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 …

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 veri…

> that was secure and wouldn’t give me a headache, so number 3 was off as well. Is having a backend controller that securely writes to a DB when a url is posted to that difficult i…

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 …

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…

> In a perfect world I'd assume this would be fixed slowly as this seems to be a recent trend, but I'm not hopeful. Yes, I thought the Ampel coalition's push for digitization was a…

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 sai…

Best to read that entire last line about German humor

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 …

> I don't want to downplay any of this and I mostly agree with your points, but as a German the only "related" things I have to do is renew my ID and passport every 10 years and I'…

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 …

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 wh…

Anmeldung is one very small, very simple thing. Have you been to your Ausländerbehörde yet?

Perhaps, perhaps not. I'll get an EU passport next year. Oops scratch that the wait for naturalization is now upto two years. So I'll get an EU passport in 3 years, and then the ri…

As an immigrant (and a very well paid one paying obnoxiously high taxes), I've recommended every single person asking if they should move from India to Germany to not to. The only …
