hi chat, have a situation here that I'd like more info on and perhaps someone here knows a little more

basically, there's someone I know that
has German citizenship, but hasn't lived in Germany for a majority of their life, and just moved here, not quite 18 yet. How's health insurance work in that situation?

AFAIK one would usually be insured through family, but family is in another country and not registered with any German insurance (AFAIK) so that's obviously not it

@alexia I think one need to insure themselves, but unsure how it is for someone not yet 18. I would call/contact TK ( https://www.tk.de/en ), they are very helpful.

Confused by Linux? I made this handy dandy chart to help clear up the confusion!

A Linux Alignment Chart, depicting a 3x3 matrix where one axis is "Terminology purist, neutral, and radical" and the other is "Origin purist, neutral, and radical".

Origin Purist, Terminology Purist: Linux 6.2-rc1 as distributed by kernel.org is a Linux

Origin Purist, Terminology Neutral: Linus's Linux boot floppy was a Linux

Origin Purist, Terminology Radical: Git is a Linux

Origin Neutral, Terminology Purist: GNU HERD is a Linux

Origin Neutral, Terminology Neutral: FreeDOS is a LInux

Origin Neutral, Terminology Radical: GNU is a Linux

Origin Radical, Terminology Purist: A CUDA shader is a Linux

Origin Radical, Terminology Neutral: Windows is a Linux

Origin Radical Terminology Radical: Crypto-currency is a Linux

@navi @mirabilos fucks sake

Will leave standing here a request of help for my immigrant daughter to not be deported 🙇‍♀️ Please let us know if you know of a good job opportunity for her:

  • Daughter is a sensitive, sociable and sunny 19-year-old who likes animals and plants, and worries about social causes. She's been in Germany for 4 years, has telc B2 Deutsch, native-level English, and a (Brazilian) high school certificate. No work experience. Her main skill is drawing (digital and traditional, including animation), and she's also handy with the written word, textile crafts, hairdressing; but she's up for any entry-level job, really.

  • She's a legal immigrant, for now, but she needs a formal job still this year to secure that situation.

  • A Pratikum also would work.

  • We're in the Ruhrpott. She's willing to move for an opportunity, especially if it's a lively and queer-friendly place like Berlin, but there might be difficulties with finding a place to stay given the housing crises etc. Basically it would be good if the job pays enough to cover the living expenses of a young woman living in a WG in whatever place the job is located.

  • Otherwise that's all that's needed. It's not important that the job pays a lot, and she has no objection to doing manual labour, officework, cleaning work, odd hours etc. Her red line is no job handling meat or otherwise dealing with animal exploitation, or other directly unethical positions.

DM me if you have any concrete suggestions of open positions (please not things like "have you tried a warehouse?" or "have you considered a Berufskolleg/Studienkolleg?" or "have you talked with the Arbeitsagentur?" – yes we have, all of that we have.)

Vermögenssteuer in Spanien

Sechs Jahre Vermögenssteuer in Spanien: Die große Auswanderungswelle der Reichen blieb aus

Vermögenssteuern führen nicht automatisch dazu, dass Superreiche das Land verlassen. Das zeigt jetzt auch eine neue Studie aus Spanien. Untersucht wurde, wie viele Vermögende nach der Wiedereinführung der spanischen Vermögensteuer ihren Wohnsitz verlagert haben. Das Ergebnis: In einem Zeitraum von sechs Jahren zogen viel weniger um, als erwartet. Selbst innerhalb Spaniens, wo Vermögende ohne große Hürden in eine steuerfreie Region ziehen konnten, blieb die große Flucht der Reichen aus.

@mirabilos yeah, and they don't even realize it. It's rather tiring to the point where I already decided to contribute more to the KiCad libraries for now because they have a strict ban on slop.

@mirabilos yeah, this is why am I rather exhausted from that discussion. Granted, I did start it, but how detached from reality the LLM proponents are surprisingly even me.

I'm gonna clear up the confusion right now because this is gonna turn into some Mandela effect bullshit if I don't.

The priests that go Wololo are from the first Age of Empires.

The equivalent unit in Age of Empires II is called a Monk. It has like a Gregorian chant sound effect.

People conflate these two because wololo priests were the most memorable thing from the first Age of Empires. But Age of Empires II was the much more popular game overall, and so it's more prominent in our cultural consciousness.

Periodic Reminder: Follow more Black people and be excellent to them. (And shoot down and report racist shitheads).

ok but have you considered that disconnecting from the internet is actually a good thing?
