Well, an apple subreddit is 200% more relevant for a Linux user than a Windows sub 🤷🏻‍♂️

a lot of savings

Savings for who? If nothing is changed and manufacturers (and retailers) doesn’t make any kind of commercial gesture, the only ones paying more are the American consumers.

So moving the manufacture would be a saving for every Joe and Jane in the US, not Nintendo nor the ROTW.

Not moving the manufacture might be a loss of % in their US consumer base as prices will be too high there, but is it big enough to justify the enormous costs needed to move an entire industry workflow?

I don’t think so, specially when there is so many instability in the US politic, if you move to an other country at great cost and 2 weeks later a new tariff is declared (because why not), you moved everything for no reason but still lost your investment.

My belief is that no industry nor country will adapt, they will just increase the US market prices and keep on living like before with the ROTW. The only ones to suffer will be the American citizens and I’m sorry for them, but there is an all planet to trade with.

That would cost them enormous amounts of cash and hours of work just for one market.

There’s no point, the best option is just to ignore the US and let them pay more than the rest of the world, even if that means fewer sales.

Welcome fellow cheese lover. If you’re from where I guess you’re from, we have a few communities for our big plus country.

Most of normal French speaking in on the jlailu instance, example the not very active !suisse@jlai.lu.

I think there are some English Switzerland communities and I don’t know about German, they are probably linked with the main German instance (like we are on jlailu with the rest of francophonie).

And as IRL, Italian speaking part does not exist 🤷🏻‍♂️

But you’ll find plenty of cool communities not related to a country or language. My favourite type are the ones where you can speak about whatever you want.

Also as a nice to know, you can blacklist keywords on several apps (and communities, peoples or instances), that way you can avoid the US politics spam around news communities.

It takes a little while to craft your perfect lemmy experience, but once done it’s a cool place!

Dude?

You can open or replace this fake ceiling square by square as behind it you may find some electrical stuff that sometimes needs to be repaired. It’s also probably cheaper.

It’s kind of the same as the floor in data centers. If you’ve been in one, the floor is a fake floor made of square sort of plastic tiles. Below that you have the cold air that goes into the servers, AC and DC power, fire and water detectors, cables road etc. You need an easy access to those fake floors or ceiling for maintenance.

Oh no what the fork?

I work in ATC and I’m a gamer. We do recruit some gamers for their competences that are 2000% beneficial to the job, like 3D space representation, stress resistance, quick eye to hand movement and quick thinking (think fast RTS or MOBA for example).

But honestly I still find it hard to convince management into studying gaming benefits to ATC.

Most of them still have the boomer reaction, aka:

“bUt ThEy’Ll ThInK RaDaR iS a ViDeO GaMe!!! ThEy WoNt TaKe iT SeRiOuSlY”

No it doesn’t change anything for lifetime pass.

Maybe it will in a few years, but not today.

Exactly, and accident in aviation are never because of one factor but rather multiple of them, and Murphy’s law.

Handling an engine flame out is ok. But in reality it might be an engine flame out + icing conditions + OVC008 + non precision approach + windshear on short final.

AI pilot would have quit the seat a long time ago, leaving the self loading flesh bags at the rear alone.

ATC here and the only time we consider an aircraft safe is when it’s at the airport. That’s why slots exists. As annoying as they can be, better have the aircraft on ground at DEP rather than holding to wait for the thunderstorm to pass.

Maintenance day is when I log into my server once every 3 month because I forgot it (as everything is working fine).

But I just discovered OpenSuse microOS, while looking at the docs for my laptop Thumbleweed, and now I want to try it with no real reasons. Maybe it is just an excuse to buy a new Raspberry pi.

Also, air traffic controller here with most of my mates being airliners pilots.

We are all tired and alcoholic, it’s even worse among the ground staff at airports.

Good luck on your next holiday 😘

Bonjour, yes it is. It’s 11am now so still way before the “Bonsoir” time which don’t really have an official time (it’s when it’s dark and we don’t have a good afternoon equivalent).

Ah a fellow 4h30 early bird!

So, The Handmaid’s Tale. I’m believing in that one as well and said it many times during the last decade, but I believe it will end like in the movie Civil War. Although I also believe the world will strive without the US, creating new green tech and be centered around Europe, Asia and LATAM being friends and trade partners.

Bans are for adults, you gets sent to your room.

!forumlibre@jlai.lu because I can say whatever stupid thing I want in my native language and everything is non-serious (as in no news, no politics, no wars, no nothing).

Air trafic controller (Europe, not FAA…)

It’s honestly a kind of dream job as I work around 2 weeks a month, have 7 weeks of paid vacation + I can call in “unfit to work” anytime with no question asked. We get paid health cure and the job is not that hard or stressful when you are good at it (I’ve done it for 15 years, it’s like a second nature now).

The pay is very good, around 100k (€/$/chf, it’s basically the same) at entry level and around 220k after 20 years of experience. I’m at 150k for a 80% part time contract.

The only downsides are the working hours, 24h a day 7 days a week which gets tiring as you age. And that much money for not much work makes me lazy, not being at risk means I’m not making efforts to gets better. I dream of being an independent worker, working from home or anywhere in the world on my framework 13 by making creative work, but I’m not pushing hard for that dream as everything is ok with my life and job.

I know, that’s totally a “1st world problem” and I’m not complaining at all. It’s just that being too comfortable in something does not push you forward.

A French horror youtuber (Feldup) talked about it, saying the same thing as you (do not search for it, do not watch it).

But from his description what I understood is:

Anyway, don’t watch it. I stopped scrolling on /b the day I saw a woman getting killed. Looking for this kind of stuff is bad and makes people feel nothing when confronted with human misery and horror, that’s not a skill you want in life.
