Of course there is no mandate to offer anything for free. They just need to be offered for the same price as other methods.

But most people have a bank account for a fixed price and some even for free. So individual transfers are considered free, even if the correct term would be "already paid".

Fair enough, been so long since we had paid transfers here, I forgot it used to be a thing.

Money transfers between bank accounts for no extra fees (well, that's limited to the Euro, so a couple of countries chose to stay outside). Mobile phone usage for no extra fees all over EU (some limitations, but typically not relevant for the average trip).

B2B the integration has even bigger impact.

I don't think eletric plugs are even regulated. British plugs never changed and they were not an argument in Brexit.

Which is why bank to bank transfers are so easy in the US.

I have several Google accounts registered at various emails, but they get auto-forwarded to my gmail. Gmail spam filter regularly puts Google's own messages related to those accounts into spam. I have marked them as "not spam" for ages, but the spam filter does not really learn.

No idea whether it is incompetence or malice, asking me not to use other email providers, too.

Doesn't `less -R` solve the ANSI escape problem?

No, it's insane to have to rely on that workaround. Having to download raw logs, bring up a terminal, go to that directory, and type less -R, is already a massive pain. All of that and you don't even get back a basic scrollbar.

And how do you expect people to even know about this workaround, and how to search for text with it? It's not like the GitHub UI even tells you. Not everyone is a Linux pro.

Nobody is saying it's impossible to get past the ANSI escape codes. People eventually figure out ways to do it. The claim is how much of your time do you want to lose to friction in that process, which you have to repeated frequently. It's insane for it to be this hard.

Nice. But 5 years seems unrealistic. Who stays on the same job using same processes 5 years these days? Even if the task might remain the same, input formats might change, requiring extra maintenance to the tool. Should recalculate that for 3 years before using it in my automation decisions.

you do not work in the public sector, where processes change rarely, slowly, and partially

Not yet passed, waiting for senate approval.

Senate just stamps whatever comes on their desk in France

Not exactly. They don't have the final say, so if they disagree with something, they can (and will) be overruled. But they don't "stamp" things and aren't otherwise made to approve what they don't like.

Have they been opposed to anything remotely meaningful in recent history?

Unfortunately they made the mistake to ban slavery /s

Slavery was a major economic drain, it wasnt a boon to the us economy. There is a reason the south remained agricultural and under developed, it was slavery.

As a matter of fact schweissen is only correct spelling in Switzerland.

In Germany it would be schweißen.

Rammstein is a band. Ramstein is the most important US military bases in Europe. I guess you meant the latter?

Thank you, was confused there for a second XD

Aha, yes!

Reading a couple of pages of the full complaint, starting from page 15 is surprisingly accessible (assuming German is accessible at all to the reader).

They claim Telekom keeps their transit access points intentionally underdimensioned. In order to be reachable at decent speed by Telekom customers, internet services need a direct, paid contract with Telekom.

Edit: The section numbering is weird. Why does 2.2.0 come after 2.3? On my phone, don't have a good overview.
