To me it's just about what was taught in schools to me, and what I can find on my own. If you Wikipedia Estonia, it says right in the opening paragraph that it is Northern Europe. It's also what was taught to me in schools. Admitt

Also, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania is Northern Europe, not Eastern: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Europe

I don't know why does everyone on HN think that Estonia is Eastern Europe when it is actually Northern Europe ( https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Europe ). All of the Baltic countries are Northern.

You can? Last I tried I couldn't remove Edge, could not change search engine used in the Windows search to anything other than Bing, every new windows update would default install new apps like Candy Crush and Amazon Prime I never want

Yeah, I' leaning towards Kirby for my own projects going forward, but for my day job everybody still wants WP and the market effects of that at this point are impossible to go against because every single client demands WP.

The solution then is to use all three interchangeably, like me. You hate them all, but since the hate is spread among all three it is more manageable.

My assumption is that they have and the number of gained users is still more than those they lose. After all, most people (normies) still believe whatever their OS tells them, and if it tells them that Edge is safer and faster, they have no

Funny, I have the same feelings about Linux. So many bugs and glitches that it really feels like nobody actually tests anything. And Windows, while I don't remember any weird glitches, just has so many ads that it makes me feel like I&

Seems like your issues were not with WP itself, but with whatever plugins and themes were added to it. Avoiding WP entirely for this is like avoiding a programming language because the 1 developer you had experience with sucked at it. WP it

Yeah, I don't get it either. All the Android fanboys seem to be wanting iOS to turn into Android for some reason (what, the blue bubble is so bad?) and I also don't understand how a company that isn't a monopoly (because ther

Raw specs mean nothing. You can throw 16GB RAM at an Android, and for some reason it can still be perceived to be slower than a 4GB RAM iPhone. Likewise, MKBHD has given iPhone the best overall camera system award many times now, simply bec

Not the best in _any_ category? Really? Not in a single one? Do you have any evidence for this?

So then even a resident permit would be enough, because you don't need citizenship to be able to live in EU.

As an EU citizen, I love Apple products and would hate if I had to use subpar alternatives like Windows/Linux laptops or Android phones, so I for one would like if this would end in a way that Apple would remain in EU.

by askonomm 3y ago
But as of iOS 17.4 they do allow alternative app stores in EU.

Trivial to who? A seasoned Linux nerd? Maybe. A regular, non-tech person? Nope. And that is why there is no year of the linux desktop. And if you expect a regular, non-tech person to be able to master the terminal and type in commands you&#

Northern Europe has some of the highest salaries in Europe, so that's not a good comparison. Looking from different resources online, it seems the average is around 60k. Spain, for example, has the average of being around 40k and Polan

Is 60k bad? Pretty sure it's the average salary in the entire Europe.

Whenever I see some Spring Boot, I see the name Beans brought up. Still have no idea what it means, but I do find it odd to name software things after seeds. I thought we already used Seed to mean .. Seed? Is Bean the same as Seed? Is it so

Not everybody wants to get promoted to their level of incompetence. Some of us want to stay at a level that we are good at, and not endlessly climb a ladder.

Carpentry yes, my bad! Oh yeah, it's less about carpentry in particular, more about the desire to do something tangible, with hands. Something that actually gets finished at one point. But yeah, software development is a very safe job,

I try to stay in the small-to-medium company bracket, and in this bracket, my opinion has been decently taken into consideration. Companies that have grown large enough where endless processes start to be introduced, layers of bs jobs get a
