> War is the only thing that's left I think I would have agreed until the Iran war, the US used up so much of the missile stock that even the army isn't fully intact anymore

It's even worse than that, I sometimes get calls from phone prefixes which do not even exist in the world. They don't even check that the number can exist.

> It reminds me of those taxes on CD-R disks to support "Art associations" that were proposed before. They're not just proposed, they are implemented in a lot of countries and Fran…

They all do that, when OpenAI reached a licensing deal with Reddit, it's to prevent less financially capable competitors to enter the market. (And I'm not saying that's right eithe…

If you doubt that you have gained something as high as 20% gains, it probably just means you got nothing. And also, individual productivity isn't the same as organisation productiv…

These are enough gains that you don't need to believe, they should be measurable

Maintenance over time is 90% of the work anyways, you don't start a project from scratch every day

> You misunderstood my comment.. this level of "support" is based on hacks = volunteer work, where the community working together (for free) is able to support one device "almost" …

They had to put so much work to make it run on actual phones that each project is kind of it's own thing.

Well AOSP doesn't run on a single phone on earth (not even the emulator) so you also have to take into account the reality of what Android is on the ground. AOSP doesn't even inclu…

I'd say the OnePlus 6 is fully supported so it's one device at least (the stuff that isn't on it is minor). Mainlining is very hard though so the results are expected

> So as well as being annoying at the moment of seeing them, ads in the AppStore are directly contributing to the general enshitification of apps. You can even cut the word "apps" …

> Steam games from 2009 run just fine. I'd say somewhat fine depending on the title, they broke a lot of backward compatibility recently > You can buy Okta, Zoom, Slack, Gsuite, an…

"cut compensation payments for electricity", that's called set electricity prices, the state is buying higher than the market And by the way, France also only has set electricity p…

They absolutely do, they are debating to remove it or not at the moment. https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/government-agrees-phase...

Well no it isn't, this problem is so small that it's not even worth installing any additional cooling method. It's also the lowest consumption period of the year, making the proble…

> the economics of nuclear power, which is already it's primary weakness. That affects ~0.5% of the yearly production in France, it's not a "primary weakness", it's the opposite, i…

> Every single nuclear watt is being subsidised and has been for decades. You won't find any grid which isn't subsidized, remember Germany already spent ~2x the French grid and tha…

What do I expect? Mandating open bootloaders by law, banning device attestation and applying existing antitrust legislation. Then if they could give a few millions to some open sou…

> it is virtually impossible for Europe to even begin to displace Apple or Google devices It's hard for sure but they are not even trying, the non-duopoly alternatives are run by h…

Because tap to pay has nothing to do with Google? Some people just want a phone without the duopoly and nothing else.

> The test is simple: have we seen great new products or improvements in the products we use over the past 12,24,36 months? I'd say it only became viable end of last year but yes, …

I got an account warning on OpenAI (waved after I complained) just because I was asking it how to root some >10 years old Android device.

> they will likely hit net zero in the next decade at current deployment rates of renewables and batteries. X to doubt, I'll believe it when I see it, for now they are like a galax…

Have you even onboarded somebody at work? There's a big difference between the newcomer and the dev who's been there for 5 years, even at the same seniority level on paper. And tha…
