairy tales about European life, lol. Do you think the people in France that they keep admiring so much are protesting because of nothing?

Stop pretending Europe is some kind of paradise. It isn’t. I don’t get the whole month of August off on paid vacation. That’s a straight-faced lie.

“What does that mean?” “It means strong opinions scare him.”

I dunno, the more I am here, the more “typical Redditors” I see around.

Oh no, the poor, oppressed Americans.

Leave it to Redditors to compare themselves to victims of racism.

You think Biden is a leftist and have an elementary school understanding of the American party shifts? Surprising.

You know what, that sounds super enjoyable. I’m going to do that.

It’s a front-end project written in C++; a desktop environment for Unix-like systems.

As far as I know, there’s volunteer “content moderators” on Telegram who have access to a very invasive moderation tool that allows them to read any (non-secret) private chat, private group or even the saved messages simply by username. The software they use was recently leaked, and it’s not really something I use anymore since.

Woo, my instance got called out! :D

You might want to contact the licensing team of the GNU project for that, I hear they have good lawyers who offer advice in these situations.

SourceForge went to shit when it was the de-facto location for free and open source software, now GitHub is where Sourceforge used to be. When will people learn?

Why not just use a GNU/Linux system?

It’s somewhat infuriating because the LARPers that run both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml really have nothing in common with the rich history of Marxism. They’re the same people who thought it was the peak of humor in 10th grade to put on a ushanka and blast “ear rape soviet anthem ten hours” in class. All of their opinions are based on “triggering the libs” or whatever country has a red flag and cool aesthetic. No Marxist literacy whatsoever.

Nobody can be 100% sure of some program’s security. However, the fact that anyone can look into the internal workings of a FOSS project means that a lot of people much smarter than you and I have their eyes on every detail of the code at all times. Plus, these projects are maintained by competent people who monitor everything that gets added to it thoroughly, so there is a very little chance of something malicious getting into a major project like that.

In comparison, nobody but the people working at Microsoft knows what Microsoft projects really do, since nobody can look inside. We just have to “trust” them. Which I do not want to do.

But the same people who coined that term made some software “open source” but under licenses that only allow looking, not touching.
