Nope, 65th place, slightly behind the US and the country of old men: Albania.

And a whole lot of content that I frankly would have preferred not to have seen.
When you’re 12 and your parents have no idea what you’re doing, you’ll end up in very dark corners.
It’s the same in China.
“Meine Ehre heißt Schande” wäre eigentlich eine gute Satire.
Wissen viele nicht, aber menschliche Lippen haben Schubvektorsteuerung.
The best argument against Rand is just listening to her for 5min.
Very rarely do you see such a mixture of arrogance, self-righteousness and utter lack of logic in a single person.
And who does that?
I think you don’t really get my point. I’m not arguing that there are no ways to archive data. I’m arguing that there are no technologies available for average Joe.
It is hardly a good strategy to basically set up half a datacenter at home.
Thin concrete slabs are extremely brittle.
Is it? It’s rather expensive and would you really know, if the data is gone or corrupted?
You’d have to download every single file in certain intervals and check it. That’s not really low complexity.
But what actually is “archival”?
Like, what technology normal person has access to counts at least as enthusiast level archival?
Magnetic tape, optical media, flash, HDD all rot away, potentially within frighteningly short timeframes and often with subtle bitrot.
Naja, das aber unironisch.
Ich meine das nicht als “hurr durr high performer”, sondern einfach nicht Teil des Aufgabengebiets.
Wenn ich etwas seit Jahren nicht gemacht habe, struggle ich erstmal. Und gerade bei Druckern: wie oft braucht man die denn privat? Ich bin Softwareentwickler und theoretisch könnte ich wahrscheinlich einen Drucker bedienen, aber ich glaube seit über 10 Jahren besitze ich keinen mehr. Immer alles in der Firma gedruckt.
Was hier gezeigt wird, ist leider diese fast schon performative Überheblichkeit der “unteren”, weil sie endlich mal zeigen können, wie doof die da oben doch sind.
Kritisiert die Leute gerne, aber nicht wegen so einem kleinscheiss.
Well, actually you’re kind of wrong, at least in some contexts.
So I’m not sure, how that works in other countries, but here in Germany, a large bid for some public contact has to parrot the requirements. The process includes a bloke essentially ticking all of the boxes in their request, and if you say (just for example) “we will deploy that in our k8s cluster” but they require a cloud ready solution, the bloke will not tick the box. Yes, that’s incredibly stupid.
Apart from that, who reads the bid texts? Not technical people, but bean counters and MBAs. The technical people on the other side are only asked for comment, they have no say.
I wish you would be right, but in a world full of people desperately trying to justify their existence, fluff is essential.
Most “professional” writing is just a bunch of phrases interspersed with a few chunks of information.
I’m involved with bidding and grant proposal stuff for software and it’s 90% empty words. I draw two diagrams and a page of text, sales deletes 60% of the text, misinterprets the rest and then puffs it up to 30 pages.
Why exactly does MS gaming employ over 20.000 people?
And when people started writing books instead of memorizing epic poems.
Most people are used to devices being at least somewhat safe. They don’t expect devices they buy from a large online retailer to be that bad. A flaw here and there, sure, but basically a 100% chance of death? Yeah, that’s not exactly to expect.
It’s usually not a question of legality, but efficiency.
It’s easy and efficient to bust someone for seeding, but busting hundreds for the odd file you can prove they downloaded is expensive and takes forever.
Vielleicht sollten wir Tee in ein Hafenbecken werfen oder so.
There’s no hope anymore. Simple as that.
For a pretty long time, probably starting even before WW2 in some countries, there was this hope “tomorrow will be better, my children can have a better life”. And that hope was at least somewhat true.
But it’s gone now, and the children understand that. What is the positive narrative for a 16 year old child now? They know exactly that they’ll have a worse life than their parents in many regards.
If the vast majority of people are affected, is it really “extreme” anymore?
