What makes me slower is the moment is the AI slop my team lead posts into reviews. I have to spend time to argue why that's not a valid comment.

On track? Jolla has a track record of shipping late (or not at all in an unfortunate case). So if they kept their promises this time I would be more than surprised. Still, I do hope and wish them that they can ship at some point in time wit

Using a Sailfish phone comes from the desire not to use Google or Apple. So wanting to pay using those companies seems an odd requirement. Luckily for paying there are still widely accepted alternatives.

I still use Sailfish daily. I have no problem with the UI, but their Firefox is seriously outdated and predictive text for the keyboard is no longer available.

Interesting: Despite its name Armbian seems to support RISC-V. Disclaimer: I have never used any RISC-V board.

Not following Switzerland, so I don't know whether this was part of the discussion: Most cards in Europe, Apple and Google are American. With Trump treating Europe like an enemy, it's stupid to use any of those. This year I have r

In Germany it made it even to the general news https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/openai-manager... So it wouldn't even be worth a HN submission. Well, I think it can still go under exception for e

It says the code signing cert has been revoked by now. How does verification work? Only at installation time or will it prevent running the installed files later if installation happened when the cert was still accepted? Linux user asking o

Of course there is no mandate to offer anything for free. They just need to be offered for the same price as other methods. But most people have a bank account for a fixed price and some even for free. So individual transfers are considered

Money transfers between bank accounts for no extra fees (well, that's limited to the Euro, so a couple of countries chose to stay outside). Mobile phone usage for no extra fees all over EU (some limitations, but typically not relevant

Nice. But 5 years seems unrealistic. Who stays on the same job using same processes 5 years these days? Even if the task might remain the same, input formats might change, requiring extra maintenance to the tool. Should recalculate that for

As a matter of fact schweissen is only correct spelling in Switzerland. In Germany it would be schweißen.

Reading a couple of pages of the full complaint, starting from page 15 is surprisingly accessible (assuming German is accessible at all to the reader). They claim Telekom keeps their transit access points intentionally underdimensioned. In

I agree, made in Europe, does not give enogh information. Their T&C gives the details: They are from Latvia. I dare to claim: A majority of EU citizens know really nothing about Latvia.

There are criteria for how dominant a platform is to be considered gatekeeper. Teams, Google and Slack have much smaller market share for private messaging, so I guess they are not affected. Don't remember the criteria by heart.

Very weird, my experience is the opposite. When changing jobs in 2018 I moved from Bitbucket and Confluence (own data center, but to my understanding powerful and well-maintained) to Gitlab cloud. Atlassian was laggy, overengineered and not

Bandwidth is not the problem when you are using mobile connections (4G, weaker 5G). Videos work just fine, but ssh can be painful already without keystroke obfuscation. The problem is latency. Especially when roaming abroad it can 100s of m

That's not fully correct. The West accepted only a single German citizenship. So everyone from East Germany could immediately be issued a "German" passport by the Western authorities. For the East there were 2 citizenships. T

Xfce runs decently on my 10 year old 2-core Atom laptop with 2GB of RAM. It might use some inefficient patterns, not sure about that. But all the modern bloat software has brought basically little added value while eating much more resource
