Don't you think that's actually a problem? Apple can dictacte all the conditions and if they don't like anything, $PaymentNetwork will just not work with Apple devices at all with no option to change that by installing anothe

If you're absolving an apprenticeship as a (print) media designer you'll learn that line-height for long(er) text should be somewhere between 120% and 160% of the font-size. This ensures that your eyes/brain can easily distin

This is a _really_ nice website. - Great font, I've always liked the DIN Font for its clarity (DIN is a German industrial norm) - font-size and line-height match each other well and follow best-practices (line-height is 1.4 times the f

Ah, I've seen that one before! It's from Lord of the Rings, isn't it? Thought it was destroyed by the flooding those environmental activists caused...

The headline is extremely misleading. It's not about "advertising" for abortions but about _providing information_ on abortions as a doctor.

That is only true for a subset of images, mostly the rather "simple" ones. Try saving photographs as PNG and see your filesize explode.

Yeah. US developers might create great software but due to the Cloud Act, Patriot Act and whatnot you don't want to use it for anything that's not public data at first. It's just not protected against unauthorized access.

It would probably fit better to compare "small actions" to the people of the DDR which were protesting against their regime and ultimately helped to bring it down.

Just like with StackOverflow, people are expected to invest some time or amount of work in getting familiar with the topic. Your question seemed to lack this kind of work and was probably therefore downvoted. I don't think that's

Thanks for your sharing your experience! "couple of years" doesn't sound that bad to me, to be honest, so the higher price could be fine. As mentioned in the other comment, I just started out with an endless scarf and am look

Improving "breathability" for my feet would be one of my goals. The example with your socks sounds good, for the moment I've started with one of those "endless scarfs" made out of Merino wool, because I can't s

Strong images here. You probably need those to justify all the stuff that is going on in cryptoland?! Why not elaborate on what the walls, fences and guard towers are for us non-paranoid people?

It's probably on par right now, but I think we can expect HUGE improvements on the one, so it gets better than the other and the NEXT BIG THING. Hope that helps.

Do you have more information on the Merino wool? I've heard good things about it but I'm not sure how much of that is hype. Is it really that good?

Add the German site "ebay-kleinanzeigen.de" to this list. Some responsive design would be easy, but they'd rather have their users use the app with more ads and all the other sweet revenue juice.

Yeah, but will you have any ROI on that? If Leica dies (even more) and the brand image and the fans are dying too, what will be left in the end? Will that camera be anything worth in 50 years? I find collectibles like these really hard as s

That toolchain works fine on my laptop, but I used Google TV to stream the content to my TV so you have to use the YT app. That works different, although there's a Pi-hole running in my network.

Yeah, I got the same result, too. Really wonder if this algorithm is good for anything. I tried to play "Give me a break, then I'll look for a job and I am certain I'll find something" and it just tells me I've got
