  • I work on the apple ecosystem too, but it came from my tests of making an hackinstosh on an old Lenovo.

    It then discovered that I could use the same tools with the same shell language, doing the same tiling WM etc etc, all of that on an always working OS that I didn’t need to debug when shit got wrong (I was using Arch, BTW).

    From then on I always work on 2nd hand refurbished macs. My daily desk tool in an m2 Mac mini and this thing is amazing. Linux is now only present on my server and gaming PC.

    But maps are on organic maps, not apple 😉


  • FFS, today when you look for something on start page or any search engine you get YouTube links or AI shit from non related websites.

    • Video game solution? Check my 30 min video.
    • Tech problems? YouTube and AI telling you to update drivers and reboot, on a website named sport-something.
    • Error 26894? Fucking YouTube video again (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

    At the time you could put Reddit on your search but we all know that won’t be a solution anymore, plus, because of people like me most of Reddit results are now a chain of deleted - deleted - deleted messages 😄



  • I really like the “thermal runaway thing” expression, and yeah it is a false equivalency but it’s a funny one.

    EV charging and the tech around it can be slow today, but it doesn’t mean we should abandon and go back to what we know is working (as some people want to). This is a recipe for zero innovation and not the way to become a Star Trek like civilization.

    In my city there are electric buses that charge in a few seconds at some stops along the route. No overhead wires, no big diesel engines and no noise.

    We just need to work and improve those new vehicles, find better than the actual EV and combustion engines as well.








  • We have (or had?) a bad English cursus at school, I don’t know if that changed as I have not be at school in a while.

    A somewhat strong culture with enough to read, listen and watch 100% French content in a lifetime, so that doesn’t help. And a few remains of rebellion that does not help as well.

    I believe the French dubbing industry is also known for its quality with plenty of talented voice actors. But I heard this from others, I usually consume cinema or tv in the original language.

    You are right that it clearly does not help. I am always annoyed when I see a French speaker crying over Steam forums that x video game does not have a French traduction, just play it in English duh.

    Anyway, we have a perfect dumb science excuse that we love: We cannot speak good English because of our native language frequency. That’s it, we can’t do shit about it, c’est la vie 🤷🏻‍♂️





  • Nope nothing about race, the name was just an answer to blackpeopletwitter, which is the same idea. Posting screenshots of funny tweets.

    There’s one here on lemmy [email protected]

    From what I’ve read the sub got ban after mods took time to delete violent comments about DOGE employees. Their names got leaked, peoples started to say dumb shit, often violent. Musk threw a fit about it and Reddit banned the sub.

    Making death threats is obviously a good reason for a ban but apparently the reason Reddit gave (unmoderated sub) was false as there’s screenshots of the post being actively moderated with plenty of deleted messages. But it’s those kind of posts with 18k comments so I guess it was moving too fast for the moderator team.

    I might be wrong, I just read about that from the r/france post our refugees came from. I did not explored in detail as it’s on Reddit and I just don’t care 🤷🏻‍♂️
