Replying here to throwaway2037 because I can't reply directly to him, but yes, even most informal businesses accept PIX, including some random guy selling candy or bottled water at a stop signal. The only exception I have found to cons

I'm pretty sure they're "employed for life" because otherwise every new administration would replace as many people as possible. Can you picture a company replacing 90% of their workforce every 4 or 8 years, all at once?

Maybe this will help: https://marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-kenyan-i-dont-write-li... And I think I saw some others similar articles and blog posts over the years, but the tl;dr; is that a large enough ammount of text

I thought they had been retired long ago. I think it's been years since I last saw one at Rio de Janeiro.

Take a look at https://old.reddit.com/r/FPGA/ Whatever people may say about reddit, it seems to be a good starting point to get started with pretty much any hobby (even if it's just to get a link to another c

Good looking, acessible, "default" themes for popular CSS frameworks? Like "here's Bootstrap5 default theme, here's another for high contrast, here's another for X problem, etc..."? Not hidden away in some

Could it be related to the Cloudflare issue?

Lots of Linux software these days are also distributed as flatpack or appimage, and appimage in particular is dead simple if what you want has it available: place the file wherever on the path, make it executable, and done.

Damn, a smartphone made by Valve would make me splurge for more than middle-low end, for the respect they give us alone. It just needs my banking apps, and and I'll be happy to pay for it.

Anytime I see the complaint about the 30% fee, I wonder what people feel would be fair for the service, because it also includes storage, distribution for new instalations and patching for older ones, along with generating keys to be sold

I remember those reports. I wonder if it has to be the same kind of sand, or could be some that we neither have another use for, nor would damage any ecosystem (too much).
