I would love for the people to stop being ignorant and finally realise that "The UE" is not a country... it's a union of 27 diverse countries/economies/cultures... Each one having own interests so managing (and some

I was using Mercurial ages ago because it somewhat felt easier, but at that time I was using Tortoise* and Hg flavour was more straightforward to use that Git one (using mingw or somesuch) and my grasp of the concepts was... lacking to sa

That explains a lot though... I have a bit of a qualm with it: 1) the "language support" list both languages as well as runtimes (immediate facepalm) 2) Java is somewhat popular I'd say... not supporting it but having support

I installed zed a couple of days ago, tried it for a Java project. It was soooo bare-bone that it vanished from the drive shortly after. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I got java/maven plugins but there is no XML highlighting. J

Hmm... interesting. Spain should be covered by GDPR so you should be able to say "I reject right to process my personal data" and it should stop... I had issue with Vodafone here - they were pestering me with calls/messages..

I wonder how it will work in real life and not in a demo… Besides - not sure if I want this level of immersion/fake when talking to a computer... "Her" comes to mind pretty quickly…

Uhm... I live in a small city/town which is very compact and virtually everything is "withing walking distance". I have like 2 big supermarkets within 4-5 minute walk. More than a dozen restaurants and then there are cafes an

I would love for a middle-ground to emerge - plain-text emails with rudimentary formatting and ability to inline images. Something like markdown/asciidoc would be fine for overwhelming majority of cases. Unfortunately we ended up in a

plain-text with some sort of simple formatting would be fine (markdown/asciidoc). We don't have to go overboard in the opposite direction...

1. all links are click-able at this point; what's more plain-text would force to provide just a link without all the tracking garbage 2. you can have paragraphs and headings... it's just a matter of structure - using html you can

I said "wouldn't be _THAT MUCH_ need for bollards". But I tend to lean towards less hostile spaces if possible. Yes, colission with Smart would still be probably quite nasty but probably way less than with F-150. Just for the

I think this is a mix of cultural/legal. In Switzerland (people tend to behave in a community-sane manner) and Czechia (strick enforcing) people seem to be sticking to the limits. In Poland it was usually 10-20kmph above the limit beca

Couple of years ago EU already slashed maximum fees (in the EU) and now it's about 0,2% or something like that... Most likely because of that there are no "benefits" tied to CC nowadays here...

btw are you aware of any research regarding joints/disc regeneration? Or which pages to follow in that area?

by ktosobcy 2y ago
Yeah, that I know... though back exercises (keeping disk hydrated) could help with it a lot. But one knows about it post-factum sadly :-)

I have degenerated disk already so PT and exercises helps somewhat but it's not going away sadly...

Passwords may not be ideal but I will always take them (with 2FA/YK) over passkeys... the latter is just asking for trouble :/
