If you get yourself a job offer (not a vacancy) you can get yourself a staying permit. Getting into a school is an option too.
Tip: go trough frankfurt airport. Much less paperwork and explaining to do there

Weird isn’t it? We only tend to notice those who are noticeable

More taxes paid are still more taxes paid. Regardless of whether that’s a large or small portion of someone’s income.
More tax revenue is more money for social services.
I know it’s not all perfectly fair, but it’s not all bad.

- Comment on What is AI good for? (derogatory) 1 week ago:
ChatGPT is just an example most people are familiar with. But if you’d like to put examples of other tech, go for it
- Comment on What is AI good for? (derogatory) 1 week ago:
Yes, machine learning is great! Unfortunately the terms ML and AI got conflated recently.
ChatGPT actually pretends to be clever. An app that takes a bunch of pictures and spits out a % of how much “kitten” might be in it is not quite what one would think of when talking about AI.
yet it’s machine learning so people call it AI nowadays

- Comment on Germany’s four-day work week proves to be a massive hit 2 weeks ago:
