  • I actually like the gambling metaphor. Your opponents (billionaires, corporations, renters, etc.) have a strong hand and after check they will always win. I admit that we have some freedom to operate with our cards, but in practice it is often just enough to survive and have just as much resources as to be useful to the company you work in.

  • This is my hypothetical wish for the sake of argument -- an example of a common dream which is plainly unrealistic. Personally I do not have such consumerist whims.

  • Wish that be true. For some people this might be more true, but for less fortunate certainty it isn't.

  • To achieve nothing or a shadow of a substitute of the goal? I wish a house with a swimming pool, and I come from a lower class, do you really think it is achievable for someone earning lower than mediocre salary?

  • I didn't have to worry that someone would call me at a random moment and will assign me some random task.

  • Math should be fun no matter it has practical applications or not. Math is an art, not a trade to make money. For those narrow minded 'practical' people, even pure math has sooner or later some applications.

  • Excellent meme, more like this please!

  • To answer the first question, I need to try the FOSS alternative. To the second matter, it seems that the choice will not affect others so far. Anyway, thanks!

  • Actually I have some freedom to choose, including the relative expensive proprietary software. So in the essence my choice is rather moral one than obligatory.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    My organization provides some proprietary software. What is a motivation to use a FOSS alternative anyway (as a worker)?

  • in some sense these are cool duties, let me know when someone voluntarily emptied septic tanks of other people

  • do you have a slightest idea that not everyone is from germany and have a “Bafög”??? that there are countries where the education is 'free' only theoretically?

    but maybe "that's BS", maybe i am wrong and the rest of the world is exactly like germany

    wow such an ignorance and belief that "you can do what you dream of" is beyond my fucking comprehension

  • Well, thank you sincerely (even if that is meaningless).

  • lawyer should avoid mentioning he’s a lawyer as that would display he was educated and thus insulting people who couldn’t

    she's spend the whole fucking post about bragging how educated she is and what fancy words and concept she knows

    TIL that William James Sidis, a child prodigy, was a socialist. I see an analogy to Einstein.
