Yeah, it was so much nicer with cars everywhere. A great place to raise kids, because if kids need to go somewhere they can just take the car. Glad you found a place where you can park 3 cars, it is very useful to have so many cars.

I am a paying Flickr customer but only begrudgingly so. Part of it is that Flickr lives in a somewhat weird no-mans land where it is bad for photographers but also bad for casual users. As a casual user to drop my photos anywhere Google Pho

In all fairness, this is Congstar being shit, a low-cost MVNO. They could also be shit by locking your SIM to the first IMEI they see on their network, so the only difference is that they need to establish a porting process for eSIM but hav

> It's the revolution that GSM brought: just take your SIM and move it to a different phone. No permission required. This is not really true: 1. SIM-lock is a thing, where providers prevent you from using the phone with another SIM

It is hard to say what my favourite is, but the notion appeals to me immensely. There is a dedicated subreddit for that, /r/BuyItForLife. I own a 1967 BelOMO-produced (Soviet union, now Belarus) Helios 44 lens. It is quite small c

I used to live in Germany and the letters I still get are nearly 80% from Germany. My local government just does things online and never bothers me with paper. It is quite amusing if it weren't this sad. I wanted to vote in German elec

I appreciate the fact that e-bikes are bringing biking to the masses. I really do. But from this post I also read a lot of coping, because your cycling infrastructure is bad. Like the speed argument is completely bogus if you wouldn't

That's a good point, I also have been wondering why it is this slow. Maybe a good time to replace the Zero W with a Zero W 2.

The same argument could be taken to the absurd by saying you only use notepad or nano because they're likely to be installed already so you can be immediately productive.

That's exactly why you virtualize, so you don't just have a bunch of small Pis being mostly idle but less but more powerful machines running a lot of virtual istances that on their own are also mostly idle but you can put enough o

Not from Python to Haskell but Thomas Leonard[1] has a very nice series of blog posts about migrating 0install away from Python to OCaml, of which many points also apply to Haskell which he evaluated as a choice as well. [1]: https:/&

Fact is that Xorg is more or less effectively abandoned, so yes, while distributions don't deprecate them yet because there's still a lot of places where X11 is required this is where it is going. Hmm, I guess you should let Fedor

And also no antenna connector. My Zero W is nice but the connectivity can be bad so being able to attach a camera without jumping through hoops would be nice.

I would wish it would support a few more fonts, like Iosevka, Hasklig and Fira Code. Like others I'd prefer if it didn't display the names of the fonts and an option to say "I don't have a preference between these two&qu

I generally agree that the rules were well-intentioned, so now we have seen a bunch of loopholes being exploited (basically dark patterns) so I fully expect the next revision of these rules to come down with improvements that would make the

In a way Copenhagen has done a similar thing. The harbour used to be a terrible mess in 1995 with sewage and whatnot going in but these days the water is so clean that swimming in the harbour became a thing. Last year the Diesel harbour bus

Or you use contactless payment with your phone which then does not have a 25 EUR limit (actually I think these days it is more like 50 EUR) since the phone supplies some form of authentication, which a plain contactless card can't.

In Germany you have to have an address and submit it to the Bürgerbüro, that's all. But you can be unemployed and move from place to place in Germany, no problem, even to Flensburg. But you can't just (legally) move to up the bord

In Android-land this is currently about the best actually. There is a chance of it improving over time as the updates will be decoupled from hardware support but the situation is markedly worse than on iOS.

Yes, but this can be easily worked around by creating custom types that wrap the integer (and can be unwrapped on compile time) and some conversion functions. So slightly more tedious but saying one can't define complex constraints on

It truly is, theft in general. I moved to Denmark expecting it to be as safe as Germany only to have my backpack stolen while I was eating. Of course the police can't do anything about it, because why would they, they're busy raid
