Why are they even named like this?
When I read code, I want to be able to read it…
Is this from a time when space was expensive and you wanted to reduce the space of the source files on the devs PC???
For me (with a native language != english), this made it a lot harder to get into programming in the first place.
There are open groups on Telegram in which people post that they want to see person XY dead… Everyone who joins the open group can read it anyway.
They decided not to moderate this and not to delete illegal content once reported, although it’s easily possible without breaking encryption.
IMO, this has not much to do with privacy.
This is like posting that we should kill someone on Reddit and nothing is happening.
Adding support? It’s a web site. If it works on one OS, it should work on the others automatically with few exceptions. Otherwise, it’s probably a bug in Firefox.
You can browse the maps of the “repository” via openstreetmap.org in your browser. There are multiple apps using the “repository”, like Gnome Maps for Linux or OsmAnd on Android… And many other apps: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Desktop
What exactly is the problem?
In Germany, we have a guy Wallraff, who gets a job at Burger King with a fake identity every few years, just to uncover hygiene scandals every time… Reminds me of that… Nowadays, no one seems to care anymore…
Excuse me, but if they advertise that they don’t give others your exact location (only a larger radius), I expect that to be true and that an extremist can’t use a dating app to track down gay people to their home address.
I have like 20 flatpak software products running without any problem for 2 years now.
Same. I’ve seen the alternative called dependency hell too often… Yes, you can.share stuff between apps, but then, versioning is a nightmare.

We are talking about businesses, right? They want to maximize profits, not giving money away for free… One dollar given away for free is one dollar less for the share holders. And for them, that’s pretty much the worst case.
The credit card company gives you 5% money.
Now, the credit card company has a problem. It loses money.
The credit card company has an idea: Why not making the real customer (the shop) pay more? Prices for shops to use the payment method rise now.
Now, the shop has a problem. It’s losing money and they think: What can we do? They rise the prices of the items they are selling. And who pays the higher prices in the end? You. And you think, you made a good deal.
Yeah, I have a credit card that pays me back 5% cash on grocery store purchases. It would be stupid NOT to use it
Groceries + free money.
I’m reading this as a European and have questions… We all know that there is non free money. So, what’s the business model? Making you use the card more by giving you “free” money and making the shops pay more to use the payment service, so that the shops then increase the prices, so that you pay the same as before (considering increased prices and cashback), but are now using the payment system a lot more?
The 15 seconds are more like a maximum. It’s usually faster. Taking out you phone and maybe entering the phone PIN, opening the banking app and entering a PIN for that takes some time, too.
The advantage that Paypal still has: It’s like a social network. People are connected and it might be easier to use it instead of first asking people for their IBAN code to send the money…
SEPA is actually what we had so far. That is how the employer sends you the money. That’s how you pay rent. That’s how you pay off debts. That’s how your insurances take money from you.
SEPA instant payments is what’s new and it allows to transfer money to someone in under 15 seconds. It existed for a few years, but usually cost money and was not even available for all banks. That’s changing now. Step 1 is making it free and force all banks to offer it. Step 2 will be replacing the old, slower system with it completely.
Paypal was the fast way to transfer money until 2024 in the EU.
But the EU has recently made it mandatory for banks to offer free SEPA instant payments. 15 seconds to send up to 100k as far as I know.
BTW: Look at the share price and how it went down and did not recover…
Arc# is what happens when Microsoft copies it.
Oh no, I can’t get the trophies when using Invidious… 🙃
Disgusting criminal scum!!! /s
And with a bit of namespacing and/or object orientation and usage of dots, it becomes perfectly readable.
There are also camel case and underscores in other languages…
BTW: How on earth should a newcomer know that the letter “n” in that word stands for number without having to google it? The newcomer could even assume that it’s a letter of the word string… And even, if you know that it stands for number, it’s still hard for me to understand what it means in this context… I actually had to google it… But that’s probably some C++ convention I don’t know about, because I don’t program in C++…
