They’re not noisy because there’s a lot of people, they’re noisy because there’s a lot of cars.

We agree. I meant in the aggregate. Cash is very rare here in NL at least.

If you watch only one video make it the Berkeley Bowl one https://youtu.be/PUFQouwqbe8

Huh, a Dutch one? ING perchance?

Cool, good to know. When I first moved to Ireland you could get a hardware code generator too but I don’t know if that’s still a thing

We chose that when we stopped using cash.

In Europe at least the banks website won’t function if you don’t auth with their app.

Recaptcha requiring attestation also belongs in the list

Honestly, I just want a hardware keyboard. I still miss the slider htc touch pro 2

I guess I misunderstood the meaning of the term eugenics because I thought it was very much intentional artificial selection applied to humans. To reiterate - I do not support this…

I agree with you and hate car centric development, and yet, if this idea gets low or no parking housing built, it could be worth considering.

It was originally 6 pack I believe… the phrase itself evolves

Dalwegians?

I mean, if we wanted every human on Earth to be over 6' tall, we could just cull the short ones (or stop them from reproducing), and this is scientifically valid, but, of course, e…

When my stepmother died we went through her things and found all sorts of ticket and metro stubs from the year she lived in Paris. I’m saddened by the loss of these ephemera that c…

“ The app took him a week to build, half of it lost to code-signing purgatory” Maybe Google is eliminating sideloading to force people to not make their own apk’s now that it’s eas…

For some it is and some it isn’t. My eldest was always a terrible sleeper.

That's interesting, I get pushback when I suggest anything different and for devs under 30 I've had to remind them that git and github aren't the same thing. This is not to cast as…

Adventure games can have amazing stories - I still think Star Trek: A Final Unity could be a great movie, or novel even.

Yet the pointless banners and illegal tracking remains. They do, sometimes, but rarely. And having Ireland's utterly toothless DPC handling so many big tech companies makes it even…

Europe doesn’t enforce the law. Cookie banners are similarly pointless.

Sometimes they are forbidden from making the things they’d like for themselves. You used to be able to get your own food, build your own home, etc. But enclosure put a stop to that…

You’re not wrong. Having traveled a fair bit it does eventually turn in to basically a big theme park experience. I still like looking out the window though

Insane delays and cancellations. I’ve taken them Amsterdam to Berlin, Utrecht to Frankfurt, etc and only one trip has managed not to be multiple hours late. In one case a train end…

Fair, Deutsche Bahn is awful. Went to Berlin with them last November and instead of getting in at 9:00 PM we got in at 1 AM, which was especially horrible given we had a 6 and 8 ye…
