Let me guess: You get your groceries delivered by some underpaid sucker? While I enjoy biking it's impractical many times (if you don't live a sheltered life with people doing all the annoying stuff for you).
We have those inner city bike extremists here, too. There's proposals like banning all motorized traffic from the city because you "can walk to your bakery duh". But they never ask themselves how the baker gets all his materials to the bakery.
Those alarms are pretty much mandated by law. So it's politicians/law makers who "design" those alarms. This smells like inexperienced engineers designing something and then being surprised by side effects. Sadly there's a severe (temporal) disconnect between making the law and seeing its results in person.
Can't you just snip/disconnect the speaker/bell wire? I did this back when I had a truck and often had to maneuver with open doors (at very slow speeds) - the "door open warning bell" was so annoying that I just pulled its wires.
AFAIK the warning tones don't come from the car's stereo speakers but have its own speaker.
Yeah, but Fuji X cameras are renown for their JPG processing so many people want the in-camera JPG. You could shoot directly to JPG but with an app like that you can later change the JPG profile, etc. while adjusting exposure parameters.
Meh, the threat vector to me as a resident of Germany is the German government - not some dude at the other end of the world. What is Musk going to do? Ban me from Twitter? Not sell me a Tesla?
That's nothing compared to what German authorities can do to me. Germany is a country where you get police searching your home for torrenting movies or making stupid jokes on Facebook. So yeah.
Also about enshittification - one could argue that our local ISPs never left that phase to begin with.
>Regardless of who is at fault, you are losing a lot of customers that way.
Don't know. Germans are stingy. I'm German, I live in Germany yet I don't even localize my software to German anymore because German downloads wouldn't convert in any meaningful way. (Even when I had German localization).
It's just anecdotal of course but every other dev I talked to would confirm this unless they had some very germany-specific product.
I'm glad Vodafone is available where I live. They're not better but at least they're an alternative. Also Telekom manages only to deliver 250mbit/s while Vodafone gets 1gbit/s.
Last apartment I rented Telekom was the only option and that was one of the reasons why I decided to move.
Starlink I would love to try but as there's building and trees blocking the horizon it's not an option here sadly.
I have the same problem with Jekyll. I fixed my website for the Jekyll version I installed when I got this machine (in 2021). I dread the moment when I get a new computer and have to either try to install this particular version of Jekyll or to fix my website again.
I just assumed static website generators would be stable but well, there's always something that breaks. Terrible user experience for someone who just wants to use the generator to generate a website vs. to tinker with it as a hobby.
I'm in the process of porting my website to PHP ... but that project hasn't gone anywhere because currently everything works ;)
Before macOS 26 I would have agreed with you. But after Tahoe my M1 MacBook Pro feels a lot slower.
Funny, there's even some regression in layer backed NSView rendering where the app I'm working on is faster (in some aspects) in a macOS 15 VM than on bare metal under macOS 26.
