I mean I guess that’s sound advice if you don’t need to, I don’t know, print?

Ah, that would be “multa” then, or “contravvenzione” if you’re feeling antique

Stronfiazitelle, naturally. Now what does Strafzettel mean?

Oh, TIL. Not that I have seen a lot of German traffic violations, every time I see a D licence plate they are driving nicely in the right lane with their bicycles strapped to the back of the car, not bothering anyone.

Italian here from the fediverse, what are we doing to German tourists now? Are we schickting a bunch of stratzfettel? Is that a good thing?

Guy 1 and 3 fucked up big time, now their display of love for Christmas spices is ruined. What were they thinking

Yeah one month is the standard practice here too, as a negotiated shortening of the three month notice. It’s good to have the other two months paid out, that’s all I’m saying.

If you’re hopping within the country, usually the local culture is adapted. I never had issues with it, employers expect you to have a resignation period.

Plus as I was saying companies don’t really like to have a working quitter, so they will usually negotiate for that time to be shortened. Maybe one month so you can transfer your knowledge to somebody else, then you’re out - with the three months money, naturally.

Yes of course it does, but standardised employment contract are rather common in Europe - at least in the few countries I worked in, YMMV. There are exceptions of course, but I imagine for Americans the idea of state laws mandating your entitlement to three months of salaries plus severance money must sound outlandish.

IDK my man, having three months of forewarning for resignation sounds pretty cool to me. I don’t really see it as a downside. Especially in Italian law, where you can avoid making things awkward by agreeing with your employer to make the resignation time as short as you both want, as long as those three months are paid out. Blessed.

Let me introduce you to Europe

When the university buys an f35 we can talk about it, this is small arms.

That’s rich coming from someone who threatens to intervene with her army if someone complains to her

This but unironically. Can’t remember one time when I needed or even thought about using a cable in my iPhone tenure.

Yes but 99.9% of users don’t care about any of that, that’s what others were saying in this conversation.

Just to bring my personal pov: I’m a tech guy and I couldn’t care less about any of those features. My phone is an appliance like my dishwasher, i only need it to do well the few things it does for me and the iPhone does them incredibly well. Productivity work and fun is done on real computers. I don’t care if android phones can purr or do somersaults.

If you like to do complicated stuff on your phone then those things matter to you and you will deem iOS inferior, and that’s fine. But realise you are planets away from the average user.

Fun fact: in Italian “Chicago” means “I crap in it”. Apt homophone for a city built on a body of water.

Cheers

I don’t get the tomato’s joke… does Roma have any meaning other than gypsy? Or what am I missing here?

You are technically correct (I know) but I would argue that distros that come with a certain DE usually have their experience built into it. Sure you can install gnome in kde neon but don’t expect anything to work, if it does it’s mostly by accident.

This is true for distros that cater to “simple” users that want to install and be productive of course, not for those like Debian or arch which cater to users who want to build their own experience.
