Fight misinformation with information. There are independent shows, podcasts, news that you can share with your friends and family.

This needs more visibility

Yup. A container i slow to rebuild, but at least the most robust. This is my preferred way to share python code when there are system dependencies involved.

It actually is almost as instant as you would expect

I like the pyproject.yaml, but checking dependencies with poetry takes 5 to 10 minutes for my projects.

Tbh, I’m always ending up having issues using poetry and conda. I prefer using penv and pip.

Thanks

I would argue that Germany is not a socialist country. Politics are targeted at the already wealthy and cooperations.

I’m not versed enough in politics and history to give detailed examples. I’m just a normal guy. However, I’m currently listening to the Jung & Naiv podcast on Spotify.

In episode 661 they discuss the development of the housing sector since the 1950s and very little in the 18th century. The important information is that the housing sector grew from being socialist to being a housing market.

I think they mention that in the 50s there existed a “Kostenmiete” (Cost-rent). That would only be allowed by law to be as high as it needed to be to cover the costs for building the house/flat. The owners were not allowed to make profit exceeding 3.5%. Any profit had to be put into housing again to keep the housing sector growing. Around that time the state was heavily supporting housing unions and other groups (not cooperations) to build housing. The state itself built 500.000 !!! appartments a year. Last year the interview says they built 6 appartments. Six, in case you thought you read a typo.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least in the housing market we are not socialist anymore and it becomes worse every year. Education becomes worse every year. The medical sector becomes worse every year. Public transport becomes worse every year. Loans do not keep up with inflation. Everything becomes more expensive.

Yes, we are better off than many. But are we not just richer slaves with more benefits than others? The interview says that there exist studies that estimate 11 million households to qualify for social housing. In some cities that is 60% of their population. 60% quality for social housing. Are we alright?

I don’t understand the math behind the UPS raises. I can’t believe it is as much as my math tells me.

$30 bln / 340.000 workers ≈ $88.000 per worker per year.

Am I missing something or is this actually correct?

As a German, I think I would. Given that it is good and just.

Great article, thanks for posting. I also left a donation.

Why not move to Afghanistan and listen to modern music for a little adventure?

cough freedom of choice cough. I choose not to allow freedom of choice.

Literally. The moment someone wants to have a look at my anus, I’d already have shown them. What’s the deal with everyone? We need to be more transparent with these kind of topics. Nobody wants to share anymore. We are all walled off behind our smartphones and doors and houses.

So true

I do think you do be right with that.

Exactly. This one is out of brass and in traditional style of Ostfriesland, a region in northern Germany and the Netherlands.

Thanks, I should probably try that once the slippers fall off.

Ah, thank for the explanation. No, we are using small candles.
