bestouff··on The Hackintosh Reborn
No that's not a "best CPU". Arm Macs are the ones with the best CPUs, by far.

All of GP's names are French
bestouff··on The Megadonors Who Have Poured $1.2B into the Midterms

bestouff··on When electric cars were for women
My EV is less powerful than my former ICE but way more fun to drive, especially in the mountain area I live in.
bestouff··on Rising rates of colorectal cancer found in nearly all age groups
Here in France it's a bit different : everyone aged 50 or more is tested (blood in fecal matter) every 2 years. If the result is positive then it's colonoscopy. All this is paid by the Sécurité Sociale of course. I'm in between these 2 kinds of tests and currently crossing fingers.
bestouff··on Ten days later, Git on macOS still trusts the compromised eMudhra certificates
Some depending on the executable, sometimes it goes through /etc/ssl/cert.pem and sometimes through the Apple framework. This OS is a mess.
bestouff··on Meta Employees Denounce Interference in Brazilian Elections
That's true, but I think it's much more effective for them to protest than just leave. And personally I prefer there's more decent employees at Meta.
bestouff··on If AI displaces human workers, they will lose more than just pay
The people who vote for the great "Make X Great Again" candidates don't protest.
bestouff··on The result of the C++26 DIS ballot
Sure, but even then each org agrees on a different C++ subset. So each time you switch project you have to learn again.

And then there's the constant fear of UB, which the compiler doesn't tell you about. This language became too painful for me at least a decade ago.

bestouff··on XPS 16 Creator Edition Laptop
Mandatory Windows.

Pass.

So for example "4" would work ?
bestouff··on Almost every dumbphone worth knowing about
Buy an e-ink phone (Bigme or Hisense come to mind)
bestouff··on Desire to Move Permanently to U.S. at New Low
Yeah, as usual. Now treat the EU as one block and look at your numbers.
bestouff··on Threat of AI share crash puts world financial stability at risk, says IMF
Who would have guessed ?
bestouff··on Lobbying is corruption
He was talking about the European parliament. The lobbying is organized and transparent there. But still some recent cases have demonstrated there remains some corruption.
bestouff··on Anger as man sentenced to death for Facebook comment
It's a joke. In the US you have to put your hand on a Bible or equivalent when testifying in court.

France is a country where religion is separated from government.

bestouff··on Tennessee inmate still alive after being administered two lethal injections
Just do stop killing people like any civilized country.
bestouff··on Show HN: A CC0 museum of retro 3D tricks you can paste into a page
They move on my Firefox mobile
bestouff··on Installing NeoVim caused original Vim undo files to be deleted
Sure. And nobody has a duty to use it. This user states that (s)he doesn't want to use an editor that doesn't care for its users. I don't blame anyone here.
bestouff··on 7 out of 9 Planetary Boundaries are breached
The problem is the collateral damages. It will take a lot of other species with us.

bestouff··on Bill Gates tries to install MovieMaker (2003)
I love Debian so much. The amount of work done by volunteers is staggering, and the result is impeccable.

I really enjoy single-executable Rust things - that's what I use for building web apps (SSR). But it's not that widespread (for now ?).
bestouff··on A Screensaver for LG's Spying Smart TVs
I did. Modern projector have the same spying shit nowadays. Streaming apps, games, ads and all.

My fav is this :

> Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is not usable. This program listing was one sane place but now it is all crapped up.

This is so true, and not only under Windows. Install any modern program under any modern OS and have a look at the filesystem, it's a flaming mess. Nowadays the only solution "smart people" have found is to install a complete system, complete with libraries and frameworks, for each program.

I miss the days of simple executables.

I'm also vegan except for fish. And meat.
bestouff··on Don't Use a gmail.com Address
Surprise surprise : lots of companies really use gmail with a custom domain. No way to escape.
