“Hold my beer” - Nintendo, releasing an EU centric revision.

i wonder, do we know what will be the price difference between the EU centric version and the international version?

i mean, you should be able to somehow get the product by buying it in the EU and shipping it to australia yourself. not sure how practical that would be, however.

you’d have to pay the shipping fee yourself and probably also get some re-seller that is willing to buy the product from within the EU and ship it to anywhere else in the world. maybe there could even be a specialized re-seller for this?

yeah “farming equipment” is an important one. fuck john deere

yeah i’m pretty sure that the tiger would prefer not to kill the gazelle too (sothat he can feast on the same gazelle again tomorrow), but alas, that’s not possible.

what does “plc” mean here?

I think if we had more open tech (and we will) we could build the tools we need to better organize.

You know, when you print a newspaper, you still have to think about what to write …

so, this might be kind of a risky comment but please bear with me

i mean the problem starts within yourself, and i don’t mean that in an “you’re not doing enough” way. the problem starts because we can’t even define what a solution would look like. i believe that as soon as we have a better way of doing things, we will. the problem is just that in today’s america, there is no significant vision for a worthwhile tomorrow. and that’s the actual crisis. if you think that i’m wrong, please do explain how you imagine the future of the country in 40 years.

and i don’t mean “go back to how it was in 2000” or something. that does not work. the crisis is an economic crisis, first and foremost. there’s mass automation, already since the 1970s. more and more jobs are being removed, and if new branches of economy stagnate, then we’ll eventually run out of jobs. that naturally creates a mass unemployment phenomenon. what do you do about that?

when you’ve answered that question, we can think about all the other problems too. :-)

first of all i don’t “read books” in the classical sense. i think that the better the author, the fewer words they need to get their point across. (there’s a joke from zen buddhism that says that the truly wise master does not need a single word to make a student understand something.)

as a consequence, reading long texts and the accompanying physical pain are not an issue.

people talk about “safety” vs “privacy”, but privacy is safety in an oppressive regime.

life is like a river flowing, you need to be pragmatic in the rapids but can see deep in clear still water

i’ve seen both. there is german program code with german variable names and german comments. yeah, it sounds about as strange as it is.

// diese variable beschreibt den luftzug an den messrohren
var trötflöte = lese_zahl_aus(datenbank);

but it’s rare. most people who work in IT in germany will write english variable names and english comments.

i’ve changed my mind many times after being shown new arguments
