There are working open source clients for OneDrive. You can just encrypt the data you pump into OneDrive (or any cloud provider you don't trust) and just use it for quick online access and then sync everything into your local NAS/server.

Not only that. If you have DS & DE in different orgs, often DE is in an IT org that also has to support legacy systems that sometimes become very time intensive. So then the DS org says they can't get stuff done because DE does not deliver, and DE can't get things done because the "elder engineers" in their org are not allowing reformation. So they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

He is mentioned by the OP

I have not experienced the "old age" of arthouses. But from talks to older people in the "scene" it's become a lot of mishmash and the same old story over and over that it's really rare to be intrigued by it.

Just saying that, because there still are some art houses here (although not sure if that's still the case post-corona), but most of their films don't intrigue me. Sometimes they do, and I'm always a bit bummed to see that the venues are half-empty when I go.

I probably watch 1-2 shows over the course of the year on netflix, with an occasional film here and there if I'm interested. And all of them together with my partner, who watches many more shows and films than me.

> Simply put, Netflix (and its imitators) produce too many TV shows that are too good—and too easy to binge.

I find most shows on Netflix to not be that good. I drop them within minutes.

Edit: "Not save my data"

Hey I feel you. Same category.

The gist: If you didn't inherit, you are fkd in Germany.

MOST of wealthy people inherit it (and 2/3 of super wealthy inheritance in Germany is former Nazi money). It's unfair.

What helps me get by: I know my life is good, even though exiting the treadmill is most likely not possible. Enjoy what you have, invest a bit and focus on things that make you happy :)

>With software I most often go from “heavy” to “light”.

It works the same in hiking. You go first your first hike with _definetly_ all equipment you need. And afterwards you trim down for the next one, until you hit the sweet spot.

And if you go too far, you are reaching the stupid light point.

Currently, EU subsidizes farms based on land area. Which is supposed to change, but the lobby is strong.

No. I would love peace. I don't seek divide.

But saying that we "let politics be politics" is a privilege. If you are in a minority, either by choice or by birth, it's not that simple. Standing up against discrimination and making that one of our core beliefs should not be as controversial as you make it out to be. And it's great for you that you can just keep politics in "political space", go home and live in peace. But others can't turn racism they experience off. I would highly suggest watching this video of a psycho-social experiment [0].

Welcome to the EU. Although there is still lots of stuff going on that is 'technically' illegal

The wayland website has a good overview for how wayland works (in contrast to X):

The implied privilege and obliviousness about it in this comment make me mad.

Not in the literal sense of land, but in the economical/capitalistic sense. In capitalism theory, the basic idea behind the growth of capitalism is defined as "land grab", i.e. the system ingests what is foreign and makes it its own. So land in that sense can mean anything that binds people to you. Nowadays this means money in order to pay rent, food, bills etc.

> We're seeing the teaming up of governments and giant corporations to control the narrative and tell people what's true and what isn't.

Now why do I call this feudalism? To be honest I could call it various other things, the most "getting to the root" would be "class warfare". I chose to call it feudalism in this case, because feudalism was basically the last period/time we chose to call it honestly what it is: Getting ruled from above. They want to implement censorship, because even though we always say "one day it might work against you", but for them it does not. Ever.

So when we introduced parliaments we split law-making power from nobility to politicians, elected by the people. But if you are an "accumulator of wealth", you can basically act as a modern fief. Especially if you work together with politicians.

First of all this, but even in the very definition of feudalism it's feudalism:

> Feudalism, also known as the feudal system, was a combination of the legal, economic, military, and cultural customs [...]. Broadly defined, it was a way of structuring society around relationships that were derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labor. [0]

Don't really get all the downvotes. I could extend more on it, and explain my reasoning, but I feel like HN is too caught in this "tech moguls are saviors" and even if they weren't and they wouldn't be where they are, somebody else would be a bad actor.

Well the OP said:

> We're seeing the teaming up of governments and giant corporations to control the narrative and tell people what's true and what isn't.

And then he said it's facism. To which I say, no, it's feudalism:

> Feudalism, also known as the feudal system, was a combination of the legal, economic, military, and cultural customs [...]. Broadly defined, it was a way of structuring society around relationships that were derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labor. [0]

I don't get why people downvote me so much. It's basically a direct answer

Yes, it's feudalism

Beautiful, but sad, stories.

But there is another dimension this fails to mention for me: People who suffer from long-term traumatic events (like an abusive childhood, ...) release stress chemicals in their brains which alters the structure and makes remembering painful. Which is why people with "tough" childhoods tend to not remember as much as people with "normal" childhoods.

Your name checks out ;-)

On a serious note: Lashing out is not "feedback"!

I don't believe the economies themselves are broken either. That's a weird hypothesis and no facts to back it up with. The person might be conflating "economies" with some form of "capitalism".

Nevertheless, I do think we know (for the most part) what is going on. It's just that we reached feudal times again (never left them?), where decisions are made by our rulers and as long as the great ruler of america and the great ruler of china are friends, then there is no war. And everything else is waged on the backs of 'The People'. Or something.

On a more serious note, the above comment mentions a job guarantee. That is part of Kelton's MMT proposal. There are two things I don't like about it:

1. MMT is called a theory, but it's actually a descriptive model, and it has shown in the last 3 decades, that it is quite the acurate model. 2. Kelton conflates what MMT teaches us about monetary politics and fiat currencies with her own agenda, namely the job guarantee. And it's hard to argue against the latter, when you acknowledge the first. And that is only possible, because MMT is called a 'theory'.

Nevertheless, I believe you are right DoreenMichele, that we as humans should never stand still. I don't think I could 'not work'. As such a universal job guarantee or public programs are scary to me, because although I like work and won't stop anytime soon, I feel like this will be abused by politicians to cement long working hours. And while I do like work, I think less working hours per person is what we should thrive for. This is a conflict in my head.

I am a fan of UBI, because I don't see myself stopping to work anytime soon, and it would have just relieved me of a lot of stress when I grew up with basically nothing. At the same time, I can see that there are jobs people might not pick up if they had sufficient UBI. Thus these jobs need MUCH higher pay. Because the people doing them (mostly) do them out of passion.

Where does it lead us? Unfortunately where we have always been: the very classical class fight. It's not a grand conspiracy theory, there is no one controlling entity with one mind, but in general laws and law making are skewed towards "havers". Which you might as well just call our new feudal lords.

And until we put up some sorts of guards against (too much) abuse of power, dismantling of democracy, opaque deal-making and abusement of the planet's resources (especially without pay or even subsidized) I don't see it ending anytime soon.

> The upper classes have something of a tendency to view all details of lower class life like every single bit of it is terrible and more bad news. There is a tendency to never see any stats in any kind of positive light. If you are poor, well it must suck to be you and you must be a victim every step of the way.

I mean it's the general fault in all the communication of politicians and media since the late 70s that depict receivers of social security as beggars and undeserving and everybody who is poor is responsible for it themselves. I know this varies a bit from country to country, but even in Germany where we have a "strong" social security system (although it was weakened in the early 00s), the general public's opinion is receivers of social benefits are freeloaders, even among poor people.

Although studies show time and again that even if you are able to become a higher-earner, it still won't make you rich. The strongest indication for wealth is inheritance. And the top percent (owners, not earners) also pay less tax per wealth. So why are they not depicted as freeloaders?

Yea but you can also just use Open-Source bitwarden and either self-host, use free-tier for personal use or buy their service for 10$/year and it also enables sharing credentials.

There's also the whole issue that entities (usually governments) have no unified and standardised way of encrypting mails yet, thus to not be open for data protection law lawsuits, they just use paper and mail, which is considered a safe transfer of documents.

Little funny sidenote: On the sign in front of the building (in the photo) is the address of the company. It translates to "At the goldmine" ;-)

I don't think the car analogy works:

> Sure, the machine might be faster than your current one, but except for the rare few cases when you actually utilize all that power, it won't provide a profoundly different user experience compared to what an iMac will deliver at a fraction of the cost.

Same could be said for a stronger car. It still only gets you from A to B. Except for a few times where you are not stuck in traffic, there is any benefit to the engine. And if you talk about ergonomics of seats and comfort, well nobody stops you from investing in better office gear.

But people asking specific things about it might become a distraction. Getting unwanted input, or feeling socially obligated to help/change things, might become a distraction.

I think what he has experiences is something I have also seen a lot of times (and am still seeing in my current company): Some developers put their application into SQL. That means, that the whole business logic of the app is SQL, and the app is just executing SQLs in order and does some front-ending.

But I don't suspect that is what the original author meant.

Up until 2018 most trash was exported to China. They stopped importing trash. Germany for example is exporting ~750.000t of plastic waste a year to Asia. And the rate is increasing.
