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 …

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…

> and my language being set to English Absolutely not. Language should never have any merit at all on country selection. As a Swede that prefers the English language for tech and i…

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 furn…

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.

> Venmo isn't needed, because bank transfers are free and "real time" as in This depends highly on what countries and banks are involved. If I (as a Swede) want to send money to my…

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.

Only for the Azure Portal, despite Front Door also being down but showing as green on the status page.

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. S…

Why would they want to do that?

> They don't copy cleanly if you use nonalphanumeric characters, as in nearly every language other than English. I haven't noticed this ever being an issue. At least in Firefox, no…

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.
