« Meditation » drives me crazy. To each it’s own. Every one needs to find it’s thing. Be it drugs for some of us.

Yeah they’ve first been victimised at large by society ; one doesn’t end like this by living a fun life with lots of loved ones… loneliness is shit. They found something with bits that we failed to deliver it seems.

Yeah simboxing baby :) Those were fun times.

I live like 6mins from there… TIL there’s interest in our little corner ;-)

Here’s our usage in kWh last year. In summer we use the heat pump in reverse to cool the house.

Sure but it’s less of a problem for a mail address to be associated with Facebook than lovesense… generally…

Hard not to be in the doubt with all the posts popping in my stream from this sub or the adhd one when I hit most of the cases. But I’m old and functional enough so who cares about the inner workings right?

Those aren’t comparable at all… ADN is more niche since last year or so. I keep both as some very French content is only on ADN but it has very few of the nice licenses. Also isn’t Crunchyroll owned by Sony? A Japanese corporation and not a US one…

Depends of a lot of factors. Best case that’s enough. VPN isn’t generally doing much beside obfuscating network of origin and that’s not accounting for leakages. There’s stuff of the nightmares with pixels and cookies cross feeding data from a session to another… And tools like kayak might themselves have incentives to profile you as well. I don’t know that one particularly but in the end if you’re not giving money you’re likely giving data to someone…

That’s a field in data science / marketing that’s been active forever… assume that companies at large have a rating of their prospects & customers & ex-customers alike which includes a notion of wealth. Either derived from consumption habits or acquired through data brokers or both usually.

No you crazy person… but should it bring you peace of mind whatever…

What disprovable information ? You took wrong figures and entirely ignored anything related to costs beside wage… you sidetracked any point on what constitutes a fair wage beside you general « double an engineer’s wage »…

What’s settled here?

First, thanks for the doxxing.

Second, using statbel instead of the cancerous google AI gives another figure of 104k yearly for engineering positions (in IT but other industries aren’t so far behind).

And that still has fuckall to do with what would be a fair wage… and still doesn’t account for costs accounting on top of the salary which they would incur on top of the salary…

Are you so insisting because you deem artists needs a shit wage? Are they less deserving than engineers?

Double an engineer’s salary?! Man… My brut is riiiiight below that… but musicians would not be employees so they would need to add other costs to their incomes so that they reach a similar net revenue… Locally we consider that 47% of what you invoice reaches your pocket - not accounting for expenses like equipment which is crazy expensive in the music industry… is 4.7k an outrageous salary ?! For an engineer ?! Or even an artist?

That’s a new way to discuss… nice…

That « just » carries a lot… and 10k a month brut is far from making anyone a millionaire. They have expenses, taxes… that’s a confortable-ish living wage.

with 1000 supporters you need them to shell a monthly €10 to be viable. That’s unrealistic. I’m not going to support every individual creator to that extent.

8 to go then…

Reminds me I have to catalogue 2 Tandem Non-stop! Systems at work… I don’t need to meddle with the cobol code atop but still, this was quite a surprise to stumble upon.

C’est votre DPA ça? Ben bravo…
