I don't believe that is the case. Bitwarden works very unpredictably on a bad internet connection. The failed sync attempt can hang the whole application (or browser extension). I have this issue occasionally when Bitwarden shows that

I always generate a unique username (and email address) every time I sign up. Except in places where I have to use my real name, like LinkedIn.

I think Firefox is truly superior on the desktop, but Firefox on mobile is inferior. I also once switched to Brave (on mobile and as a secondary browser on desktop), but lately, in the last year or so, Brave has become bloated with services

I can only speak for myself, but Pocket is barely usable (half the time it just loads the live page instead of the snapshot), Mozilla VPN is only sold in a handful of countries (while Mullvad is sold everywhere), Lockwise is gone (I like FF

They always do this with my bookings. They say "booking appears to have been made through a third-party travel agent". All the bookings were made from the same account for the same person, yet I'm always forced to do addition

It's bad UX at the very least. And technically you shouldn't need an account to make a booking.

But you keep insisting that there are rules to protect you. That's not true at all. Yes, there are rules, but you always have to prove that you are right/not guilty. In Germany the system is that you are guilty until proven innoce

In Sweden you have a personnummer and tax data is available to practically everyone. And that's the main measure they use for everything. So I'm pretty sure that the police use this data to get an idea of what you can and can'

Oh, and there are SCHUFA and debt collectors. Let's say a clause is invalid, but they gave you a bill with a due date. You can't ignore it or you'll get a bad SCHUFA or someone from a debt collection agency will knock on your

What if it's money you've already paid that someone won't give you back (while free or paid legal advisers tell you you're right)? It all ends with "you have to go to court". Yes, there is a chance that the oth

In theory. But if the landlord is hiding (or, more accurately, if the bailiffs don't do their job), you end up paying for everything. But good news! The court order is valid for 30 years, so you might get it all back in the end (probab

Yes, there are laws that nullify certain clauses in tenancy agreements, but enforcing them is another story.

Legal advice and reality in Germany are 2 different things. The truth is that dealing with any kind of legal situation in Germany is a huge headache and all you get in the end is to prove you are right and get what should be yours anyway, w

And not just ID, but additional documents proving your address (like a utility bill, but only in some specific formats). I tried to open an account there a couple of times, but they discriminated against me based on the documents I had).

I think it depends. The leaders of North Kore/Iran don't see their countries as we do from the outside. Neither does Russia. It probably won't end up like North Korea, but something like Iran - very likely

Berlin is full of bike lanes, but they're built ass-backwards and inconvenient for everyone - motorists, pedestrians and cyclists alike.

I have the opposite experience. Apple is incredibly difficult and expensive to repair. But I have been pleasantly surprised by the longevity and repairability of ThinkPads. I like those Apple M processors, but I know where I'm spending

I agree with everything you just said. I really like the idea behind NixOS - write a config and apply it, all containerised, but I never had a chance to try it until recently when I got a new laptop at work. But after 3 months I updated my
