In Germany, it is not very common. Where I see it, I avoid the business.

The app will likely have access to a bunch of unique identifiers on the phone. At least on Android whichs core concept is spying on the user. For me, it's enough that your activity could be linked to any unique identity. I don't

Governments will track with whom you verify. Much worse.

Honestly, I always assumed that consensus was that replication is the hardest part. I believe we have almost none of the technologies required for that. Whenever I read of von Neumann probes I always thought "How can that even made pos

Faring better than some other country doesn't mean its good. Try calling up rt.com via a German phone network. And calling our chancellor a liar will get your house searched.

I was referring to"hey you probably shouldn’t blow your hand off”. I am not against regulations per se, I am German after all. But a sane discussion should be had how far this should go. Regulating things which are dangerous to the per

But that is the maxim which drives almost everything we do on a daily basis.

But this is none of your business. I live in Germany, where everything is regulated by well meaning people. Going so far to regulate what you ought to say or to watch. It is hellish. I don't recognize the country any more in which I wa

But there are things like consistency which one can check for. And should.

I loathe two things in password requirements: special characters and not allowing spaces. C'mon, it's 2026. Require 20 characters and call it a day.

I use 9.9.9.9 but it failed me a couple of times in the past two months. Cloudflare is very robust but I just don't like them. Falling back on them silently is not what I want. I am rather using them directly when quad9 fails.

The problem in a large codebase is keeping consistency when upgrading. I upgraded a codebase of approx 100 kloc from Java 7 to Java 8 a couple of years ago. As I didn't want mixed patterns for the same thing throughout the code base I

That's an illusion. Two days of location data and you can pin down the owner pretty well. I thought about getting a SIM when Germany was about to introduce ID requirements. I quickly realized this being a moot point.

Where in Europe should that be? I live in Germany and for example Stuttgart has a shortage of nurses because they can't afford living in a 1 hour commuting range (one way).

Same experience with Australia. Japan is very painless, as well. Friendly, helpful staff on both.

How can the third party not know I visited pronhub when pronhub verifies a token with the third party handed to me by the third party? This may protect my privacy towards pronhub if I am not logged in. But not my privacy against the third p

So, the trusted third party gets to know which sites you visit?

How do the mirrors get upgraded?

Internal structures often require support. This makes postprocessing necessary which kills your margin or makes the part expensive.

One can call Windows support? And get help?

I just have been quoted 40k for an installation. So, no.

Heat pump installations are far too expensive in Germany to make any sense economically.
