  • Insulation from Nazi genocide, as if hundreds of thousands of Poles were not sent to Syberia and Katyń didn’t happen. As if Soviets didn’t collaborate with Nazis forming the Ribbentrop - Molotov pact. Soviets are perpetrators of WW2 in the same way Nazis are. It’s just Stalin got backstabbed by Hitler the same way he stabbed Poland in the back in 1939.

    I also wonder what exactly do you mean by Polish state being Holocaust collaborators? You do realize there was no Polish state under Nazi / Soviet occupation, except for the London one? How could it have collaborated in Holocaust?

    People were right though, hexbear is just a Russian propaganda tube. I don’t know if you people are paid to do this subhuman work or are you really believe in this alt history bullshit you’re spreading, I feel sorry for you one way or the other.



  • Miss all on accounts my man. I’m Polish and we know full well what it means to live under Russian rule. We remember September 1939 backstab and 1944-45 campaign of bringing freedom by Soviets. My family on all imaginable sides has suffered significant loss from those. Time passes but Russian soldiers somehow behave the same, as proven by the current conflict. So maybe there’s more to it than just “armed conscripts”, I don’t know what it is exactly, but I do fully associate that with Russians. Feel free to call me racist for that, comes out fairly funny given Poles and Russians are Slavs.

    Oh and conscripts you say? Didn’t Russians claim it’s fully professional army back then? So maybe it’s a matter of training. I also don’t think what happened at Bucha can be attributed to actions of a few rogue conscripts, it had to come from a higher level of command.


  • Oh yeah totally, they don’t need to fight Russia, they should just give up and let Russians do what they did in Bucha to the whole country. Of course Russians are known to peacefully incorporate conquered territories with no harm done whatsoever to civilians.

    Some countries might not be worth fighting for, I guess that’s true. Some other countries are always worth fighting against though, and Russia is one of them.






  • Years ago, while I was a poor students I compiled Gentoo on an overclocked Celeron CPU at whopping 533 MHz. Took literally 3 days to get to a functioning KDE desktop.

    Worth every second, especially because it was winter and the dorm room was cold. My friends appreciated it too, they nicknamed my desktop “the reactor” for all the warmth it provided compiling all the damn time.




  • Poland.

    A lot of development and other IT related jobs get outsourced, so experienced devs are in very high demand. We usually work in a B2B arrangement, a developer starts their own company (sole trader I think it’s called in the US) and invoices an agency that deals with corporate customers.

    Salaries are around 3-4x average national salary, with smaller taxes than on a work contract and less safety (which is not a problem due to high demand). Locally, managers do not usually play any role, I report directly to the customer’s managers, usually far away from Poland. If I were to sign a contract with the customer, that’s no longer B2B usually, the salary is less and taxes are higher.


  • Same boat. Nuh uh, you’re not promoting me. I don’t want to have to deal with offshore support, meeting 6 out of 8 hours, making sure Jira board is up to PM’s standards and only reading code when any of the devs have an issue they cannot solve by themselves or something breaks. I tried management career path and hated it with all my heart, quit when they wanted to promote me higher. Let me do what I enjoy, I’ll deliver.

    Bonus points - developers make more than managers up to 2 or 3 levels up where I live, so it doesn’t even calculate.
