I don't know a single person who uses bitcoins or a single store that accepts them... and it's very risky for companies due to it's extreme volatility (the price may increase/decrease by hundreds percent within days or weeks)

Cookie popups is another reason to hate the EU. The block is called a bureaucratic monster for a reason.

Thank you cryptominers for everything you did for the mankind, especially huge GPU prices and insane air pollution caused by your mining farms.

and don't forget missing USB-C connector! I can charge all my 15 devices in a travel via a single cable, but Apple users have to carry another charger (or adapter) just for smartphone...

Why is Apple so far behind the competitors regarding hardware? They still have huge notch on the top, but competitors have invisible cameras behind display (Xiaomi Mi Mix 4). No fingerprint behind the screen like competitors. No foldable body frame. The only thing Apple do better than competitors is CPUs / SoCs.

Zurich is not Germany. It's Switzerland, a different country. And many Germans move to Switzerland, because salaries there are higher and taxes are ~2 times lower.

Americans got it right. Germans are, on the other hand, happy to work for a penny as you can see from the numbers below:

Average salary in San-Francisco for developers: $175.036

Average salary in Germany for developers: 61.176 Euro

That's 2.5 times more than in Germany. Please also note that many products like gas, electricity, laptops, smartphones are cheaper in the US, despite much higher salaries.

In the next C# version, you don't need to use brackets for namespaces anymore. Just write

namespace Honlsoft;

and that's it.

What is the best free alternative to Paint.NET for web developers? I tried GIMP some time ago, but it's interface looked very outdated / unpolished (at least on windows).

Vodafone is much worse than T-Mobile. In Germany they forge customer signatures and edit voice call records to create "fake" contracts and extract money from you. In my case I have to pay 120 Euro per month, even if the flat rate internet connection I have should only costs 80 Euro.

But only iPhone send your pictures automatically to the police without your consent, just because some unreliable Apple-AI suggest it *could be* something illegal...
