I've just looked it up and I've paid ~300€ last year. But only because I neglected to tell them, that I've started training for a new job so my dues would actually be much lower. I've just changed it and this year I will pay maybe 30€ or so
Edit: My math was way off ^^' it's actually more like 150€/year right now.
Though they do take a percentage of income before taxes, so I think it's still very fair.
I work in IT. My boss is by all accounts very competent in both programming and administration, yet all his documentation basically says "remember to set DoTheRightThing=True"
Edit: I just looked up the documentation for an internal service and under "Error recovery" it just says "The output of command xy should make sense". fml
Ich bin letztens in meiner deutschen Großstadt über eine Fußgängerbrücke geschländert, hab die 32 Grad im Spätsommer genossen und neidisch auf den Gridlock unter mir geschaut. Was wäre ich gern ein Autofahrer. So viel Freiheit, so viel Unabhängigkeit. Davon kann ein U-Bahn-Hahnrei wie ich nur träumen...
Absolut richtig, was du da sagst. Ich war da auch etwas stammtischig unterwegs :D
Ich habe mich letztes Ostern mit einer entfernten Verwandten über diese Themen angelegt. Zum Glück kann ich sie meiden, aber trotzdem steigt jedes Mal wieder eine unglaubliche Wut in mir hoch, wenn ich nur an die Situation denke. Weihnachten sehen wir uns wahrscheinlich wieder. Mal gucken ob sie respektiert, dass ich über solche Themen nicht sprechen möchte.
Fand den Peter Dingsbums an Anfang auch gut: "Die Ausländer bekommen 4.000€ pro Monat!" (Das sind übrigens bloß 444€ pro Person) "Meine Angestellten bekommen nicht so viel!" Ja aber warte Mal. Wer bestimmt denn, wie viel die Angestellten bekommen? denk denk Da müssen wohl die Ausländers dran Schuld sein...
Plot Twist: Muscle Mommys become a trend
You really had me in the first half there.
I feared you'd continue with "how convenient for her to get attention now", like people (especially women) are treated when they come out about abuse.
Thank you for being empathetic
The unborn are a convenient group to advocate for
Der letzte Kommentar mit den "Islamisten" die durch "Gedankenkontrolle" die "deutschen Mädchen" schwängern ist mir auch sehr ins Auge gestochen.
That's obviously all due to the hard work and visionary leadership of upper management
I think it's a mix of the way journalism works in the age of overstimulation (everything is the best/worst anyone has ever witnessed) and old(er) people being unfathomably tech-illiterate.
And I don't even mean that negatively. I often really am unable to fathom how disorienting even the slightest change in a software they're used to is to them.
If my mother were to use the birdsite, and they'd change their theme from blue to red one day, she would literally be unable to use it, because "it's all different now"
Also, mastodon does have some usability problems, though they are not that big imo.
Oof. An always online terminal with an AI that does who knows what with the things you type? I don't think so.
Also, Open Sourcing the client but not the server seems like marketing at best.
A quick Wikipedia also says that they basically run on investor money. Including Sam Altman and Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn who had three massive data breaches in as many years.
That's a hard pass for me.
It does look beautiful though
