Is it normal that it takes so long to go from Received to Accepted?

I thought emojis definition is that it's supported by major browsers/phones/etc.

I've tried this with a hotel in Italy, and found out that the price was actually higher. I couldn't believe it. I actually asked the reception whether they were really sure. Yes, this is our price, they said.

That's because the terms of use of bookings.com insist that you can't offer a price lower than on booking.com.

I don't even if this is legal in your country, but in Germany they ruled against it: https://www.thelocal.de/20210518/germany-upholds-ban-on-book...

Moved to Debian a while ago because of the mess with Unity and snaps, etc…

A shame, since ubuntu got me into linux desktop back then, but in the end they keep screwing things up needlessly.

Bellamy · 3 years ago
I didn't, but my next OS won't be Ubuntu for the same reasons.

Also they'll fine you $2000 for "misinformation" on any platform. They snuck it back in very sneakily after the outcry when it was announced.
Bellamy · 3 years ago
That's why I deleted my account and won't use PayPal again.

We use Hetzner but I also had good experience with Scaleway (another French cloud provider).

I so understand why anybody would use Microsoft products anymore. You can do all that and more with Linux and SaaS products that works in browser.
