This also impacts emulators and other re-implementations of proprietary systems. This allows Nintendo to threaten emulator devs and make it illegal to decrypt DRM encrypted games, media, or apps you legally purchased.

Proprietary software is also really dogmatic. Steve Jobs famously didn’t support flash on the iPhone, there also was no direct access to files/file system in the UI for a very long time. Tim Cook told someone’s Mom to just buy an iPhone to access iMessage. There’s too many user hostile dogmatic positions from Apple.
I think this has nothing to do with open source vs proprietary, but rather specific individuals having power/control over the software to force specific decisions.
Valve’s Steam Deck is the only piece of technology to come out over this past decade that is exciting. Desktops/laptops and smartphones have completely stagnated. Proprietary OSes with each release are introducing more user hostile features and spyware. The Steam Deck is a breath of fresh air with it not being locked down and you can install whatever you want, as it includes a full KDE desktop environment.
I’m using Feedly Classic on iOS. I would like to move off of it, but I have yet to find any other RSS client which presents the articles in a card like view which you can vertically swipe through to mark them as read.
Feedly themselves abandoned this UI for an infinite scrolling list on their main app. All other RSS clients I tried have this similar UI, which I feel is really poor.
Capitalism is more like a program causing resource exhaustion.
Typically new hardware is released at regular intervals so the poorly coded software can continue to function without bringing down the system, rather than addressing the root problem of always trying to grow the software.
The things is with the earth we don’t ever get any new hardware.
I didn’t have a platform chart either. I guess they only show it if you play on multiple platforms.
Linux only for me as well.
In Germany it’s quiet common to work part time and you have the same employment benefits and legal standing as someone working full time, there is no discrimination like in the US.
So I willing reduced my working hours to 30 hours a week. I am working 75% and get 75% of a full time salary. I actually get the same vacation as someone working 100%, as vacation is based on number of days a week worked rather than hours. I am still working five days a week.
Since I don’t need the extra money, there’s no reason to work full time.
Get a Steam Deck, load it with emulators and indie games.
I think we need new parties to take these ideas forward. I would like to see some kind of new left party focused on degrowth and moving to a post capitalist economic system.
At least in Germany, die Linke is the associated party, which has recently collapsed and had historically been more communist with also some pro-russian supporters (now BSW).
It's also the standard almost everywhere
Only in the US.
In Europe there are strict notice periods for both sides around terminating the employment agreement and the employer can’t fire you from one day to the next.
I wasn’t referring to white people immigrating.
Here is an article today from Deutsche Welle covering this issue: https://www.dw.com/en/do-immigrants-have-to-learn-german-in-germany/a-70467984
With the forced return to office, your time is wasted on getting yourself presentable in the morning and then commuting to and from the office. This should be considered part of your working hours if being physically present adds so much value, employers would pay that cost. In reality no employers would do this, as they know being in the office isn’t worth 2 hours of your working hours.
