I have come to believe that in the near future, software development is going to become a common skill, like driving. I myself have been vibe coding so many tiny apps/scripts/cron jobs that resolve tiny inconveniences in my life a

I assume keys generated via Keygen.sh live in a centralized database against which the client verifies the keys upon startup. Keygen crackers only work against algorithmically verified licence keys.

So you making good pay by enabling a scammer makes it totally okay for the scammer to operate? By extension of that logic, hitmen should no longer be persecuted provided they make good pay from it.

Linux Mint is the distro you're looking for. Especially if you're looking to set it up for non technical users.

How I wish my city would have an open appointment booking system. Instead I get to send an email, and then wait for a response for the next 4-6 months. Thankfully once you get that initial response the rest of the process moves smoothly now

There are a lot of things you don't get in big cities in India, which you can easily get if you're in a small town or a village. Parks, trafic, quiet are all part of that. That said, there are indeed a lot more things that are in

Even with the /s it's a paltry attempt at belittling real issues. I didn't complain that Germany was full of beer and everybody ate bread and the smell of bakeries was suffocating.

Would replacing the word "foolish" with "naive" be better? Because that's what I intended to convey. Bad choice of words there.

Lol, expecting your residence permit to not take 9 months to get renewed is Ambani level privilege? Expecting to get a doctor's appointment in a couple of weeks is privilege? > If this level of greatness is true then why are you her

Way to assume. I love how literally everyone who criticizes Germany about being slow and inefficient is assumed to come from a place of privilege. If I missed by "servants" I'd be complaining about separating my garbage and h

Sorry where was the insulting? You responded saying you won't fight against things that don't personally affect you, and I pointed out how things you don't think personally affect you will eventually affect you.

And this is where the fallacy is. Indian salaries are currently actually higher than German ones for my role. And that's without even accounting for PPP. The ground reality is different from what people assume it is. The base assumptio

So if you don't face the problem personally you don't voice out against it? You do realize how cause and effect works right? If you don't voice out and change the system this is what happens: 1. More and more immigrants stop

But Firefox for Android originally did support the entire breadth of the addon ecosystem. When Mozilla made the quantum update they removed support for addons, and then brought back a very tiny subset. How is that not enshittification?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant that way. But it is important that Indians who place so much importance and pride on caste understand this. To a non-Indian, you and that supposedly 'lower' caste guy you won't eat to

For the vast majority of Indians, their last name gives away their caste. If not their last name, their way of speech, their place of birth, what they eat. Caste-ism is so ingrained amongst a lot of Indians, that it is the first thing they

Oh no, I know PWAs are not really all that capable. But there are an astounding number of apps which are apps only because they need push notifications. All of these could become PWAs.

I hope this means Apple is finally forced to start competing on features and not just on being able to block apps from their platform. Case in point: Push notifications for PWAs. If there is an alternate browser that supports this, that can
