  • The State proposes to cover up to 3,000 euros a year in social-security contributions for working mothers with two children, with the youngest being under 10, and those with three children or more, with the youngest up to 18

    Hilarious that they think that's enough.

  • What's your houses equivalent of a poop knife.

  • Bucket in the shower to collect run-off water for flushing? Thought it was standard until I learned people don't even bother turning the faucet off when brushing their teeth.

  • What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?

  • And KDE looks so much better than windows' DE. It's also more versatile.

    Gnome just copied Apple, which I guess somebody had to do in order to have them switch to something that looks familiar.

    And in doing so, helped doom us all together with big oil, gas and coal.

  • Anti-nuclear people in here arguing about disasters that killed a few k people in 50 years. Also deeply worried about nuclear waste that won't have an impact on humans for thousands of years, but ignoring climate change is having an impact and might end our way of life as we know it before 2100.

    They're bike-shedding and blocking a major stepping stone to a coal, petrol and gas free future for the sake of idealism.

    The biggest enemy of the left is the left

  • I honestly thought this was going to be a wholesome video. Glad I was right!

  • Hey Linux devs - Build a GUI or gtfo

  • I guess you're not an opensource developer. Let me put it in terms that you understand:

    Let's say you're a pizza delivery dude. You have to be out every day, delivering people to rude customers, no matter the weather. It's hot and your balls are sweating off, if cold and your fingers are freezing, there torrential rain and you get soaked for every delivery, but bossman don't care - you have to do it!

    To relax, you have a hobby as a wood worker. It's your passion! You make small things to make life a little easier or things that look cool to you.One day, you buy a cupboard that's been all the rage. Every store out there has it and it's flying off the shelves. But after a few months there's something annoying about the way it works. Not a problem for you, the handyman, the woodworker. It takes a few weeks, but you've designed, built, and tested a few solutions to arrive at something that works. It's not beautiful, it's not trendy, sexy or anything, it just works.

    Thinking to yourself "hey somebody else might find this useful", you put the designs online. To your delight, there are a few people using it. Very few "thank you"s, but that's fine, at least it helped somebody.

    Then one day, some dude writes a comment about your solution titled "Build something beautiful or GTFO".

    Tell me, how would that make you, as the hobby wood worker feel?

  • Handle your errors properly

  • Makes me think of devs who debug with print statements instead of a debugger and breakpoints.
