News and information from Europe πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

I've been saying it since 2016: the EU should start granting political asylum to people from the US.

edit: I did say political

I moved from the U.S. to Germany in 2020.

My running joke since was wondering whether I’d be eligible for citizenship or asylum first….

Almost over the finish line for being eligible for citizenship, but I feel like asylum isn’t that far off.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don't need asylum if you are a legal resident. Asylum is the most insecure form of permit, especially in Germany, where the society is currently getting more and more hostile to migration, including labeling countries like Afghanistan as "safe countries of origin" and organizing deportations with the Taliban.

I'm doing my part fleeing to Sweden, granted I'm a programmer and game dev so not a scientist. I'm done letting the US profit off my skills though

[–] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 4 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Don't forget to get rid of your US citizenship or they'll still profit off your work.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 39 points 1 day ago

You will like it, Sweden has a nice relaxed working culture where we actually care about how people feel at work.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

I want more European game developers, so yeah good on you

[–] Brodysseus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Did you just job hunt over there and get a work visa?

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 7 points 19 hours ago (6 children)

I've got enough tech experience I probably could have. I'm going back to school though out of savings and going to get on a student visa

Canada seriously needs to make a big show of offering the same thing. It's now or never.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 day ago (17 children)

We don't have the housing. Carney needs to get the government into home building yesterday.

Germany needs plenty. But only the cheap ones with expert knowledge. That’s not how they would word it though
