Meaning to use your device you need to have a contractual relationship with a foreign (unless you are in the US) third party that decides what you can or cannot do with it. Plus using GrapheneOS is less of an option every day, since banks a

So what's wrong with that? You get warned, you ignore the warning and get hacked, that's on you for being dumb enough to download stuff from some shady website. Plus, Android is supposed to have decent isolation and permission con

Wait, does the judge accept each request? I thought at this point LaLiga was giving the ISPs the ranges directly. Plus it's not only Telefonica/O2, this season (started 2 weeks ago) it's also Vodafone, Digi and MasOrange. An

Not just our thinking, but our search for truth. The biggest problem I see is that models can hallucinate or be biased (for example, Grok being told explicitly not to mention Trump and Musk when asked about misinformation) for the benefit o

Do you really miss stuff in VS Code's core editor? I mean, coming to think about it, VS Code feels "feature complete", I haven't found in other editors features that I thought "wish I had this in VS Code". Not

And as a casual Excel user (to get data from CSV, remove some rows, move few things around, etc.) it isn't even great. You can't open two files with the same name because Excel seems to have some "global state" between w

Google Play also has that if you subscribe through there (which might be more expensive because of the fee Google takes), plus an easier refund system if you subscribe to something and decide it's not worth paying it

They are, but that doesn't mean it's their fault when websites fail because LaLiga decided to block an entire ISP. That's pure victim blaming. "Oh, what did you expect when you rely on a third party and another company w

Meanwhile most of what I read on r/Revolut is people getting locked out by Revolut's automated systems to prevent fraud and stuff, without any feasible way of contacting support to recover access in a timely manner.

Yeah, it's more of a "source available" than Open Source in its definition. I'd rather they use AGPL or something like that.

Totally, but IMHO it's better to use those open source building blocks on top of an european provider (or your own infra) instead of getting locked in into any domestic (or foreign) service. Why pay AWS for Cognito and get locked in th

I did that a few years ago too. Then decided to just use OpenSMTPD instead of Postfix, keep Dovecot for IMAP and rspamd for signing DKIM. I followed the guide at https://prefetch.eu/blog/2020/email-server/ an

As in every business decision, you must weigh whether CapEx or OpEx is a better option. Whether that is compute space, offices, vehicles, or almost anything else. For startups? Cloud is really interesting because you get cheap compute witho

There are other "open" CAs that can be used for free. For example, Google Public CA, Buypass and ZeroSSL, which all support the ACME protocol though you need an account there to get EAB credentials, that then are configured in Cer
