As someone from the Netherlands this was interesting to read. My one nitpick is that the author seems to switch between Berlin/Germany and the EU as a whole a few times making the reader think that some things might apply to the entire

Replacing SAP for Oracle to me feels like replacing one evil for another. Besides the companies themselves constantly upselling you and having idiotic licensing terms. Both are very much the sort of companies with products you only are &quo

They probably know, but don't have the ultimate say in the matter. As others have said, having one screen as opposed to a variety of buttons and knobs that need to be wired is likely cheaper (even more when you don't really invest

Yeah, some touch buttons work through conductivity and are really sensitive. Fittingly for this post, our cloths dryer has a touch "screen" which is to say that it is a slab of plastic with icons that are touch sensitive. Often en

Probably good advice if you are right handed and have good fine motor skills. At least way into the 90s kids here learned to write with fountain pens. For me this meant pages full of smudges, forked pens and generally unreadable text. As so

Interesting maybe, but also one that lacks sources. It is entirely possible that this passed by me and I just didn't catch the thing mentioned in the blog post. But, I also can't find much in the way of any reference to it online.

It is actually sort of how I used it as well, though through nextcloud. It did still remain a hassle. It also requires all different apps to be maintained and equally safe. Keeweb for example has not had an active maintainer since 2022 htt

Are there other alternatives that are 1) open source 2) offer the same integration to begin with and finally 3) have been audited or are popular enough to be under constant scrutiny? There is of course the KeePass ecosystem, but that is why

While adblocking has gotten most of the focus, it isn't the only functionality that is being limited or made more complicated. One of my favorite extensions is still not available for MV3 because of complications: https://gi

Discord is different from IRC in both the scale and payload. It's besides the point anyway, even if discord is still an unoptimismed piece of shit. You clearly have issues with that unpolished turd. So I figured I'd offer my insig

Yeah, no. If that was the case they would not fine companies based in the EU. Guess what? They are also going after companies based in the EU. Your argument holds very little water.

To be clear, I am not arguing there shouldn't be any changes. But when it involves effectively an entirely different skill set I strongly believe that something is not quite right. Do note that I specifically said many companies, not
