I understand why this is happening, but the current technical problems of twitter are way, way overstated. Twitter has always been very buggy. It is indeed correct that for the longest time every time you clicked a twitter link and it opene

They make money because they know that if you need to use Klarna to finance a €300 purchase you are very likely to default on the loan and pay interest.

Unless either your salary or the price of the phone increased in those months, you didn't save anything.

Using a service like Klarna means you're bad at dealing with money, so it makes sense.

That's a distinction without a difference. Whether the renter or the landlord buy the credit report, the renter will pay for it anyway.

What's the point of a credit agency if they can't get paid for making their reports?

Just the fact that Gizmodo is against it makes me support it.

This happens to me even though 1) I never log in and 2) I clear my cookies daily. The other day I was looking for recipes and I had to see disgusting video thumbnails of faces full of zits interspersed with thumbnails of the food I wanted t

He's not necessarily siding with Apple. He's pointing out they don't have to do that.

But I don't see it as alienating. Marcan seems an intelligent person so he knows that his vtuber persona is weird. I suppose other people noticing and commenting on it is something he likes or even encourages. It's like... people

You can be thankful for the work done and still think marcan acts weird and is off-putting with his "asahi" vtuber persona.

I'd be highly interested in an aliexpress version that has the same features and is software-compatible but at 1/5 the cost.

nitter.cz is one of many mirrors. The official site was nitter.net (which is down as well).

>The BIND 9 codebase (which is where this bug arose) dates back to when Bill Clinton was President of the US. The fact that it's that old should mean it's extremely robust.

They did more than just "calling for independence". Use your search engine of choice to find out what they did. And this was not a case of a violation of "human rights", in which I also do not believe. During the pandemi

Now that alternative stores can be used I guess there's not much point to PWAs.

Errr, that's not exactly what they did, as well as you know :-) In any case I hope we can agree that it's good that they said that restricting our constitutional right to free movement was illegal, even if it had no consequences f

The constitutional court of Spain ruled the state of alarm (a kind of state of emergency) that was used to prohibit gatherings during the pandemic was unconstitutional. But by then the damage was made of course.

by vdaea 3y ago
That's not true at least in Spain. There's "In flagrante delicto" which means if the police suspects something going on they can kick your door down. It was used many times during the pandemic: when they suspected you we

Developers could also do these processes. And they probably do, often. But they usually have their heads so far up their asses that they don't see how inscrutable this onboarding process is even for very technical users. It's like
