I used Vector Linux 3.2, which was Slackware based, mostly because it was a small(ish) download on my friend’s Cable internet connection. Shortly after I moved to real Slackware. This was probably 2003/4

In the UK we have this thing called a Post Code. And unlike some other areas of the world (looking at you, US Zip Codes) this is quite specific in that it only refers to maybe a maximum of 20 addresses (for my street it is five, and I live in a city); you can send a letter / route to somewhere usually with just a door number and post code.
So many services and apps want the first line of the address now, and then give you a list of addresses to choose from, many of which have the same street name and don’t show the post code clearly, if at all.
This is a solved problem, and it used to be fine. Why are they making it worse? 🙄
But they already have parcel postboxes, and whilst there’s no “check in” of parcels on those, as soon as everything is collected it’s scanned so I feel that’s fine?
I’m selling these fine leather jackets…
I would have suggested Farnell but apparently they got bought out by an American company in 2016.
In the UK we have “JRC Global Buffet” which is almost exactly what you describe. It’s…not great. I went because, like you, some friends were particularly enamoured with the place for some reason.
I wasn’t a fan.
And generated a fuck tonne of UV, so….don’t look at it with your remaining eye.
Garmin watches come close?
These really annoy me. I used to spend a lot of time in Sweden so I tried pretty hard to get an account set up to let me pay by swish. I gave up. If you’re not a resident you can’t get a person number so you can’t get a bank ID so you can’t use swish.
What is frustrating is that lots of places I went required swish and wouldn’t take cash or card, so I ended up having to get other people to pay for me.
I bet many other systems in other countries are similar
Phoenix Wright?
