Please let this finally happen. It's absurd when normal people pay maybe 20-40% taxes depending on the country when the super rich almost don't pay at all.

Rayspekt ,

What happened, who's the girl on the left?

Rayspekt ,

Haha thank you for the link, what a gigachadette

Rayspekt ,

I don't get it. If the reason for this really is that there are not enogh workers present, then I why won't the employees tell their employers to go fuck themselves? I mean it doesn't sound like there aren't enough job offers on the market.

Rayspekt ,

I wonder what the deal with India is here.

Rayspekt ,

What's the context here?

Rayspekt ,

Big tech: I can't read, this is worthless!

Rayspekt ,

When will scientists just self-publish? I mean seriously, nowadays there is nothing between a researcher and publishing their stuff on the web. Only thing would be peer-reviewing, if you want that, but then just organize it without Elsevier. Reviewers get paid jack shit so you can just do a peer-reviewing fediverse instance where only the mods know the people so it's still double-blind.

This system is just to dangle carrots in front of young researchers chasing their PhD

Rayspekt ,

I know about impact factor but still this system is shit and only works because people contribute to it.

Rayspekt ,

I can only get so erect, please stop.

Rayspekt ,

Yeah I know about this, but personally in our field I don't see anybody bothering with preprints sadly. Maybe we should though, sounds like the first step.

Rayspekt ,

We should just self publish and then openly argue about it findings like the OG scientists. It didn't stop them from discovering anything.

Goat witches

So the have lemmy in New Zealand lmao

Rayspekt ,

The difference between beef and lamb, and pigs and poultry is way more than I thought.

    It's interesting to hear that this is a thing/problem while there are dedicated women-only spots (e. g. gyms) where women expect the be only among themselves.

    Rayspekt ,

    So isn't it possible to set up "gay-men-only" places as well? So you wouldn't have to ask people to not go there. Basically a gay gentlemen's club.

    Rayspekt ,

    Thats a weird-ass Yakuza NPC if I ever saw one.

    Rayspekt ,

    Yess, the Fediverse needs more Disco Elysium. One of the only communities I'm really missing from r*ddit.

    He's being such a Garte.

    Rayspekt ,

    Haha yes. I also love how polite Hoffman conveys the message that this is fucking dumb.

    Rayspekt ,

    So Macron's move for new elections worked out so far?

    Rayspekt ,

    How backwards can you be lmao

    Rayspekt ,

    His defense should have been: "A hunter needs his gun."

    Rayspekt ,

    Panama Canal is the biggest NIMBY project ever

    Rayspekt ,

    The Panama canal was a US NIMBY project I'd argue. Give us the canal but without impacting our territory.

    Rayspekt ,

    Maybe he hopes that left-leaning voters will get mobilised by the election outcome today.

    Rayspekt ,

    Thanks for the insight. I didn't know about the leftist party, we only read about Le Pen here.

    Rayspekt ,

    What a bunch of weak dicks. How insecure can you be to be that triggered about women dressing however the fuck they want.

    Rayspekt ,

    NOW THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE!!!

    Rayspekt ,

    So I looked up the article and thankfully there is an embedded SoundCloud track up the bees whooping. It's goddamn adorable.

    This reminds me of the mutant gunner unit from KKND 2 Crossfire.

    Rayspekt ,

    Can we call the people using this "truckaneers"?

    Rayspekt ,

    I think there is no general answer to "Is Linux mainstream ready to replace Windows?" because the use case is so important to consider.

    If you just need a PC to browse the web and consume media then Linux is absolutely fine. This should more or less apply to a large group of users that don't do anything else with their devices.

    Are you a gamer? Then I'd say more or less perfectly fine but it really depends on the games you want to play. Everything with the new, invasive anti-cheat tools doesn't work (e. g. League of Legends) but smaller, single player, or many multi player games do work at the moment.

    Are you a professional or are using otherwise specific software? This is the biggest hurdle I see at the moment. CAD programs for engineering are a big problem for example.

    And last but not least: Are you using periphery that needs specific drivers? Printers, audio interfaces, and whatnot. Then you might be out of luck as well if you can't script.

    The last two points are the only ones that would worry me when I won't have at least one windows machine lying around.

    Ew, Linus

    Rayspekt ,

    Yeah well, I definitely spent the last two hours on that site.

    Netzsperre für Wissenschaft: Größte deutsche Provider blockieren Sci-Hub ( netzpolitik.org ) German

    Großes uff. Natürlich ist das, was scihub macht, illegal. Ethisch gesehen ist es aber zur heutigen Zeit absolut unabdingbar, wissenschaftliche Artikel kostenlos für alle Menschen auf der Welt zur Verfügung zu stellen. Da müsste der Staat such um entsprechende Gesetze bemühen.

    Rayspekt ,

    Das wissenschaftliche Publikationssystem ist so kaputt. Wissenschaftler forschen monatelang und schreiben dann noch wochenlang ihren Artikel, um sich auf eine Publikation zu bewerben. Die Redaktion schickt den Artikel dann an zwei bis drei andere Wissenschaftler, die den Artikel dann prüfen (peer-review). Wenn die Autoren die Kritik dann umgesetzt haben, wird publiziert. Und dafür wird dann beispielsweise beim renommierten Elsevier Verlag vierstellig die Hand aufgehalten, weil die Artikel andernfalls hinter der Paywall verschwinden? Für ein paar Mails und zehn Seiten Textsetzung?

    Nebenbei: Die ganze Situation erinnert ein bisschen an den Quatsch zwischen YouTube und der deutschen Gema vor so ca 20 Jahren. Eigentlich gab es mit allen relevanten Verlagen bis so 2018 Rahmenverträge, dass deutsche Universitäten unbegrenzten Zugang erhalten. Danach ist das ganze anscheinend an der Gier der Verläge gescheitert.

    Rayspekt ,

    Is it just me or are 60 million a ridiculously small price for that whole dataset?

    Rayspekt ,

    What's the difference between "fedipact" and "blocked"?
