Simpler: why can't I buy nsfw games with a regular dumb bank transaction (SEPA €) in my case? If MasterCard/Visa don't want these transactions, stupid, their loss. But at least let me use a payment method that works & doe

Germany: I don't know of anything a normal company could do as a "background check". Some sectors can ask for a criminal record which the future employee has to provide. Of 3 companies I was at, 0 required (or were allowed to

Every day I get ads by Temu saying "get this electric bicycle for 0€", "this tablet is available for free" and other very misleading claims. Apparently you have to have bought many other things before in order to save up

I am not sure if I got you, are you aware of the cultural/political issues around it? There's no flag for the language (as it's used at many places), but almost everyone will be happy with a commonly known flag they can ident

Haven't tested the functionality yet, but some feedback: - the name is bad. Issen? I (German, Spanish speaker) don't know how to pronounce it. - use correct flags. Catalan speakers will be rightfully pissed when you use the Spanis

What test strips are you using? It's the first time I am hearing about that, I guess it's not common in Germany. I/we track it, mostly because she is a bit clumsy and forgets when her last period was & when the next one i

No, but people don't care about UX perfection in comparison. Usually it just needs to work and not get in the way.

As I had failed finding an app that was not ad-ridden or oldish, my girlfriend and I are using this (I am copying her values, to know when her period will be). Also contributing some code :)

I'm not sure what you expected, Mapillary is built to make pictures and upload them with the most information possible. Street View but for everyone, and there's no need to have a 360° camera.

Why do you think money is the ultimate motivator? It's proven that after some salary amount, you no longer get (much, if at all) happier. And if US politics is affecting you in a bad way, a salary hit will be totally fine.

I understand that currently (and maybe because you are "only" 75 employees) it feels fair for everyone, or people are even feeling bad about it. Also it sets the bar high when hiring someone, I get that. But what if in a year or t

Buying a stamp in the home country is doable for most people. But even then, imagine you are 20, how many mails do you think will you have sent? For a different country, I'd have no idea. Especially if it's so far away like the US
