Fellow EndeavorOS enjoyer here, I love the hand-holding it does for you at the beginning (calamares installer, pick whichever DE that tickles your fancy, access to AUR and other goodies by default), but then basically beyond that point, you’re on your own. The fact that it’s Arch based also means that 9.99 times out of 10, you can always consult the Arch Wiki for any issues.

It’s like an Arch Linux starter pack that gives you the option to take off the training wheels at any time lol.

For something multi-platform as a music downloading solution, I recommend Lucida instead:

https://lucida.to/

you just paste the link of an album/song (whether via Qobuz, Deezer, Tidal, etc…) and download away. Then all you have to do is unzip the resulting archive file.

For anyone doing research (or more generally, studying in uni), consult the literature pirate’s equivalent of the Library of Alexandria:

https://libgen.is/

And fuck copyright in academia (fuck copyright and academia in general), here’s a site that let’s you bypass research article paywalls (pick one of the instances):

https://www.sci-hub.pub/

Yep, looking at this again months later, I’d say this one’s a lot easier on the eyes, nice one :)

off-topic here as well, why stop at privacy policies? EULAs can get wilder, best such example of which is Apple:

it’s pretty hard to paint a general picture of lemmy when, more often than not, one instance is drastically different from the other.

detective conan sure had a hard time cracking the case!

“The personal information we collect from you may be stored on a server located outside of the country where you live. We store the information we collect in secure servers located in the People’s Republic of China,” the privacy policy reads.

Oh the horror! Let’s look at what our glorious spawns-of-techbro heroism has for us in store:

Claude:

So not only is your data “possibly” stored in one country, now there’s a possibility of it being stored in many different countries. Where’s the outcry for that?

Ok, so maybe your data being under the jurisdiction of another country is sus, right?

In another section about how DeepSeek shares user data, the company states that it may share user information to “comply with applicable law, legal process, or government requests.”

OH MY GOD SOUND THE ALARM!

ChatGPT:

Claude:

So not only can your data be subject to the authorities, but it’s also handed out to 3rd parties (mind you, DeepSeek does the exact same, so why is it any surprise?).

Not only does DeepSeek collect “text or audio input, prompt, uploaded files, feedback, chat history, or other content that [the user] provide[s] to our model and Services,” …

🤦… You get the idea now, bother yourself with the privacy policies of the respective contemporaries and CTRL + F to “User Content” or “User Input”… Same fucking shit.

Companies with AI models like Google, Meta, and OpenAI collect similar troves of information, but their privacy policies do not mention collecting keystrokes.

Yes, collecting keystrokes is probably the oddest thing here. To compare data farming giants with a decade and a half’s worth of data collection to a startup in terms of data collection is so astronomically dumb.

I could go on but I’m bored now. Do your own research.

I tried DeepSeek, and immediately fell in love… My only nitpick is that images have to have text on them, otherwise it complains, but for the price of free, I’m basically just asking for too much. Contemporaries be damned.

I 2nd this, either the person is taller than the average tall Pole, or resided in a gmina for a long time that has low ceilings and thought it’s the same everywhere…

If this “partially automates” the problem, then it’s good enough for me. I think this is as close as close can get to what I’m looking for, I will try this out for sure, thanks!

does it change the aptly-attributed title “cinematic masterpiece” in any way, hmmmmm?

Yep, that’s true, the latest census was from 2021, and the figure was 3.69%.

Probably the figures weren’t available to Ipsos at the time, despite the publishing date :/? Idk…

Alternative view (directly from the source):

IMO being off by around 10% or more is still quite the leap.

in essence, civil contracts is an umbrella term for two types of contracts: Contract of Mandate (Umowa zlecenie) and Contract for specific work (Umowa o dzieło). Employment contracts (umowa o pracę), which are its own category of contracts, are the regular employment contracts most people are familiar with.

Basically, the 1 major difference between the civil contracts and employment contracts is that you’re entitled to benefits (overtime compensation, maternity/paternity leave, PTOs), work is done in specific work hours (up to 8 hours per day if I recall correctly) and are governed by the Labor Law (at the cost of taxes 😦), whereas the civil contract has none of those and are regulated under the Civil Code, with the benefit of having a higher take-home pay. Oh and either an employee or employer can terminate the agreement at any time under the civil contract.

The changes coming into effect at the start of 2025 concern employers not because this limits the opportunities of foreigners, surprise surprise, they don’t give a fuck. They’re concerned because this means they will lose out on $$$ that they save from not having to pay those benefits, and foreigners are concerned because this basically limits their options at getting anything resembling a job legally in a job market that’s already in the crappiest state possible.

Yep, I searched for “Safe Place” as was originally in your comment and found “Safe Space” seconds later, which I assumed what you were referring to

Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for, ty!

Bingo.

what blind “brand loyalty” to Apple and sinking cost fallacy combined looks like:

simply put, i thought it’d be more interesting to do it that way

It seems that relations started in 1975, but formal recognition commenced in 2010:
