The EU has some rules that companies need to follow, same as any other democratic country does. Like it or not, EU regulation usually does a good job at protecting consumers from untamed companies, as happens in other places.

This is a simple, yet very good idea, thank you.

I'm actually in a similar situation - I don't want to quit the Internet completely, I just wish to recover some time that I think is wasted on social media, and at the same time "escape" that often toxic environment. I s

The author wrote that some people would make other people do the work, taking a cut. Given, that people who work themselves at Deliveroo already struggle to get a decent salary, then yes, it is immoral.

This doesn't work in Germany, for example. If you charge back, they'll just put you into a central register (called Schufa) that will basically make it impossible for you to get a credit or even to rent an apartment.

They have the money - but do they have enough high-profile people to run all those efforts?

You can say anything you want about the EU, but it's perfectly functioning and always has been.

As an outsider who only uses Python when I need a specific tool that's only available through pip: it's still one of my biggest nightmares. Every single time I need to install something with pip on MacOS there is this hour-long st

Sorry, this has little to do with what Poland looked like in the 80s. Being born and having lived there for the first few years of my life, these pictures looks as exotic and strange to me as pictures from Yemen or Kazakhstan. I'm not

What if it's the lifestyle? You certainly feel more relaxed when living in Italy or Spain, people seem to prioritize a simple life full of social interactions. Work is something one needs to do, but does not get obsessed with. Talking

We all have plenty of tasks that we kind of don't want to do, or feel they're a burden, or they somehow take us out of our comfort zone... This is a trick I learned that works like a charm to get myself into the right mindset and

Big fan of 1blocker! It works just perfectly. I think that Apple has created a really nice concept for adblocking. They leverage native performance with enough flexibility for 3rd parties. Plus, the privacy aspect is great.

They are this low because they have only started fining companies. If Uber breaks the law again, the fine will be a lot higher.

It's not like Mozilla has no funds. Why not hire a couple of people for the reviews?

It's funny how this "generation" thing only quite exists (as far as I know) in the English-speaking world. There is no such idea of generations of people where I come from. It's hard for me to even grasp the idea of it.

Great advice! That's like saying that it's super easy to become rich. It just takes 2 easy steps: Step 1. Be born into a rich family. Step 2: Get inheritance cash.

One of the best episodes of Black Mirror. Truly made me have deep thoughts about myself, life, and where humanity is going. Immortality seems indeed achievable, but not in a biological way our ancestors imagined.

I've never understood the fuzz about typography. Yes, it's important that fonts that are used a lot meet certain standards - but some people seem to make a big deal out of it.

Because it's nerds building products at Google. Not even trying to be overly negative or critical here, just an observation. It can actually be seen as something positive in many ways (Android being super flexible vs iOS being more lim

Wait... You have 9 credit cards? Why? How? Isn't that a maintenance burden keeping track of all of them? I've never ever had more than 2 at the same time and it was because I was transitioning from one bank to another...

I would love to believe that reducing the engineering supply because most people don't want to work there could have a significant impact on the amount of outcome that FB can produce. Thus, a net positive, yes.

In my experience, not including the salary is a sign of weakness of a company. Why would you not include it, if it wasn't that you're afraid your salary is not fair? Or is it that people at your company would want to get a raise (
