MouseWithBeer

Keyboard and mouse for literally everything except things where using a wheel makes sense (ETS2 and ATS).

I can not use controllers at all. I can’t wrap my head around using them properly and pretty much all except one (ps3) hurt my hands after 15 mins.

I am not from NL, so dunno how it is there, but over here that money is completely untaxed, so it is not quite the same as getting a raise. And yes, if you move the amount you get changes. But noone is dumb enough to move just to get more travel money, it barely covers gas costs, you would just be wasting your time lol.

I don’t get how workers having rights and benefits is ridiculous. Honestly I think claiming that it shouldn’t be a thing is the ridiculous part.

EDIT: just saw its untaxed in NL too, I guess the difference between us and NL is that for them its typical to get that paid, for us is straight up illegal for your employer not to pay that.

This is idiotic. No one compensates employees for their commute.

Yea, thats not true. Where I live any employer legally has to do it. They either pay a certain amount per kilometer (defined by law) or pay your public transportation fee. I rack in about 300€ of travel compensation every month which covers fuel costs. Having to pay to get to work seems to bizzare to me.

Also wait till you learn our lunch breaks are paid and on top of that the company has to either provide a meal or compensate you for that too…

Technically yes. Switched from software dev to QA at a different company. Worse pay, worse commute, 0 regrets. My current company asked me if I would want to work as a dev instead, nope, can’t pay me enough to do that again.

Oh yea, that makes sense. The Chrome ones get super super small I think right? Has been a very long time since I last used it. I personally like it the was FF does it because I can more easily tell what tab is what, but I can totally see how it you would dislike that.

Also good to know something like Sidebery exist.

Thanks for your answer :)

I am genuinely curious what is your issue with the tab bar? I got a long list of issues I have with FF (still my main browser anyways) but the tab bar is not one of them and I always have 20+ tabs open. Not saying your opinion is wrong, just trying to understand why you think so.

I might change my mind still since it has been only a few weeks since I switched to it but so far I am really happy with Arch. Been having a lot less issues than with Manjaro which was my go to before.

Ubuntu for servers tho.

Our .fyi predates the lemmy instance by a few months. The owner thought the domain was funny and bought it a while back, but had nothing to do with it so it just got used when we decided to get a lemmy instance up. So I assume at least some of them are random domains people already happened to own anyways.

But the main reason is the one people already mentioned and its because they are cheap.

.ml, .ee and .me are howevet not obscure. They are country TLDs (Mali, Estonia, Montenegro).

Honestly I can’t give you a proper answer here. I never actually thought about it before so I just looked up the Slovenian law about it (I don’t speak German so I didn’t bother with the Austrian one) and I couldn’t find anything that specifically says that the snow poles must/can’t be there between XY dates (just a bunch of stuff about how they gotta be positioned). If I had to guess it is a mix of these things:

• Aesthetics
• Visibility
• Giving the road workers something to do
• It is how it has always been done. Before these combo bollards became a thing and in places they still haven’t replaced the old ones they still add/remove a full on wooden snow pole next to the bollards every year.

There might be some other reasoning for it too, but this is what comes to mind as possible options.

I am a big fan of the Slovenian/Austrian combo snow pole+bollard. I think they are such a clever thing for places where it snows enough to cover the actual bollard and doesn’t require workers to drag around a bunch of snow poles every winter, they just gotta pull them out.

Bollards, roads signs and other road signalisation. It is honestly a problem.
