GitLab is slower for me than that React GH app. Why would I move to GitLab?

Sure. It still doesn’t change the fact that their ancestors performed a genocide on the natives.
I ask you about drivers license, you tell me about the national ID.
Which parts of Europe have a town of where the person lives on their driving license? And what do you mean by “us”?
What kind of tyranny do you live in? None of the documents I have on me say where I live.

Why would I condemn people who were wiped by your ancestors? They were the locals, you’re just… temporary. You don’t even care for the land!
Since when the city one lives in is mentioned in the birth certificate?

You must have read headings only. It’s a useless slop past hello world. Lots of slop.

You are all immigrants there. You all came on boats, you or your ancestors. Killed almost all natives and claim you’re the legal ones.

Fully supported, until they sell it to someone.

There's no "one country making lithography machines". The mirrors come from Germany already. Other parts from about 160 other countries around the world. The EUV tech itself is an American invention and was picked up by ASML. That is why USA has the say in who gets it.

> How do you expect those people footing most of the bill to give up their status quo and voluntarily sign up for something like this?

If you do not see how someone like US or China can play 27 individual countries and divide Europe by propping one nation and discrediting another, for example recent Trump admin meddling with Poland, or Musk fiddling with German and Spanish government, then it's going to be difficult having this discussion with you.

Another aspect... Spain stopped being a dictatorship 51 years ago, half of the continent was under Soviet influence until something like 35 years ago, communist for that matter. The continent has been consolidated over the last half a century. Painting EU as the root of all evil is not a way forward.

It's also a little bit more prevalent since after 5 or 6 comments you get soft-banned for hours, cannot have a decent discussion here anymore.
Almost, still the wrong website.
I like my pre-receive hooks.
Re:50 Years of the Jetsons: Why the Show Still Matters on Tuesday February 03, 2026 @11:28AM (#46873115)
The point isn’t about the tech, there’s a different balance of tech vs society in Star Trek and The Jetsons. You see, in Star Trek only a selected group travel far and beyond. The rest sits on this planet. You don’t watch Kirk speaking to his robot cleaner, sending kids to school, and flying shopping.

> As Graydon points out, “The Jetsons” was a projection of the model American family into the future.

This is a completely different setting than Star Trek Fleet Command thing.

> - 6 months of "probation", with only 2 weeks of notice

Talk to Arbeitsamt, hiring in Germany is a huge risk as soon as your company is 10+ people. By the way, the two weeks notice goes both ways. There’s a risk on both sides.

> - And all after 4-6 years of degree/s and 4-5 years of experience (so around 10 years of investment)

Everyone is a Doktor there so your investment is most likely worthless. You did your reps at the Uni, profs instilled into you that you’re crème de la crème, but can you do the job, or are you just good at following orders.

Only when you’re next to him smoking. Don’t blow it out of proportion. Life: a sexually transmitted disease with 100% mortality rate.

The cofounder is a Russian national, studied in Moscow. Possibly worth massaging that into your threat model.

> I don’t know, I’m not the one smoking. That’s their problem to solve.

It’s your problem not theirs. It bothers you, not them. They probably don’t even know it bothers you. Are you really surrounded by smokers and cannot open a window all day and night? Dude, let me tell you… you’re making your own life difficult. There are full buildings where smoking is forbidden. Make your own life easy, don’t harass others with your truths. If you don’t care why do you expect others to care.

> I don’t think they’d like it if I left a bucket of rotting fish on my balcony.

Are you comparing a cigarette smoke to full infestation?

So does poor hygiene, smelly dog, a strong perfume you like but maybe not everyone, a newborn poop smell. And for all of those we have washing machines.
Maybe people come and ask him all sorts of questions, and he simply wants to be nice.
Re:I taught my neighbor to keep the volume down on Sunday February 01, 2026 @08:34PM (#46851354)
Yeah, it’s simply pissing me off that no person noticed the only abnormal behaviour here is the dude labelling the whole category of human beings as “awful” without trying to understand their motives. Selfish and entitled on a boss level.

Are those who smoke on a top floor balcony also awful? Are those who smoke on a balcony of a multi-storey building they live alone in also awful people?

Re:I taught my neighbor to keep the volume down on Sunday February 01, 2026 @08:28PM (#46851309)
You want to have children? Cool. Made a mistake? Deal with it. Don’t make it sound like you are doing others a favour by having children though. “The society” will be fine without them. There are plenty out there nobody cares about.
Re:I taught my neighbor to keep the volume down on Sunday February 01, 2026 @08:25PM (#46851293)
Maybe. Go and ask them. Maybe they are truly awful people, maybe they are old or ill, or disabled. Go and talk to them, then start labelling them x and y. See? No one got the idea. All “you” want is that nobody bothers “you”. But thinking from the perspective of others? No, that’s too difficult. The best realisation I had in life was that I am pissing others off for some reasons, as they piss me off for some other reasons. Unfortunately the majority of the lovely “society” doesn’t have that realisation.
Re:I taught my neighbor to keep the volume down on Sunday February 01, 2026 @04:45PM (#46849698)
The correct question is “have you found a smoker who smokes on a balcony”.
Re:I taught my neighbor to keep the volume down on Sunday February 01, 2026 @04:24PM (#46849511)
I’d tell him “no worries I will pay more attention next time”.

Should’ve could’ve. If the grandma had a beard she would be the grandpa.
If they don’t let you buy, you don’t own. If you don’t own, how is that insurance even available to you?
