If you put this all down under scare mongering because prosecutors can be found guilty you are... seeing things very far out of perspective.

Decriminalizing sale won't do much about production, which is far from green, biodynamic, slavery free, etc. etc.

Dutch Police has been trying to sound that alarm now for years (ondermijnende criminaliteit), but nobody listens. I regularly read about incidents in foreign media that got no coverage locally. My municipality is running awareness campaigns

That again depends on jurisdiction. In much of the EU, this is not expensive and a thriving industry exists to support businesses to get bills paid.

That sort of adversarial weaponization of credit cards is really a US thing. In most of the world, payment is not relevant to the question of liability: you create a debt, whether or not you can debit a card. So, looks like DigitalOcean is

Anyone exceeding their plan with a factor of 10 or hell, let's make it a 100, almost certainly didn't anticipate it and thus isn't prepared for the kind of bill that apparently comes with it (or even knows that there would be

I understand that you need to pay bills, but auto-billing over the bandwidth budget just isn't OK, or at least not unless the user specifically configures that that's OK. I for sure didn't understand your bandwidth tiers that

And here I am, in a shop of about 3K FTE, where we are squeezed 6 persons onto a single socket Xeon which barely beats an iPhone 15 Pro rendering those 12 screen worth of data slowing down to a crawl, huge latency, crappy disk latency too (

First plan I check is no longer offered though. Second is more expensive. I guess these things tend to go out of date fast...

Reminds me of free dotcoms back in the late 1990s just up until the dotcom bubble burst: free but with a frame with a banner. 14 year old me enjoyed learning how to load (and then design around) my own page in that frame.

I don't know what you are comparing to, but Delphi this year and age is far from polished either.

But they are! It just takes way longer than two years, both to scale production in house (creating the first takes way longer than than, creating the second in 2 is already fantastic), and to create any supply chain market which others coul

Asml does this, learning how to scale the cutting edge of two years ago. This is what scaling cutting edge physics looks like. Academic groups sometimes take the better part of a decade (or more) to replicate a setup by another group. There

This. I wish we didn't only measure (and pay for) five nines+ uptime, but also support. Remember how annoyingly often just 99.9% uptime means you're out of business?

People love to label things, and parents overlabelling ADHD has been a common warning among anyone working with kids now. In broader context I think we are now finally starting to pay attention to the fact every single human is subtly or no

In defense of whoever said it to you: I find that writing things down goes a long way for me. Even just the act of it, without ever reading it back.

Hoarding =/= collecting the bare necessities. Signal needs one piece of data to distinguish users from each other, and collects that. Hoarding would be to collect (significantly) more pieces of identifying data, more than needed to dis

Agreed completely. I've used Gnucash for a small business, but found it a bit to cumbersome for personal finance. I've had a look at Homebank, Eqonomize. Anyone use these?

I suppose manufacturing washing machines that reliably give up the ghost months within warranty expiry is its own kind of impressive.

You haven't had bad bread if you've never had Dutch bread. That includes virtually any 'bakery' (those are mostly chains who also rebake). Dutch bread is barely baked, and barely bread. Really, moulding shite and baking

From a Dutch perspective :) You should see what foam they consider bread. One of the things I miss from France :) Lidl has a batard that is really quite good, unsurpassed by any Dutch bread.

I never have connection issues; it's been one of those always-reliable tools for me. Can I ask what bugs you experience?

The precise definition of 'market' gives a lot of room to form opinions. On the one hand: Europe is a block, and Europe is better for it, given the realities of geopolitics. A common energy infrastructure and policy are integral t

Ah, so that's why I can sometimes buy Trader Joe items in Dutch Aldi (Nord).

Dutch here, worked a few years in Germany. I can attest to the difference in esteem of the Aldi/Lidl in de and nl. But you already agree: German shops just look run down as a matter of course. Rewe and Edeka the least probably? However
