It's been a slow rollout but yes, it's an EU wide thing. Slovenian IDs issued after around 2022 have them too.

This would suddenly mean no more custom browsers, no more custom OSes, and I doubt they'd cater to the Linux and BSD crowds with this one. It's something the OSS community has been trying to fight for the last 4 decades. With a fu

Funny how back then people claimed peak stability was Windows 2000. 10 years from now people will look at Windows 10 and claim that was peak stability.

This is easy to say until you're an immigrant worker in a foreign country - something one probably worked for their entire life up to that point - risking it all (and potentially wrecking the life of their entire family) just to stop s

We have had these apps in various EU countries for quite a while and it's been fine. You can get a prepaid SIM from a grocery store and register it with them, and so on. You can always SEPA transfer the money if you don't want to

Is it really though? The average user doesn't need to know about all other clients, how it all works, etc. They just "open this website, register, and you're in!" It's not like the registration process necessarily

How come they didn’t do that the first time? There’s really no guarantee this time will be different or that the 3rd party is any better.

They said they don’t want that [1]. It’s not just me, several people have asked for it. Maintaining an extra fork just for that is also out of the question for most people. [1] https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issu

GP is talking about isolation inside the current user. Recent macOS versions ask before allowing a program to access files inside Documents, Desktop, etc. Whether that helps or not is debatable, but it’s not quite the same as what Windows

It wouldn’t cost Homebrew folks much to add a flag to skip dependency version checking which would solve most issues with using older macOS. But they don’t want to, and have closed all issues asking for it as wontfix.

The big part of Xcode is the integrated Interface Builder. With SwiftUI it might slowly become irrelevant, but as of now, there's still no replacement for Xcode's Interface Builder. JetBrains' AppCode is/was a decent rep

The Xcode interface up to v3 was an even bigger mess. Interface Builder and Xcode were two separate programs, you'd quickly fill your screen with 15 little windows that you had to constantly drag around, open, close, switch between...

It's much harder for non-dev jobs where the management won't let you BYOD for whatever reasons, which could range from IT being too stubborn to allow you to keep company data on your own laptop that's not centrally managed, t

Unless you work a job where you're not in control of the OS you're using, which just happens to be most of the non-dev office jobs out there. Dismissing Windows problems with "just switch to Linux bro" doesn't reall

Interesting point. To me, it seems more like those donations where you’re offerred some money in exchange for taking an action which you know is going to take more time/cost way more than the donation amount. Tho to be completely fair,

Sure, you can buy a box and inspect that stream, but if there's a multitude of pirate streams it's an eternal whack-a-mole game. You cancel one pirate's subscription, the streams redirect to another, in the meantime the first

This works as long as each of these boxes connects directly to the streaming provider's servers. With pirate streams often there's a pirate streaming provider with a legitimate subscription, whose STB handles the rekeying, then th

Good luck finding the person streaming it and proving that they did. The days of BBC TV license vans are long over.

Have you forgotten about Edge 1 that was the evolution of IE’s Trident rendering engine? It failed that’s why they then started with the rebranded Chromium Edge 2.

Mostly the fact that for the past 10 years they've been adding new features but never finished them and taken the time to properly bugfix them along the way. Just a few I ran into recently: - Interface Builder is stuck in early 2010s.

It's likely down in the ToS somewhere that they are free to close your account if you do a chargeback, otherwise they wouldn't be so eager to do it.

That's none of the business of my ISP to care about. If a botnet abuses my connection to send excessive traffic, that's going to be limited by the bandwidth limit I'm paying for. Restricting ports also doesn't mitigate i

So the national carrier importing them and selling them in their brick-and-mortar stores is "bootleg imports"? Not to mention that the EU is, legally speaking, a single market so the same rules should apply everywhere. The reason

They don't in the EU. Not in Slovenia, so not the entire EU. I've seen it first hand. It's also not some special law that we'd have invented here so I'm pretty sure there are other EU countries where it's the s

That's false. The ones you can get here in Slovenia don't have them. I've personally helped quite a few friends sideload them. I also remember how shocked people were to find out there's no YouTube or Play Store after bu
