I completely agree with you, although:

I thought Lemmy wasn't a wasteland of humanity like reddit was

Never had any hope for that. Humanity is what it is, shitty folks are everywhere, it's statistics.

Most of Apple users I've met master the art of turning Apple's crap decisions into features and advantages over the competition.

I lost all faith in those folks being reasonable.

Same in Italy

Thanks, captain Obvious

It happens all the time in the magical world of closed source, too.

Ever heard about the iOS vs Android fights? How people shame Android users for being green bubbles?

It's just the extension of the my camp vs theirs applied to the tech field, nothing new.

Ouch

For sure it's not, but let's reckon that you're in a privileged situation. I think we are talking average Joe here, and I think that Euro-Joe beats US-Joe hands down in the paid leave department.

I buy aluminum exclusively, no plastic.

Plastic doesn't age well and isn't as recyclable.

I'm a car enthusiast and a fan of manual transmission.

But driving in traffic is such a PITA. And in some places like San Francisco it's nearly impossible to drive manual without changing a clutch every semester, probably.

While I find manual much more engaging and own one, automatic has its undeniable advantages.

Any modern browser will probably kill your setup anyway.

Yes, Italy, 36 (since I'm 18).

Not author of the comment here, but I've lived in Italy and France and also never had a full month off since my school days.

But it's because of my personal choice to avoid spending all my unpaid leave in one go (and in the most expensive and crowded time of the year, too). Not for the lack of that possibility.

I'm European and the title made me chuckle a bit.

I upvoted one of the most upvoted comments by a fellow Euro person saying that basically no one here does that (when I say no one, I mean statistically. Maybe 1 in 10k people does).

The point tho, is that you technically could.

And even if you don't take the entire month off in one go, you still have around 4 or 5 weeks paid leave over a year, which is much better than most of the places in the US, from what I hear.

Fucking finally!

Why TF do they keep their phone on silent is beyond me.

Is this a worldwide wife plot, or what?

But it's the bestest cable they have ever made

Looks like an 8 year old wearing dad's coat, is all I'm saying
