I’ve been here for a few years and I’m shocked Reddit is still around.

Everything is relative. I live in Vietnam where tech people make a tiny fraction of what they could make in the US and quality of life would be significantly better despite the risk of dealing with ICE and other barriers.

Sure! I think a lot of people would be interested here.

I want to enjoy Mastodon so much, but I just never see that much discussion. It just feels empty.

I read the post like you at first, but I don’t think he works on the fediverse. I think it was just a poor/unclear sequence of clauses in his post.

Can someone explain how powerful a party can be in Germany with a plurality but without a majority?

With the World Cup a year away…

I use base. Super straightforward and works perfectly with the rest of my set up. I also use Mullvad VPN (when I need one) and Leta (when I just need a simple search and not for images). Rarely use the browser.

This. Tbh if Biden rolled out this program, I’d probably say it was distasteful, but fine as it’s voluntary. At least it allows individuals to make choices for themselves.

That said, ICE is already kidnapping individuals at their citizenship interview appointments. I hope no one tries it. It’ll probably end up a Trojan Horse.

Laws and policies are different. The Trump administration takes much more extremist views towards laws on the books making their internal policies much worse (in most cases).

Admirable but there are a couple things to consider. Take fashion for example. Yes, H&M and Zara are European owned but (I’m assuming) near zero of their production is done in Europe, and instead in poor/developing countries. In my opinion, it sort of defeats the point. As an American, I’d love to support European brands that keep their production local.

Rewatching 1983 from Poland and the timing is perfect.
