  • For those who will just skim the title: the part of the salary being cut was never meant to be a permanent part of the salary package, and was meant to help pay for relocation to Bogotá as part of the transition into being a member of Congress. The salary has now dropped from ~14k USD/month to just shy of 10k USD/month, and the Colombian Congress isn’t happy about it. I know well paid latin-American software developers working 2 jobs who still don’t make that much a month, by comparison.


  • They just did a video through FUTO where they go over all “missing” features and why they haven’t or aren’t implementing them. Almost from the start they essentially said that if it’s still missing by now, there’s a reason why, and they mostly have everything they wanted to build into immich already on immich. I would imagine a feature complete project would be in more of a maintenance phase, and maintenance being slow during the holidays sounds… Pretty normal to me.


  • The two party system is all too common in way too many countries; a good chunk of us has probably spent most of our lives, and will probably spend the rest of them, seeing stupid people being elected because the alternative is another clown from the other team. What nobody else has is the firepower of the next 20 nations combined. To the surprise of absolutely fucking nobody, too much power can turn you into a bully. The US military complex needs to be dismantled by the rest of the imperial core or the imperial core won’t last much longer, and let’s not even get started with the UN.
