I’m in Europe so that probably hasn’t changed here… So what’s the benefit of 2025 vs the previous generations l wonder 🤔. I’m considering getting this as a used car so 2025 model is not really an option.

How is the 2025 version different than previous years?

You are forgetting another option: Develop new projects that interoperate with Lemmy via ActivityPub. Then use and support those projects instead.

I mean if you truly intend to stay in a country for many years, shouldn’t you learn the language? Also just for your own sake.

Denmark seems to fit fairly well and there are some English-only jobs in Copenhagen. I have a lot of colleagues that don’t speak Danish.

Denmark is close I would like to say.

Lived in a dorm for 5 years while studying. Makes you confront that anxiety quite often and eventually you get more comfortable.

Basically exposure therapy :P

What does it mean if a democracy bans a party that the voters want to elect?

To be fair, 80% of voters did not vote for AfD - and if 80% of voters want to ban a party? Well, that is democracy. Although it’s a dangerous tool to use.

The US is way more fucked, as more people actually voted for Trump than not.

It’s not that hard to understand. The whole gaming industry is filled with people who are super passionate about games, like passionate to a fault. This makes it very, very difficult to unionize as there’s almost always some other game dev out there who would take the job for less pay and more hours.

I actually know a friend like that. He was job jumping a lot, looking for game dev roles almost exclusively. He finally landed such a role. Far as I heard, he’s working overtime a lot (voluntarily) and he earns less than half of what I earn as a “regular” software developer.

It’s a political necessity really. If you keep denying the losing party any influence, they’ll grow bigger.

The Danish political system has very successfully stopped the far right parties by acknowledging their concerns and bringing some but not all of their policies into the centrist parties. Honestly this is probably much better than the alternative of the far right parties getting more and more influence.

EDIT: If you’re not Danish and not familiar with our (very successful, I might add) democratic political system, you might not understand, but it has worked quite effectively here. Keep in mind the Danish political leaning is quite leftist already, so even some of our “right-wing” parties are still quite left wing all things considered.

What is insane, is how many people studied computer science but are totally unable to apply mathematics to the problems they try to solve.

Could you elaborate on this? My experience during my computer science education was that a lot of maths was required, but just usually not the same kind of maths as most of the rest of mathematics, because continuous stuff doesn’t apply most of the time.

I think a big difference between the way maths and programming is done however is the way it is written. Mathematics is usually about stating a relation as an equation, i.e. x = y^2. But programming can’t just state the relation, it needs to also state how to compute that relation. Honestly my confusion is that maths has never focused more on the computation part of it, it seems very weird to me.

Every four panel cartoon can be loss if you want it enough

Kind of a strange blog post. Clearly it requires a lot of technical knowledge, yet it explains basic TypeScript syntax and variables and how to use an editor. While simultaneously showing SQL code. There doesn’t seem to be a clear target audience to this.

Any third instance that is less generic and more catered to your interests or physical location would be better.

Also keep in mind that lemm.ee does not defederate from a lot of instances - this is bad if you care about a well-moderated space.

Oh totally. I just wish Linux had better user experience than it does, cause right now it’s kind of subpar.

I’ve tried on Ubuntu, what’s more popular than that.

Windows is certainly not bug free and I’m very much a fan of the idea of FOSS - the execution is unfortunately lacking in this aspect.

If you disable… needs to be configured… just have to install the packages

And this is exactly the problem. I suppose there might be a way to fix it, but if Windows can just make it work for me, why can’t Linux do the same? All this “Oh you just need to do X and Y” should be unnecessary bullshit.

Also, it’s not that it doesn’t work at all on Linux, but it works sporadically. For instance, when the system goes to sleep and needs to wake up, the screens sometimes turn on, sometimes they don’t and I need to pull the plug and reconnect. This is never necessary on Windows.

I’m having it on my Framework laptop - I really was hopeful that it would just work with that :(

… Unless of course you’re trying to connect two external monitors through a docking station with a USB-C into the laptop with a closed lid and disabled inbuilt screen.

Unfortunately, in my experience, Linux routinely fails at this task (tried many different distros) while Windows “just works”.

This film gets cooler and cooler the more I hear about it! Really gotta watch it.
