No one was really threatened with violence to join the Nazi party.
It never was a decision between joining and dying, or joining and going to prison.
The choice for most was joining or losing an opportunity to advance their career.
Even the guards at the concentration camps did the job voluntarily. Being offered the position was a chance to live like a medieval lord, with a mansion, servants, and actual direct power over people’s lives. The alternative was to continue living a mediocre life in Germany. That was enough incentive for enough people to staff the camps.
Brouter isn’t an alternative to Google Maps.
In its niche (bicycle routing) it blows Google Maps out of the fucking water.
Same for Organic Maps. If you live in an area with good map data, it’s just better.
The only thing it lacks is traffic prediction, which is simply impossible to supply without spying on people.
The fact that the election is a toss-up, rather than a Harris landslide, is proof that American democracy is already fully collapsed.
I don’t have a fucking clue what you’re talking about.
Android uses the Linux kernel. So it is a Linux system.
But only in the same way as your Chromebook, your TV, your car’s entertainment system and your programmable vibrator are Linux systems.
Doesn’t mean “good” or “bad”, doesn’t mean “hackable” or “free software”.
Although on Android, it’s trivially easy to install a proper Linux with all rights, and access to the phone’s sensors, sms, phone calls, GPS, etc. in a chroot environment.
Sadly, not too surprising in a kind of unstable country that is partially under the control of Russia.
Oh wait, it’s the other Georgia…
Oh wait, it still kinda tracks…
Plain and simple: because you don’t have admin rights.
Looking good for Cthulhu 2024.
The majority is sick of voting for the lesser evil.
Would Russians vote for Trump as president of Russia, though?
I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
The future of the world depends on what Joe Shmoe from Wisconsin feels like today.
Scary thought.
Just be careful of whether they’re giving advice that benefits you or them
Depends. My friend who went that route positioned herself in a freelancer consultant role for government institutions and schools.
She makes 6 figures.
I’m currently playing Skyrim again. It’s still fun as hell if you don’t expect any depth. Disregard the main quest, hike around the countryside with a 2-handed warhammer, pick all perks that increase damage, and bash most enemies’ heads in with a single blow, watch the finishing move animation, then loot their corpses.
Listen to Sabaton in the background.
Any career advice coming from the prior generation is useless because it doesn’t apply to your generation.
Even starting a major because everyone’s currently hiring in that field is useless. By the time you’re finished, so will all the other students who started at the same time to get a good job down the line.
I gave up my initial plan of becoming an ecologist and went into IT for job security. And now I’m about to be laid off cause the company I work for is close to going under, for the third time.
Meanwhile friends of mine who started their careers as social workers, physical therapists, nurses and in the trades are buying houses while I live in a moldy apartment.
My advice is to just do what interests you, you probably won’t starve. Also, disregard this advice if you’re just starting out your career. I’m 40, so my experience won’t be helpful to you 20 years younger people.
If you’re an illegal immigrant, you can’t vote, and if you’d try, they’d find out and just throw out your vote.
Don’t believe the Trump propaganda that voter fraud is easy and common.
