What's happening this time with GNOME?

I have a different bank, but as you can see here, instant transfers are free for personal use: https://www.paysera.com/v2/en/blog/what-is-sepa

I have been reading about instant transfers and I think the banks don't have to pay for individual transfers, they pay a fee for being part of the SEPA system. If that is correct, then every cent you bank charges you for an instant transfer goes directly to their pockets.

That only applies to the US.

In Europe, we can transfer money between any two bank accounts on any European country, and the transfer must complete in less than 90 seconds (from an account in bank A, in Spain to another account in bank B, in Italy, for example). And frequently those transfers are also free.

It's not a banking industry problem. It's an obsolete American banking industry problem.

It helps me on filtering out shitty companies. I don't want to work in a place that does not value my time. And there are plenty of companies to work with.

I only accept paired assignments. If you are going to use my time, the least you can do is offer an equal amount of time on your side.

I make litecoin money transfers from my Spanish account to my Argentinian account. In Argentina the exchange is manipulated by the government, and currency exchange between individuals is illegal. Since cryptocoins are not considered currency, they are in a grey area. If I were to do an international transfer it would be like 2/3 more expensive, not considering even fees.

Well, gitlab is way better. Github is the Facebook of developers.

There was an app where each one of you had to left-swipe/right-swipe through a list of randomly selected names, and the app would tell you when both of you liked the same name.

At this point I'm starting to suspect this is basically people on a power trip, disguised.

They are adults. Them being wrong is their problem, not mine.

I have had arguments with Americans who are absolutely convinced that wasting energy in an AC is good and something to be proud of, while opening windows is primitive, and bad. It was funny.

With any luck, the younger generation will kill themselves of angst before.

Don't forget that almost all printers region-lock their cartridges/toners: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_lockout#Printers

Not only that. If they wanted to add form support they should have read the specs, instead of blindly relying on their (very questionable) telemetry.

The fact they had to find via telemetry something that every developer who had interacted with a PDF with forms knew (that they have JS) is very worrying.

I'm expecting a long long list of bug reports when they start finding the mountains of corner cases not shown by their "telemetry".

Also, in countries with fake exchange values (like Argentina or Venezuela) you get 1/3 of the currency for your dollars, while with bitcoin you get the full value.

That won't work. They will have to include an USB-C port, wireless charging or not.

Eggs from jail-raised hens may never be competitive enough to displace eggs from ground-raised hens, and yet they are widely available.

It may be surprising for some, but sometimes people take other things than price into account when making buying decisions.

Not all companies offer eSIM. Also, if your phone breaks, with an eSIM you are left with nothing.

Because internet is slow, spotty, and 4G eats a lot of battery. FM radio is lightweight and instantaneous.

- USB-c port

- Act as wireless charger

- Dual SIM

- Under-screen fingerprint reader

- Maybe FM radio

- Headphones socket

That format really needs widespread adoption. Using it is suspicious by itself right now.

It's not hard to tell if the earth is round by observation. You only need feet, a stick, and brains.

About your second observation, please keep it quiet. We have more than enough with the flat-earthers. We do not need another cult.

There is a vast community who thinks it's bad, and unsafe (with examples on how to detect direct piping to bash in order to serve malware) and a few ones condoning it. That seems like saying there is currently a debate on the roundness of the planet Earth.

I sometimes discuss things with myself, taking two sides and having a conversation in my head. I see it as something like when you discuss something with someone in a dream. Is that voice dialogue?

Or the sound the Martians from Mars Attacks made.

I once had to solve thousands of captchas for an archiving project, and buster helped me with a quarter of the captchas (https://github.com/dessant/buster)

It is unnecessary filler that will also get stale pretty quickly. I archive videos, and the ads would be obsolete in less than 10 years.

Under which metric is Ubuntu more polished than Debian? I had the impression that Ubuntu is more user friendly, but buggier than Debian. Honestly asking.
