@randahl And I'm not really accusing them of anything, I actually even kind of admire Poland and what they have achieved as former country of so-called Eastern Bloc. I even considered moving to Poland before this new round of war broke out. Now any other EU country would probably be a better place for the one fleeing Russia — and I still don't blame them, that's understandable.
I'm genuinely surprised as, like I have said, it's been declining in 2016, then I lost track of it and now boom! 😆

@randahl
Yes, this is an important detail and it's true, Poland is big for a European country. Yet, in absolute numbers so to say and outside comparison to Hungary it still surprised me.
The receipts seem to have nearly doubled (to be fair the contributions did too) since 2016 — which is probably the year I have stopped keeping track of these numbers.

Today we find out if Hungarians, who are a 4 billion euro expense in the EU, can tell the Germans, who are a 26 billion euro contributor, that no EU budget money can be spent on defending democracy, because Victor Orbán's friend Vladimir Putin says so.

Wow! I didn't know Poland is THAT dependant on EU money 😱

In a nutshell I see capitalism as an attempt to channel people's greed and put it to good use, this seems more reasonable than attempts to suppress it by some external (to the individual) body. But of course it doesn't always work as expected. Besides, the individuals comprising the regulating body can get greedy too.

This I completely agree with, this is where a lot if not most problems stem from.

@Vonskinnback
Certain Chernobyl disaster would like to have a talk with you about how those are intrinsic properties of capitalism.
In proper capitalism — which is purely theoretical of course, there would be a competing safer product, which everyone would prefer — so the company producing unsafe products would eventually go out of business. Of course in reality it's quite different — but it was always like that. People are greedy, not capitalism or anything else.

@gemlog I believe, in psychology "macho personality" also bears negative connotations and means showing exaggerated negative masculine traits. But some use it in a positive way, which is kinda funny 😁

Hi guys. Here’s a first look at my newest cosplay, Bobbin Threadbare from Loom. I wore it earlier this month at one of my favourite events, Amiga Ireland.

In the meantime, I’m back in Germany. I still have some work ahead of me to finish up the semester, and I’m sure my studies will keep me busy all too soon. Nevertheless, I have some big plans for the next few Amiga costumes.

Currently searching for a software-related job. I recently graduated with a degree in computer science and have experience in industry from a software development internship. I also have a lot of outside experience working with Linux and *BSD and have developed many pet projects in most major programming languages. These projects include web servers, terminal applications, web apps, games, and simulations. I'm also comfortable with functional programming and can learn new concepts at a rapid pace. In addition to all this, I can understand German and also have basic knowledge of Russian.

If you or someone you know of is looking for a software developer and I meet their qualifications, please let me know.
