GMAIL in the web is so shitty, I literally switched over to another provider. I don't know how anyone can use them as their webmail client. You can't make sense of longer mail threads with forwards, answers etc. in between - it be

It is just as easy to cook a meal from fresh ingredients. What exactly do you classify as "ready-to-make"? I am incredibly allergic to the U.S.-American understanding of cooking as this unfathomably difficult task. No wonder there

This is great, your suggestion to replace our sovereignly hosted VMs is to run containers in the U.S.A.? I don't blame people for being skeptical

These schools, at least here where I am in Europe, have to provide their pupils with devices. How else would it be fair?

If the quality of parenting is so bad that it harms societal well-being as is being argued here, yes. It ought to be a license that one can reasonably obtain, though. One can link government benefits to it, like Austria does with the Mother

Yes, it's 100% legal in multiple EU countries.

Just because the U.S.A. does it, it is by no means normal. We here are not used to such contradictory laws that arbitrarily strip us of our rights. This is also why it feels perversely inorganic and unnatural, as does all regulation that is

by rcbdev 5mo ago
So introduce that license.

Yeah, in Austria this includes 5 weeks mandatory PTO, unlimited paid sick days, which you can actually take without getting fired, and paid maternity and paternity leave - a senior developer will get around €75-80k a year. Consulting rates

Would it be sadder to you if the family had lower numbers on their bank accounts?

Eating factory farmed meat is seen as very low-class and irresponsible in my immediate vicinity. I have a hard time imagining any of my work colleagues admitting to eating factory farmed meat, even if they do due to cost reasons. But farmer

If Google really is stupid enough to send collectors for this, they have every right to be sued for obviously deceptive business practices.

Google is in dire need of more consumer protection lawsuits.

by rcbdev 5mo ago
Where do you live that consumer protection is this bad? Of course you can cancel any gym membership at their physical location, as long as you can also sign up at these physical locations. What idiot lawmaker would allow a system where you

Then ban McDonalds. Ban cigarettes outright for all. Give federal funding to healthy alternatives. Raise tax on sugar 200%. Alcohol 500%. Use federal funds to make cities walkable. Give police the mandate to enforce more action on violent c

What does any of this mean? Greetings from Europe.

What the fuck is your problem?

If you start talking about salaried work, you have to account for Austria's 5 weeks of mandatory PTO, infinite paid sick days (with a pay reduction after 6 weeks, clock resets each year), additional paid care leave (Pflegefreistellung)

The U.S. Americans really give Hassan Piker this much importance? Wow. I thought he was just a washed up Twitch streamer.

Software developers average about 80 - 120€/h in Austria. How are UK rates so bad?

This would be borderline illegal in most countries. Not very enforcable, sure, but illegal.

I would be very interested where you got some of these misconceptions and half-truths.

I end up explaining this term to every junior developer that doesn't know it sooner or later, the same way I explain bike shedding to all PMs that don't know it... often sooner, rather than later. It seems to really help if you ca
