GDPR brought too much hate and it solved too little.

At some point in time I felt the need to make an anonymous Github account. It's quite annoying to know that people can google your name and see what you did in the last few years.

I like those pictures. They only show the two hands that are holding the device. The third hand touching the screen is missing.

Or maybe if Intel wasn't a monopoly AMD could've solved the heat issues better and faster. It's hard to play fair and win when the other one is cheating.

What's so amoral about it?

Cloudfare has 'NET' IIRC. Funny!

US ISPs make you think that internet traffic is like gold ;). I get tens of terabytes here in Europe for 10€.

TM is a self claimed trademark, which means that you include it on your first use and you continue to claim it

This feels like kids playing something silly like "mom and dad".

That even today many European languages don't even have a basic dictionary. I'm not talking about the "guess the next word" feature. All I want is a dictionary that could suggest a correction to a misspelled word.

Use two languages at once? No way! I guess they need to invent a new chip or something.

Swipe to type? Hehe.

The keyboard in itself is fast and good but it lacks features.

It was always obvious that this is one of the solutions to the climate change.

In my city they cut down 10 meters of gardens around blocks of flats to make room for parking cars. Nobody bats an eye because parking is a bigger problem for them.

We had a good "word processing and spreadsheet market". But somehow people and companies voted with their money for Microsoft.

Is that a new word I should know?

Not really in my experience. I live in a country that buys old cars from the rich. We have many "ohh, my lungs" cars here.

The same with appliances. People are too poor to buy A+++ electronics.

If you meant poor enough so I go hunting... then yes.

I bet they should also be the same color.

You can't really live "efficient" being poor.

You only have the current benefits because some sort of union fought for them. Call it government, call it whatever but it was an organization fighting on your behalf.

beyond that their ability to effect change pretty much stops there.

Is that true? You can't negotiate even further by yourself? I think you do.

Well, maybe. But I've learned that you can't take money out of "it". Even in places that strive to do so. If we could we could actually reach some utopia. Communism would become highly desirable.

My simplistic approach to credit: it allows people to buy stuff they can't afford but it drives prices up artificially. Lots of things would be cheaper if people couldn't afford to "produce" money.

How does one get to be blacklisted by Linkedin?

Devops = not quite a dev + not quite a sys admin.

Hehe. Apple _is_ the Gucci equivalent for phones. There are no better products. And while it's an affordable product for many US citizens this is not case for some EU citizens.

First rule is: invest in something you understand.

We are "insanely smart" guys.

That filtering code should already be there in web app.

I feel like this is related to GDPR but in my opinion it doesn't follow the spirit of the law.

This has nothing with the quality of the search results. This belongs in the "did you mean" box at the top.

That will teach you to pay attention. Heh!

Most big companies don't really care. And that's because they don't have a single person with the power to say 'stop'.

In a long chain of managers the manager above will only hear "there was an issue and it's fixed". The upper manager doesn't really have the time and the will to dig into the details.

It depends on who died.
