Never seen this one in Italy, and I've been in several fairly old buildings.

Oh I know, I lived in a old house as well and circled through europe so I've seen/suffered all the plugs from UK/France/Germany/Italy... In this regard, long live the "europlug" an…

I really like this design due to how compact it is. Italy has an almost identical historical design*, but the earth is not offset so LN can be swapped. Both plugs and sockets are v…

Perhaps it is harsh, but element is being founded to improve the client, and I find several other open source clients to behave better than the official one. I call this honest cri…

My suggestion, again: buy FluffyChat. Add important missing features, such as cross-signing. Make it the default client. You can keep element for advanced users. I'd argue it's sti…

You can. People have suggested the Element foundation to publish "red blue green yellow" versions of element with just a different app id for this. I wouldn't be against it (the _c…

I totally get it, but I still disagree. Getting more users on the network should be a #1 priority. You don't want to keep another 10 chat programs, just because matrix is "not" a p…

For the average user the element UI is just confusing. This is the #1 complaint I got from all non-techies. They expect to just see a contact list, with each contact being a simple…

The Element foundation should use some of that sweet money to: 1) buy FluffyChat and some serious UI designers, because Element is probably one of the worst matrix clients in terms…

I started to work as a staff member of a local research center mostly doing foundational research (genetics, life sciences), publicly founded so no conflict of interests. At some p…

I generally never comment on this to my coworkers because I want to be polite and keep good relationships (I've had very hard responses to very polite requests just to open the win…

That hardly masks anything TBH. You smell the same with some hint of mint on top. Most of the smell comes from your lungs, your clothing and your hair. You need to stay outside for…

I'm in IT, but I've worked as electrician and carpenter for some years. IMHO this is not easily comparable as you'd think. You can easily estimate the time required to perform some…

YMMV but I've also disabled favicons as well where I can. For me the reason is that the icon is too small to be useful while browsing. The details are insignificant, so it just end…

What do you mean by "BOTH my own sending and the bill sending back to them? When did this happen, and from where? My last cross-country return was in 2017 for a lens (sold and ship…

Note that when ordering outside the country you still have to pay for the shipping fee of the return yourself _to_ the amazon store of origin you selected, making this a lot less f…

Currently for me 4G is the only option to work remotely (the only alternative would be going with a wimax provider, or sat). I don't normally incur in the data size caps, but I wil…

That's the idiocy in general of modern car design. A bright-blue headlight of a modern car will actually make everything surrounding the headlights darker. A light which is slightl…

I use some CAD/CAM programs on Wine and they're sensibly faster in both rendering and general usage compared to a windows install (I have a dual boot system). I can only complain a…

I lost my cat in my 20ies, which died of old age. I wasn't living with my parents anymore for years when this happened. I still sometimes weep when I think about it, decades later.…
