    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…

    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 met…

    You're basically describing Volt Europa. They're having some success with that approach in Germany and the Netherlands, primarily at the municipality level

    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 th…

    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 d…

    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 the…

    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 …

    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 Col…

    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 jour…

    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 a…

    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 straight…

    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 w…

    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 a…

    On mobile it's very common to have data caps, so end users do pay for the bandwidth used by ads indirectly.

    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 clai…
