Free school, healthcare and nice infrastructures have a cost..
If that doesn’t strike you as unfair I’m not sure what would.
If there's no website, what am I looking at when I follow the link?
I think the intent is that, there is no web UI for the product itself. The UI for product itself is a terminal program, accessed via either SSH, or a web based terminal client. The product UI has zero HTML/CSS/etc.
I get the point, but the "without a website" claim is kind of a cutesy attention-grabbing prevarication.
I'm usually pretty tolerant of those, but personally find that here it mixes poorly with the idea of a backup service. From such a service, I'd prefer to see total honesty, and a sort of buttoned-down, almost military humorlessness/seriousness.

You are wrong about the usage of currency symbols. Quoting Wikipedia [0]: > When writing currency amounts, the location of the symbol varies by currency. Many currencies in the English-speaking world and Latin America place it before the amount (e.g., R$50,00). The Cape Verdean escudo places its symbol in the decimal separator position (i.e., 20$00). In many European countries such as France, Germany, Greece, Scandin…
Wikipedia is wrong if it says that the placement is based on currency. Wikipedia can also be edited by anyone with a pulse, so there you go.
Here are some official government resources on currency code placement in English.

> The European Union did indeed usher a guideline on the use of the euro sign, stating it should be placed in front of the amount without any space in English
So...what you're saying is that I'm right. I'm very confused now.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
If this a calculation is for Germany, it's nonsense.
How so? I pay exactly 51% in Germany (and I’m ok with that).

I used E because € does not render on xterm, maybe I should switch it to EUR to remove the confusion also fixed the $ to E in the blog, thanks for the heads up
I get that it's probably "trendy" to say you don't have or need a website but with it being so easy to create a static page, I'm failing to understand why you wouldn't just do that, which is already the bare minimum, if you care about your project and want to sell it?
I'm not sure though that a txt document is "simpler" than a bare (no js, not images) html document; on one side you can read it with something as simple as curl, on the other the txt didn't render properly on my phone.

Are you sure this is Germany? The author has their location set to 'Amsterdam' on GH, and has no impressum on their site. FWIW, corporate taxes in Germany aren't 50%, but 15%. What is close to 50% is personal income tax + health care if you pass a certain threshold. However, even if you're running a just sole tradership (Freier Beruf or Gewerbe), this would only be your personal income - all business expenses are not…
But corporate taxes in DE are about 30%, not 15. Don’t forget your Gewerbesteuer.
