That's not the point at all. Currently I'm using paypal to send money to friends when we split dinner or share other costs. I'd like to use a similar European service instead and not go through a ceremony to open my banking a

Sounds totally fine to me. I guess just like there are many Mastodon instances: mastodon.social, fosstodon, infosec.exchange, mas.to, etc., but one protocol by which they talk to each other.

Terraforming is possible but colonizing worlds hostile to humans has always meant genetic engineering to me. We need to drop the Star Trek idea that we can explore space in the sacks of water we call bodies.

Ha! You're right. Ironically, I was viewing it on my phone and I only saw the "Safari" column and not "Safari on iOS".

Not broken, but strange since it should be working on latest Safari. https://caniuse.com/mdn-html_elements_optgroup_disabled I think it may be a Safari bug.

Wait, so you've got a work phone that is not MDM-managed? That'd be a rare exception.

I got my own Forgejo, but I'm still on Github. That's the easiest way to check what the people I follow push, comment or star. I like this part of Github a lot.

Additionally to Winamp, I guess what I will always remember Nullsoft with is also "NSIS - Nullsoft Scriptable Install System" [0]. In a previous job I sat down, read the docs and wrote a Windows-Installer for our product using thi

It's on my list, I really liked the `The Forever War, by Joe Haldeman` episode. Good job. However, less "Fuck Christopher Columbus" and things of this sort, please. That's just stupid.

Much appreciated. VB6 was my first attempt at learning Win32 programming. I’ve written so many tools and games with it; it even helped me land my first job. A true golden age.

Who here used HipChat before it got killed? I really liked it and consider it possibly the best Atlassian product to this day.

I also bet my money on Azure. Someone who allegedly worked there recently posted an article here on the numerous problems with Azure. Sadly I didn’t bookmark it.

Totally agree with you. I think Github "stars" are a relic of the past. They should be renamed to "Bookmarks" and exist as a tool for users to just mark interesting repositories. By no means should a repository keep a co
