Eh, I'm a pretty big fan of democracy. I kinda think I would have supported the side that wasn't about hereditary dictatorship.
But clearly, a lot of history has happened since then.
So many people replying who would have been very wrong every other time he TACO'd.
Trump himself is an idiot but I’m sure there’s someone on his staff who realises that this would decimate the US tech industry.
The tech industry itself is probably bugging him about this. They're kinda on his staff, at this point.
He might TACO over the tech industry, but it's pretty clear at this point he's happy to bury labs and universities.
Big projects like Tor actually use GitLab, as well, which is a vote of confidence. Some of these other ones don't have the same obvious maturity.
I mean, I like a browsable GUI where I can look at a project in more or less detail, and without actually spending disk space.
I don't really bother until they're looking for an alternative.
When I've put people on Linux, to make an analogy, it's basically been because they entrust me with their choice of new computer, not because I won an argument about the relative merits of different software licences.
Most people IRL aren't even on Reddit, so Lemmy wouldn't make any sense for them. People might be on Twitter, but for whatever reason it hasn't come up, so no Mastodon either. Mostly I hear about Tiktok and Instagram for the young, and Facebook for the old. Pixelfed is Instagram-ish IIRC, but I'm not sure how active it is.
Edit: And if people want whichever platform they have the most friends on, well, they're obviously in the last 50% of the population you can recruit.
I mean, foreign languages can and sometimes are used to talk shit about people without them knowing. Speaking English in a non-English place is rude for that reason as well, to make it less bait-y.
If even brief, well-explained excursions into Spanish are punished, that's ideology or personal paranoia, though.
Sweden in particular has a really low income inequality but a really high wealth inequality. Swedes are underestimating how much they should invest, basically.
The universal advice for money you don't need right now is pay debts, then plan for emergencies (your family would help you, sounds like), then invest.
At 19, mathematically, you should invest mostly in equities (aka stocks) - they go up and down but earn like 10% a year on average (compounding), and you don't really have a deadline. The one trick is you can't panic sell when it goes down. You should diversify as much as possible, unless you can predict the future, and possibly nobody can.
Usually managing taxes and taking advantage of government programs is the third ingredient. I have no idea what that would be in Sweden.
Close to, to the point where it's actually just yes. Would you ever consider paying good money for a philosopher, if you were presented with a practical problem? Or, would you hire an engineer, doctor, plumber...
If you're hiring a philosopher for a non-specific or non-practical thing, you're actually writing a research grant more than anything, and that would be counted as academia.
Antidisestablishmentarian.
Why stop there when you can add one more modifier?
You seem like management material.
And that overhaul is both far away and likely to be extremely painful.
I always tell Americans to just try to get out. Failing that, it's about surviving and not making the situation even worse in the process.
