It is weird to see it be a somewhat practical recommendation. I mained Gentoo pre-0.1 days back when the alpha was revolutionary and the idea of including the stage 3 binaries in the distro was controversial. Wars raged in the forums over which USE flags worked best.

But then compute got so much cheaper I stopped caring and I mostly used corporate distros for work.

I recently installed LMDE on an ancient 1.83Ghz celeron netbook, but it runs like dogshit. Maybe I ought to dust off my USE flag game and see if I can squeeze more life out of it. I'm sure just using something other than cinnamon would work as well, but what fun would that be?

And likewise a successful impeachment would be required for it to mean anything in the US.

... I wrote to the Soviet Embassy. Not only did they write back, they sent me a big box of stuff. So yeah, I had an FBI file before I was an adult.

After: ~1,337 days, 271 releases, 78,000 stars on GitHub, 1,558 contributors, 31,500 members on Discord, 36,000 members on Reddit, 68 languages on Weblate, Surviving the controversial announcement about joining FUTO, Having overwhelming success and support from the community with the product keys model, Launching the Merch store, Attending our first FOSDEM, ...and before the release of GTA VI We are thrilled to announce the stable release of Immich! 🎉

I'm really excited about such a large project adopting semver! I never got the trend for software without a need for rapid release cycles adopting purely time-based version numbers.

Uh... no. Not how it works. I remember secondhand cringe also.

valid for up to 37 days per year... only with the employee's consent and with 40 percent increased pay

Interesting contrast. In the US, we have no limit to overtime amount, but past 40 hrs must be at 1.5x rate... in theory. I regularly work 16 hour shifts with no extra overtime pay because I am not going over 40 hours. Further, I worked 56 hours last week without any overtime pay... because I have to work a second job to pay for health insuance. That 40 hr limit applies to each employer separately.

"Employee consent" here is a convenient fiction because we can be typically be fired without cause.

US law, summarized:

If an employee works more than 40 hours in a week, he or she must be paid “time-and-a-half” the regularly hourly rate, as mandated by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Not exactly an unbiased opinion... He just wants a market to sell more chips.

This, but 28 months and remove that blue line at the top right.
