Well the fucking thing doesn't work on my mobile phone. I clicked every button and nothing happens.

I swear that listening to a 3 minutes content I am played at least 6 ads of at least 20 non-skippable seconds and in volleys of 2 or sometimes even 3 ads one after another.
It's not "getting terrible", they're already way past that.
Anyhow, from the total number of seats per year, a larger number is allocated to Hungarians and a smaller one to Germans. The caveat being you don't have to be ethically German, only to speak it. In the wake of the new woke movement I can see a radical version of affirmative action where you don't have to be black as long as you identify as one ;) ;) ;)
So with Hungarian they fill those places with what I estimate to be 100% ethnic Hungarians. With Germans however, they're like 99% Romanians and Hungarians who take the hit of having to learn / speak German for the advantage of having fewer competition. Like mainstream (Romanian, Hungarian) computer science can have 10 candidates per seat, the German line has 1.5 or so: much easier to get in. I know a guy who couldn't code a FOP loop (with the typo of P instead of R) out of a paper bag but completed the German computer science line.
In like 5 minutes I could barely walk. Then they laughed again, told me there was no vodka, they were joking. A minute later I was perfectly sober.
Then they laughed again and said the joke was that there's no vodka, actually it was. Predictably, minutes later I was intoxicated again.
To this day I don't know if there was vodka involved or not.
I just learned a new thing, can't wait for the opportunity to use it in real life.
Sure you can refuse to use Facebook and Glassdoor and Amazon and Google account authentication, but then you might as well grow a beard, puton some rags and go live in the woods as a hermit. World doesn't change coze some guy decides to stop talking showers because the water company is an abusing asshole.
The correct response is not to flee from them but fuck them back. I have a throwaway Google account that I use for this purpose. Glassdoor wanted me to register an account? Sure! Review my employer? You bet! I worked as a Principal Engineering Architect at Google making 1.5 million base plus bonus.
There's no requirement to provide the pay stub so I can and will dream up something. And I get the feeling that most figures I see reported by these sites are just that: delirious.
Not sure where you found that, according to this article it was on it's 3 trip, although both the previous ones were near-misses:

Like I go to Crete in August and I cringe entering the sea coze it feels cold. When I was a kid I'd bathe in local rivers, hills area and always took me quite a bit of time to get in (water's maybe 20 Celsius?). And going to the mountains with water exiting a large underground cave (10 deg Celsius), some people would swim in it but even getting with my feet in it would numb my fingers, no way I'm dipping my balls in it .
So again, Iceland and swimming... sounds more like a joke.
So no way I'm returning to the office. Almost all employers here state at least hybrid work (3 office + 2 home) on paper but in reality with tacit acceptance from management it's nearly 100% remote only, with occasional meetup in the office. Like once per sprint or even less.
But definitely "never keep all your eggs in one basket". At most a quarter of all your net worth in stocks and that only if you enjoy having heart palpitations and have mentally resigned to kissing good bye to that capital. Stocks is gambling, advising someone to "invest" is same as "go gamble your money in Vegas". Would you still put your hard earned money in it if you realized what a sham the stock market is?
Real estate, land, ca$h in the bank. Stay out of gambling. But of course the establishment will never give you the last part.
This didn't mean society collapsed and they started living in a Mad Max universe as people defending "stocks can't go to zero" argue.
Stocks industry is just a massive gambling machine. It can and will wipe out all your capital in completely unpredictable ways.
Buy real estate, own land, even keep money in the bank, with all inflation and shit they're much safer than in the cesspool scam that the stock market is.
Fortunately it was mostly in my head and passive aggressive worked very well in reducing expectations. To a point where I became stressed that I was asked too little. Literally "they" forgot about me for a while. So while enjoying a paycheck for nothing, I realized that cannot last so sadly I became more involved, which lead to more work. At least for the time being I seem to have mastered the screws to throttle productivity and become a classic "do the minimum" loser from the Gervais hierarchy. (Which if you familiar with the concept just means long term sustainable amount and nothing more, nothing less).
Slaves don't trade productivity for their lives, they trade time.
No matter how many trillions of times more productive human activities will become, slaves's time will still belong to the masters and very little of their life will belong to them.
Who would have watched them again? A few weirdos and only a tiny random subset chosen by random criteria. Might as well watch the 25% that was preserved and is waay too high anyway.
Some things must just go away.

Am I the only one getting this? Would be discriminatory.
Looking at the comments only makes more obvious the snowflakeness and detachment from reality of the "software artists" bunch.
If they hire a guy to (re)model their bathroom, they expect it for free done yesterday. What I mean is that there's usually a complete turnover effect on the demands they have on people working on THEIR money and the lax and forgiving way they expect to be treated on OTHERS people money.
The "Fruitarians" already have their tight communities. Everyone who wanted to be in such a community is there already, not dumbly questioning on HN.
It's useless when fiat still exists (along with the governments to back it). And if the Atomic Holocaust arrives, good luck buying your way out of Warsaw Ghetto with some stupid numbers stored on distributed hard drives when the infrastructure has been reduced to smoking shreds.
