As a paying customer for the last five years, I can’t wait for an alternative that also allows inline adaptations of the translations, like DeepL does. The quality of the translations is worse now than in the beginning and the customer serv

They should do that for all plugins that do it then, if it’s reasonable, right? Which is a lot of plugins. PS: isn’t WooCommerce doing the exact same?

It gets weird hate because it has (had?) an insanely steep learning curve and no setup looked like the other. With wordpress at least, it's pretty consistent across plugins and implementations and very easy to pick up

We had the same experience with the Xplora watches: we moved 6km away and took the internet contract with us. Whenever the watch was inside the house, it would show it as being at the old address. Outside of he house and away from wifi, it

I had to get an eSIM for my watch - it's also from O2, but in Germany. It's basically a copy of the physical SIM I have in my phone and it worked perfectly. My only bother is that they charge me 15 euros activation fee everytime I

I personally don't do ecommerce and everything vice-related, including gambling. But I can't go to the interview and say: well I've picked you because you're not doing ecommerce and gambling.

watching the german law subreddit, they have started taking people to court now, as too many have caught on to the scheme. In court, like you said, the odds really are as good as tossing a coin.

why would they buy logs from your ISP when they can see your IP address when you're seeding? they just have someone watching the seeders lists and pick out german IPs (or maybe it's even automatic!) and then they ask the ISP who o

As a loophole, they ended up making the app paid as not constitute disloyal competition, which, depending on the angle makes sense: you have a competitor that you can actually never compete because regardless of what they do, their funding

Those are some really bad core hours - what gives? Having to mandatory work until 18 (in Germany) or 19 (Romania) sounds like a nightmare in terms of work life balance/family life.

The free report is the list of entries they have on your name. Based on that they calculate scores and risks, but you don’t have access to those numbers unless you pay. They did buy an app last year called Bonify that allows you to see your
