But this feature requires an extra monthly subscription, that wasn’t included with the package of the YouTubers

filister , 2 months ago to news in Majority of Americans over 50 worry they won't have enough money for retirement: Study

I am not working in the states. I am working in a city where the average salary is 3000€, and rent is 25/sq.m. or ~2.3€/sq.f. and mind you in other places rent/salary is even higher like in Lisbon, which is popular expat and tourists destination

filister , 2 months ago to news in Majority of Americans over 50 worry they won't have enough money for retirement: Study

You know, the ruling class doesn’t want us to be able to afford buying our own places and eventually retiring early. They want us working till we die.

filister , 2 months ago to news in Majority of Americans over 50 worry they won't have enough money for retirement: Study

Not only Americans. Pretty much the whole West, especially people who were unlucky not to buy their own places. My rent is 1600, without bills, my projected rent is 2500. And mind you, I am well above the average.

I have zero trust that when it is time for me to retire I will have money to pay my rent, bills and have something left for food. Because my rent will also increase in price and also the inflation will be 40-60% higher. It is really f****d up situation.

If something like this happens to my kid I sure as hell will radicalize. I wonder if Israel managed to kill more terrorists that they gave birth to, and call me sceptical but I think they did not.

True, there is no place in the stock market for ethical companies. Unfortunately, most listed companies care only about their bottom line, no matter the human cost

filister , 2 months ago to lemmyshitpost in Google Gemini is really bad.

Hmmm, I tend to disagree. You know garbage in, garbage out.

I have not much experience with Gemini, but I used Pro 1.5 for analysing videos and it performed surprisingly well.

filister , 2 months ago to til in TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

Isn’t the US famous for their prison for profit, where prisons are privately owned and states need to pay if there are fewer incarcerated people inside?

To me, this sounds straight from 1984.

I tried to install winget on Windows 10 but that was not possible if I am not wrong. I think the terminal is available but not winget

filister , 2 months ago to technology in Dating app Bumble will no longer require women to make the first move | CNN Business

I think we should get a blind match dating app, where we emphasize on the content and not on the visuals. You just add some information about what kind of a person you are, what you are looking for, etc. and after you match and exchange some messages, you can open the pictures.

But dating apps are turning into those cheap e-commerce sites where everyone judges the items by the packaging and no one actually cares about the content. And mind you in a lot of cases the pictures of the packaging are highly exaggerated or from a couple of years, from better times. And you know, no matter how shiny this package is, there would be a day you will need to throw it in the trash and you will need to decide whether to throw the product along or only the package.

Excuse my metaphors.

You do realise that Huawei is a huge company and their smartphone business is a small part of it, right?

filister , 2 months ago to technology in Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining

I have Windows 11 for work and I find the new package manager winget as a Godsend. I am doing all program installations and upgrading over it and it works pretty well. Also the terminal is a very nice addition.

filister , 2 months ago to worldnews in At least 10,000 Gazans trapped under neighborhood ruins

It will take months to get real figures, and even then they will be both exaggerated and diminished by both sides so we might never know how many people had died in this conflict. Unfortunately I don’t see anything good coming out of this war, more and more people will get radicalized on both sides and peace will get even more illusionary

filister , 2 months ago to technology in Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’

Sad but true. Munich is extremely expensive for people living there and not owning their homes, which is a large portion of the population and salaries for highly skilled individuals is a complete joke.
