You can replace xcancel.com by nitter.net, it worked for me. Like this: https://nitter.net/MaximeRivest/status/2073544461473169432 Both are running the same software but I guess th…

This reminds me of the story of the "Feather" project at YouTube where they improved a lot the page weight and the average page latency went higher just because they were actually …

The ISP named Free in France also did this a while ago. It was fairly well implemented I think: separated from your network, bandwidth was limited (to avoid impacting the host), yo…

It comes from the GitHub repo description. There is a typo though but this is maybe intentional as the name of the repo is librepods

A bit late to the party but there is a famous French internet show called "Faux-raccord" which does exactly what this article does: every episode is focused on mistakes for some mo…

At which point does a monopoly becomes a monopoly? There is no need to have a "clear" monopoly like Windows in 1990's to abuse your power and presence in the market.

I don't if the remake will come at some point but in the mean time, you can enjoy this online port by fans: https://game.chronodivide.com/ You can play Red Alert 2 in the browser, …

Biometric or password is necessary for every access (which may be an inconvenience for some). Basically, the addon communicates with a native application on the OS (the iCloud appl…

The application seems to be back in the Play Store. It is a shame that Google can pull these kinds of behaviour without any repercussion...

This is very impressive but I think Short-Stack [1] is a more impressive project because it is a fully fonctionnal Wii (as in, it works on its own as you would expect from a regula…

The free version does too. The paid version only adds cosmetics, last time I checked.

The implicit line here is that if there is peace, then there is military security. And the EU has been pretty good at providing that within its borders (compared to the history of …

Those looking into the history or the user agent, and why it happens to advertise itself as Firefox, Safari and Chrome ate the same time, can look into this article: https://webaim…

The min-sized-rust project [1], which you may already be aware of, has a lot of optimisations to decrease the size of a Rust binay. I think with all the optimisations, at the end, …

This reminds me of a similar story with YouTube [1] where improving the page weight decreased the metrics because more people with lower end connections could access the page. Metr…

I think this already exists for issues. git-bug [1] uses git internal files to store the issues. It is distributed and it even comes with a web ui in addition to the usual cli. [1]…

This approach to programming is not all new to me (I studied Prolog at university which looks very similar but does not have the planner feature) but the planner is a very elegant …

This is impressive and actually looks like a real movie scene. And to think this only fits in 256 bytes makes you rethink how bloated the things we are using everyday are and also …

Changing the search engine in Safari is limited to a very specific list though. Using Kagi as a search engine in Safari requires using an extension that intercept search engines qu…

Fairly good article as to why removing time zones is a bad idea: https://qntm.org/abolish (The article is still relevant with metric time/weeks)

Not exactly the same thing but this website is basically Red Alert 2 in the web with multiplayer support: https://chronodivide.com/

I am not 100% sure but Firefox VPN is an actual VPN based on mullvad. On the main product page[1], it says it is built with Wireguard which is a VPN software. [1]: https://www.mozi…
