...why would I give my phone number to random people to pay them? I'd rather use an email address or user name. And using phone numbers means making it easier for normal people which means uploading the whole address book to the bank... just no.

Wero is not a PayPal alternative. It doesn't even have buyer's protection and every bank must manually implement it which immediately makes it a failure. Some banks also connect it to your phone number so you can't link Wero to two different bank accounts with the same number when you have 2 bank accounts. Very messy.

Not surprising when content on e.g. Reddit has become so much worse. Every post and comment is the same, everything is rehashed for cheap karma even on niche subs. Never "used" YouTube (like subscribing and regularly watching videos, I despise video content in general) and most videos there are trash with insufferable "content creators".

That's a fake slop hype website.

Since when did we start accepting that paying for providing OAuth sign-in for other companies is good?

You heavily underestimate the value of the 20$ subscription.

The difference is that Apple always did it with iOS and Google did not. Many chose Android because of that.

I use Maccy: https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy but last versions are kinda slow and it has a bug where it doesn't correctly delete old entries and the database keeps growing to >10 GB and RAM usage spikes to 1 GB.

Reminds me of Lavabit where the US wanted the encryption keys and they printed them out in a 4 point font :D

I hope you don't actually believe that USAID helped lives, it's literally a propaganda arm of the government directly intervening in the politics of other countries and being a covert operation for murder and financing dictatorships. That Americans think that sacking it costs "millions of African's lives" is the pinnacle of comedy.

Thanks, every Musk-related thread on HN is like this, it's very tiresome. We get it, the man is controversial but I'm not on HN to read reddit-like kneejerk comments, I want to read insightful and technical ones.

These knee-jerk comments are not very interesting to read.

Running an unsupported OS is even more risky, especially with the excessive number of security updates needed while AI finds RCE after RCE.

People will say LLMs but the issues with GitHub long predate LLMs. It all started when Microsoft acquired them.

Just saw that in the dashboard: "Enable globally", "Exclude EU". Kinda funny (in a bad way)
