I moved from Germany to Estonia because in Germany, there really is no political willingness to support entrepreneurship, startups or the internet in general. If you’re not a big car company, you’re not going to be happy in Germany as a com

Your comment makes no sense whatsoever. So you can’t compare a hammer with a screwdriver because a screwdriver can’t hammer nails, even though they’re both tools? That’s what analogies are for. ChatGPT is like a motor in the sense that it i

Of course companies would pay for data if they had the choice. And small companies often do in case of a ransom attack. But if you're as big as Sony, there's really no upside to paying them. Like the other commenter said, if they

The person in the comments merely noted that it doesn't work well in Vietnam. Given that this is the internet, and given that the author said it works well without giving a clear location as to where it works well, I think it's sa

Because the title of the article is "An open-source maps app that doesn't suck" when it should have been "An open-source maps app that doesn't suck in the US". There are people on here that don't live in t

Honestly, for most applications at home, I struggle to justify even 1 Gbit/s. At my location, I have the option to upgrade to a 1 Gbit/s connection at the click of a button. I currently get 500/500 Mbit/s for ~45€ per mo

And of course, you check every commit for malicious code and newly introduced backdoors, right? Right?

This argument lacks for the average consumer. Heavily. Do you compile every update of Firefox yourself (and this assumes that you have read every line of code that changed during updates)? Especially when on Windows or macOS, you just downl

> this can be avoided with ext4 by doing frequent backups lol. Nothing is stopping you from doing manual backups using ZFS. One should never rely on just one backup anyways, if the data is critical. For me, snapshots are a great way to p

I started using ZFS a few years ago. Before that I didn't know that I could develop such a strong feeling towards a file system. But here we are. In my mind, it really revolutionized the meaning of file system. It feels like much more

Nice. How long until I can scan my body with my iPhone and then try on virtual clothes so I can buy them if they fit me?

Good question. Probably PayPal, even though I would consider them to be even looser with the ban hammer than Stripe. But when speaking internationally, they probably support the most payment methods? Adyen and checkout.com also look quite c

I feel like this is an issue in general. As soon as you rely on one company to do one thing, you're SOL as soon as something happens. As a small business, basically nobody cares about you. Be it AWS, YouTube, Stripe, PayPal, you name i

Paddle does this, for example. In this case, it's not you selling the product/service to the customer directly. Instead, you sell it to Paddle and Paddle sells it to the customer on your behalf: https://www.paddle.com&#

If I understand this proposal correctly, this is exactly to prevent such things. Yes, of course, it’s to prevent people from using ad block. But a nice side-effect is to block crawlers, or frameworks like selenium as well, so they can „serv

I mean that’s part of the point. It’s there to exactly lock out scrapers. Or crawlers, for that matter. What a happy little coincidence.

Well said. I don't necessarily think that PHP can and should only do HTML rendering. Laravel for example includes a nice job queue which in my opinion makes perfect sense, as it is tightly integrated with the rest of the system, even i

I’m a huge PHP fan. But hell, no. Why don’t we use tools for the things they are good at? PHP as a backend server language is great, because it was built for it. Just like JavaScript is intended for web frontend applications. In my opinion,

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Just because it's one file doesn't mean it's better. It'll be shit to maintain, it'll make working with multiple developers a pain (merge conflicts much) and having

So, PayPal. You sign in on PayPal.com, and PayPal communicates with the merchant. That’s how it works today. You never give any secret data to the merchant. You only allow the merchant to ask PayPal for your money. That’s exactly how your p

Sorry, but in this case it absolutely does. The alternative would be, for example, to request ID verification when signing up for a freaking TikTok account. Because that’s what you’re going to get if you prevent fraud prevention. I totally

From what I know, at least in my country, this is the case. Additionally, in the case of Google Domains, nothing is stopping you from migrating your domains to some other registry right now, before they get transferred over to Squarespace.

So, PayPal, with the exception of „whatever“, as subscriptions may increase in price or you decide to upgrade without wanting to adjust your payment method. Plus, you have excellent protection as a buyer on PayPal with the option to request

That's basically paying via QR code, and not an entirely new concept. Crypto works this way, and I believe WeChat or similar payment systems, too. Good idea for one-time payments, but honestly, those are no longer the norm. If you&#x27
