I don’t want to argue against the concept and actually believe that the amount paid here is too low. What I tried to point out is that determining a good amount is difficult and arguing with work makes the matter more complicated.
The more pressing issue would be to make child daycare actually available.
You’re both right and wrong in my opinion. Children take to as much time as a job, for sure, and probably more. But if you consider it work to bring them to and watch them at a football / soccer match on the weekend that you should be reimbursed for by the public, you maybe shouldn’t have kids to begin with. You (hopefully) don’t have kids because you feel obligated by society, but because you want them.
It needs to strike a balance where this is accounted for.
South Korea, Japan, Germany, and many other countries “grappling” with decreasing birth-rates have to consider paying parents for children. They are a full-time job.
“Kindergeld” has been a thing in Germany since a very long time, and it’s per child. Does it pay like a full job? No… but parents do get paid.
NixOS […] some packages are kinda old
Fair
that server will be going back to debian next summer.
I don’t think that will solve the “some packages are kinda old” issue.
I’d guess this is less about MINIX vs. Linux and more about ultimately having 0 control over or insight into it.
Same for OpenRCT2, but they’re both not official entries in the series.
Atari hasn’t released anything positively noteworthy for RCT since 3… which turned 20 today if you’re in Europe.
“Yes, we ruined one of Sawyer’s series, but what about a second one?”
The only thing that feels off when playing it today are the somewhat finicky movements
Super Metroid is so good. But you’re right. The controls are… not great.
If you can live with playing a ROMhack, give Super Metroid Project Base a try. It feels so much better to play. The map isn’t quite the same as the original - I consider it an improvement, but it’s not exactly the same.
I just wish the SM /LttP randomizer had the option to enable the new movement.
Star fox 64? I can play the shit out of that right now.
Played this game a lot when it was new, then kind of ditched it completely later. But I often have to think about how good it actually was.
Played both as a kid and found them really cool
0 desire to touch them nowadays and wouldn’t recommend younger people to experience them
And it’s not like I don’t like the old games I played back then, I play a lot of Super Mario World from time to time (though in fairness exclusively ROMhacks except about every 10 years where I look at the original again). Sonic Adventure for me just didn’t age well.
But that’s fine, not every game has to be a timeless classic. I have good memories of the games and that’s what’s important
The joke being that he didn’t actually say it, same as Microsoft never stating 10 being the last version of Windows ever
What would be the utility for someone, who cares about privacy and currently uses Signal and email for communication?
Your organization can’t host a federated Signal server, and email isn’t private.
Is Matrix anything good already, or is it something with potential that’s still fully in development?
My previous organization has used it for over 4 years without issues, however mostly limited to text.
How tech savvy does one need to be to use Matrix?
Simply using? Not very much, basically like Lemmy.
Believe it or not, even the thugs beating down protests enjoy western luxuries… Or not having 20% inflation.
Plus, enforcing your government’s policies becomes a whole lot less attractive if all your neighbors dislike your employer. It all trickles down eventually.
And I don’t know if you noticed or not, unfortunately, the sanctions aren’t working that well… Maybe the answer is more sanctions? idk
I’m in favor of more of them, but I don’t think the current ones aren’t working. It was clear from the beginning that they’d be escalating so that Russia has a way out. They’re not using it so sanctions get worse.
Sure… Their anger will be directed at Putin, not at who actually imposed those sanctions.
I am worried that these sanctions will make them band together and support Putin even more.
And then what? They’ll go to war even harder? And if Putin is such a good leader, why doesn’t he just have Russia produce alternatives to the goods and services under sanctions?
The old status quo without sanctions got the world into the current situation. Why would keeping it the same fix it?
One could also make the opposite case for your logic: I am worried that without sanctions, people will see Putin as a strong leader, and as such hand together and support him even more.
We are entering the era of cyber-warfare, nation-state counter hacking, software and hardware sabotage, underground black and grey markets for both hardware and software.
We have entered that territory at least 10 years ago.
The rest I agree with. But I also think this is in fact the right move: you need to create pressure that hurts both the leadership and the people.
Qualcomm paying as much as other licensees should be preferable to Qualcomm than bankruptcy.
Not saying this is wrong, but where do you get it from? The article just states that ARM considers Qualcomm’s acquisition of Nuvia a breach of license. Both companies held ARM licenses before. What’s the issue with such a purchase?
What that monopoly got us: The C programming language, UNIX, UTF-8, among others
What the current tech monopolies yielded: yachts for the upper management
Welcome to Lemmy!
Unfortunately, I think most of the users here have no insight into every day Chinese life - myself included… in fact if not from your post, I would have had no idea this is a thing.
Anyhow, this is disgusting behavior, and I can’t really rationalize it.
Though for a lot of people, the source of grievance is pretty abstract. They could be victims of the system, and taking it revenge in that is difficult.
Yeah, but if I’m not mistaken not because they’re the same architecture, but because each WiiU had full Wii hardware inside it, so it was actually two consoles. The Wii was actually just a faster GameCube.
