“Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon”
What are you going to do about it? Complain more on the same internet invented mostly by the country you hate?
You don’t like slavery, yet you’re using Latin characters, who were invented by the Romans? Checkmate!
The liberal veneer of civility goes away in the moment you criticize their idols.they cant fathom somebody that doesn’t like mr joe “saviour of the world” biden or mrs kamala “sent here by god himself” harris since they live in political ecochambers, so the only possibile explanation is that Russia pays a bunch of people to post normal people’s opinions online (most people are not hardliner diehard democrats)
How will they enforce it? I’m sure big/medium businesses will comply, but how can you track a cash transaction between private citizens?
Furthermore in the country where I live (Italy, one of EU founding members) more than 60% of independent professionals (partite iva) evade/elude taxes in some way or another, and it’s very common (so common that every Italian experienced it many times in their lives, me included) for small businesses and professionals to offer you a slight discount if you pay cash under the table (no receipt, so no taxes) and, even if we have an entire police force dedicated to financial crimes, the submerged economy is just so big that they can’t deal with it now, imagine when they’ll have to arrest/fine everybody that accepts more than €3000 in cash.
What somebody writes on a piece of paper and what happens in the real world are 2 very distinct things, many stores in Italy don’t accept credit cards even if it’s against them law, and only a minuscule fraction of them gets fined.
The EU has extremely nazi-esque control on the private financial life of its citizens (the state monitors your bank account, to open a bank account you need to give every info about u in the future they’ll ask for your DNA probably, if you withdraw/deposit a “suspect” amount of money our IRS will come after your ass, ane you need to prove your innocence basically guilty untill proven otherwise, ecc, there are a thousand examples, I’m sure EU citizens can relate) but I can’t see how they’ll be able to track pieces of paper.
TLDR I can’t even see how they will be able to enforce this law, especially when we talk about small businesses/independent contractors, and the situation gets even funnier when its a transaction between 2 private individuals.
Amazon didnt pay a penny in taxes where i live, theyre giant criminals yet they dont need to use cash to evade taxes.
It’s horryfiyng but for other reasons. I’m actually on disability and like every other single person on disability in Italy (sure it’s better in other countries) I’m fortunate to have a family (as to not have to rely on the meager check) or else I’d be on the street or worse. Life on here costs about ~800€ a month but they expect (?) people with disability to live with 300/500 a month (the average disability pension) the only person I knew who received more than that (not even that more, barely 800€) was a lady that was literally a vegetable and her cares costed many multiples of 800€, at least the cool thing is that you can receive these brownie points and keep working. Can’t comment on other European nations as they’re all different in som ways.
Edit: oh also when you turn 18 the gov agency in charge of disabilities and pension does whatever is it in its power to strip you of your meager check🙄
Shit yourself in public -> gov thinks you’re insane -> passive income from disability checks
It’s really that easy guys.
If we are in a simulation it means God is the ascended version of a gigantic Linux server
my concern is that some of the more commonly used video types might have trouble on Linux, or that some of the word document templates I use in Windows might have compatibility issues.
As for the first point, never had issues with video reproduction on Linux myself.
As for the second: a year or so ago MS released it’s office suite on the web, so if libreoffice (free and open source office suite pre-installed in many Linux distros) has trouble reading your documents (proprietary formats like .docx that not always work on libreoffice) there’s always the web version of MS office.
But heeeyyyy! You can get paid in their shitcoin that will totally be worth more than an infinitesimal fraction of a cent, just two more weeks!
As per the post it’s a shit coin company; the “CEO” is gonna work at McDonald’s in a couple of years months.
Auxio is cool, aviable on f-droid
The balls of naming a community “news” and removing stuff that isn’t of interest to a small fraction of the world population on an instance that should represent the whole world.
We are pretty happy with framework, tuxedo and system76 even if their products often cost loads of money and for sure aren’t perfect.
I remember on July a project named crackpipe launched
Yesterday Google play kindly un-installed KDE connect for my “security” as it is a “dangerous app”
I promptly re-installed from f-Droid.
This made me think, if whatever company runs these kernel-level rootkit anti cheats get hacked, and since these anti cheats are absolutely proprietary can’t the hackers modify the code to, basically, create a giant genshin impact gamer botnet?
I can’t see lemmygrad uniting with lemmy.world, not in a million decades. Not in traditional political stuff at least, they both support FOSS at least. (except one of them censors piracy instances but oh well)
IDK but it was my fault, I was a noob and was trying to run Ubuntu server from live usb with one (1) month of Linux experience, at least I experimented Idk, that’s the point I guess.
Horrible work conditions, hot workplace with no AC and terribile boss.
