It used to be - but even now the problem is a different one. Less about police brutality (Menezes and Tomlinson notwithstanding) and more about police apathy and not-my-job-ism when facing any crime harder to solve than a traffic collision.

The company that I work for makes a b2b wholesale platform. We use Rust on the backend for its reliability. The performance is a nice bonus too.

That's correct in the most of the English speaking world, apple juice is what it sounds like, cider is fermented apple juice (as far as I'm aware, it is in the UK). In American English cider is apple juice, and hard cider is fermented, alcoholic apple juice.

Correct that we call it hard cider if it's fermented. For non-fermented, we draw a distinction between apple juice and cider. Best explained by Flanders: https://youtu.be/L1BfF77Pvio?t=15

Did you stay with Paypal after that? I'd have run for the hills.

Mostly use stripe/freshbooks these days but have kept that paypal account all these years because it feels like it's got special powers :-D

Maybe even one that can randomise some settings to throw off fingerprinting.

Do you know a good alternative?

I don't have a good alternative for points of interest (restaurants, ...), but for maps and routing I use https://www.locusmap.eu (with offline Locus Maps, Android only). For car navigation Waze, ironically an app from google, is also nice and has full congestion avoidance.

> Moreover, for some reason people tend to read only that first tweet while what I wanted to say is in next 5 tweets too.

I find it concerning that Twitter has become such a common way to share news. The short message format can make it impossible to get a full point across reliably.

Discord is pretty good, although it's gaming focused so not ideal if you're looking for something professional.

Have you ever looked at Lutris?

https://lutris.net/

If I recall correctly it still requires you to install all the clients for the different game stores and use them for purchases and updates and lutris simply displays all of your games. Not nearly as useful as we need but its significantly harder and probably against some ToSs to do what I am thinking.

Syncthing instead of dropbox. Works great for synching music (and only music as I can just sync a single folder) and for replicating important files across multiple computers.

I've got it on a linode and across all my computers.

https://syncthing.net/

You know you can add several entries, and so several directories with syncthing, do you ?

Me, I’ve got one for all administrative stuff, one for my web WIP, one for my personal photos, etc...

And each doesn’t replicate on the same other servers, as you can choose by entry.
