Well your database crashing isn't much better for your uptime really

You're already trusting them with their proprietary cloud products, whose code you can't read. Why wouldn't you trust them with their client SDK code.

Especially for offline sync Firebase is still much stronger than other all-in-one solutions.

The real alternative there would be to use some SQLite syncing solution and a different solution for auth and cloud compute.

NVIDIA GeforceNow also caps at 100 hours/month, though it doesn’t sell a game subscription with it obviously. Then again it comes in at less than half the price of Game Pass Ultimate.

I always thought Bun's approach was to be the JS runtime with a large well-designed std-library, this isn't really new. It's nice to have a choice of a more or less-featured runtime depending on the project's requirements -- if size and complexity are an issue, there's a variety to choose from.

The problem is that if you are the target demographic now, you’ll never know if you’re still next year or if you’ll be deplatformed and as such it makes for not a very reliable code host.

The article literally says they intend to selectively enforce this rule and not be strict with it?
I don’t think this ever works with passkeys stored in pw managers though, only Face ID/whatever Android is doing?
Maybe, the other ones at least respond with “we don’t want to pay you” after a week (: (I think hotel, etc. is usually paid back very quickly as that can’t really be disputed unlike the 600€). I think for really any airline if everyone actually exercised their rights they’d go bankrupt quite quickly paying multiples of the original ticket price to everyone
Small note for others: It’s not this complex everytime, luckily, you mostly just need a bit of persistence (and once you filed a complaint, while it might not even be legally binding, for example in Switzerland, the airline might just send the money at some point during the procedure as the chance someone files a complaint also goes to court and generates more costs is high —- so it’s always worth it trying the official way before going to agencies).
I figure this is the nextjs exception? The website would probably be HTML-first (I.e. SSR, would work non-interactively without JS), just that the JS doesn’t fail silently.
It was in fact not, hence why I asked :/
How is this twisting the knife in the wound? I wanted to say that they (and other people wearing hijabs) are part of German culture.

Is it illegal too to expel non-citizens? IIRC the issue is primarily wanting to expel certain citizens.

I don't know how the procedure for banning a europarty looks but in Germany the bar is very high. It must be against the core constitutional values (human dignity, freedom, democracy) and pose a threat to that (infamously NPD was not banned as it was found to small to pose a threat).

The procedure here seems to be similar to Germany that the parliament can only request a review from an independent body (in Germany the constitutional court) if this is the case, the actual decision comes from that body after a lengthy process.

Behind the europarty is (among others) the AfD for which the public has been debating for years now on wether to attempt to ban them because of their danger, so it doesn't seem very far fetched for their EU party really.

Someone wearing a hijab looks out of place in the land of the Döner?
> Every European nation state is built around ethnicity as the bedrock of society.

What do you mean by it being the bedrock of society? I haven't found ethnicity to be an important part about being a citizen here at all.

> Political groups are factions of the Parliament, while parties are alliances of national parties at EU level, funded through the EU budget. Neither the group in the Parliament nor the lawmakers will face any consequence if ESN loses its status as a European party.

It’s important to note the lawmakers stay in office even if the European party is banned.

Europe is also not the US and from my knowledge it seems that this is the only party suspected of not complying with values. There are many many more parties that they are not trying to ban.

I’d reckon many books available on there are otherwise available DRM-free, you’d be surprised really how many authors don’t bother with DRM.

And then you could obviously just buy it physically where buying is definitely owning, so I find that sentence a bit inappropriate for books

Well in that case however it’s anything but silly, with AfD chapters being classified as confirmed extremist right[1], holding its party congress on this very day, exactly 100 years after the NSDAP held an important congress focusing around Hitler and introducing the hitler salute[2], holding meetings to make plans about expelling German citizens[3], had an employee convicted of being a Chinese spy[4] just to cite a few.

What exactly is the issue with that?
Good luck with referring to GDPR. Try clicking through YC startup list and see how many load GA and other trackers onto their landing pages without a consent banner or even a privacy policy sometimes. It’s baffling.
That's awesome to hear, thanks!

It would be awesome if the API would get more robust and documented in general -- right now it seems some params seem to not really work (ex storage zone search), and other endpoints take so many without much clarity over what will be set as the default and what's required. I found that for most calls I needed to check the network requests from the dashboard to see how to use them, would be awesome to have more documentation and examples here showing common flows.

I hope this might be of use to you, it's exactly that, one-command deployments. :) It's still early, but I'm using it across my deployments and it works pretty flawlessly.
