I pinky-promise, I'll switch to proton from Google. Just maybe next month?

I was absolutely sure this was some USA-as-usual post on lemmy. How insane do you have to be to write something like that in a country with working labor laws?

I wanna see the prosecutors face, tbh.

Esperanto's equivalent would probably be Haskell.

Python is probably more like Spanish. Very easy basics, but then people from different regions of where it's has spread out barely understand each other

This is hilarious. I wish they'd properly publish it in something peer-reviewed.

I also don't never proof-read my shit posting on the internet tbh

Shoulda told them that they won't get it cuz it's not for girls' ears. An easy out-of-jail card.

Kamala has openly stated in the debate that she believes the only way is a two-state solution. Whether that's realistic or not, it's a pretty strong statement, and there's some hope on the horizon. Unless until she actually gets to do anything, da Joe will sleep through the conflict turning into the entire region being nuked to the ground by the IDF.

Fix your fuckin democracy already instead of posting trump bad memes on lemmy.

It's truly a world-news sub, cuz I was like "du-uh, where's the news?" until it hit me.

  • Far right has been on a steady rise
  • Refuges are gathered in concentration camps on Islands
  • Most recently everyone's fighting about who should get those refugees
  • There are within-the-eu border checks specifically targeting migrants

Tell me more about "sentiment". It's not sentiment, it's white/european supremacism being executed full force in plain daylight.

Turns out those are MRI machines, but they're at their regular price of 2mil per piece. 15 MRI machines is a lot. There are many hospitals even in the developed countries that can afford exactly one. And many that don't have one at all.

It's kinda like this: you walk dogs for a living, you vote left hoping that they'll come to power and print a lot of money and just pay for everything you need, one day your dream comes true and you wake up in Venezuela.

And as to why all sane countries have a forced universal healthcare insurance that will deduct from your paycheck exactly as OP described, and will do as an obligation by law, you can consider me copy-pasting this thing as an explanation:

P.s. you pulled 7% number out of your ass. It's exactly as I explained the "visible" part of the deductible. The actual number is precisely double, again as explained.

So, in total you might have a salary of 50k and you'll see 300 being deducted every month. Even though in fact the employer will have to also pay 300 to the insurance, making your actual gross salary 53.5k, and the actual deductible to be 600€.


I wanna see Lemmy's face when they'll realize this is not a singular incident and with all the various social security systems and taxes combined they'll end up with receiving on their bank account some 40-45% of what left their employer bank account to keep them employed.

But oh boy "600$ got deducted, corporate fascism, our USA is broken, please go look at the universal healthcare countries it's soo much better, I promise".

It actually is if you're poor. And if you're somewhere, where your deductible is 600$, you would've been much better off with an American system. Might not be ideal from a societal point of view, but you as an individual who has the means to use a 600$/m private insurance will absolutely be much better off.

And, so, believe it or not, Americans on those private corporate plans get a much, much better healthcare than folks in the same salary range enjoying the universal healthcare.

And if you don't understand how, why, and what's at play behind regulated and deregulated health insurance markets, then you do not qualify to be anti-work.

 

It used to be that simple: r/plexshares, click any link, join the server, watch all you want.

Well, they really cracked down on that. Plex purged the servers en masse, my server switched to some obscure emby, r/plexshares is closed for good.

I'm in a need of a new server. Where do I even go? What platform is best to sail the seas now? Jellyfin?

P.S. my torrent days are over, thanks. I'm not interested in self-hosting anything either, again, thanks. 10$/month is a reasonable subscription fee for an all-you-can-eat streaming service

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I understand that the battery degrades over time.

However, without any apparent reason I found my scooter does not charge above 51.6V while a full charge used to be 55.9V. (I own a Zero 9).

It hasn't been used for two weeks before this happened, but I left it roughly half-charged, which should be ideal for a long-term idle time.

Any clues on what's going on?
