There's something oddly comforting about the idea that "if you're not paying for the product, you're the product," namely, the corollary: "If you can afford to pay for a product, you won't be the product." But it's bullshit. Companies don't make you the product because you don't pay - they make you the product because you can't stop them.

job search (help wanted, feel free to share)
Hi, so, it looks like I'm looking for a job again, as a sysadmin, developer, or translator.
I do not have any formal qualification unfortunately, because institutionalised education just doesn't work for me.
However:
• I have (hobbyist) experience in server administration and have been running my own services for almost a decade now.
• I am fairly familiar with Rust, Python, OCaml, shell, and have basic knowledge of Lua, Haskell, Scheme, Racket (also with Java, JavaScript, C but I'd rather not touch these).
• For whatever that's worth, I spent two semesters studying computer science at HU Berlin, one studying computer engineering at TU Berlin, and almost finished a two-year apprenticeship as an IT specialist (german „Fachinformatiker Systemintegration“)
• I am fluent in German, English, and Dutch.
Due to circumstances I'd rather not elaborate in public I need very flexible working hours and the option to work from home. I also don't really know how many hours I can actually work; during that apprenticeship I never managed more than four hours a day or four days a week. That was in an open plan office, and maybe I could work more under the right conditions, but I'd want to start at ~10h/week and see if/how that can be increased later.
So yeah, if anyone knows someone who knows someone, etc, feel free too refer them to me
LGBT rights, Poland, please boost
(Reposted from Birdside, thread)
Today, the Polish parliament will read a proposed law that makes it illegal to "promote homosexuality", including - I am not exaggerating - pretty much ANY positive talk of LGBT+ people and their rights in public settings.
And foreign media seem almost entirely silent on this.
The law was drafted a while ago, but didn't get into the Parliament for procedural reasons.
It EXPLICITLY bans e.g.:
I almost forgot woke IKEA Switzerland, which used Blahaj to promote the referendum in favor of the legalization of marriage for gay ppl
