Anecdotal, but the other day I tried to open a pptx and a docx and both were ”corrupted” according to LibreOffice. I had installed it just for those documents. So I uninstalled it again.
Given how much cost Paradox have sunk into that game, they are just trying to break even here, I think. I’m not saying that means anyone should be okay with this, I’m just offering an explanation. But makes me wonder if that’ll actually work out, or if they end up losing more through that bad PR.
CLI, gitui, SmartGit, various editor integrations when I’m there anyway (VS code, JetBrains)
The CLI is great because it works everywhere, but it’s not the best to review changes before I commit, or to inspect the log, plan merges etc. So I tend to go for more graphical tools for these tasks. Used SmartGit a lot at work. But recently learned about gitui and like its simplicity at times esp when I’m at the command line anyway.
The editor integrations I only really use to commit small changes or switch branches, see if I have changes etc.
German living in Sweden here. Never seen them here (Stockholm area). I am sad.
As far as I understand the ones we have here are generally better for bad weather. Can leave them open even in some rain. Not sure I find it worth it though. I miss my German windows.
The final assembly is only part of the story though. As far as I understand, fairphone does actually try to check their supply chain to ensure the raw materials are (more) ethically sourced. As opposed to those optimizing for profit, who will intentionally look the other way.
Privacy is one of the most important design features of the digital euro.
The digital euro is designed to be able to function offline in a way that would offer users a cash-like level of privacy, both for sending money to other people and for paying in shops. When paying offline, only the payer and the payee would know the personal transaction details of the payments made.
For online digital euro payments, privacy would be implemented so that the Eurosystem itself – the issuer and payment infrastructure provider – would not be able to directly connect transactions to specific individuals.
I thought this day one DLC crap was just them trying to break even. But now they are refunding people? I don’t get what their play is here.
