Before the Internet became widespread, people were using BBSs, and several large (for the time) networks of interconnections between them. Fidonet, and many more regional ones like Z-Netz. There were also networks for businesses and researc

Voice mail is terrible, but I do think Google Chat/Meet is missing a "call" button. All you can do is send a regular chat message with a link to an impromptu meet. Sometimes I would like a button that politely asks for more i

Street level light rail is fantastic. My city replaced most of it with subways. Which, don't get me wrong, are preferable to almost everything else. But it does mean getting to and from the train requires an additional walk and stair&#

I've read it. Do you want me to selectively quote some sentences that support the opposing view? This is why I said it's debatable, not conclusive.

A Renault Twingo weighs about 2150 lbs. This is a sensible car which seats two comfortably and four in a pinch. It also gets 40-50 mpg. No, you can't transport your quad with it, and it's not very useful when moving house. It&#x27

Maybe it's dead in the US, but German providers added support in 2021. Of course everyone here already uses cross platform messengers, so I guess it's dead, here, too.

You're still not saying how this lets Germany "control the EU". If anything it sounds like you want Eastern Europe to control the access to gas in order to have an inordinate amount of influence over Germany. So basically wha

Controlling the EU with Russian gas? Is that the conspiracy theory de jour, then?

If that page is an accurate representation, the quality of the English to German translation is much worse than Google Translate.

Any idea if there are any plans to bring this to Firefox Android? Transparent translation is one of the things I need to switch to Chrome for.

Seems like they only just started and are not close to being done. I wouldn't expect any cultural change, such as drivers respecting and riders trusting new infrastructure, within a year. It wasn't Milan, but I know I refrained fr

It's my sense that a more prosocial policy wouldn't put two stressed parents ..., and then know that them taking 8 months is the reason the other parent could take only 6 months. People usually figure this out months in advance.

So you're saying 7 months each that cannot be shared would be preferable? Not to mention that you are legally entitled to additional unpaid leave (years, if you want). Such a weird way to construe a relatively generous and beloved so

50 m2 per person. Presumably single person households are a bit larger, and families a bit smaller than 50 m2 per member, but that's just an educated guess.

I live in France, and as of July 2021, the law allows for 25 days of paternity leave. Wow, I had no idea; that's awful. In Germany parents share 14 months at two thirds of their average salary (capped at 1800 EUR each, though). Moms

Well, on it's own it's not viable at all, the federal government paid for it to the tune of about 2.5 billion EUR. Money well spent, if you ask me.
