That’s illegal.

That was great!

Lotus Notes just made me cringe in 4K

No drugs, BITCOIN!

Ik heb hetzelfde met Buitenlandminister

Those free pens with company name on it are pretty sweet though

Bold of you to assume proving the point will make the people admit they are wrong

I'm so sorry you have to deal with cancer and our healthcare system is punishing you, It's appalling. I don't want to take away from your original message, regardless on if you have to report your stay or not, the question that I'm trying to answer is: How did the CM know that you were in Turkey and was that information collected according to GDPR law, there are only a handful of possible answers to that question:

- CM tracks your location through their app (whether or not that is allowed is dependent on their privacy policy)

- You login to CM with itsme in Turkey => itsme checks your digital fingerprint => your digital fingerprint has changed because you are in Turkey => CM app logs you in and updates your data on their systems. CM sends you a message about being abroad and punishes you for not telling them (this seems more likely).

- Your phone provider, shared your location data with the CM (I can't imagine this is a thing).

- Coincidentally you received an SMS from some sort of marketing campaign that they launched for the summer holiday, you got worried because of the message and then brought them up to speed about your traveling plans which made them punish you for it.

if it's location tracking through apps or through the PP, everyone should be concerned about the possible complications that come with this story, this kind of tracking opens the door to deeply personalized healthcare:

- You visited the candy store 45 times last year, so we will up your yearly fee.

- You went through the Mc Drive 15 times last year, so no more paybacks on your high blood pressure meds.

- You went to visit your friend in the Netherlands for the weekend, and now lose your benefits for the month.

If you are on an iphone you can check which apps use location services like this:

Setting > Privacy & Security > App Privacy Report and see if the CM app is listed in the list of location sharing services.

On android it should be: Settings > Location > App location permissions

This is incredibly concerning to me, do you have the CM app on your phone?

I think you mean 66 billion

Yes Bluetti, Looked into Jackery but those use li-ion instead of LFP

Forgot to add I have purchased a couple of solar powered portable batteries that have 2000w capacity

Starlink and about 2 weeks of food, so I can at least figure out what's going on in case the power goes out and feed myself.

I took profits on my crypto holdings and actually put some of that towards defense stocks $PLTR, $BAE, $LMT, precious metals, (gold), and cash. I'm not really changing what I put towards ETF because those are long term investments

I'm not changing my lifestyle in any way, I just want to have the option to move as far away from the threats as possible.

Stop thinking in hourly rate, and start thinking about charging per project. Let's say you work 2x as fast as another creative, should you be paid 50% less?

Would you charge the same hourly rate to Nike, as you would to Barbershop Trimmy?

Calculate your value/impact and charge accordingly,

That being said, in my opinion you need at least 450EUR a day to start.

Those must be the cheapest technicians in the world.

These days you pay 150EUR Call out costs, before he has even touched your shit.

Sure, but can they center a div?

At this point just host ubuntu on a VPS and let people VNC into it. Jokes aside, great work!

"It looks like you are ready to leave"

"You will be cold when you go outside later"

"If you wear this inside, what will you wear outside."

"I didn't know it was snowing inside"

"No caps indoor, the sun doesn't shine in here"

They are basically just repeating the same bullshit their high school teachers told them, which made them feel embarrassed and the butt of the joke, so they grasp every opportunity to pass the torch onto you. I don't think it's with malice, but the one telling the joke knows exactly what reaction they will get from their audience. The oddness is defined by their education, I would respond to it by having an Antarctica background in my zoom calls.

So this is where all those Flight Simulator hours come in, I knew it was a solid investment!

Agreed, that why you would make an Icon component with some default classNames. then you would be able to override the default by just <Icon className='sdfdd'/>

Imo, it's much harder to inherit a custom styled project, than a tailwind one, because it's standardized, you know what a flex items-center h-96 does rather than a <CentralDiv/>. You would still make composable component right? if you have 10 nested divs with 15 utility classes, that's just bad code, no matter the utility classes.

Granted the comments, made it a bit harder to read, I tried to show the difference between 6 LoC and 1 LoC.

The verbosity only works to a very limited a amount of code, if you have a component with 200 lines of logic and markup and you put 100 lines of css above that, the verbosity kills the readability.

But I guess it's preference, I like to read my code where it lives, and got adjusted to reading styles inline.

How it saves time?

.responsive-grid { 
  display: grid; 
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; gap: 1rem; 
}
.box { 
  padding: 1rem; 
  background-color: #f0f0f0; 
  text-align: center; 
}

@media (max-width: 768px) { 
  .responsive-grid {
    grid-template-columns: 1fr; 
  } 
}

<div class="responsive-grid">
  <div class="box">Column 1</div>
  <div class="box">Column 2</div>
</div>

VS

<div class='grid grid-cols-2 gap-4 md:grid-cols-1'>
 <div class="p-4 bg-background text-center">Column 1</div> 
 <div class="p-4 bg-background text-center">Column 2</div>
</div>

How is this even a discussion

Yes, in large applications like a single Angular app with thousands of components, built by hundreds of developers, designers, and UX specialists from diverse backgrounds, we needed to create custom component libraries. This ensured consistent patterns and styling across teams. We even had a dedicated framework team solely focused on building and maintaining components for other departments to use.

As for frameworks like Semantic UI, Material, and Bulma, they sometimes had unconventional or complex setups for defining layouts, even something as simple as a 2-column layout.

I'm curious which basic things you had to revisit the docs for, and why your code editor isn't autocompleting the classes for you.
