Have you even read the links that you use to build an argument?! The Wikipedia page for The Convention itself says that the kind of people on the border with Belarus ARE NOT refugees, they do not match the definition of refugee as defined by The Convention and this problem is highlighted in the article!

The Purge.

Haha, same here, but you know who gets my money now after their cycles of enshittification?

Guys from Alldebrid.

It is. Mother/mom = Matka/mama.

Taking another spin at it: Young seal = młoda foka, which reads almost like mother fucker :). Go check it out on google translate.

Also this meaningless mumbling: “tea who you yeah bunny” is fonetically equivalent to saying “you fucking dick” = Ty chuju jebany.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie

You are totally right. Median and average alone mean shit without each other and without deviation, and such article like this is considered by me a manipulation without further correctness check. The same shit is with journalists confuckulating percentages with percentage points.

In over 10 years I was made aware by my university professor of these practices I haven’t found a single article which got that right.

Look up “spółdzielnie mleczarskie” in Poland. https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spółdzielnia_mleczarska

Milk cooperative? Is this how it translates?

Sorry for not translating the whole Wikipedia article, but TLDR this is how high quality dairy is produced in Poland, where everyone from smallest to larger farms can cooperate and coexist.

30 years ago there was even this now non-existent elaborate network of milk collection and delivery (we have shops now :p) - every morning there was a transport organized through every small or large village where everyone farmer even with only one cow could sell the milk. As the number of such farmers went rapidly down this has stopped being done.

Of course you can still find big corp dairy products in the stores (Nestle? Danone?) but they have a hard time competing and I am not sure but they still might buy their supplies from polish cooperatives.

Pole here. I am exposed to US political news in every English- speaking medium, especially though Lemmy now and Reddit in the past.

I don’t know if this is planned or by accident but it looks like US is very efficient in exporting their political bullshit and playbooks to other countries.

Applying the American lens to current events here could give you a conclusions not far from the „ground truth”. Strange.

Be careful not to assign a “patent troll” label to everyone defending their patent portfolio. Where do you mark the line?

There is a Nokia branch called Nokia Technologies. They invest money in R&D, they file for genuine patents involving new technology, for instance in audio and video compression. (They want to sue Netflix or already sued). Them defending themselves against patent abuse is how they earn money. And they go against other big corps. This is vastly different than your typical patent troll.

I hate this too. But - what if we start using this ability to our advantage, just like these guys did? Corps use it, let’s also abuse it so they can’t destroy us without also waiving their rights. LLCs are the privacy abstraction layer of the real world. I figured that even registering your own personal domain is much safer when done through your own LLC than on your personal name. The examples are many.

Answer: no. Huawei equipment is not the best in class. Cheapest? Maybe. Cheapest as in Total Cost of Ownership? No, good luck with their quality.

Why not come back? :D

This hits so much.

737 Max is still a developing example of what happens when you leave corporate to self-regulate themselves.

Then I don’t know why, but I am sure over 30% of heat in my house escapes through the roof.

Yeah I lived in flats before, it’s a totally different story, unless your flat is on the last floor or on the corner there is not much heat loss assuming your neighbors also use the heating.

Invoice from yesterday for December 2023. I used 201 m3 of gas, calculated by provider as being equal to 2224kWh of power for which I paid 682.81 PLN (157 € to be exact) in total including taxes and surcharges. So 3.397 PLN or around 0.78 EUR per m3.

December was one of the coldest months this season. Last year I used maximum of 250 m3 per month which happened to be January/February. This then exceeded 200€

This includes both warm water and heating using low-temperature floor heating. Current thermostat settings give me 22C on the base floor and 20C on the first floor (where most heat escapes, obviously). I also have mechanical ventilation with recuperation.

Shit’s expensive.

With current prices of electricity, the same heating power with perfect constant COP of 3 (not possible with December temps for air heat pump) would cost me 666 PLN. (Nice). How can I offset the cost of installing it in the first place LOL.

Lucky you. 175 square meters, 25cm styrofoam on walls and 30cm rock wool on ceiling and I pay 200€ per month in winter for gas heating in Poland. Solar panels are not economical in current regulations and billing rules have changed so those with heat pumps pay at least twice us much in coldest months.

We are fucked from every angle.

For the uninitiated - IT Crowd

Why downvotes? They are both right, with an exception of MacBooks. Otherwise, you are limited by use cases predicted by the manufacturer, even if it “just works”.

I use both iPhone and MacBook, with the latter mostly as a Unix that, again, “just works”, but I can even go as far as compile whole GNU userspace natively with Gentoo Prefix (one of many options).
