Blik only works on smartphones inside banking apps. You can’t just generate the codes on the bank’s website. Don’t fall for it, it’s one more step towards bank fueled totalitarianism. I have no idea why it got so popular in Poland.

I’m just sharing how I’ve found b2b contacts. My product was a financial failure but opened some doors.

I used google ads with very specific phrases and geolocation limited to rich countries. I spent a lot on it, the sales were like twice of what I spent, but I got some good contacts from it and they kept coming back for more.

But, and that’s a big “but”, I was employed before, noticed a niche that no commercial provider filled, and created my product. It wasn’t an idea that I thought was fun or could change the world.

rsync.net

I did not, actually, because it’s behind a paywall. I’ve linked and read another one in the comments but it fails to mention about post offices and says the money is going to customs.

Hooray, things are going to be more expensive!

No paywall, same topic: https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/eu-proposes-e2-package-fee-to-tackle-flood-of-chinese-low-cost-goods/

Hahahahaha, what times we live in

Self censorship, the hardest one to bypass

I never used one tbh. Last time I used something WebGL was when its tech demo was released.

Of course all of these have uses, that’s why they exist. I just find these use cases very rare/exotic compared to viewing a video with subs.

There’s direct FS access now? Wow, going full ActiveX

They need to free resources for important stuff such as U2F WebAuthn PassKeys

I’ll take complete video support over WebBluetooth, DRM, WebGL and other similar garbage.

OsmAnd, some people find it too different from Google Maps, I find it very powerful.

I haven’t seen these until much later

I didn’t get that far. And I only had an Amiga at that time, which made things more difficult to set up. I wonder how fluent transparency would be with AGA, haha. My next attempt was woth a PC around 2003 with KDE3 and it got me hooked.

I loved reading HOWTOs, they were a bit like scene zines, but the content wasn’t that helpful indeed

Contrary to other OSes, the information about it was mainly on the internet, no books or magazines. With only one computer at most homes, and no other internet-connected devices, that posed a problem when something didn’t work.

It took me weeks to write a working X11 config on my computer, finding all the hsync/vsync values that worked by rebooting back and forth. And the result was very underwhelming, just a terminal in an immovable window. I think I figured out how to install a window manager but lost all patience before getting to a working DE. Days and days of fiddling and learning.

Aren’t sysfs entries supposed to be created by kernel modules?
