norway isn't in the eu -_-'

I can't even convince it to put the parameters in a function call in the correct order, despite repeatedly asking.

Interesting… all of my dad's 5.25 failed.

Unfortunately not in USA. I have no idea what the rules are here.

But this bank routinely violates EU directives so I'm sure if there's a rule they don't care about it.

My bank's webserver recently decided to drop connections when a firefox user agent is received.

No message, no nothing, just close the socket.

> Now, I also have family and contacts in various places in Southern Europe and South East Asia, some of which as very wealthy. What these ALL have in common is that various types of corruption and plutocracy are just facts of life that are taken for granted, and nobody cares.

Just remember that the corruption rates are about PERCEIVED corruption rates.

People in the south of europe are a bit more "street smart" than your average swede, and are aware of corruption even when a swede notices nothing strange.

For example the whole situation with the trams in göteborg, to any southern european it screems "corruption", but the swedes are completely unaware of that.

> Now my own hypothesis is that religion plays only a small role in this difference, and that this is mostly a consequence of the difficulty of surviving as a farmer in Northern Europe during the medieaval era, and especially in Scandinavia.

Sweden mostly survived through wars, and a little farming. The war museum in stockholm is quite informative about the past of sweden.

> This led to an egalitarian outlook, where people who wanted to live off the produce of others were not tolerated easily, regardless of whether they were beggars, thieves or barons. And since production was low, there was little to tax or steal, anyway.

There is nothing egalitarian about the farming society in sweden. In fact sweden didn't have the french revolution and still has medieval things that do not exist in most of the world… for example owning a house but not the land under the house is normal.

To be honest you sound like the typical swedish nationalist who has never set foot abroad (except the compulsory occasional week in thailand).

Bill Gates is a lot of talk but I suspect he's using his funds to push microsoft onto poor countries that would otherwise default to linux.

Ah so you're a troll, because that's NOT what you previously wrote.

I think it's perfectly normal and appropriate that people react badly to you if you behave like an asshole.

But python is already installed on most linux systems

Seems you haven't heard about the existence of SBOM

People needing to justify their job

Do you have any opinions or are you just trolling?

If you don't have the courage to voice your opinions in person, you're just a coward that knows very well has socially unacceptable opinions :)

Just FYI, copy pasting latin words which you clearly don't understand (or you wouldn't use them wrong) doesn't make your arguments better.

I still challenge you to try and tell people in their face what your thoughts are.

Some data backends have very very small limits for the data… so small that my 4096bit private key wouldn't fit.

You had never used vault uh?

I thought slack harmed itself ditching IRC bridge.

> That's a non sequitur. I never said everybody could or should be happy.

You should go to a homeless person and say to their face "you should always be a homeless person, it is right for you to live and die homeless".

After all not everybody should not be killed :)

In my experience that bit is more forgotten in protestant countries rather than catholic ones. As in, in catholic ones rich people aren't seen as model of virtue and everybody knows that "hard work" won't get you there.

I'd expect the real implementation to not be nearly as good as the demo shows.

I think the problem was "buy drugs online"

How happy can you be if you live in 1 room with 6 other people?

They want investments with short term returns… and basic science isn't that.

I'm sure you're completely unaware of the fact that your world view comes from protestant religion, which equates richness with god's favour, thus ending up considering poor people as worse sinners who don't deserve a better life due to their moral failings.

People of other religions and cultures don't necessarily share your same faith (I realise you think you're being completely rational, but to an external observer you are not).

Depends on the area… for example in my area OSM has all the mountain paths that completely do not exist on google maps.

Do you have a point to make? Maybe I should ask chatgpt to find it because I sure can't.

You're straying away. Let's talk about learning C.

Also humans didn't evolve in billion of years.

That's how you end up fat.

You mean the search engine that NEVER EVER gives me the documentation I'm locking for, but always goes for a vaguely related blog with hundreds of ads?
