Signalling still works, so you can let the trains continue to a safe place like a station and then not let them leave until the radio issue is resolved

Wero doesn't change that as it's just another interface for SEPA instant payments. In its current version, it just adds phone numbers as an alias. Via the phone number you can also find out their full name and, after a transaction

In the context of age limits, that is wrong. The German eID has a zero knowledge method of proving that your age is above a certain number without revealing anything else. That method has been around for like 15 years and these days, thanks

I'd be happy to pay for premium if it actually removed all ads from the platform. I wish they forced creators to declare which segments of a video are ads for their sponsors and then removed or skipped them for premium users. Basically

You can remove videos from your watch history and in my experience that does have an impact on the recommendations as it's not factored in anymore

With the main difference being that you don't get an actually usable visual diff for free but instead have to buy those from third party vendors to make any use out of the manual diffs.

Matlab plays a sound on error by default (on some systems through the internal speaker, bypassing volume controls) and I always found it irritating. The only use case I see for them is something running in the background that takes a while

Sure but assuming you're traveling from centre to centre, which is where population densities are highest, is a sound assumption. Otherwise you can always find spots where getting to the airport, train station, flixbus stop or whatever

Even if you aren't at the airport that early, it still takes you an hour to get from the airport to the city centre in Berlin, and about half an hour to get to the airport from Cologne's city centre. That's by train, by car i

Let's see. Cologne to Berlin takes ~4:40 hours by train. Flixbus takes 9-10 hours, not counting the time it takes to get to their departure station which would involve a train journey as it's not actually in the city centre. Flixb

It's used by lesbians just as often and giving vs receiving has nothing to do with fetishes. You can have the most vanilla sex imaginable and still have a top/bottom.

This isn't true everywhere. E.g. in the alps you might be billed for rescue, particularly if you're not injured or in a medical emergency. That said, SAR insurance is cheap. Many alpinist associations and the likes offer it as par

Do you mind sharing the Julia code? Seems odd that it's that far away from even Python.

True, that works as well. Either way as a tenant it's best to do manual payments (even if they're automated on your end) each month so that lowering rent, if necessary, is straightforward.

> SEPA direct debit is a really really popular thing in Germany. Most utilities prefer (quite understandably) to pull from you instead of waiting for your transfer. Even landlords usually give you an agreement form to pull your rent out

It's on f-droid with reproducible builds. Obviously there's a risk that the person scanning the QR code does shady things with it but it's rather unlikely the app itself will. It would be caught really quickly.

That's incorrect, the verification happens fully locally. The check app occasionally has to update trusted certificates but otherwise it runs locally. No personal data is sent to any kind of server.

I don't think it's quite as clear-cut. MPs are meant to vote according to their conscience, not party lines or coalition agreements. It's a choice to vote against what a party claims to be their values in order to maintain st

How does it force YouTube to make a deal? They could still block all copyrighted material that they didn't have a licence for, they're just not allowed to falsely block anything.

Thankfully said EU law includes a part that it's forbidden to block content for copyright reasons if the copyright claim is invalid. It includes ways for NGOs and users to go after companies that overblock. How this will actually work

DeepL has been a blessing for this. While at least for German it tends to use rather formal language sometimes, it's far better than Google translate and generally reliable enough to not require a native to check it.
