IlikeMadison··on Stockholm poised to become leading European geospatial intel player
Sweden relies on foreign technology for this (US), compared to France and Germany. They also depend on the ESA/France to put these satellites into orbit. That's not what I would call a leader player.
IlikeMadison··on Why the US Navy won't blast the Iranians and 'open' Strait of Hormuz
Germany has 80+ mil inhabitants. Also 90,000,000 people doesn't mean 90,000,000 soldiers, especially when a large part of them hate their own regime.

IlikeMadison··on Windows native app development is a mess
Electron is the worst thing that happened to quality software. I spoke to two HR guys last year at the company I'm working at and they told me they ditch every single resume mentioning "web technologies" in them. Funny part is when they also told me these "bad" resumes are for the vast majority H1B wannabees.
IlikeMadison··on Launch HN: RunAnywhere (YC W26) – Faster AI Inference on Apple Silicon
You just got your real names flagged and blacklisted on this other website that provide HR and VC partnerships. I'm not sure what you did exactly but your company and people associated with it seem really shady.
IlikeMadison··on More Mac malware from Google search
Gentoo?
IlikeMadison··on France's homegrown open source online office suite
Python and TypeScript... hard pass. Mediocre software made by mediocre web developers. Imagine a car manufacturer using wood instead of steel because they can only afford to pay cheap lumberjacks.
IlikeMadison··on House of Lords Votes to Ban UK Children from Using Internet VPNs
China, Iran, UK. same stuff, different names.
IlikeMadison··on Cyberattack in Venezuela demonstrated precision of U.S. capabilities
You need to give some details and arguments on your extraordinary claim because what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
IlikeMadison··on Iran's internet shutdown is chillingly precise and may last some time
also mesh networks
IlikeMadison··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
> Bush assembled a serious international coalition before going for Iraq

Uh? Bush failed to assemble a coalition by providing dubious and faked proofs of supposed WMDs and chemical weapons. The Europeans and especially the French didn't fall for it. The only one who did was Tony Blair and he's still paying the price both domestically in the UK and abroad. AFAIK, Trump isn't planning to send troops in Venezuela on the scale Bush did in Iraq.

IlikeMadison··on Nicolas Guillou, French ICC judge sanctioned by the US and “debanked”
Except Netanyahu and Galland are not US citizens. Therefore why is the US so involved in?
IlikeMadison··on Fabrice Bellard Releases MicroQuickJS
Bellard it the most genius programmer to ever exist, and the least known compared to other pseudo stars.
IlikeMadison··on I got hacked: My Hetzner server started mining Monero
I don't think using key-based authentication for SSH and enabling Fail2ban is necessary. Fail2ban is only useful if you keep password authentication. But I might be wrong.
IlikeMadison··on Porn company fined £1M over inadequate age checks (UK)
Do you really believe Ofcom and the UK establishment in general really care about the children or terrorists when they are pushing for mandatory digital ID and age-verification in every aspect of our digital lives or are you playing naive?
IlikeMadison··on Porn company fined £1M over inadequate age checks (UK)
They can fine all they want, if the company doesn't have any entity in said territory they can just ignore it. What Ofcom succeeded to achieve though is to deter more and more foreign IT companies to ever expand and create jobs in the UK.
IlikeMadison··on Why Is ChatGPT for Mac So Good?
Native apps are much better for everybody except for the lazy and unskilled developer who prefer to use Electron.
IlikeMadison··on Bitchat for Gaza – messaging without internet
What about the Trans-Saharan slave trade, Red Sea slave trade and Indian Ocean slave trade operated by Arab Muslims and lasting over 1300 years? Why are Arab countries not criticizing Israel as much as European ones? How come there have been no massive public demonstration in support of Palestine anywhere else than the West in general? Where are the Arab countries when the EU denounced and recognized the genocide of Uyghurs in China?

Just look at yourself in the mirror and come back commenting.

IlikeMadison··on How I use every Claude Code feature
Enshittification needs its Moore's law.
IlikeMadison··on Ripgrep 15.0
That's what I call quality software.
IlikeMadison··on Tahoe's Elephant
I will go even further. It's Alan Dye and below him an army of H1Bs from South Asia, as seen in the promotional videos.
IlikeMadison··on European.cloud: A Curated Directory of EU-Based Cloud Providers
OVH is far bigger than Hetzner.
IlikeMadison··on How to turn liquid glass into a solid interface
What a nightmare Apple UI/UX design has become. Are they hiring real bad people now?
IlikeMadison··on Electron-based apps cause system-wide lag on macOS 26 Tahoe
>Developer eXperience

if all you can create are electron apps then you are not a developer.

>cross platform

many programs are cross platform, without the need of Electron.

>open standards

???

>easy compatibility with websites

Electron isn't necessary, e.g. Telegram.

>easiness to keep updated

not Electron exclusive

Electron exists for lazy "programmers" to make their products as fast as possible, without caring for code quality and their customers experience. This is why managers love it, it saves money: you don't need to hire proper software engineers nor allocate an appropriate amount of time to develop and maintain your product.

Electron is part of the enshitification of the web and the IT in general.

IlikeMadison··on Denmark wants to push through Chat Control
>Now Paris “on the whole” agrees with the draft. France welcomes both mandatory chat control and client-side scanning.

A few months ago, a broad security law was passed by the National Assembly in France. Initially, this law contained provisions, including the scanning of private messages, which were removed from the main text by a large majority of lawmakers, as it was deemed too intrusive.

The few officials (including Macron) who now claim that "France is OK with chat control" represent a minority that currently holds power in a country whose government was ousted less than two weeks ago.

Crooks.

IlikeMadison··on Teen suspect surrenders in 2023 Las Vegas casino cyberattack case
What always interests me in these type of cases is how do hackers get identified? Aren't they savvy enough to use some sort of proxies to cover their tracks?
IlikeMadison··on Vapor chamber tech keeps iPhone 17 Pro cool
Wrong. The vast majority of Apple fans don't care about Android. I never see "Apple fans" going in threads about random Android stuff and talking about it. On the opposite, I see a lot of Android users complain and talk in every single videos regarding anything Apple on YouTube.
IlikeMadison··on ESA report shows unsustainable levels of orbital debris
If ESA is "lacking innovation" I wonder what your favorite space agency innovated compared to them in the past decade. But yes, let's keep polluting more and more the low-Earth orbit to make sure we cannot send any more satellites ever again! You are lacking intelligence.
IlikeMadison··on A Brazilian special-forces unit fighting to save the Amazon
The French do the same against illegal gold miners in French Guiana Amazon. They have approximately 1,000 soldiers compared to up to 9,000 illegal prospectors. I can't imagine how a single unit will be capable to curb anything when you look at the size of Brazil's Amazon.
