The first instance that I remember was when they stopped Wikileaks from taking donations back then.

Nowadays they censor by putting pressure (by denying payment capabilities) on sites that offer content that they dont agree with.

Yea i also think this blind steve worship needs to stop. He was great back then but who knows what he would have done nowaday.

The situation is different, the world is different, apple is serving much more consumers, the company has much more employees, more products, more markets.

And i get it, the software they put out nowadays is pretty terrible and could be much better and everyone is frustrated but this constant steve ressurrection needs to stop.

Also Visa/Mastercard are big silencers…

And JS and PHP, etc… some people have other language priorities and thats fine

Aka software engineers…

Tbh these juggernauts could survive an AI bubble bursting and pick up the pieces, they are playing with a little bit more than their spare change here.

They never died, they are still going strong.

Why not? How do you know that? Debian is used pretty widely

Not needed in the beginning. You can start an UG (mini GmbH) for 1 euro and then convert it into a proper GmbH later.

Some, not all, grant programs cater to female founders or teams with a female.

Yes but in practice pretty much the same except for some local changes in grammar and vocabulary, in written form.

The dialects are a whole other thing though.

Yup, this is the incompetence that we see all over the place since these new frameworks have come and front end devs have no idea what HTML actually is or how it works.

Buttons are for submitting forms and nothing else.

In HTML a link is created using an <a> element.

React has a <Link> element for this purpose, it will be rendered as <a>.

Please OP, at least try to learn a little bit about the underlying technologies.

I like atuin but why is it so slow when first opening (hitting up) in the shell?

A GmbH is nothing “special”, its basically the most used corporate structure in Austria (and Germany).

Its a limited liability structure and most businesses from small to large that have private shareholders use it (Red Bull or Porsche Holding are GmbHs for example)

Yea at this point updating stuff is just almost more pain than pleasure, since new features are very limited nowadays and most of the time things end up being more broken.

For example, the latest MacOS sequoia security update broke the touch id reader when logging in, i need to type my password now everytime. And lets not forget about the new glass design and UI changes in the latest iOS.

Im pretty tired of updates at this point and will push them out unless absolutely necessary.

Incredible that these kinds of services were hosted like this.

I guess they never came out of MVP, which could warrant using serverless, but in the end it makes 0 sense to use some slow solution like this for the service they are offering.

Why didnt they go with a self hosted backend right away?

Its funny how nowadays most devs are too scared to roll their own and just go with the cloud offerings that cost them tech debt and actual money down the road.

It goes hand in hand, it changed both the dev and he deploy workflow.

Before Docker I was using Xampp and FTP’ing source code to the prod server.

The author suggests that Docker doesnt help development and that devs just spin up databases, but I have to disagree with that and Im pretty sure i am not the only one.

All my projects (primarily web apps) are using docker compose which configures multiple containers (php/python/node runtime, nginx server, database, scheduler, etc) and run as a dev environment on my machine. The source code is mounted as a volume. This same compose file is then also used for the deployment to the production server (with minor changes that remove debug settings for example).

This approach has worked well for me as a solo dev creating web apps for my clients.

It has also enabled extreme flexibility in the stacks that I use, I can switch dev environments easily and quickly.

Sure but we are talking about german industrial output, and one of the main reasons for problems here is the absence of the cheap energy that was available until the russian invasion of ukraine.

Cheap russian gas is gone, so now all industry sectors (not only cars) are not as competetive as before.

They are now downsizing, etc in order to save themselves.

If you are a pro user its generally not a good idea to install the latest upgrade immediately.

It’s VC funded, overengineered crap, specifically designed to push people into using their overpriced hosting.

I hope this isnt the way that React as a whole will go in the end.

But fortunately there are enough alternatives about.

Fair point, but I believe they are just migrating for the sake of pleasing their MS overlords.

Does anyone know what infra they are running on now? AWS?

The point is that they are prioritizing this over new features.

But since “new features” consists primarily of shoving the bloody copilot agent down everyones throat, it might not be such a bad thing.

I wanted to watch some football world cup highlights video from a japanese TV channel site, which didnt work with Proton, but did with Nord, so I have been with them since then.

This was during the 2022 WC though, so maybe Proton is better nowadays.

I tried Proton but their VPN wasnt as good as NordVPNs…

But if Nord is sketchy, what is the recommended one?

Well, germany has customer protection laws, but before amazon, customer service was always worse than in the US i would say.

Just think about Media markt customer service for example…

Amazon changed that by introducing US-style no-questions-asked 30 day returns etc… but nowadays they are slowly chipping away at that, 14 days is the the norm now, (which is the hard limit anyway, since being set into law a couple years ago)

But yes the customer friendliness is slowly being cut down, due to growing costs. Zalando (an online fashion retailer) has also reduced their return policy recently.

The moment amazon.de turns into this, im gone.

The only thing keeping me there is the no-nonsense, helpful, customer support.

Any issues i have are always resolved, so it still seems to be working over here.

And what will happen after these 5 years?

2 weeks ago, I got these SMS messages via the official Bitpanda SMS number (the one that sends you the 2FA normally):

Looks completely legit and I was really spooked at first. I can see how people fall for this stuff.
