Hm, im just from a country with problematic Internet coverage, so streaming is not that good.

I mean i just download stuff from YouTube…

Hm… I guess warpinator might work, you send the file and open it there.

The humanitarian concern about the ongoing war of aggression (where Russia is using these bombs on Ukrainian civilians) outweighs the concern on this matter… Where Ukraine is furthermore using them on their own soil…

A person having that tax rate doesn’t pay social security anymore usually…

Thats the highest possible tax rate. Most are around 20% and i don’t think you know how taxes are calculated. You don’t pay 45% on your entire income either.

And no its not a separate issue. It all plays part here.

45% is the absolute highest tax rate you can currently get you need a income of 277826€/year

Yes, we have higher social security Expenditures as well, but they pay back a lot more as well, they are paid 50/50 (Employer/Employee) and they are capped at some point (different for insurance and gets changed every year)

It has pros and cons, cost of living for example is a lot less.

Nah man.

Are european companies greedy?

Aren’t all companies greedy?

• Are european companies less competitive?

No, just different.

• Are the high taxes and equality in Europe pushing companies to not try harder to reward talent while USA rewards the high performers as they can see the benefits it brings?

No, taxes are basically the same, and we get much more in return as well. Also cost of living is much lower, the programming jobs in USA are usually in big citys where the cost of living is astronomical, in most EU countrys thats different.

You live better with 100k in Europe than with 400k in USA most likely.

Same, got tired of shit service.

If a fucking piracy website is better than the cooperate that should make people question why they even pay a single cent to them.

Its actually less secure nowadays than a encrypted storage, especially when you use one password for everything…

Used ot a long time as well, but im switching to Proton, i already pay for it, so I’m going to use it.

Interesting

Are you tying to watch movies on a smart Fridge? VLC runs on everything. Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, IOS and even Windows Phone had a running version!

If it doesn’t run directly on your “smart” TV just hook it to a device that does run it, its just a monitor if you use a HDMI cable.

Also they have a shit load of money advertising, if a company advertises that much they definitely scam you.

Proton, all around better service and Swiss privacy Promise (a one you can actually build on)

Don’t use Nord.

Yeah rip read hat. Thats a big no no in the Linux World…

In it you should loose the copyright after 2 years, 5 for very important stuff like Kernels and 10 for special made Software (for MRI Maschines or Factory software)

And it should be required to maintain it for that time at least, as long as there is still a few users.

Crazy how shit breaks if all the three devs remaining are forced to work on new shit that they absolutely do not want to work on because they see how useless and irrelevant it is.
