  • Trial against German carnival satirist underway in Russia

  • I always admire people like him who are willing to bear these kinds of bieden for keeping our societies free.

  • switch from Whatsapp to Element (matrix)?

    Jump

  • This all sounds very promising. Especially that they cannot unilaterally change the standard and that they have stable and high-volume clients. I'll put together a list of client-side messengers implementing matrix.

  • I know what you mean. The requirement is that friends and family will use it, too.

    How long ago was your experience with matrix?

  • Why is delta (using email protocol) better than element (using matrix protocol for messaging)? I'm a bit surprised

    Germany's fight over 'lifestyle' part-time work

    www.dw.com /en/germanys-fight-over-lifestyle-part-time-work/a-75695779

  • French newspaper : Many Germans have a deep relationship with combustion cars. For them, buying a quiet electric car is emotionally hard to accept.

    Jump

  • It's a genre in France. Lazy stereotypes about Germans. I think Germans have many lazy stereotypes about Brazilians. Passing it on :)

  • Merz’s party vows to clamp down on Germany’s ‘lifestyle part-time work’

    Jump

  • Yes, but that is nothing that a later retirement age, a requirement for pensioners to draw on own personal wealth if it exists, and immigrant employees couldn't alleviate.

  • Merz’s party vows to clamp down on Germany’s ‘lifestyle part-time work’

    Jump

  • Much to agree with here. About the lifestyle parttimers, I guess it boils down to this difference: a firm should be able to refuse their request for parttime, vs an employee should have the right to work parttime at that firm.

    I think that it is wrong for employees to have this right, since it privileges them over those who might work there fulltime but are not employed there. But I think the other side also has strong arguments, especially since unemployment rates are low.

  • Okay, I guess my true colors will reveal themselves to you over time then. I understand that you want to avoid ragebaiting.

  • I'm confident that a larger volume of labor, assuming that investments in assets are made, will lead to economic growth, because that has been observed many times over in Economics research.

    The development (working longer hours) is not positive. I would much rather prefer a productivity boom due to some general purpose technology. And that that raises economic growth.

    But for me personally, going from working parttime to fulltime is not the worst thing ever either. I've done it before.

    I hope you (and Emopunker who removed my comments, grrr) can see that the link between economic growth and the volume of labor is quite solid, and it should not engage people. There are only four levers to raise economic growth that are known in the literature (investments in assets, volume of labor, total factor productivity, education).

    Jump

  • Hi Emopunker, I didn't get on the site to do that. Could you please restore the comments of mine which you removed? They are not incendiary or mean - they reflect how the volume of labor is treated in econ. I'm a bit taken aback by how you could perceive such comments as a threat.

  • France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials

  • You are so right.

  • I think that more education and longer health and life spans are a good thing.

    The population aging is a bad thing. But the boomers decided to not have as many children as previous generations. And it is their perfect right to do that. Most likely pension systems will need to make use of some of the boomers' accumulated wealth to finance their retirement.

  • Idk how to respond to this because I don't want anybody to be so afraid of the future, but you also didn't really mention what is harming or even destroying the pension system.
