Yep, that’s exactly it. I wonder how many ppl can’t quit masturbating, start to believe that they are addicted to porn/masturbation and start feeling bad accodringly, while all there was to their “addiction” was loneliness they tried to fix with the wrong tool.
Or you’re a muggle because fuck you we ain’t helpin’ ya!
So if piracy was “widespread and natural” it’d be bueno?
Well, having a newborn myself right now, that baby is sitting too upright, so it’s heavy head is sinking into the shoulders way more than it should, giving it that squashed look.
You need to always remember that the patient in such a situation is at the lowest possible point. You cannot make “dead” any worse. So “risks” don’t apply in that moment.
Or, as a paramedic I knew said when someone asked him about the same question: “Whatever happens, it won’t kill him”
thanks for your detailed answer :) So it’s really just another “Solution in search of a problem” kind of deal, since the whole concept “decentralises” a conecpt that is already decentralised (BitTorrent) but with a little Cryptocurrency because of course it has Crypto.
Now I just need to find out what Piped does with it, since all it’s content is supposed to be on YouTube, right? So searching for content can’t be it’s purpose… I think.
Well… that’s one way to answer someone who very clearly asks “I did some searching but couldn’t understand the results, please explain what’s going on to me”.
The PDF situation all over again
Oh, it is silly and it is stupid. Yet, it’s how EA acted under Johnny here. That’s the time they were regularly voted as the worst US company. They pulled this with so many things (“Fun surprise mechanics”)
So the Unity stakeholders were less willing to let John do the "if you want something no one’s gonna accept, announce something even more horrible and then release a ‘we heard you’ statement where you announce the thing you wanted in the first place as comprise " bullcrap?
Yes, people here are absolutely fine with that. You probably come from a very different world culture-wise. First of all, second jobs are not the norm here. It’s rather rare, actually and most second jobs are hobbies you take money for, like photography or the like. Your employer will almost certainly not even bother to ask any further.
Secondly: your employer cannot object just because they don’t like your face. There are set criteria. They will object if your second job would conflict directly with your first job, that’d be if you work at a competitor, would have work hours in your second job that conflict with those of your first job or would work too much all together. That’s it.
There is a minimum wage that’s not too shabby (not good, make no mistake, but will prevent you from going hungry) and if a person is working but under the existential minimum, the government will basically put them on unemployment benefits and top up their salary to bring them up to said minimum. The system has faults, yes, and most people will do everything on their power to not be dependent on the government for that, but it will keep (cheap) food in the fridge.
Exactly, yes. The same goes for working more than 10hrs in a single day.
Edit: that does not apply to self-employed people. So if you work 90 hrs in your own company, that’s fine.
For German, there is a really cool series of YouTube Shorts starting with this one:
Just wanted to add that part of this may be a culture thing. Here in Germany, you are required to get your employers permission to get a second job or the like. Many of you might instinctively find this corporate BS, but in reality it’s mainly worker’s protection. No employee is allowed to work over 60 (I think) hours in a week. To make the companies stick to that, the government will come for them if any worker exceeds this number. Your employer has the responsibility to not let you exceed that, even across multiple jobs. That’s why you have to get permission for side hustles. There are other (not so pro worker) reasons for this, but that would go too far. Suffice to say that Lütke is German and this might be some thing he brought from Germany.
Idk where this upheaval always comes from when a Youtuber decides to not work for a while. If Dan Smithson in 69 Boredom-Boulevard, Unspectacular-City, Illinois decides to take a break from freelance-work, no one bats an eye. But if a Youtuber does it, everybody loses their minds!
Yeah, especially with Lemmy which is a lot more permanent than Mastodon is. You can screenshot your old toots but you can’t screenshot a userbase. There should be a way to migrate a community to another instance while keeping the subscriptions.
You xweet is why.
