Fair enough, I just wanted to say that I meant no insult to the good people of Haarlem.

Sorry, I think it might have been something lost in translation, I was trying to say "settlement located close by and heavily influenced by another much bigger settlement". I don't know a better word for it.

Wait until they figure it out that Harlem is named after the Amsterdam suburb, since New York was originally New Amsterdam.

That's a map of the NL, is it not?

Thank fuck tho, it will keep electric waste down, and I feel we are starting to figure out you don't need to spec your game to the newest graphics card for it to be fun.

How can this GaaS thing be sooo profitable and also such bad press that even mentioning it results in a "sorry we didn't mean that" article?

A lesser standard still applies if it either embeds or redirects to a payment page. Again, shouldn't mean shit, but still.

Because the alternative seems to be a Russian intelligence asset.

the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they’re paid

Yeah, but the whole PCI DSS thing means that the app must still be secured. That doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be tied to Google Play, but explain it to them.

IIRC they did coupons exclusively in their app a few years ago where I lived (haven't checked since), and they hiked the price of everything, so if you don't install the app, you get a 20% surcharge in effect.

That goes for every single shitty chain store as well.

I guess the problem is that app developers write the installers, and they suck at following conventions. Obligatory fuck Snap, as it creates a folder in the home dir, and it doesn't even bother to hide it, and it is not even reconfigurable.

Thanks for spamming this to keep reminding me, I am a total slob, and it took me this long to go find my ID card to sign.
