I have been city shopping for some time, exactly to answer this question for myself. I have seen most of Europe and some asian countries.

So far, my top 3 are: Japan, Israel and UK. Then Ireland, The Netherlands, Switzerland.

However, I haven't been to some of my potential candidates yet: USA, Canada, NZ, Australia, Singapore, Malta

Yet we still don't have any tags / labels for passwords...

I know few people at least who work in IT, make good local salaries, yet very concerned about the general inflation in Estonia - and started moving to other countries in the EU.

This news is one of the signs to show how bad it is.

Everyone is picking on Apple on this, but they're not my biggest problem about non-standard chargers.

- Xbox Series X: Controller charging cable's Xbox side is Type-A. In fact, no Type-C on Xbox AFAIR

- All my travel phones (cheap, non-android), -including 2 Nokias- chargers are USB Mini

- My headphones: Type A

- JBL portable speakers: Type mini

1. Yeah, 4 times a day is a lot and I'm sorry for him. Although I would like to learn more about the details. (I.e other comments mentioning about illegal crossings etc)

2. I'm sorry I didn't fully get this (English is not my first language) but I'm also from a 3rd world country).

3. I'm guessing you are in the USA bubble (which always had and still have a racism problem on a different level) and don't know much about Europe. In Europe, racism would almost never result in any physical violence or not being allowed any rights.

(Edit: My bad, I meant Croatia.)

I don't like his take on Czechia: while being stopped by police 4 times is not pleasant, I'm guessing it's nothing compared to the (lack of) safety in many countries in Africa, South/Central America and Asia. [0]

In the meantime, could someone with experience (i.e a local) please tell me about the current safety of and racism against a white person in Cape Town, where he started his peace run? Is it safer than Johannesburg? I'd love to visit South Africa, but I'm too scared of visiting there nowadays.

> every country requires you leave and come back to change or renew visa status

Not true for EU, either.

In fact, how it works in EU is (for non-EU citizens):

- Get a D visa (for residency)

- Get into the country

- Get a temporary residence permit which is for up to 5 years

- Renew residence permit when it's about to expire or basis (employment, study) is changed - WHILE being in the country.

Same. Dropping this related list here: https://ruby.ee/members/ (This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it :)

I had OS/2 Warp 4 and it was one of the best pieces of software I ever had: from the box design to contents, included software and its quality; and even voice recognition.

I 'had to' use Thunderbird on my primary Linux desktop because there was no other alternatives mature enough and FOSS. Now that I switched to Apple Silicon, I'm much happier with Apple Mail and never looked back.

However I wonder:

- Is it still missing "minimize to tray" functionality without extensions?

- Did they fix the extension compatibility-lock issue? (Many essential extensions not being supported by the latest stable version)

(Edit: I'm curious why this was downvoted, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts! )

Not just the USA, but probably many other countries as well.

For example, in Estonia there's an oligarch named Margus Linnamäe, who owns all the authorized Apple resellers, over 90% of the pharmacies, almost half of the media, almost all the movie theaters etc... This guy can set any price without any competition.

A while ago this guy shut down the most of the pharmacies in the country for a day (in the name of a strike) because government was trying to pass a law affecting him.

No one, especially oligarchs like him should be allowed to have such power.

As someone also have used BeOS and OS/2 Warp, I miss the snappiness of old systems. (I never got my hands on QNX)

What OS nowadays is the closest to that snappiness? Haiku OS? (I'm a happy M1 Macbook user, but it sometimes feel note nough.)

Completely agree. IMO, first thing should be done is to properly label, distinguish and group these terminologies about different types of immigration and foreigners. Then, have a solid policy especially on (initially) illegal immigration.

I guess the parent poster is talking about refugees/asylum seekers and similar conditions rather than qualified immigrants such as students and professional workers, which might be the main source of foreigners in Poland, unlike Germany.

Not gp, but a resident:

    > do you have that government document/card that also works as a smartcard to create digital signatures?

Yes. All ID and residence cards in Estonia include an embedded certificate pair for login (via PIN1) and sign (via PIN2).

    > Does that get used typically in interactions with the government

ID Cards, SmartID and MobileID are the only ways to login to any government system or bank. (Some banks also have PIN calculators).

Extra info:

Instead of ID cards, on a daily basis most people use SmartID (same as ID cards, but as a mobile app) or MobileID (same, but embedded to the SIM card) for auth operations.

Many computers in the government, hospitals and schools have a keyboard with an ID card slot and users can (or sometimes are required to) use their ID cards to log in.

There's also a free-software DigiDoc4 app available for Desktop and Mobile, which allows users to sign or encrypt any document or folder for free, using one of the 3 authentication methods mentioned above. You can use it to sign contracts like rent or business.

About

> First, BGP generally prefers the shortest path and yours is going to be a little long, so unless the best original path is very long you need on some transit provider to use policy-based routing and trust you as transit.

the article states:

> The leaked route is likely preferable because of a localpref setting which would prefer sending traffic for free through a peer regardless of the AS path length, over paying to send traffic through a transit provider.

Doom and Far Cry are the two extremes I can think of.

Have you tried "everything" by void tools on Windows, or "Find Any File (FAF)" on Mac?

Was looking for this. Apparently medium.com started requiring Javascript to read the rest of the article...

- Disable background refresh for all apps (for battery life)

- Enable lockdown mode and any other privacy features

- Limit all app permissions to the minimum, including notifications (for privacy and battery)

- For password manager, use bitwarden (or 1password), not apple's own (to prevent lockdown)

- Under location settings, avoid using precise location unless explicitly required, like maps (for privacy)

I am still shocked why I cannot buy a Shinkansen train ticket between midnight and 6am.

I think Japanese websites problem is much more complex than just few reasons.

Of the 3 times I was in Japan, many websites didn't work correctly on mobile or didn't work at all and required desktop.

When I saw `DS_store` inside the title, my eyes automatically filtered out and ignored that word for few seconds. I had to re-read.

That's how I see these files. And maybe one day, we can have and edit our own .gitignore -like files for such Inattentional blindness[0].
