You lost your job? Your wife an away with the post man? You are just grumpy?

Go splash the Mona Lisa’s glass and all your troubles go away!

@aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me Soup with Mona Lisa splashed on it. The soup is enjoying the Mona Lisa and the Mona Lisa is very tasty.

… and that’s why ÖVP members should be forced to relocate to Russia.

In this case, you should get a 3D printer.

People like that usually have no clue about their own religion and far less about other religions.

A while ago there was a post about Netanjahus controversial speech where he referenced the story of Amaleki. And the poster seriously said that Netanjahu shouldn’t be allowed to quote the christian bible…

In general, people who completely disregard the second highest commandment given by Christ himself (love your neighbor as yourself) are not christians and shouldn’t be allowed to claim they are.

We are sadly ahead of Germany by 10-15 years. Our right wing equivalent (FPÖ) has been around since the country was re-founded after WW2.

They had their ultra-radical time about 25-30 years ago. Since then they have been in government (I think) three times as a minor partner. Every time there was some big corruption/financial scandal that kicked them back out of government and reduced their election result massively. But time and time again, people keep forgetting and they rise again. Currently they lead again in the polls.

Luckily, due to their incompetence, they never managed to do much harm, and due to the fact that they actually want to get into government, they are not as crazy radical as the AFD.

So, it’s not good, but it’s not as bad as Germany, Hungary or Italy.

There’s no talk about exiting the EU since Brexit, they don’t have the power to get rid of asylum (though they diverted funds from asylum-related issues), and by now they actually argue for “qualified, legal migrants”.

Other than that, the conservatives have been in government for ~20 years or so, with changing partners. That’s not exactly good, since they do have had a few scandals where they pushed a fair bit of money to the super rich in the country.

The social democrats elected a marxist as a leader, and since then they managed to overtake the conservatives in the polls.

The neoliberals get ~9% in the polls and they effectively never managed to do anything with that.

The greens are jumping rather wildly in the polls, and even though they only get 8-15% they currently hold the President and are in government.

The median income before tax is €55 731 per year and after tax and mandatory health insurance €38 623 per year. That’s per full-time worker, not per household.

Wikipedia tells me the per-person median income in the USA is $56 287.

Depends on the size and your patience. A single room apartment can be had for <€400 if you get lucky.

And if you have enough patience to get into the government housing program, you pay next to nothing. Buildings older than 1955 are also regulated and quite cheap.

You can also get cooperative housing flats (and even houses) with quite a low rent. We pay <€800 for about 80m².

But we did have some 10% increase over the last year.

And for all of these cheap options you need a lot of patience (between half a year and 5 years). If you need a flat right now, you can easily pay double of that on the free market.

(All these numbers are for the capital city Vienna. Prices in other places can be much lower. There are dieing villages in many rural areas, where houses are pretty affordable, because nobody wants them.)

That’s the reason why average wealth doesn’t reflect the general living experience of the public.

Without London the UK would be ranking much lower on the average wealth scale.

Happy to help!

Btw, check out Netguard (either the F-Droid version or the one from Github, since these two versions allow system-wide adblocking).

And Newpipe.

If you don’t know these apps yet, they will change how you use your Android device.

Your actions do nothing. You complain on the internet about some guy that said something you don’t like. Nobody from FSF is gonna read it. And neither will Stallman or anyone that matters.

I don’t see you boycotting software related to FSF. And even if you do, it doesn’t even matter, since the overwhelming majority of FOSS users never donate any money at all.

You are no customer of the FSF, you just enjoy their stuff for free.

So your actions amount to angry screaming into a box.

Apparently, Stallman is a net positive for them, so they keep him.

Doesn’t mean that they in any way endorse pedophilia.

And the freedom of association also doesn’t mean that a bunch of enraged people online have the freedom to decide whom they associate with.

And apparently, in the USA there is a whole party devoted to child marriage and other ways to have sex with minors. That might be the better point to start, because they actually have a say regarding laws on that matter.

I’m pretty sure that most people are mature enough to differentiate between an organization that makes software and nothing at all to do with kids and/or sexuality and that old wierdo’s personal views.

We live in a world where huge corporations with a revenue higher than the GDP of many countries routinely exploit child labour and work their workers to death or suicide, burning whole countries and pushing climate change while at it. And yet we collectively shrug and still buy Nestle, Apple, Samsung or H&M.

A shitstorm towards such a niche and unknown organisation as the FSF really doesn’t matter. We all know the Stallman and the FSF, because we are into computers, software and/or open source. But ask any random person on the street, thew wouldn’t know who Stallman or the FSF is if you told them that it’s not Android but actually Chrome/Android SDK/Dalvik/Toybox/Linux that runs on their phone.

I totally disagree with Stallman’s views and personally I do find them pretty worrying.

But I also disagree with the concept that employers should be the executive of the court of public opinion.

We have real courts and real police, we don’t need to invent a secondary one where people lose their jobs due to shitstorms.

If you think he did something illegal, report him to the police or sue him. If not, then this is freedom of speech. Even though he uses the freedom to voice a pretty crappy opinion.

I mean, if everyone who said something that lots of people disagree with, I guess we would all be unemployed now.

As long as it still boots, you can undo the change with a simple adb pm enable [packagename].

I wouldn’t recomment disableing system critical things like systemui. You can google each package together with “Can I disable X” and you should get decent infos.

Regarding the launcher:

I don’t have a Fire TV but I had a Fire Tablet. So if these two work the same, you can install another launcher without issues. But Amazon removed the setting for default launcher, so it will always pick the stock launcher when you press the home button.

To override that, there are two options.

• Install the Automate app by Llamalab and make a small flow that detects when the stock launcher is the currently active app and then automatically launches the new launcher. This option is completely safe.
• Disable the stock launcher. If Android doesn’t find it’s set default launcher, it will instead open the first launcher it finds. Worked good on the Fire Tablet, but I can’t verify that this doesn’t cause issues on a Fire TV. So this might be a bit risky.

This here is the solution for what you want: https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/

You can disable whatever app you want until the system doesn’t work any more. Just install an alternative for what you want to disable (e.g. the launcher) and then disable the Amazon version.

I wasn’t specifically talking about this product alone, but about the general trend. I don’t own any Amazon hardware.

A few years ago, piracy was all but dead because or really good offers like Netflix. All the stuff you wanted was there and the price was ok.

Now to get the same that you got for a tenner a month on Netflix, you have to pay for half a dozen of streaming services.

Youtube forces you to watch more ads than actual content. All services are increasing prices while decreasing what you are getting for that money. And all sorts of products are retroactively introducing ads.

I mean seriously, if someone bought that stick, they paid for it. They shouldn’t have to worry about updates actively making the device worse.

It’s an industry-wide trend that sucks, and it’s one that creates resistance. People start pirating, use adblock and some hack their devices. Not because it’s impossible to have a situation that suits everyone, but because they purpously use enshittification to suck more money out of their customers.

That’s why piracy is back on the menu.

Like, literally. That’s their job description.

That is true, but then you probably are in trouble ;)
