    I can pay with iDEAL without interacting with a smartphone, using only my laptop and a physical 2FA device provided by my bank. Do you know if this will be possible with Wero?

    Why does it have to be a phone? Some people still use tablets, laptops and, believe it or not, desktop PCs.

    I did not know about this. I used it on Fedora, and I thought Fedora was as close to "default GNOME" as possible.

    Can I use this feature to generate an airplane ticket? :P I think "create" is the confusing part. It should be "digitize" or something. Either this, or "pass" means something else …

    I am a European in Europe and I expect the same. Why would I assume otherwise? The company laptop is full of spyware, starting from the OS. I have no reason to consider it "mine", …

    I agree with you, but considering the state of modern software, I think the values "truth and correctness" have been abandoned by most developers a long time ago.

    I see what you mean now, thanks. To reproduce that example with std::variant I would need some kind of strong type alias, which as far as I know is missing from C++; so the only fe…

    I am not sure what you mean, you can definitely have e.g. an std::variant Which is a sum of those three types.

    Since C++17 there is std::variant https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/variant.html

    But dog breeds are much more diverse than humans. For example, a chihuahua weights about 2kg, a St. Bernard about 70kg. That's a 35x size difference.

    A metric kilobyte is 1000 bytes. An imperial kilobyte, on the other hand, is 5280 bytes.

    I think this is related to the C++ standard library implementation. Using pthread in C, for example, TBB is not required. Not sure about C11 threads, but I have always thought that…
