To people crying socialism, this is not something the government has decided. It's been negotiated between McDonald's Denmark and the workers' union.
To everyone whining abt taxes: In Scandinavia (and the EU), nobody needs to work two or three jobs or > 40 hours a week. People earn a decent living from that 1 job. People can afford rent and food, daycare is cheap and you don't need to pay for healthcare.
That McDonald's worker is not working poor, she doesn't need food stamps or a second job.

Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance

Because nothing is too low for Amazon to abuse. This and MANY other reasons are why I've been boycotting that shit company since the year 2,000.

Reason: the admin is a nazi who says we need to close all Holocaust museums because Jews did not โ€œlearn their lessonโ€ from it.

You just called "nazi" the "n word", I'm not sure if that's more or less outlandish than calling for the takedown of Holocaust memorials.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Oh Eugen, ยฟit was possible, that the owner of mastodon.social, will do the right thing for once?

Asking for the temporary close down of Jews museums, to separate themselves, from the #Israel #Zionist is a great idea. Many Jews are against israel.

Zionist killed 60000+ people and are #starving a couple of millions. Commiting #war #crimes and commiring a #genocide in #gaza and an #ethnic #cleansing, according to the #ICJ in #hague.

Stop programming for a few hours and read what the world says in mastodon. And don't pretend to be more clever or witty than the rest of the world and the ICJ judges.

Germany and germans are loosing this argument, big time, all over the world.

Israel are #criminals and #murderers since 1948. That is an historical fact as big as the Jewish Holocaust.

@fabio @staff Does the money other museums get also get reinvested in specific external causes or it this a bar you have invented exclusively for commemoration of Jewish suffering? You are proposing the erasure of history, not only of the Jewish people, but Roma and Sinti, the LGBT and the disabled, as revenge for what the Israel government is doing, as if all Jewish people are responsible for it. This is not a normal opinion.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron @fabio @staff

With respect, no he isnโ€™t. Heโ€™s expressing an opinion that using an historical tragedy to mask abhorrent behavior now is unacceptable. He is entitled to his opinion, as are we all.

He is not suggesting that the offending museums should be closed or that their portfolios should be distributed elsewhere or erased.

The โ€˜different barโ€™ is a fair comment, but argue this point, not some other invented offence.

it's more reason to boot Ubuntu out of my team and switch to Arch or Manjaro for development.
in reply to It's FOSS

Ubuntu has been confusing me lately. They keep making sweeping changes that rework their entire distro away from the common standards. Yet they seem to be doing so based on extremely shallow reasoning? Why streamline? What bug are your trying to resolve? I know it ain't a size problem cause server isos are tiny. Are they bored?

TLDR; Why they streamlining and please tell me they have a default alias for wget to wcurl?

"turn your audience into a business." - mmm... are you sure you thought it through? i am pretty sure mastodon tries to be an antithesis of multiple, well know companies trying to turn people into a business.

@fmn I think you misunderstand our company ethos. We're against platform monopolies that inevitably exploit users. We're not against people using social media for business! Plenty of artists, musicians, YouTubers and journalists here on the fediverse for whom social media is how they earn their living.

People are talking about leaving Spotify because the CEO is a douchebag, so let me remind you that you can stream radio stations from all over the world for free with Radio-Map. It's been my primary source of music the past few weeks. I'm a little biased because I built it, but I've never invested in a company that's building dystopian killing machines, so you can stream guilt-free.

I'm updating satellite numbers for yet another talk.

There now 8,077 Starlink satellites in orbit, 1,240 have already been burned up in the atmosphere, depositing all their metal, plastic, and computer bits in the stratosphere as weird vapour (data from planet4589.org/space/con/conliโ€ฆ)

12,238 active satellites now catalogued. The fraction of Starlinks is actually holding pretty steady lately because so many other operators have started launching. Over 200 satellites launched this month.

in reply to Prof. Sam Lawler

It's been 3 days since I put in these numbers and just to make sure I am super angry as I go to bed, I checked again.

There area now 8,093 Starlink satellites in orbit, out of 12,308 total active satellites. 1,243 Starlink satellites have burned up.

As with almost everything else happening, this is so fucking stupid, and I'm going to keep yelling about it. To calm myself down, I'd go outside and look up, but guess what I'd see?
