There's like 5 governments doing full dragnet surveillance in the world, wonder if one can send an interesting enough dickpic to warrant a UNSC joint session

That is I guess Windows:

  • Installed by the manufacturer
  • "Maintained" by M$

Just joking tho, I run Fedora, even lazy people have standards.

Help me choose a distro!

My coffee preparation method is:

I drink this one kind of instant coffee that does not even need me to heat the water, I can just mix it in cold water and be good with it. It's still coffee and I don't have to make the slightest effort.

You don't exist on the news if you don't have a stock market ticker.

Can you elaborate on these topics for someone not in the know?

Most people who speak about wanting to emigrate are not I assume, but most people who want to just "move countries" seem to be.

I've moved around across Europe, which should be "seamless and easy", as soon as I move in I can vote, no immigration process no nothing.

Let me tell you how the Benelux works nowadays. You have to get a job before you move. Which seems reasonable as long as you don't see that companies won't even hire locals of a different culture nowadays, much less people who'd have to move from another EU country. Outside the EU? At best no answer, some recruiters will call you names.

Then the rental market. There are going to be like 20 apartments for rent, mostly okay, for around 40% of what you get paid after taxes. You have to schedule a viewing, you have to attend personally. There are going to be around 40 people to one apartment, and you will almost never get chosen. Would you pay more than the locals? Tough luck, that's illegal, prices are capped. So you keep spending money to go to viewings you will most certainly not get a place at.

Even if you had some idea of what immigrating to the EU meant five years ago, it's outdated, it got way worse, and will get worse.

Inflation was not high because of government spending, but because of a price spiral caused by monopolistic markets. The spending that the article criticises would actually help as long as the money ended up with workers, boosting wages.

This author is at least as wrong as the Harris campaign was.

Trump didn't see any consequences in the old America either.
