  • Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog

  • That one is easily rebutted by "Well, we're looking for pedos. Won't you think of the children? I bet you're one of the pedos, aren't you?". And it, sadly, works on people.

  • You need 1.21 gigawatts to go one way, so you won’t be able to come back

  • Could I seek asylum as a US trans person in Costa Rica (or other countries)?

  • Not at all how it works. I live in Thailand on a work visa, but you can only get those for a very short job list (like a teacher). People do border and visa runs every few months but that’s tiring and you can be denied entry randomly, and obviously you can’t have a job in Thailand with that. There’s a DTV visa you can get if you can prove a remote job and have 500 000 baht in your bank account (that money will always have to be there, you can’t move it out). Other than that there’s a marriage visa and retirement visa (800k in a bank account at all times).

  • Getting unhappy about DuckDuckGo

  • I’ve tried other search engines any times. Despite the worsening google search somehow is still much better than alternatives.

  • European watchdogs demand game companies stop predatory virtual currency sales to children

  • I don’t get it. How do the children get bank accounts to buy those robux? It’s really more of a parent’s responsibility.

  • Just install Bazzite, I think that's basically SteamOS.

  • I think I'm still switching to keepassxc, but I'll still recommend bitwarden to normal people (and my bitwarden account is paid til 2027 anyway, lol)

  • Remember: GNU/Linux and other UNIX systems can make files that are case-sensitive, Windows can't make files that are case-sensitive

  • That's some suckless level cope. What's correct is the way that creates the least friction for the end users. Who really cares about some programming purity aspect?

  • Windows way is superior, in my opinion. I don't think there's a need for File.txt and fILE.txt

    Never forget that in 2001 he switched to Mac OS X and has been using it since.

  • How crucial are banking apps? Your experience with them vs. browser banking?

    Jump

  • It's possible, just very inconvenient. You end up getting massive amounts of change that you have to lug around to spend.

  • How crucial are banking apps? Your experience with them vs. browser banking?

    Jump

  • Depends on the country. I'm teaching in Thailand and here you can't do any banking through a browser. You can only use the bank's official app and you don't even have a login/password for it, you have to go to the bank and activate the app in person as a foreigner (I think Thai citizens can do it online but foreigners have to do it in person). Nobody takes actual cards for the payment and you pay everywhere by scanning QR codes which has to be done through the app. If you buy a new phone you have to activate the app again at the bank's office. It's really annoying and the reason I probably can't go with GrapheneOS or any other custom roms because the bank app is absolutely essential.

  • Bitcoin is Stupid and Does Not Deserve an Emoji (blog post)

    Jump

  • It will never be ready. It doesn't even make sense. To transact with real fiat like the US dollar, you'll have to go through an official on-ramp and an off-ramp of the respective government. And to do an international transaction you'll have to use one of the widely accepted systems like SWIFT. GNU Taler doesn't appear to address anything like that. Anyhow, my comment was made with the premise of this whole thread in mind, i.e. "Bitcoin is stupid" or "snake oil". Yet there's no alternatives to what crypto provides. So is it that stupid after all?

  • Please describe how I can send the money to my mom in Russia (disconnected from SWIFT) with GNU Taler today. I'll wait.
