Billionaires should not exist.

I went the other way around, I was a central heating engineer and plumber in my youth and even if I liked the work a lot I hated the winters, it’s so cold in a building without heating. So I switched to factory work, the payment was better and it was always a comfortable temperature, but it was so extramly boring. And I just couldn’t do it and resigned after 3 years.

So I switched careers again, went to school and eventually to university at 30 years old and then gör a job in a small startup working a lot with open source and the colleagues were all very smart and nice. The startup got bought up by a big company and it got a bit worse, but more stable when it comes to projects. After 10 years I still work at this company even though I moved to a different continent, etc.

I have been working from home since covid and people trust me to do my job so they don’t bother me, it’s very nice.

This was me directly translating from German I think :D

Does that mean also no musk-mobiles in China?

Just for my understanding, wasn’t OpenAI not also a nonprofit and is now a forprofit and the CEO is at least as bad as Zuckerberg?
I understand it will make it a little bit harder, but nothing prevents Mastodon to go the OpenAI way or is the situation different in some way?

He got so much more out of Twitter than we could have imagined, he lit the USA on fire with it, that’s worth much more than the couple of billion lost. I think TikTok is even more powerful than Twitter.

It’s a match made in heaven, win, win, win for every autocrat involved.

No worries, they’re just slower at changing but it will come, I promise you.

No, nothing like that is available here. You can put something in the title like [flair] if you want.

To be honest for people who didn’t use redet a lot, ‘subs’ is very confusing because it doesn’t relate to anything in the Threadyverse.

I have no idea, what is it?

I’m still working in the automotive and mostly with European OEMs. I might have the opportunity to switch to a project in China. And because I’m located in Korea this would make the timezone issues go away too. But the project is still for a German OEM who just produces in China, I wonder if they have a future there.

He doesn’t want to be left behind, everyone else is doing it, the King will be mad at you if you’re the outlier.

Oh god yes, much much easier and without the need of docker and things.

I hosted one Lemmy instance but it is optimized to run thousands of users, I an only one user so the overhead was a lot. As much in fact that it constantly used all the resources on my server so that the other services I run on it stopped working.

PieFed uses much less resources when running as a single user instance like mine. This is why I chose to switch. And now it runs fine on my small server together with all the other services.

It’s a similar software as Lemmy and MBin, but it is written in python: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi

It’s compatible with the Threadyverse, therefore you can read what I’m writing.

I moved to Korea and started posting on r/Korea. I recorded a video of a big fire in Seoul, and because I couldn’t find any news about it I uploaded it to my peertube instance and linked it on r/Korea.

The mods banned me for promoting my own website and said I should have uploaded it to YouTube.

So that resource was gone which was a bummer for me who just moved across the world and didn’t speak Korean. That was my main reason to use reddit.

I already hosted mastodon and when the 3rd party amargeddon happened I heard about Lemmy. I was hoping that there would be a vibrant Korea community which never happened.

But somehow the UX is much better than on mastodon so I stayed. Later I switched the software from Lemmy to PieFed though.

In my family my sister is an antivaxer, so my niece is unvaccinated and has been through some sicknesses - from my perspective unnecessarily. Good that she didn’t get anything langlasting (yet).

Yes, dry water would be too cold.
