I use the real ellipsis fairly frequently when I'm on Linux where I have access to compose key sequence, since it's just compose key + `..`. The fact that using correct typography makes people label you as an AI is just sad and it

The em dash "gotcha" is so fucking tiring at this point. It is perfectly possible, and even easy, to write e[nm] dashes manually. With compose key sequences it's barely more effort than typing a normal dash/hyphen, even.

I think the author is spending more effort on this international banner system now than the rest of the site. I got one that seems to be tailor-made for Sweden (mentioning our furniture (IKEA)).

I use my password manager across multiple devices daily. Apparently it has not been working without me noticing it?

This is why space is the only acceptable thousands/grouping separator (a non-breaking space when possible). Avoids any confusion.

Only mandatory in Eurozone countries, sadly. It won't be until 2027 (July at the latest?) where it will be mandatory for all EU countries.

The Eurozone has free instant SEPA transfers* Non-Euro countries won't be guaranteed to have it until July 2027.

Caveat that Vipps support in Sweden is severely lacking compared to the other countries where it's the main system in use.

This is definitely not a thing in most of Europe. Netherlands' anti-credit card stance is quite unique, perhaps only matched by Germany and their obsession with cash.

Certainly not the case in Sweden. Although travel insurance is usually included in your home/renters insurance.

The learning modules on https://learn.microsoft.com/ also seem to have a lot of issues properly loading.

The comment is strangely worded, I too had to read it over a couple of times to understand what they meant.

It also links to his employer ( https://lualtek.io ). Maybe someone should let his employer know what their employee is up to :)

TOTP is still the MFA option that is supported by most services. WebAuthN is of course better, but it's still a minority that supports it.

FWIW the sync server can be self-hosted.

Despite it existing for a long time, support for it is far from universal still. In Sweden there is only a single bank in the entire country that has proper SEPA instant support. Some banks still charge extra for it as well. My own bank req

That's some good news. Hopefully they'll expand it to also apply in Sweden. Although a system that works in all of Europe would be even more ideal.

Vipps is for Norway, not Scandinavia. Sweden uses Swish for similar functionality. I'm not sure what Denmark uses.

You don't have to write the I and J separately, if you have easy access to Ĳ/ĳ: U+0132 LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE IJ U+0133 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE IJ (On the EurKEY layout[1] this is as easy as AltGr + k) [1]: https:/

I much preferred DivXSweden, which is also dead now. They had some notion of quality control on that site which pretty much every other site I've tried lacks.

Most games. Most of the time. You make it sound like there's only a small subsection of games that can be played on Linux when that hasn't been true for some time now. There definitely still exist games that have issues running on

Are there any specific games you require Windows for? I've been pretty much fulltime on Linux at home now (still have Windows on a partition but boot into that a few times per year maybe), and play games more or less daily and have onl
