aucisson_masque··on Fire at Starlink site in Bulgaria after suspected sabotage in Poland
Bulgaria government is responsible for the security of private infrastructure.
aucisson_masque··on Steam Client is now faster than Epic's new vibe coded launcher
> No User-written text reviews

Everything you don’t like, you can avoid.

aucisson_masque··on Steam Client is now faster than Epic's new vibe coded launcher
> No Discussion forums and community hubs

> No User-written text reviews

> No Community-created guides and walkthroughs

>No Screenshot, clip, and artwork sharing

I can’t believe they don’t have the resource to bring these features to their launcher, they actively refuse to make it a tool for communities.

It must be a way to buy game and launch them, that’s all. Don’t talk, don’t give your opinion on the game, don’t help others in forums,..

I managed to stay away from epic even when they locked games from steam, glad I did. It’s embarrassing.

aucisson_masque··on Fire at Starlink site in Bulgaria after suspected sabotage in Poland
> It is not absurd at all. You can't arrest somebody for a sabotage without letting him to execute the deed. Because if he won't execute there's nothing to arrest him for...

You can very well arrest someone for the intention of sabotaging.

aucisson_masque··on Thunderbird for iOS
> $99.99 for a lifetime license

Yeah, just a small hiccup. I can buy a whole phone with a hundred dollars.

aucisson_masque··on Thunderbird for iOS
K9 and Thunderbird on Android suck. The ui is clunky but worst of all, the search is bad. Very bad.

If you don’t do anything special, that will be enough but for everyone else that won’t do it.

If I type ‘repor’ in Apple mail, It will show me all report before I even type enter. And if there is too much, I will then add ‘2026’ for instance.

On k9, first you got to type the entire word because it won’t progressively search as you type, but then you press enter and see hundreds of mail so you want to add 2026 ? Too bad. Got to type report once again followed by 2026. Made a typo mistake ? Got to rewrite it all over again.

This is just bad.

And I’m not trying to diminish the work done by Thunderbirds/k9 developer, it’s just that it’s done by unpaid developers and it shows. Things move slowly and just suck at using.

aucisson_masque··on Citroen revives the 2CV for an electric age
Everyone love it, I just want to remind people it’s a concept car !!!

Design of the actual car that will go on production is not even done.

We have seen hundreds of nice concept car that lead to nothing or disaster.

Also the 2cv was great because it was cheap, reliable and easy to repair. Good luck with these electric car, it certainly won’t be ‘farmer favorite’.

aucisson_masque··on How Protein Took over the World
I drink soy isolate protein, no flavor, every day and it tastes ok. Not incredible, just as completely as whey isolate.
aucisson_masque··on Show HN: BetterWispr – Free, open-source dictation for Mac
How does it compare to handy ?
aucisson_masque··on LineageOS 24.0
I wouldn’t want to run Linux or windows on my phone lol.
aucisson_masque··on How Protein Took over the World
Why they all using whey when you got soy, pea and other much cheaper protein ?

Whey got to be the most expensive, especially isolate.

aucisson_masque··on Telegram Desktop vulnerability allowed any user's file to be stolen
macOS does it pretty well, right ?
aucisson_masque··on Yes, and
Vibe coding has always existed,

it wasn’t written by llm, it was called spaghetti coding, permanent “hot” fixes, absence of commenting, etc…

developers already provided quick programs that were riddled with bugs and insecurities, and guess what, companies didn’t care because you earn more money by outputting lot of shit than one polished diamond.

aucisson_masque··on Anti-patterns in software blogging
Very interesting read.

It’s the same problem as you get in open source with talented developers coding applications but then having no idea how an user interface works.

The material is good but if the way they share it (user interface) to other is abysmal then the whole also become abysmal.

Keep things simple, straight to the point and don’t assume the user has nearly as much knowledge as you have.

aucisson_masque··on Penguin Mail – open-source Rust email client for Linux with AI
They all look and behave better than the old known Linux mail clients.

Linux really need applications more polished, that’s what they are bringing to the table.

aucisson_masque··on Our approach to EU text provenance rules
There are YouTube videos embedded in some eu pages.
aucisson_masque··on Our approach to EU text provenance rules
I don’t see how you could implement individual fingerprinting for millions of users, and then make it recognizable. The added processing cost would be insane.

Beside there is nothing in eu réglementation suggesting that.

aucisson_masque··on Our approach to EU text provenance rules
Beside the added comments, why does it matter that everyone know you used ai to write your code ? You’re not ashamed of that, so let everyone know.
aucisson_masque··on So you think you could be an electrician?
Yes.

And the skill you learn, you can use it to build your own house and save money.

White collars usually aren’t that good at manual work, at least not to professional levels.

aucisson_masque··on An Update on Orion for Linux and Windows
They never made the rendering engine. It’s open source.

I don’t see any more difficulty between being a chromium browser or being a WebKit browser.

aucisson_masque··on An Update on Orion for Linux and Windows
I found the move to release Orion on Linux and windows weird.

If you were Google and you wanted to spread your search engine to the world, it would be fine but such a small company. And the market share would still have been abysmal on the platforms.

Great thing that they release it before abandoning it, truely a great move !

And hopefully they keep making it better on macOS and iOS.

aucisson_masque··on On social reality in China
I can’t take seriously expatriates speaking for a country they don’t live in. It’s not specific to author, just a general rule.
aucisson_masque··on GrapheneOS – When an app is slow
That’s not the trend I’m seeing with my pixel 9. More and more apps require it.

You just need one app, that you really like and that doesn’t run on grapheneos to make a user leave.

aucisson_masque··on GrapheneOS – When an app is slow
Before looking at how an app run “performance wise”, you got to be able to run it. That’s my point.

Basic play integrity doesn’t mean much, more and more applications are requiring full play service integrity.

aucisson_masque··on PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock
That’s freedom, if you make it freely accessible I can take it however I want.

There are platforms for paid content, YouTube was never made for it. It’s an afterthought.

aucisson_masque··on PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock
You’re free to put ads and I’m free to not watch them. What the issue ?
aucisson_masque··on Letterboxd Is Up for Sale, and A24, Sony and the New York Times Are Bidding
> Same goes for amazon buying imdb and they've already used that to adjust scores for at least one film they released

Any source on that ? I found nothing serious, just reddit and Facebook post. No one serious is reporting on it.

aucisson_masque··on Meta VR Glasses
For money. There is barely any competition yet.
aucisson_masque··on Meta VR Glasses
When you buy an iPhone that was made in sweatshop, you contribute to it. There are alternatives but most people really don’t mind having slave labor build their iPhone.

Same for kids wasting their life on screen, most parents don’t mind as long as it keep them busy and it’s one less thing to care about.

aucisson_masque··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
There is too many money involved, benchmark can’t be trusted.
