This is definitely not true for German law.

If you're on iOS, try https://apolloapp.io/ . Using it on an iPad has become my main way of accessing reddit. Super customizable, has keyboard shortcuts and supports pretty much all reddit features. The developer is als

Same from Germany, all of these seem up except for reddit and ft. Maybe we got lucky with our edge node...

Why not just use the Accept-Language header? stripe.com already does this – At least I get redirected to " https://stripe.com/en-de ", seemingly based on the combination of header and geolocation

Fair, but one significant advantage of having a specific legal form is that the way the organization is set up is immediately apparent from the legal name. This also means that any non-profit that is not set up as such will automatically be

It seems to me like this is a shortcoming of the English (and American) legal system, where non-profit organizations and such can only be founded as "regular" companies and then tax-exempted. This means they are still subject to a

For a while I had my laptop set up with a udev rule that would automatically lock it as soon as my USB Yubikey was unplugged. The Yubikey was on my keychain on a lanyard attached to my clothing. I mostly used that at CCC events where I was

There's no monopoly on credit cards though. There's multiple providers, some countries have their own (cheaper) debit card networks, and you can still pay with cash.

Personally I really like Wikipedia's preview feature. It makes it easy for me to decide if a link is worth following. The German language version does not have it, and whenever I use that one I quickly start to miss it.

As a C developer who has never really used C++ or Rust I sort of agree. Looking at Rust introductory guides I increasingly get the same feeling as looking at C++ things, where there's just _too much_ of everything. I know it's a s

Proponents of nuclear power labelling everyone who does not unequivocally support it "science deniers" is such infuriating populism. Nuclear power obviously has immense benefits, but there are also undeniable risks associated with

Isn't that pretty much exactly what this accomplishes? It means sites first have to request your permission in a popup. I thought the article made it pretty clear that the heuristics are only intended as a temporary stop-gap measure to

Honest question: How is this relevant to Hacker News? As a non-American i was rather bewildered to find this here. Is there a serious overlap between gun enthusiasts and the IT community in the US?

Also the reason I have 80+ contacts in Signal, but 1 (one) in Matrix. Federation just doesn't work for the average person in practice. Email being the large exception because it's been around for so long.

Matrix and Signal seem to have very different use cases to me. I don't think they really "compete" at all

I don't think you can make a blanket statement like this. My experience has been almost the opposite, Chrome always uses significantly more CPU for me. I think it really depends on hardware, drivers etc.

> Imagine a US company getting approval for a merger from the US and not getting approval from the EU, what happens then? Can China also grant itself this level of influence over American business? Both of these are already the status qu

I agree. I've personally noticed time and time again how git-based workflows discourage me personally from making small one-time changes like typo fixes compared to a wiki or similar. It's just so much more overhead to have to sta

Seems to be auth related. Login does not work, and Youtube is also throwing Internal Server Errors, but only if I'm signed in.

I would love that. There is so much mediocre but popular software out there that uses hard-coded MySQL queries instead of some abstraction layer. Having to use MySQL/MariaDB after usually dealing with PostgreSQL always feels like such

When AWS initially started offering domain registrations, I transferred a few domains (that I'd already been using Route 53 for) over to keep everything in one place. A few months later, I wanted to transfer them elsewhere, but quickly

Also, every single Java application I've ever used has used an entirely unreasonable amount of memory for the job it's supposed to do. I'm sure you can write things in Java that are lightweight on resources, but I've nev

I switched to Apple Maps a few months ago and haven't run into any issues using it in various cities in Germany. The main missing feature for me used to be public transit routing, but they added that a few updates ago and it generates

They way I understand it based on the article is that they were only able to change the email address, then used that to reset the password and log in.

Right, but the exact same thing could have happened with Google Photos or whatever it's called these days if you don't have 2fa enabled.
