  • nope, that's called due process under the rule of law. Innocent until proven guilty. His guilt doesn't seem to have been established beyond reasonable doubt, if I understand correctly.

    Now, if the police had turned up damning evidence, he would not have been sent home, but sentenced. And hopefully been put in jail for a very long time.

  • I mean, it's absolutely petty, yes. OTOH, while it worded as being aimed at EU users spending a short while outside of the US, it's very clearly aimed at non-EU citizens trying to also profit from the EU ruling.

    Example: if a US citizen takes a weeklong trip to Italy, they now have access to third-party stores, but Apple basically makes them unusable as soon as they're stateside. Can't have nice things.

  • so much this!

    I used to recoil at the thought of "networking" for similar reasons as OOP. I'd rather make smalltalk at a conference for exactly as long as it takesb to find someone to go ditch the entire thing with. I don't wanna talk shop for the sake of talking shop or "networking", I wanna go for a beer and talk about fully automated luxury gay space communism 🚀

    However, now that I'm professionally doing something that I'm interested in, things have changed a bit. I actually enjoy the challenges at my job and actively seek out people that (hopefully) know more about the pitfalls than me. I want to learn from other people! Hopefully I can pay it forward sometime.

    But now, all of a sudden, I'm networking. I know what Rebekah does over at Engineering and I know what Claude is trying to accomplish over at $competitor. They in turn know what's in my roadmap and where I might need support. They also know how I work.

    And now, every now and then I get a LinkedIn message alerting me to a professional learning opportunity or a job opportunity. Likewise, I keep Rebecah and Claude in the loop about things that might be interesting to them.

  • I would call you a sweet summer child, but I've stood in your shoes exactly. A while ago I had a serious bike accident because I slipped from the wet pedals and landed head first on the concrete. Doc in the ER told me I was able to walk it off because I was wearing a helmet (which now had a serious crack).

    I posted online about it and while a lot of people are logged the story with their own various tales, it was also the day I learned about the very vocal minority of bike riders who completely detest helmets. many of them go so far as to say that helmets are actively dangerous.

    Their arguments are mostly variations on

    1. there are no scientific studies on bike helmets
    2. good bike infrastructure should make wearing helmets obsolete (aka the Netherlands argument)
  • I mean, him stating a name and his motivations and verifying that it was indeed this man and those were his motives are two different things.

    I like journalism that verifies statements. Is there a man by that name and is he deceased? If the answer to those questions had been "no", it would have been an entirely different story.

  • I just wanted to downvote initially, but consider this:

    a) your premise is wrong ("I read somewhere") b) if it were true that there's some innate tendency in Dutch people to not want to strive for anything, how do you explain their fairly advanced society? c) if it were true, they'd also not have a functioning government

    your's isn't a good take

  • lots of good advice here. I just want to restate: do yourself a favor and migrate your HDDs over to any solid state drive. Whether that means "classic" SSDs with a SATA-Port or M.2s is your prerogative, but in either case you'll start wondering how you could ever stand that s pinning noise and the vibrations and the slow, slow data transfer.

  • Ernst gemeint: prüfe es trotzdem nochmal. die Anschaffungskosten für Balkonsolar sind dermaßen in den Keller gerauscht, es könnte sich auch für euch zumindest irgendwann amortisieren. aber wie gesagt: vorher durchrechnen.

  • I mean yes, that too, but there actually is a labor shortage as well. We have 2.7M unemployed people and 700k open positions (source).

    However, we need to account for

    a) unemployed people that are not able to work due to illness etc b) those 700k open positions are only the ones that are reported to our labor agency (Arbeitsagentur).

    If you account for that, we probably have closer to 2M open positions.

    Imho 2M open positions makes more sense as there about 100k open positions in child care (Kita) alone.
