@f4grx @lukeweston @lucysrausch @tedyapo @softminus @CopSub @ssshocker @GlytchTech @thephysicsgirl @Ascii211 @toybuilder @acassis @4jawjan I've finally started looking and many instances just dont take new users these days :D I've applied for membership in one of them.

@GergelyOrosz Cant you use a different service where you are? I would stop using a service using push notifications for ads immediately.

I turned off notifications for Uber Eats after I got really really annoyed w the app abusing this functionality to send ads. In the past, I met the courier and handoffs took seconds. Now, I often miss it and have the courier wander around / call me. The price of shady ads 🤷‍♂️

@hotdogsmayo @RaveaudGilles @ChloeRidel @OlafScholz Pas plus tard qu'hier à la Deutschland Funk (France inter version teutonne, donc), le journaliste parle bien des relations* franco-allemandes. Relations avec le mot pour les relations de couple (Verhältnis), pas relations génériques (Beziehung).

@RaveaudGilles @ChloeRidel @OlafScholz Du côté français c est un couple franco allemand, du côté allemand la France est un partenaire économique ! Il faudrait peut être que la vision française s addapte a cette triste réalité ! C est de Gaulle qui disait, un pays n a pas d ami mais des intérêts !

L’Allemagne s’est trop souvent comporté comme un éléphant, écrasant les autres pour son confort. Elle s’est accrochée à un modèle délétère. Elle doit en changer, dans son intérêt et celui de l’Europe. @OlafScholz parle de changement d’époque: qu’il accorde les actes à la parole.

@hazelweakly I'm delighted with my current job, because as I told my colleagues I love working with "smart and kind" people.

@MelakaBD Eh, comment veux-tu qu'ils soient à la manif pour l'encadrer, quand ils sont déjà sur place, dans le cortège avec des pancartes? [/humour noir]

POURQUOI quand des lycéens, des vieux, des gilets jaunes, des infirmières ou des pompiers appellent au secours, ils sont là avec leurs matraques et leurs lacrymos, toujours. Mais quand des ultraviolents hurlent leur haine des étrangers, il n'y a personne ?!! C'est terrifiant !😱

@RaveaudGilles @X__Alternative C'est impressionnant, mais rien d'extraordinaire. Ce qui est triste c'est qu'on ait conservé et construit si peu de savoir-faire et de capacité industrielle. Je ne sais même pas comment on pourrait reconstruire ce qui a été sciemment sabordé.

@X__Alternative Je n'avais jamais vu une chose pareille !

Les chinois ont inondé (et tué) le bas de gamme européen, apparemment ils ne comptent pas en rester là. Que font nos gouvernants ? Des crypto actifs. Chacun son truc.

@KantBe_ @X__Alternative Pire qu'abandonné au sens "bon bah tant pis", mais sciemment sabordé, comme strategie du "laissons les usines au tiers monde et on conservera la valeur ajoutée avec le tertiaire". Le truc idiot au possible...

@X__Alternative C'est pas de la faute aux crypto-actifs si le gouvernement a abandonné l'idée d'un quelconque développement industriel ;) Après, ça change rien au résultat...

@GergelyOrosz I would think the £600 a day you charge 1s a contractor cant directly be compared to a pre-tax salary: there are more costs for the contractor.

As for the numbers; I was also an SDE2 and in 2014 I was making £68K + bonus (around 10%) + stock ($10K spread over 5 years). So ~£75K/yr. As a contractor, he started charging £600/day, which was ~£140K/yr, assuming working the same # of days (taking 25 days/year holiday).

I still remember my surprise when a really good software engineer colleague of mine at Microsoft/Skype in London announced they quit and told me the reason why & what next: "Money. I want to make more to save more and buy a house. I'm becoming a contractor." It made me realize:

Sometimes it's hard to know why prices are going up. Between the oil shock, a tight employment market and the climate polycrisis, is it even possible to tell if companies are using the widespread *belief* in inflation to hike prices? Uh, yeah, we *absolutely* can. 1/

@docteurbagarre Ah ben oui t'as raison, continue dans ton gros SUV en ville du coup!

J'adore comment les gens militant pour un remplacement total de la voiture par le vélo : Oublient tous les gens incapables de faire du vélo Oublient les gens qui n'ont pas envie de suer comme des porcs avant d'arriver au taf Et ma préférée !

@20PercentBerlin @rbb24 @Tagesspiegel @morgenpost Im sure the monthly ticket would have been even more successful if they didnt release it the way they did. 29£ was my upper limit, and I gave up when I saw what I would have to do to get it (I dont commute or use the bvg that often and would buy this more as support)

@bkerogers How heavy is a cybertruck? How big is it? Can someone point him to there: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimede…

@thetoitoi @KyivIndependent Didn't you get the memo? Putin said he won because 99% of voters (0.02% of population) "voted" in favor of annexion. So, they can retreat since they won, I guess?

@KyivIndependent So they confirm that a Russian city has been captured? Their annexation makes no sense

⚡️Russia confirms defeat in Lyman, Donetsk Oblast. According to Russia's Defense Ministry, Russian troops have pulled out of the strategic city, fearing encirclement. Russian troops have been occupying Lyman since May.

@OluJosue @Carnage4Life I can proclaim Im king of Germany because I strongarm two random people to vote in favor of it. Doesnt make it a reality. His nuclear threats are empty because he cannot execute them and win. He only wins if Ukraine and allies believe them and back down.

@Carnage4Life Dude just annexed 4 regions to his country & you say he has been defeated.

@mattyglesias So what? If Putin is dumb and desperate enough to push the big red button, then yes many of of us die. I personally don't care because I have little control. I certainly wouldn't want Ukraine and its allies to back down because of these threats (which I think are empty anyway).

Everyone is surprisingly chill about the clearly elevated risk of nuclear war.

@Erich69122105 @KyivIndependent You mean if they send tactical nukes on the battlefield, ie the regions they supposedly annexed and are now "their land"? Or what?

@KyivIndependent Are there any plans for the case that Russia attacks Ukraine with tactical atomic weapons?

⚡️ Ukraine’s military destroys Russian equipment in southern Ukraine.

@GergelyOrosz Another case of customer isnt the end-user, so product gets optimized for the wrong parameters.

The worst mobile app I’ve been forced to use was the Concur iOS app years back. It felt like they tasked a team to make the UI as unintuitive as possible, making it as painful as can be to record an expense. And one that breaks when a connection drops. Has it improved since?

@betc0in @peorg @baunov @DAlperovitch If you had followed the news in the past few months you'd know there is a war going on in Ukraine, and Russia is pushing its border forward by occupying Ukrainian territory. The trick would be to say "this is now my land, if you attack to take it back then you're the aggressor".

@peorg @baunov @DAlperovitch What the f means "foreign troops crossing Russia's border, even if the border has just moved"? A rational person would ask himself: For this hypothesis to be true then what the f are doing foreign troops (read NATO) crossing Russia's border?

THREAD 1/9 Today, with no warning, amendments to Russian law were introduced to the Duma & immediately passed in 3 readings. They bring Russia much closer to full mobilization & stipulate harsh penalties for failing to report for military duty, surrendering, or refusal to fight.
