Because it is safer. With Wordpress and other execution environments your attack vectors will increase. Why would I use Wordpress if all I need are some static sites and maybe a form? I would rather use a form handler that processes data th

Of course you probably don't want to correlate that but the fact these apps are battle-proven for so many years is a good sign if you search for something stable that you can rely on. Probably even in decades to come. There is many cre

Probably like musicians and a lot of them use platforms to publish their songs to listen to for free to gain momentum and attract enough people who will be delighted to get a Vinyl (in case of books it would be a hard cover). When I persona

When did wealthy people care for this? Wealth means you can buy nearly anything and that includes people who found a non-profit so one can use them to get to entities like WMF. The scariest scenario in my opinion is their growing influence

I am going back to the 90ies. In my opinion it was much easier to block those popups etc. as they've not been as invasive as the current malware. Of course back then there was already stupid things as well but it scaled and got a lot w

I've been there & have done that, thank you ;) For my own services it's okay to host them from home but "the web" just doesn't work like this anymore. Do something big and you'll want to get things like DDo

In this case they should have done their market analysis properly I think. One of the USP's for Apple devices for me always was the quality of materials and production. Weakening this point of reference by opting for poor quality mater

I basically concur but not all of us can just "flick a switch" here. The most of my customers still need a lot of "obsolete" connectors as well as my devices which I won't replace just because they have no USB-C yet

UPDATE: The support was very fast and kind and they unlocked my account without the need to provide a phone number.

Your welcome :) Yes it seems to be difficult sometimes though I have to admit I also jump the gun from time to time when certain topics or phrases trigger me. Out of curiosity: was it a conscious decision for France and against Germany or d

I don't quite get you. Do you think that my source is not valid or do you think faking KPIs is a low standard?

Thank you very much for this sentiment. I think so, too and while I enjoy to discuss my views in an pseudo anonymous way here there seem to be people who are even now afraid to join a fair discussion. Maybe they hope to make me shut up but

Then you should talk to people who where actually living there and you will be surprised. Also a look at statistics helps to get rid of this too positively drawn picture. As I said they even fake some numbers to let it appear to be better n

It is an arms race and it is the right time for the industry to use the growing fear and demand for security in the global population to make some extra $$$ (just seen from a purely economical point of view of course). I agree that it is pr

I hope I did not offend you somehow by phrasing it too American but you seem to understand what I say just fine.

This is a very rational point of view but to be completely valid consumers would have to be rational consumers which I really don't see.

Of course we can do better than neoliberalism (and this does not lead to communism or socialism automatically). In Europe they have some interesting models in between that provide social security, health care and a lot of other great things

Yes they can by using a VPN for example.

"Finding interesting stuff" maybe. But finding a lot of the things I used to find some years ago is just not possible anymore. Somehow searching changed as well as the ecosystem of the web itself. The big global players dominate n

It is absolutely no stupid question. That you ask this just shows you are a reasonable person :) 1. It is a status symbol (as in "my car is bigger than your car") 2. It is sturdier and has more weight so it will physically dominat

Same here. I didn't want to give them my number and they blocked my account because of 'suspicious behaviour'. Now I wrote to their support after reading this and I am very interested in their response. I think if they go on

Wow this is an awesome idea! While editing PDFs on Linux for me was always connected with pain I also had no joy using a plain macos for this. While the preview app is able to do some things it cannot do others that matter. I wanted to copy

This is one of the reasons I didn't buy any new MBP after 2016 anymore. I was so unsatisfied with many changes ranging from the keyboard disaster to the loss of ports that are still industry standard and used every day for some years t

+1 for this. When working in Germany I talked to citizens who told me their state is also heading that direction. More things are denationalized so private companies now have the responsibility but also the revenue (like "Autobahn&quot

I have heard something similar about a grammar school in Germany. Every 2nd year a student killed himself and also drug abuse and other things like that are more commonplace there compared to other types of schools in the city. It seems tha

This is what I criticize about the increasing pseudo-individualism in the western world. If all of us want to be completely different from all the others we don't have many things in common anymore and there is no reason to unionize or

I see the same problems with the python ecosystem. There is a lot of tools and confusion between versions especially because of the breaking changes between v2 and v3 (try to explain someone why he has both and when he types python it will

Yes this is nice but you can't really compare it to a standalone app like Typora / MarkText besides how it handles the content. Some people don't need the 1k features VS Code gives you but some really good, minimalist editor
