  • More than the south sure. As a tourist you wouldn't have any difficulty getting directions or ordering at restaurants or things like that. Places where you can work effectively without any knowledge of the local language are more difficult to find. And those are the hardest countries to get in as a migrant.

  • Well in Germany there's a greater percentage of English speakers than in other European countries, I don't think there are many teams in Spain, Italy or France speaking in English.

    I'm not in IT so my knowledge is not first hand but I do know that while there are jobs the competition is crazy, job offers for a single position or two get thousands of applications. For a company to hire someone on the other side of the pond op would have to really stand out from the other thousand applicants.

  • I don't want to demoralize you just to be realistic. Those languages aren't getting you very far (maybe try in Ireland or malta), English proficiency in the eu isn't great. Also those fields you listed are super saturated.

    When you say remote do you mean working from the states? A European wage with American CoL? I think many Americans think we're paid the same as them. We are not. A waiter in the us prolly makes more than a (medical) doctor or an engineer over here, and I'm not talking about fresh out of college.

    Hotels, bars, restaurants in some touristy areas in Spain (east coast, Mallorca, Ibiza..) do hire native English speakers. Also teaching English as a second language. But I'm not sure you'll get many offers without being already here.

  • No, that's not my assumption. Where did I say that? Rich people are mostly born, not made.

  • English is not my first language and I'm no expert in sewers maintenance so substitute whatever trade/job title instead of plumber.

    I'm not against this robot quite the opposite. But I'm curious about the reaction when technology 'takes the jobs' of working class people like in this case (or you know last couple centuries) being very different than when it takes the job of artists, journalists, writers...

  • In which world they aren't? Like if you have the option of working throwing paint onto a pice of cloth or taping bananas to walls would you chose to work with literal human shit to your knees and your elbows??

    Also see my other comment, only 8% of artist (in the UK) are working class against A FUCKING 100% plumbers being working class.

  • Not trolling at all. I used to hang around an art school when I was a teenager, the vast majority of those kids came from pretty well off families. The small percentage that were of a more working class background were there to get into graphic design or the-like in college, so they didn't end up being artists.

    A quick web search gives that only 8% of artists are working class in the UK which is a wealthy country, I'd bet the percentage goes down in poorer ones.

  • Generative ai is also machine learning, and you could say that the ai is generating movements and actions for the drone. My question, that was not about the underlying technology or semantics, still stands.

  • So now all Lemmy is on board with this AI. Why is acceptable for technology to take the jobs of plumbers (usually poorer) but it's evil for it to take the job of 'artists' (usually rich)????

  • Kid's already got the genius hair and all. I foresee a bright future.

  • Pope Felix V.

  • I see you know your judo well!

  • Confidence boost! Lots of policemen have touched my penis and none has said anything like that!

  • Well I'm inferring your dad's not a young lad anymore, twice a day is quite impressive even more at 6 o'clock! I think they're a bit in the honeymoon phase, it'll mellow eventually*.

    But to answer your question I have two options: -Tell him to lower the volume or pick some time you're not home IF it's your home, as in your dad has come to live with you or you are roommates, or you are too young to live by your own. -But IF it's his home and you are old enough then get your own flat/room or some good headphones and let them enjoy life.

    *Or not, I don't know your dad or his girlfriend. Wish them the best tho.

  • Maybe it's playing devil's advocate but how is this consistent? Can you put a listing in Amazon, booking, Airbnb.. and tell the customer 'don't buy it here! Come to my site or call directly to us and we'll give you a better price without Amazon's (or any other) cut!'? Also with the third party apps/stores on iOS (which I support more than this one even if I feel that it can go very wrong) I don't see them doing it with other platforms like Nintendo's or Sony's (PlayStation).

  • I think it is unlikely. The us is extremely expensive compared to Russia or China, like a janitor in an American weapon factory is probably better paid (in absolute terms, not taking into account cost of living or anything) that a top engineer in a Russian or Chinese one. I don't think they could afford them.

  • I don't know much about nuclear plants either but I do know a bit about wires and I think you are correct. It's very unlikely that one of these cables just snaps, look how they twisted the wires in that 'arm' so it can move and bend forming a nice elbow. So if it's corrosion, temperature, mechanical shock... it could affect other cables as well making advisable to replace the whole bunch altogether.

    That said I've seen a very similar looking wiring, though very different machine, an electronic organ from the 60s. Among other issues there were some dead keys on one of the keyboards and the problem was the wires. I just ran a new bunch with an exactly looking cable, laced it the same way as the other bunches, and put it kind of hidden between them. It didn't stand out at all, most people would not notice at all.

  • Do a search for 'sedes (or sedia) stercoraria' and/or 'Pope Joan'.

  • While you are right on everything said there's only three requirements to be pope: having a penis, being baptized in the Catholic Church, and having being ordered a bishop. The last too can be done real quick in a pinch so the only hard pre-requisite is having your junk hanging down there, no need to be a priest even.

  • Does she have a penis? Because that and be baptized in the Catholic Church are the only requisites. And they DO check! They have a special chair for that purpose and all.
