Yeah, I think these stats are bs, some people are also debunking the taco bit.

According to Wikipedia, France is about 40% of the European market and I don't think Japanese read much western comics, so I don't think that's what we talk about.

In my perception this French anomaly comes from two factors :

1. There was a French TV segment in the 90s called "club Dorothé" that imported a lot of Japanese animation, initially because it was cheaper that producing or importing other TV shows. This got a whole generation addicted to mangas and now it's just part of culture.
2. There is an actual cultural proximity between France and Japan, the most obvious part being the obsession about food.

Although shaming newcomers for their distro choice is not a welcoming move 💢

Could it mean Steam Deck 2 already? 🤞

I don't believe it either, I think they said it wouldn't arrive before 2025 :/

But I want it soooo much, the OLED version looks awesome but it's no an upgrade big enough to justify getting rid of my original version

And they increase roughly at the pace it should be decreasing 😰

I'm not sure scams are so subtle. For example fishing emails are often so obviously scam that people think there are designed to filter very gullible people or very unlucky persons who actually waited for a call with the exact same context as the scammer will give.

Well, when good documentation is available it isn't necessary but good documentation is not always available. And it can still be helpful with niche issues 🤷

Although it depends of the backup format :

• If you store compressed tarballs they won't be of any benefits.
• If you copy whole directory as is, the filesystem-level compression and ability to deduplicate data (eg. with duperemove) are likely to save A LOT of storage (I'd bet on a 3 times reduction).

Same here, most delivery service will not even bother performing the delivery about 30% of the time and just leave it in a relay or post office. Last time the logs showed they ensured I wasn't home in the minute they left the dispatch center 🤡

On Firefox I think you have to right click on the address bar while the website is open to register a new search engine?

Didn't GNOME support Wayland way earlier than KDE ?

As I wasn't using my desktop much I sold it and the deck's desktop mode is my main computer now. In that perspective I really prefer bazzite's gnome and more permissive package management.

"Import" does appear on the roadmap for this month, we probably can't know what's the scope fr that but you'llhave your answer soon :p

That's what saved me too but I'm still stuck with unpredictable crashes, 150GB of HDD / 8GB of RAM lost in the void and bullshit ads for copilot in the lock screen ...

Thanks for the background, as a very recent nix adopter this drama seems like a lot 😥

My only criteria when switching email was to be able to use my own domain name. Now I almost don’t receive anything on my gmail and I can transparently switch provider. I think it was a relevant move, I won’t move to self hosting but I could ! :)

But on Linux aren’t most drivers part of the kernel?

I’ve always conjectured that good Makefiles existed but never seen one (or only for tiny projects). The core semantic of Makefiles is clear and straight to the point, I think the issue is in all the magic that was added to that to spare a few lines.

And it’s not only about user data, it would also expose the website to content spoofing in public wifi, which would for example allow the attacker to inject fishing content in the website.

SSL encrypts the data you’re sending but it also ensures that you’re communicating only with who you think you are. Without SSL you can’t be confident about any of that.

That’s still my point, for example you could inject your own login system “create an account to keep track of your favorite artists, or some new shiny feature”. For there you can get people’s personal information, potentially a password they use on other services.

An URL is something the general public will trust, if the content can be messed with you repurpose the website’s reputation. I took phishing as an example but even my not-so-creative and non-expert brain can think of other things : asking for donations, propaganda, advertising, censorship, …

While I agree the issue you raise does make sense in some situations, it derivates from the initial concern : if you don’t want your domain listed in a DNS record you certainly don’t want it to be indexed by a search engine :p

As some others mentioned it depends on context. My project managers do a lot of shit I don’t want to do : handling budgets, discussing project scope with clients, handling authorization request to external APIs (I’m in a big company) and also most PO stuff (writing tickets and handling sprint ceremonies).

Sometime they are a bit annoying because they freak out about deadlines and ask question every 10min while you try to focus and actually solve the bug, but at least they are self aware that it is because they feel helpless in this kind of situation 😛

Also, more about the proxy thing, sometime I have to explain technical things that simplifies and then they will probably explain it again to clients with a second layer of simplification. But I usually never hear about this again, which probably means that they manage to reassure client and maybe add a bit of bullshit on parts that don’t really mater, which spares me a lot of time overall.

I see a lot of people saying that your managers are bad managers, but I think your organization also put them in a badly defined role.

The thought that internet becomes shitty enough that you need a GPU to browse it is really frightening me. If we really reach that point that may be to run an AI which filters out AI generated spam which would really depress me 😭

Have you given a try to Organic Maps ? It is more friendly than OSMAnd Although, it still lacks a better search bar I think.

Bogasse , 1 month ago

Yeah, people who built those modern technologies are mostly over 50, I suppose.

Most search engines are just bing. Search engines are roughly in the same state of non-diversity as web browsers :/

I haven’t use Rust for a while but I think this Mutex::clear_poison was particularly missing :D

On a lighter note, the protocol might be proprietary but the bridge still seems to be fully open source : github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge

I don’t think think Proton shows bad will on this one. The only alternative I can think of (as a non expert) would be IMAP + GPG encrypted emails but very few desktop clients support GPG, which would make them less accessible 🤷‍♂️ Having their own protocol also probably makes it much much easier for them to iterate on it, opening up usually makes think much robust but also slower.

Yeah, the fact that AI progress just relies on “we will make so much money that no lawsuit will consequently alter our growth” is really infuriating. The fact that general audience apparently doesn’t care is even more infuriating.

And on the other hand it is a very obvious question to expect. If you have something hide how on the world are you not prepared for this question !? 🤡

Tbh I am not surprised there are people who don’t know what cut is. When I was in school a lot of people around me though it was just the graphical button to delete things. I think UI tried to solve the problem since them : cutting won’t delete a file but will just shade it, which makes it more obvious that you should do another action.

I think that’s one thing about open source project : a lot of people work for free so they invest time on what they want and like. I don’t know if it’s what happens here, but I think in general it is not fair to ask for an optimal time management in open source communities.

And AI is a buzzword that englobes a variety statistical tools. Articles write AI to evoke generative tools in people minds, but very specialized tools are at work here.

It’s a stay-in-the-competition one. While I would love to see a ground breaking change soon, Mozilla surely can’t do that in every update.

Yeah, I don’t understand how you could make installing vim simpler than pacman -S vim? Is it about “-S” being less obvious than “install”?

Well, “YOUR CODE IS GARBAGE” seems like flaming.

You, send the same message without this and it achieves exactly the same thing without the “taking it all out on someone” part 🤷

I agree : CI is required as a safety belt and then contributers can choose the workflow they prefer : format on save, manual invoke, precommit, …

To be honest I think it’s better they don’t sync these kind of things that are “hacky”. Someone who breaks his Firefox and don’t remember how should be able to make a fresh install to fix everything.
