If you’re white and have a reasonable amount of money you’ll be fine anywhere in Europe 😬… I’m only half joking.

I don’t think I can ever let my parents know I’m an atheist and with that seems to go my chance of having kids.

I know at first it sounds difficult because you care for your parents. But this is your life and whether they choose to respect your choices or not is up to them. If you want kids, have kids. If you want to be an atheist, be an atheist. If you want to dye your hair blue, dye your hair blue.

Your parents don’t have to agree with your choices (as long as you’re not breaking the law or anything like that)… but they should respect you and your choices.

TL;DR: Don’t live for your parents, live for you.

They’re not talking about Maths. They’re talking about wealth.

So… a tablet?

Oh that makes sense. I think I last used Amarok 20 years ago.

Lovely that it is open source, but dear lord that UI is a blast from the past 😂😂 👴👵🏚️

I don’t quite understand why you are dismissing this person’s concerns like this. The codes are available for a very short period so there is a chance that if there is a WiFi or other network outage they genuinely could not get to the code.

Because this isn’t the case. They’re pretending that they can only get a code when they land in the UK and there’s a very real risk that they will be without internet when they’ve reached the immigration desk. This is BS.

The code is valid for 30-90 days. You’re telling me that within 30-90 days of travelling to the UK you can’t generate a code and save it or write it down? Seriously?

Here’s some googling you might not have done (or OP for that matter).

And it’s not like they are complicated codes that is difficult to write down. They look similar to this: S4WADTYWF.

I agree that it is hard to put faith in a system like this where your immigration status relies on the availability of a network

When faced with new facts would you change your mind? I didn’t think so.

Seems to me that they’re are easy solutions to your scenarios.

Ask to use their WiFi that isn’t overloaded. Get a working SIM before you travel (eSim perhaps?). Download the one time code and screenshot it. If it’s a code like the DVLA driver license check then it doesn’t matter how you’ve saved it. Only that the code is valid when they enter it. Write it down on a piece of paper if you have to.

Ultimately it’s on you to understand the requirements to travel to any country you visit and have the correct paperwork. And if you can’t do that… well 🤦‍♂️.

If border control pulls me aside and demands my proof of residency, and I can’t access the internet, I may be stuck in a small room for hours or days,

How likely are you to not be able to access the internet at a UK border you might be traveling through? Seriously.

Also, have you heard of a download for offline usage?

Didn’t see this coming. Thanks for reporting it 😁

Wasn’t it a case of them ordering Elon to comply with the law, he played silly buggers with them by meming a response, so they started to take his assets away and he was like… wait no shocked Pikachu I will comply.

Surprised that Ireland isn’t on this list. Surely they need loads of data centres for all the US companies they shield from taxes 😉.

You can use OpenOffice which hasn’t adopted any new UI since 1998.

Maybe stop funding them with US tax dollars?

Do you work somewhere where you can escape for an hour over lunch, perhaps? Like go to the gym or something? Out of sight out of mind.

I totally get the feeling of being mobbed, but to be honest find a way to cope with it at work. A lot of work places are by definition social places so it’s going to be really hard avoiding interactions all the time. Maybe go for a walk with a podcast or something?

Good luck 🤞.

Imagine if the EU fined Ireland like it fines US mega corporations when they’ve been deemed to break the law. 4% of global turnover for GDPR breaches for example. If the EU wants to take tax avoidance seriously it would fine Ireland 4% of their GDP until they shut these schemes down.

But it doesn’t. This is simply a charade.

King Cobra JFS?
