Location is the most iportant, meaning that the realistic option is appartment

• Can get fresh breakfast on the week-end with a 5 minutes walk, and do not need to plan a weekly grocery trip when I have everything down the stairs

• Do not need to drive home if I get a drink

• Have access to tons of activities within a reasonable distance, no matter whether I want to learn Korean, watch stand-up comedy or listen to underground heavy metal

• Kids can quickly get some autonomy compared to suburb where road are full of cars and parents need a car to go every where.

Clear and accessible policies, and in general HR being at least honest and consistent with what’s written there. I know what kind of hotel I can book, or whether I am eligible to an upgrade when travelling, and don’t have to ask to get my double-pay when working on sunday. It’s a pitty that this bare minimum isn’t guaranteed in many employers

Thunderbird on Desktop, and K9 on mobile

Regarding e-mail provider, I used to recommend proton, but they end-up supporting the current US administration like anyone else, so I would say buy a domain and use the associated e-mail

Social reproduction of the elites. Which is the advanced version of kids do the same job as their parents

Getting with parents with money and connection is a huge cheat code. While some people have to work to pay their rent at university, some other have their parents buying them an appartement. Guess who can afford to volunteer in a political party, do art or develop software on the side ? Some people do have family with connection which means they’ll be able to meet the right person to finance their project while many other stop at this step. It’s why it’s hard to join the elite when your family isn’t part of the elite for multiple generations.

And many immigrant end-up at the lower-level of the social pyramid, their kids grow up with parents who have no money, no connection, and sometimes don’t even know the language. which make them harder for them to climb the “social ladder” a generation latter their kids don’t have nay kickstart, so it’s not surprising that very few are represented in position in power, even if their family has been around for over 100 years. And without any surprise the one who do often have been part of the elite before immigrating.

2-3 month unemployed, is the opportunity to take a break, move with some personal projects and take the time to find a nice job. Also it’s typically covered by both severance pay you got from your previous job and unemployment insurance. So it’s not big deal financially speaking (while resigning from a job you hate would make you loose your unemployement rights)

Focus on university course over “private certication” which are often full of bullshit and paid by companies anyway. The foundation you learn is what stays valid no matter what’s the technique you use.

To give a word on agile, it’s about having shorter development cycles and more intermediate release which are used by actual users. It works well in prototyping phase (when you have proper tools) and in software. However, many PM end-up making agile heavier more complicated/heavy than regular cycle with daily stand-up meeting and boards full of post-it. I would advise going in these type of projects without some technical background.

Also note that while project management looks cool (and is a way to grow your carrer quickly) it’s a field where you deal with a lot of bullshit out of your control. A person is sick for the week ? How do your re-organize the project ? A truck delivering a critical part has an accident ? How do you deal with it The certification lab asks finds that your cable at the European fire safety norm but not the US ones (or the other way around ? ) adding two month delay to change everything ? How do you announce the customer that the final delivery is postponed due to some paperwork ? You often end-up sitting between the engineer knowing what needs to be done, the upper management cutting down the budget and the customer wanting more. So not a job for everyone

In the 70’s fuel was cheap.

Nowadays, if I need to let the engine run for an hour, I can go to a michelin star restaurant for the same price. (OK it’s an over statement, but there is definitely cheaper and more optimal way to cook a meal on the road)

Might be more suited for !rpg@ttrpg.network.

The way I would understand it is the good old You are the chosen ones, and you need to absolutely get XXXX by killing monsters to prevent the doom of ZZZZ

So just a way to make PC use their ressources. It’s the kind of stuff which work in old-school RPG were ressource attrititon is a full part of the game. Modern RPG tend to drift away from the fight monsters in dungeon and removed or simplified the ressource management aspect (I love how Blade in the Dark let you declare your equipment on the fly rather than having long discussion about what you bring, save a lot of time for the players)

First question, why would we want monetization? people do amateur theatre, short movies for fun, volunteer do coach kids sport for fun so the whole society doesn’t have to be commercial, and even Wikipedia is mostly ran by volunteers.

I mean sure, federated instance and some authors may get government grant for culture (which would be better spend than for commercial movies, or all the government money spent in AI) but not monetizing won’t prevent people from contributing

It was easier as a student, but massive labour reform would be enough for me.

Classic billionaire were pushing for low tax, and low gouvernement spending, so they don’t give their money to the government. Musk is more the banana republic type billionaire, who is in favour of high taxes and government spending going in his pocket. As easy as it

Note that, at least for people using mbins, _ upvotes are public_ and while downvotes are hidden (Which is weird IMO), instance admins, and people who know how to use lemmy’s software API, can access them.

High ?

Not posting pay walled content Ignore it for everyone, even people having access to it

Posting it people without access can still follow the discussion, and some are quite important news

Each community has it’s own rules.

Many of us have access to pay walled media, so why block it for everyone?

reducing sales, therefore tanking Tesla shares.

The Tesla share is so much on a bubble, that the 60% drop in sales didn’t impact the share value at all. Between people not wanting to give their money to Musk, BYD attacking the EU/US market, and every brand offering some electric car this tendency will stay, I don’t see how Tesla is worth 20 times more than Toyota.

It’s a pitty that it’s so controversial to vandalize SUV but vandalizeing a Tesla is seen as fine. Tesla aren’t great for the climate either, but compared to SUV they’re way better.

This is IMO a risk for many individual owned fediverse instance. Someone has a domain, at a point other admin take over, and the domain owner doesn’t renew no matter whether they forget because real life happens or due to some Drama.

Very few instances have a clear legal organizational (like a non profit club) running, which is more flexible when founders step out
