Yes, it’s by design. You should probably read this https://mullvad.net/en/browser/mullvad-browser

I meant, the priorities for the society as a whole. Our governments and laws are formed accordingly. On individual level it’s same here as well. We have people who reject (or abuse) the system, who hate the taxes etc. But our society is formed to provide certain things like free access to education, healthcare and collective social security for elderly and those who can’t support themselves.

Vibe coding security problems is all we ever talk about these days.

But they’re all afraid to say anything or trying to stop it because they think the Swedish people will vote for the Nazi party if they don’t keep deporting immigrants. It’s all just game to get votes and appear anti-immigration. Sweden really is the European mini-U.S.

Never heard of 996 but feels like these types of articles pop up every time there’s some kind of tech hype cycle going on. Silicon valley is full of IT heroes, ready to sacrifice it all - their families, health, environment - in order to make it big. Get rich or die trying. That’s the American Dream, right? Work hard, provide full value to shareholders and some precious honey might trickle down to you. The American “success culture” we Europeans apparently lack.

Meanwhile, here I am, I’m living in northern European social democratic utopia with free healthcare, education and annual, fully paid 6 week vacation while wondering why my 4-day work week is taking so long,.

Different priorities, I guess.

large collection of services in docker.

Ok, so the error message would indicate lack of available file descriptors and that probably depends on what your docker services are doing at the time and if you’ve set any ulimits on your containers.

So what are your host vs. docker ulimits? If you haven’t set any container ulimits, it’ll just use the global from the host.

ulimit -Hn

Longer explanation: https://www.baeldung.com/linux/limit-file-descriptors

So what are your ulimit’s set to? What are you running when that starts?

uBlock Origin with everything enabled, not using apps on phone (using browser instead) and using services like Kagi and Nebula for adfree quality search and videos

IPO is clearly closing in fast. Enshittification intensifies. The VC’s need to get their ROI out so they can move to the next grift. Apparently they’re also going to have “age inference model that runs in the background” (read: AI) that pops in and hits your with that age verification if it determines you’re actually not acting like a teen.

I’d actually rather see many federated solutions with cross-EU interoperability instead of making yet another payment monopoly

Nice try feds!

USA is not a serious country. What an absolute shit hole.

I think Blizzard is one of the more profitable studios under Microsoft so I very much doubt it

You’re saying Lemmy usage is turn on? I’m not judging, you do you, but that’s a weird fetish

Why? I’m not against developers getting paid to do FOSS work. It’s far more reasonable than the whole “bazaar of free people”-model that lives entirely on ideology.

and let’s not forget - systemd, which has RedHat money backing it up.

It’s been 12 years since Heartbleed and we’ve had numerous ”lone maintainer” issues since then. The situation shouldn’t come as a surprise or be especially ”hard to believe”.

This is the state of free software, especially when it matures.

Unless the creators manage to roll some kind of ”commercial” version, it’s not very sustainable in the long run. Turns out many eyes don’t really equal many PRs

And EU could also anti-trust regulate US companies operating in the EU-zone.

ideally any European tech companies wouldn’t replicate the enshittification of America’s big tech companies.

But they will (just look at Spotify) when given the chance. Companies exist outside our real and ideological borders. They are products of capitalism. The way to control them is regulation, worker rights and agency. Trying to appeal to their sense of morality won’t work. They don’t have any, they’re companies.

Sure. We should have alternatives to the big US tech companies, but so should the US. There should be innovation and competition. But it’s not going to materialize by just telling people we should “buy European”. The only way to get away from this situation is through strict, enforced anti-trust controls and laws demanding interoperability.
