Netherlands here. Most people I know (outside of gamers) tend to have a laptop only if they have one for work anyway, they use their phones for banking, tax, searching the correct spelling of words etc. That's in the…
Think the last time I used a pen is about 8-9 years ago when I had to sign something to buy my home. Notes and stuff I just write on my phone or computer and I don't see what else I'd use a pen for.
I feel like one of the most "extreme" examples here can be Path of Exile. Complexity there is high enough(I can't really think of a more complex game from the top of my head) that planning out how you're going to…
Makes it much harder to target ads(unless you generate separate video files for every separate audience).
Same, and I watch a lot of Youtube. I've never even seen the warning yet. My theory so far is that it's because I'm on Linux and they're guessing Linux-users tend to do whatever they can to avoid watching ads anyway so…
I assume they mean ads for other shows on the same platform(at least Netflix and Prime Video do this), which in my experience not everyone sees as "ads" in that sense(I still do myself).
Even ignoring the whole spying issue(which you shouldn't). Wouldn't problems like we had with DigiNotar(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiNotar) take much longer to resolve if it had to go through some government…
Besides the payment processor I use allowing these things afaik(but that might be an EU vs USA thing): isn't the point of blockchain that everything is immutable and a full history of every transaction is kept? That…
That's true yes. Most of the Path of Building stuff is datamined and/or tested ingame. Interesting that they declined the shop idea, guess they dislike people touching anything to do with their monetization.
> I wish we had more open APIs! Do you mean in Path of Exile or in games in general? Afaik most of the economy stuff in PoE is behind an API that's relatively open(you have to request access, but you pretty much always…
I think the current pricing of Reddit's API isn't meant to recoup costs of maintaining the API, it's meant to kill 3rd party apps so people switch to the official app, which shows ads. It's not so much the cost of…

There's also the argument that at a certain scale the time of a developer is simply more expensive than time on a server. If I write something in C++ that does a task in 1 second and it takes me 2 days to write, and I…
For me a lot of streaming services have simple stopped working(Amazon Prime) in Firefox or are limited to 720p(Netflix), even though I have the DRM stuff enabled in Firefox. So I use it to be able to stream my "Debian…
I remember when the latest DOOM title added a rootkit for anticheat. I had like 4-5h of playtime but still got a refund when I gave the reason "I didn't buy a rootkit". Not in Australia either.
Based on what I see around me Ruby is used by a couple of big companies, while something like PHP(another language that people generally consider as "dying", probably way more so than Ruby is) is used by a lot small…
This reminds me of another translation Aliexpress (used to?) make for the Dutch version. In English, "China" can mean 2 things: - The country - The ceramic material In Dutch these have 2 different words("China" and…
I'd say it's mostly personal. For me it was much easier to switch to one meal a day but not pay TOO much attention to what I eat than it was to keep eating multiple times per day but healthy all the time. The hardest…
Logitech isn't great with this either. Last I used their "drivers" for my mouse it would randomly reset settings, have constant notifications and a UI that was probably designed by their marketing team. I just removed…

As someone who lives in The Netherlands I was kind of confused by this post as well. We have a monthly nationwide test of our emergency warning sirens and every so often the cell broadcast system is tested as well. I…
I bet Scientology and other cults will be just fine as well.
Iirc it's not even an actual law, more of an agreement between all news organizations to not publish names like that. I seem to recall Geenstijl(Dutch "news" site) publishing full names and not getting in trouble over…
