I had to pay more than double for a place that's less convenient.
I haven't seen my money return.

The entire "gig economy" is morally corrupt and you shouldn't be using any of it.

Maybe I can't read as well as I thought, but I think he means the Gig Economy in terms of Airbnb, Uber, Airtasker, Deliveroo....
Companies that pay the workers elephant all and are just shite overall. Not your right to work as a contractor as you see fit.

You could be right.
I assumed it was a reference to the short-term-contract thing, which is kinda my livelihood.

That's exactly what I mean, I thought it was pretty obvious. It's not just that they're treating their workers poorly, it's that it is taking business away from more professional enterprises and offering a poorer service in return but as many people only care about the price they're willing to ignore all of the negatives just so save a few bucks.

So the EU is into this big privacy frenzy (as in GDPR) and yet they allow you to be asked to hand over extremely sensitive documents?
The only rational that makes this acceptable (in the EU) is that it's not a US owned company demanding a violation of your privacy and identity - so it's basically OK.

The nasty part is that they are forcing users to hand over private/confidential/sensitive information, or their bookings are cancelled.
I've been on to "my pal at the Ministry", and a file on their behaviour has been opened.
I was already in the sh1ttiest of moods, so they really picked the wrong day.

Airbnb article: How does it work when Airbnb asks for an ID?
https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1237/how-does-it-work-when-airbnb-asks-for-an-id[^]
They explain, why they may do this: Some hosts require their guests to provide a government ID in order to book their place or experience.
On the other hand: The photo of your ID will never be shared with your host.
It doesn't make sense together (at least, for me).
And finally: You can, however, remove the photo of your ID 90 days after you complete your most recent booking. Well, at least this.
I have read the whole article and I really don't like what I see.

The number of times they used the phrase "community of trust" in their e-mails demanding my passport was enough for me to have sincere doubts about their honesty.
Reading their verbiage was more horrifying than reassuring.

IDE of the Year - Visual Studio Code (19.08%)
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

It's coming along but not sure about the IDE of the year?

Small poll, many choices including Eclipse and EMACS.
Nice site you have, I just set a Pi 3 up as a router/VPN to put a surveillance camera on line for testing.

I just use the VS 2017 editor, it has everything I need for coding. For other stuff I use Notepad++, it's good for a liteweight editor.
I do use Visual Studio Code but I find it confusing and frustd up reverting back to VS.
Thanks for the kind words, am still working on it but I like what I have so far.
Pi's are amazing devices...hope to see an article spun out of yuour experiences setting up the Pi.

Ah as the title suggests...blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.
ABout the only development I do on Linux is for the Pi and for that I just use the editor that comes with it. I have used Eclipsr on the PC linked to the Pi and this works fairly well.

it is a pity though, vs and n++ are both tools beyond compare on linux (and really I reckon windows too.)
Looking at some day soon (hah!) some c# (.Net core) dev in linux, my thinking is to run vs2017 in a virtual machine on a shared drive - when ready to finalize switch back to linux, make the final tweaks and recompile it there. Yeah I know the vs compiled code is portable, but I'll be tying in some native code and possibly even a more linux-native gui.
vs code is actually quite capable but only works 1 project at a time, I miss the full-vs solutions, it's way better intellisense and debugging.

It depends what you're wanting to do. For regular .NET development I would use VS. For playing around with Go or Solidity I use VS Code. But as I've not yet used it really heavily there's a bit of a learning curve, especially as it regularly adds features.
I also use Notepad++ but not for actual programming, just for quick viewing of code and programming-related tasks.
(Notepad++ is Windows of course.)

actually I tried it, didn't like it,
tried some others (eclipse, code:blocks, codelite...) and liked those even less.
Anyway vs code: I'd not go so far to say it's the best, rather the "least worst."
... perhaps too harsh, gonna move up a notch to "most alright."
I'm pretty confident it will improve though, it'll never be visual studio but it'll sure pick up more of the vs-like capabilities.
worth learning: definitely.
I mean typical linux down at dev level it's all about the little 'quirks' - gotta find those bit's 'n pieces that make it possible to get stuff done ... (but unlike winduds once you get it set the way you want there's no fear the next "update" will break your settings or something you rely on will cease to exist.)
general non coding linux text editor: notepadqq (good notepad++ workalike - no extensions though)
remember: if you're moving around linux sites still absolutely required to have basic vi knowledge - even though [including vim] it's still a sick piece of crap, but it's always there.
