  • The closest I got was by just using avalonia. I had to use winforms for my uni and convincing my teachers to allow my team to use avalonia was not easy. Avalonia is not even remotely similar to winforms. You can try setting up a VM, but I understand that it is not a real solution. I found some docs for an old version of mono which referenced some of the winforms API, but I had no luck running it.

    Oh wow, that’s really bad wtf. I would not mind it if it meant that the employees also get paid that much extra. But by looking at another comment here, it looks to me as if that is not the case. Really sad how undeserving of our support this system is, especially in the USA.



  • I mostly use shell-gpt and ask it trivial questions. Saves me the time for switching to a browser. I have it always running in a tmux pane. As for code, I found it helpful for getting started when writing a functionality, but the actual engineering part should be done manually imo. As for spending money on it, depends on how you benifit from it. I spend about 50c on my openai API key, but I know a friend who used ollama (I think with some mistral derivative) locally on a gaming laptop with decent enough results.





  • I prefer mullvad. Not only is their pricing and account system much more privacy focused, they are a European (Swedish) company and are bound by the laws of my country by default. Another European one is surfshark (Dutch) which I used before. I trust mullvad more though. They also have open source clients and had no user data stored when they were raided once before.

    Edit: clarifying the reason I used surfshark. I used it back when I was in high school a few years ago, so their 3 year plan seemed like a very good price. They also supported this very obscure VPN protocol whose name I can’t remember, and my school just so happened to have forgotten to block it on their network. But I couldn’t use that protocol on Linux due to incomplete connection steps provided by surfshark, and I switched to using linux full time in the second half of my first year, so that was a waste and I just used my mobile data.



    1. 72km is indeed a long distance, but by using bike for travel does not mean using bike to go from your house to your destination unlike how a lot of people think. My usual route (30km) is bike 1km to a bus station where I get on my bus, it takes me almost all the way to my destination. From there, I either get off at a stop which is a 12 minute walk to my destination, if I have plans to travel with my friends who live in the area, or I go to the city center where I take a bus. I do know someone who has to travel 115KM (71 miles) to work, but they just take one train and it brings them within walking distance of their work. And if its raining, I can just walk with an umbrella, get on a tram, and go on from there. By the way, my travel is usually around €150 per month, which is a fixed cost as I have a monthly subscription for the travel. It would be around €500 I think for my friend.
    2. Assuming you are from USA because of miles. A rail network does not need to be placed on every inch of your land. Public transport follows a hierarchy, same as your roads. You don’t have your interstate network taking you to every little corner now do you? Trains are similar. Trains connect major cities. Metro connects up the suburbs and all the distant yet important areas and busses and trams and bikes are for local transport. As for the cost, according to reports from 2016, the total infrastructure costs for rail networks in the EU were €80 billion, while the same for road networks was about €184 billion. Source Am I saying these numbers are conclusive? Absolutely not, European countries in general have prioritised better public transport infrastructure for a long time, and fixing existing infrastructure is a huge undertaking, one which requires a lot of manpower and expert engineers.
    3. And how are you getting this cello in your car? Also, renting a van to use when moving is pretty cheap if you didn’t know! No need to pay quarterly taxes and if the person before you was kind enough, you don’t even need to pay for fuel (although you should leave rented cars with the fuel you got it with). Don’t tell me you trust 16 year olds who just got their license to not hit your car when you are transporting something worth more than your life in the rain.
    4. Actually, most families in the Netherlands already do that. We use bakfiets here.
    5. Maybe you should go talk to your friends or something, have a beer maybe. Walk to the local pub and- oh wait, my bad, I forgot that walking to someplace probably will be lethal where you come from with all those cars. Try to be a bit more positive. And you did not answer my question either, just started insulting me, which was very uncalled for I should say. Its like shooting a man because he stole a $5 sandwich from your store. Anyways, I hope this answer clears your doubts regarding my views on your questions, and I do hope to actually get my question answered instead of getting more stupid questions and insults.

    Using your device to do whatever is op’s right. From reading the post, it seems to me that the problem is that they disable other forms of auth. This is for sure intentional, or at least a low priority bug for obvious reasons. I had the same issue, but it was failing to pull up the menu in my stock nothing phone 1. It got fixed later, but why are my backup emails or phone numbers not being used as other forms of 2fa. That is when I realised that despite my efforts, I have ended up relying on Google too much. In the process of changing that, even if it costs me money to host the servers.
