Very sunny places, like Los Vegas.

I’m literally designing some code now and realized that I used DuckDuckGo to find man pages for system calls… from my Arch laptop. 😑

They weren’t even photoshopped. They were literally just indicating the meaning of each tattoo. Which they of course said were MS13.

It lists a whole bunch of reasonable things to prioritize, but then ends with:

Any other cases referred to the Civil Division that the Division determines to be sufficiently important to pursue.

It depends on context.

Portugal only has one border, with Spain. Spain is much bigger in all ways, and they don’t want people to be coerced into giving up their Portugese citizenship, so they made it impossible. I am basically okay with this

I wonder how this works. In the Netherlands we don’t take away citizenship from naturalized citizens if they gave up all other citizenships.

In much of Europe you don’t need a car to live, so the training requirements to get a driving licence are higher.

It’s not quite that simple.

For example:

Since 1851, children born in France to at least one parent born in France are born French (‘double ius soli’).

Evidence shows that while rich people threaten to leave for tax or financial reasons, they rarely do.

By self-hosted you mean you have hardware geographically distributed? Like… boxes at friend’s houses or…?

All of these were taken by the state, not the workers, which was the question.

I know it’s asking a lot, but you could give an example instead of insulting me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can’t think of any examples. Taking over the company requires capital, which is the one thing that capitalists constantly extract from workers so they don’t have any.

The workers of xs4all tried when their new corporate owners, KPN, decided to dissolve them. But a combination of lack of funding and unfriendly courts prevented that. They did end up starting a new company though…

Sort of. They can be, but are not always.

We’ve already got free software for filing taxes, kthxbye!

Is it? Almost every time I use it I end up hitting a bug or missing feature. Just last week I was trying to get Word in Office365 to keep some lines together. I followed the instructions from Microsoft’s help and it didn’t work. Last month I was trying to get “slide M of N” on the bottom of PowerPoint in Office365, but apparently getting the N is just not supported.

LibreOffice almost always works for me, far more often than Microsoft Office.

DuckDuckGo search found this with some actual (albeit opinionated) context:

I put a tl;dr sentence or two at the top of any e-mail more than a couple of paragraphs. Sometimes for those too.

I run my own email and I have to say I wouldn’t recommend it.

The biggest hassle is dealing with either Spamhaus or Microsoft, who apparently at random decide to put my IPs on blacklist, and who provide hurdles to working around this (for Spamhaus) or just say “no” (for Microsoft).
