What is a fae?

sidebar says unix is allowed and ios and macos are still unix. but this joke is so far from the theme of the community, you could change the ipad to a windows CE tablet from the 90s and the joke would still work. unix is just some background item here, casually mentioned

it would fit better in microblog memes or maybe math memes

This song was played five times in a row at the funeral of director Stanley Kubrick.

Question to americans:

In which situation you have the highest chance to get shot:

• Dressed as an ewok in the forest at night during hunting season
• Regular thursday in a high school
• Having slightly darker skin while being pulled over

Ah, dankechön!

Ich ferstehe nicht.

The most communist part is that the whole process is fully managed by the government tax office, not some 3rd party private company.

The not communist part is that it takes unbelievable amount of corruption to program and maintain these services under the hood. They figured out that it’s hard to measure how much human work needed to develop such a thing, so they can just invoice whatever unbelievable amount they want. American companies help with that as well. Windows and Office license for state offices 3-4 times higher than the normal price for consumers, because for some reason they can’t buy it directly from Microsoft, they have to buy from local appointed dealers… Actually MS was fined for this for USD 8.7 Million, the local party in one of this deal was promoted to higher government position afterwards.

So actually this doesn’t exist for making the peasant’s life easier, just to have jobs to steal from… It’s just accidental that our small life becomes a bit less miserable during the process.

I tell you how it works in my shitty eastern european country:

• I get an email that my report is ready, I have to go to a website where I can see it.
• After logging in I can see a list, where I worked last year, how much was paid, if I should pay anything more or I can get back something.
• If everything is alright I can hit OK. If something is not right I can open an issue on the same website, but I never had to do that ever.

That’s all. Usually takes less than 5 minutes for the whole process.

It seems like you accidentally moved your mouse to the side of the screen, let me introduce you to some unfogettable deal, I’m pretty sure you didn’t wanted to leave yet.

Oh, you clicked on the back button, but fortunately we can override that, so you can enjoy another popup before we allow you to go back to That other website.

TIL Cyriak still makes the same kind of videos 20 years later. I feel old

That game was good, thank you for reminding me. They added local coop with one of the updates, I should replay it again.

Who is pat? I guess it’s Patrick Volkerding, bdfl of slackware.

The diagram is the search interest for the “new” name? There is a new movie titled similarly. (I don’t follow superhero movies since Superman 3. That was perfect, I’m not interested in new developments.)

If you tell this joke in a linux community, its funny. If you tell it to someone who doesnt know what linux is, its not

Who are the people on the bottom image. I guess they are amerikan politicians?

What do you mean, what is the point of your comment?

Thank you for finally replying my question. Not everyone living in amerika, and we don’t know who said something about USSA being “too big”? I have no idea who said that because you are paraphrasing something from your US based bubble. Do we have US defaultism here on lemmy?

What is even USSA, I thought you mistyped USSR… There are a lot of tankies here, I thought we are debating about the Soviet Union again.

Oh and your comparison, it seems my reply was correct. The US grid is by far “bigger” than this former SU grid, but not in geometrical mean,

The current population density of U.S. in 2024 is 34.77 people per square kilometer

The current population density of Russia in 2024 is 8.42 people per square kilometer

https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/RUS/russia/population-density

Siberia is HUGE compared to anything.

The US eastern grid alone generates more than two times electricity than the former SU grid, and they are both dwarves compared to the chinese one. What do you mean, what is the point of your comment? Most of russia is just taiga forest, it’s big, but doesn’t need electricity.

The part about the texas crisis made me think it’s about why the USA is not a single grid, while Europe is one.

Iirc one big reason made the crisis that severe was their grid is separate, so they couldn’t buy electricity from other states.

Also if that’s the case than using screenshots from that webside is quite misleading. That site uses live data, so if the 2 screenshots were taken at the same time, one of the continents was at night, so solar panels were not working… An avarege or aggregate map should be used, not live data
