The answer depends on a LOT of things. Most importantly country of origin.
If you’re from Latin America, most people won’t even notice. Since we already have huge amount of Latin American immigrants, so we are used to it.
If you’re from a “white” country, it’s very important that you are respectful to the local culture and try to genuinely learn Spanish. This is mostly a problem with tourists instead of immigrants, but most Spaniards hate with passion when foreigners complain about things not being in English/German/french/whatever.
If you’re from a “black” country, it depends on where you move to. In some parts of Spain you’ll inevitably face a lot of racism. In others, you’ll find groups of people that will try to protect you. But as always, there’s always at least some racists.
And of course, don’t do crime. But that goes for locals too.
And I think this is a global advice. But people will instantly judge if you are lazy or hard-working. If you help your local community without asking much in return, people will probably talk about how hard working you are, and even racists will probably say “for being for country X, he’s a nice guy”.

You can try using encapsulation to reduce the amount of fields technically, but in the end it’s the same amount of information in a single god class.

If the society is not democratic, it would be authoritarian. Therefore what I explained could happen.

If you jail that billionaire, which is not hard as a state if said billionaire resides in your country, you can “convince” him to give even assets in foreign countries.
That’s why they removed his passport.

But it is incredible that the party with most scandals and corruption (PP) claims that they’ll party will do less corruption than them. Why don’t the media give attention to other parties that have less corruption than PSOE instead of the masters of corruption PP?
We no longer live in a 2-party country.

calcopiritus@lemmy.worldto Europe@feddit.org•Stop Killing Games update: 1 Million in the EU!English11·9 days agoMost legislation is not done through petitions like these.
The EU is composed of tens of countries with very different cultures. And plenty of parties.
In the US there are only 2 parties. And they mostly vote in favour of whatever their party wants.
Having multiple parties means that it is very rare for a single party to have 50% of the vote. Which means they have to make agreements constantly. Which is very time consuming.
Let’s say you have parties ABCDEF. Parties A and B are big, the other small.
Party A wants to make a law. It either needs help of B, or 2 of the small parties. Parties BC are immediately opposed. So it has to convince D, E or F. D will only support it if they can pass another bill. That other bill is a deal breaker for E and F.
Now A’s only option are E and F. So if they want to have that bill passed, they’ll have to give E and F whatever they want. Which probably A doesn’t want. So even though A is a big party, it is impossible for them to pass that bill.

This is drinking water”English2·12 days agoI’m not talking about the technical possibility. Of course you can have multiple video stream, one per participant.
I’m saying that without multicast, it can be more resource intensive than having intermediate servers that can multicast on the application layer.
calcopiritus@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•As Data Centers Proliferate, Illinois Communities Grapple with How to Supply the Necessary Water. "This isn’t reused wastewater. This is drinking water”English2·12 days agoIs a connection between 3+ people still p2p? Or is there another term for it?
I don’t know how this would work over the internet though.
On a LAN you could use multicast, but I don’t think ISPs support multicast, it seems like it would be an easy way to DoS. But I honestly don’t know.
So, if you can’t multicast, the way to have serverless multi-user video calls would be to have a separate video feed for each receiver, which I can see using more resources than through a server that would replicate the stream to all the receivers. Of course this is dependant on distance, even without multicast it consumes more resources if everyone is in the same LAN.

Fill in the blank please.
calcopiritus@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani says 'I don't think we should have billionaires'3·13 days agoAnd what I’m saying is that what you claim I claimed was never claimed by me.
Since the discussion seems to have derailed let me do a brief summary:
- Original guy: here are some opinions I have
- Other guy: your opinions don’t make sense, some of them contradict other ones
- Me: they don’t contradict at all. It is perfectly coherent to have those opinions.
- You (correct me if I’m wrong): your opinion is wrong because it seems you’re a contestant for a contrarian contest.
Having more people always adds overhead. It’s not only software developers.
You don’t need to have two developers working on the same piece of code, you can have each one working on a feature. And different teams can develop different projects/products. If a project takes 1 year to complete but you want an output of 2 projects per year, you don’t need to overwork your current employees. You can hire a new team so there are 2 simultaneous projects being worked on at the same time.
