While money doesn’t but happiness the absence of money surely makes happiness almost impossible with how much you always have to worry about different stuff…

I’m very thankful to be in a position where I don’t have to worry about which supermarket has the cheapest groceries as I know I can afford it if it’s 10% more expensive than it needs to be - seeing my mom spending hours going through ad-magazines to figure out where to buy what only to save a handful of euros is something I’m very glad I don’t have to do

I wonder how a strictly linear thread structure is possible to transpose into a branching structure like lemmy

Now they only need to make the CO2-prices high enough that you are not paying double for spending a day in train instead of flying

The most basic difference between “left” and “right” on the political spectrum is that left-leaning people believe every human is worth the same and should get the same chances while right wing people believe humans are fundamentally different and the ones on the top deserve their place as much as the ones on the bottom.

That’s also why so many libertarians (or just recently proclaimed anarcho capitalists) are actually right-wing since they believe in unequal distribution of chances and quality of life based on capitalist principles and it’s also why moderates that claim to be neither right nor left usually lean more right

I don’t know how it is in the us but here in Germany many (single-brand-)dealers are also licensed mechanics (for that brand) - and since EVs are taking much less repairing than traditional cars they are basically shooting themselves in the foot by selling them

The main upgrade they need is the processor because the companies making those are not supporting newer Android-Versions and at some point that becomes a security-issue.

Problem is that replacing the processor to a newer generation usually means the whole mainboard is obsolete, too and then is very quickly doesn’t become easy to upgrade anymore

just switching between different types of cameras, screens etc. wouldn’t be as big of a problem but that’s also not part of the main-problem either

Sounds fair /s

Good thing the US doesn’t recognise international law since actively making people stateless is one of the big “do not do” things in that law

I think the us is the only country tying taxes to citizenship instead of where you live or work

Or at least it’s the only one that’s relevant for European authorities since that’s the only country everyone gets asked about while paying taxes

Solving security issues with the fingerprint scanner by not supporting it in the first place?

Do payouts for creators increase if people that watch them have premium? If not you are not buying it for the good content but for the service infrastructure

And it’s not just the salary for the representatives but they all also have a state-paid office and staff - so yeah…

There have recently been reforms to make the districts bigger to get less direct representation in total resulting in a smaller size overall.

I’d expect that especially with a 2-party system it’s not as bad as you calculated though since the worst problem here is that a local party from Bavaria is winning almost all the direct representation spots there but gets way less votes in total in Germany which results to every other party sending way more people than they would need

You could do it as Germany does it and have a first past the post for local representation but then scale up the size of the parliament to actually represent the amount of relative votes per party.

Tbf right now that makes our parliament the 2nd biggest in the word which is fucking expensive but at least you have representation and actually having your vote matter in region that’s deeply one-sided against for party

The problem is breaking up the network effect from messaging apps.

Noone is uninstalling WhatsApp since there’s always that one guy you need to keep in contact with that refuses to change.

Having aggregators like this is helping break up this

If only there was a law forcing messaging services to open an API for free choice of 3rd party apps…

Liberals are always the first to fall in line with fascists - the first regional governments of the Nazis in Germany was supported by libertarians and pro-economy-parties, a couple of years ago. 3 years ago the Neo-Liberal party in Thuringia accepted to govern as a minority-government when the only party supporting them was the far-right AfD with a leader that you can legally call a fascist and that is under surveillance by the Verfassungsschutz for being a danger to democracy.

The CDU (moderate-conservative party) in Germany also won’t work with either the left party nor the AfD but their local politicians are already getting very close with the AfD.

If someone’s claiming “both sides” in a political issue that’s usually a sign that they won’t oppose the fascists when they try to grab the power

What would you expect “-1 month” to do for a date like 31st of March? Would the result be the same as for “-1 month” on 29th of March?

If you go back 2 months so the 31st is existing again - should that mean that the result of using -1 month twice should be different to using -2 months?

I think it’s just a stupid way to implement something like this as “month” isn’t a defined size so defining it with a fixed value and documenting it properly is a decent solution but noone should use that kind of function in the first place

I read that that might lead to an extremely short time until the budget has to be done by the new government though which might lead to the president dissolving the parliament in the worst case? Or is that just fearmongering?

As a bonus PiS has more time to cover their tracks and destroy documents and just cause as much damage to the system as they can.

They are fully aware that the structures they built against the opposition can now be used against them and it will be very interesting to see how much the new government will use that power and how much restraint they will show for the sake of doing the right thing

Who’s bombing the Kurds for years?
