It does not. Its volatile, its backed by some at least as shady companies, rugpulls are constant, the acceptance rate of crypto is way below Mastercard/Visa or even Amex, you need to have at least a charged phone and and and. Sorry, I don't see any available version of crypto replacing MC or Visa.

even harder is finding a payment system that is not US-based and broadly accepted (no, not crypto).

I do have some hopes for a digital euro and, maybe, maybe, even Wero. But i fear it will never take off because too many players are involved and there is no clear marketing strategy to get it to people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wero_(payment)

1) to be honest, when I see how russia, Iran and other states influence all other networks (especially when it comes to voting), not sure how tiktok is worse than all of them - just think of Facebook & Cambridge Analytica https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook%E2%80%93Cambridge_Ana...

2) yes, that is an issue.

3) fair point.

I remember that, too. Nokia even had an "app store" on a lot of their business series devices (the E-series), but it was clunky to use, had no payment options and was not really friendly for 3rd party developers. There was probably a window where, had Nokia pushed to compete with apple on that field, they could have gotten a leg up and kept Symbian and symbian apps in the race for (way) longer. But that invest and speed needed for software was probably not doable in the behemoth that was Nokia at that time.

same here. I found myself loosing an hour of just scrolling through short videos, most of them really good and ones that I liked. I had to delete the app because it was working too good.

If I started out now, I would look into Yamaha Musiccast (https://usa.yamaha.com/products/contents/audio_visual/musicc...), since they have more form factors and bridges to add other music systems. Or BluOs (https://bluos.io/), but that all looks like its aimed at the "use golden cables for better audio, bro" bros.

I do not like the new app, its so sluggish. And I really hate that they killed support for the previous app after the shitty launch. I have about 8 sonos devices here and was in the progress of upgrading my oldest ones. That stopped and i will not buy new products until they fix their shitty app or revert back. Its not much, but nothing else I can do (except send support requests whenever something does not work to drive up their metrics).

same. All of the data should still be stored on the watch and the app, since that works local via Bluetooth. Sync to other services like strava or trainingpeaks should happen once the services are online. Even the external sync on the watches should work, i just updated my deezer playlist on my epix 2 without issues and with connect down.

It might be annoying, but it still works. Without a note in the app, i would not have noticed.

Same. It would be nice to have a game at one point, but No Mans Sky and Elite:Dangerous kind of filled that niche for me.

pretty nifty tool. What license are you using for distribution?

have you tried Deezer?

If I could go on a 4-day week, I think I would choose Wednesday, drop the kids off at school, head to the mountains for a hike or skiing in winter, and pick them back up in the afternoon. Now, that would be the perfect work week :)

Parents don't always know best. There are countries where the child's right to education is seen as higher than the parent's right to do what they think is right.

>>I mean the tool OP posted recommended 2 weeks off at the end of March into April on the easter holiday (because of the friday and monday holiday)... who is honestly doing that?

sad parents tied to school holidays noises.

Ubitexx?

i had hoped for a cool looking freelancer. I backed about 30 USD initially and 60 more to get 2 more licenses for friends for SC and SQ42 - have not sent some money since then, so if it ever drops, it might be a nice surprise that did not cost too much.

also, i think they scraped the dedicated server that were kind of implied in the beginning. Chris talked about running your own world on your server. I would have hoped for a renascence of dedicated servers for multiplayer games including some creative communities like Freelancer still has.

holy crap that minecraft wiki is fast now. I actually stopped going to fandom because it was so slow.

agreed. the good thing is, it teaches a new generation why adblockers are great.

I know what you mean and it makes a little bit sad. I loved browsing through the early web, learning stuff and break things. Especially in the seedy underbelly, IRC chats and all of that. But now, I'm happy that I am not an adulescent boy being constantly bombarded with the manosphere crap and all of these influencers. I pity the younger generation, they don't know what was taken from them. I mean, the helpful internet is still there, but hidden behind so much bullshit.

signed already and thank you all for your hard work.

where I lived, B5 followed Buffy (and Viper). Great Saturday afternoon.

I have worked with Deutsche Telekom in the past and I'm convinced that every project that involves them will never get enough traction to beat US companies.

The entitlement and refusal to listen to other people outside their direct org is mindboggling, its like if everyone at that company still thinks they are the hottest shit and they know everything better. Sadly, they are a gatekeeper. Super frustrating partner to work with

he always had this and has always been selling snake oil. He might gotten some clout with mega but he always has been a charlatan.

it works offline if you preload the website :)

fantastic tool; I used it a lot to transcribe interviews during plane travels where there was no internet, and I needed to fill the time. Really useful to have if you do a lot of interviews

probably got kicked out since Elon did not want to pay rent. Maybe the locks got changed.

Signed. I think this is an important initiative and could either get publishers to support the games longer or release the server-side parts, so that fans can keep them going. Just look at Freelancer, still going strong after 21 years thanks to fans.

it also neatly integrates into easy-to-use things like runtipi. I have it on my spare home server, running a tandoor instance, invidious and metube for watching stuff later/offline.

ohh, that could finally be a great way to get my ttrpg books readable for kindle. I'll give it a try, thanks for that.
