Hopefully soon, linux will be running just fine on the Apple Silicon.

gobipon Demo: Fully P2P and open source Reddit alternative

Now use nitter and create your account, login, and tweet something. If you can't, you didn't compare.

Wow. DeFi? Be your own bank? Ordinals? No dear, we are here to hate and give our opinion on something we don't understand!

gobipon Germany’s solar power generation hit record high at weekend

Yes. France relies only on Flamanville 3, and only Flamanville 3 powers the entire country.

Germany keeps polluting. Nature cares about co2, nature doesn't care about your economical strategy. Co2 is what matters the most, and your renewable, while being 75% of your electricity, doesn't help at all.

Also, you forget to mention why Germany really gave up on nuclear. Enjoy Russian's blood money, Schröder, people are willing to defend your treason act, even in 2023.

gobipon Germany’s solar power generation hit record high at weekend

Great thing the ex-ex-chancelor sold Germany's electricity to Russia. The pension must be good. The citizens aren't complaining.

gobipon Germany’s solar power generation hit record high at weekend

And yet, Germany is worse than France. France has 35% of renewables, Germany has 75% of renewables! And they pollute ten times more than France.

26gr of Carbon intensity vs 260gr. Check it out live here:

Germany has failed, and keeps pushing for its failure so that it can turn into a miracle, and it won't.

gobipon The Erasmus Network

Erasmus is a common word in european language, meaning "exchange". Imagine you live in Paris, you're a French person, you will probably "go on an erasmus" during your studies. You will study abroad during one semester, in Berlin for example.

In Europe, we also say "erasmus" for people who went abroad, outside the EU (USA for example). It's harder to go on an exchange in the USA as you have to translate your grades, everything is more expensive (no european health insurance, etc).

Hope this helps.

gobipon Closing a stale SSH connection

I use the french azerty layout (fr-pc) on macOS (equivalent fr-latin9 on linux). It is an ISO keyboard, I am able to do all of the examples you wrote, and more: option b is ß, ã is option ~ and a, "é" is its own key, so is "à" or "ç".

I am able to write 120 words per minute, not so special, but good enough for me. I find the ansi/qwerty too slow with its compose system (I tried on the canadian-intl layout made for Québec).

gobipon PayPal has restricted our account after we invoiced a key containing “ALEP”

Yes, those same banks, that are "regulated" yet they decide what they do with your money, just like PayPal. Bonus: they collapse.

gobipon France prepares for possibility of electricity blackouts during winter months

At this point? It doesn't matter why they are on strike. They are always on strike.

Since WWII, the train company SNCF has been on strike -every- year. Except during covid because there was no train to be on strike from. Good luck getting a train for christmas, it's canceled. Same thing here. It's a crucial moment? It's very important for the french people? Go on a strike and ruin everything.

I live in France and I have no sympathy for these strikes. At least the Yellow Vests were striking on a Saturday. Everybody were pissed, but only on Saturdays!

gobipon France says non to Office 365 and Google Workspace in school

See you in one year when Microsoft will give a big chèque to the french government. It happens every few years.

gobipon France prepares for possibility of electricity blackouts during winter months

You forget to mention a key point: these maintenance workers were on strike and they were also part of the problem.

gobipon France prepares for possibility of electricity blackouts during winter months

Your own argument is busted by.. your own argument. EDF has been nationalized again and here we are. The issue isn't "privatizations".

gobipon French court: refusing to disclose mobile passcode to law enforcement is a crime

As always, the country known for its human rights (or so they advertise themselves as), is gonna get reprimanded by the european court for not respecting the human rights.

Good job France.

gobipon Protonmail can delete the wrong email and nobody cares

You can "easily" switch to fastmail from Protonmail. First set your domain on fastmail with the accounts, once you're done with the new setup, the last step is to import from Protonmail. Using the Proton Mail Exporter app, you can generate a .mbox file, using fastmail importer, you can send the .mbox file. It's been working great, with over 10k emails.

gobipon Protonmail can delete the wrong email and nobody cares

You don’t have to use the bridge for this to happen. Read the issues.

gobipon Protonmail can delete the wrong email and nobody cares

Read the issues, it’s happening to people using the web ui too.

gobipon Protonmail can delete the wrong email and nobody cares

HN is hooked on fastmail which is a great provider to be honest. Have a look at mailbox.org which is in business since the 90s too. Avoid the privacy trending providers promising you to encrypt your emails.

gobipon Protonmail can delete the wrong email and nobody cares

What would you recommend? I'd recommend fastmail or mailbox.org

gobipon Tell HN: ProtonMail enabled setting to autoshow embedded/remote images

I'm done too. Where would you go now? I'm going to Fastmail.

gobipon Celsius Execs Cashed Out $40M in Crypto Before Halting Withdrawals for Customers

Layer two on Bitcoin. Lightning network. Stablecoins coming soon.

gobipon ProtonMail Is Down

You replied question 2 with question 1: we don't self host email, -because- of deliverability issues.

gobipon El Salvador's Bitcoin Buys Tracker

The whole point of legalizing bitcoin is to get rid of the IMF. The IMF bails Argentina in exchange of reforms and banning bitcoins.

The US & IMF don't bail out people out of poverty, they only acquire countries but economically.

When you are against them, you're just a Cuba, a Venezuela, or an Iraq.

gobipon EU to mandate public salary information for all job postings [pdf]

Just like they can introduce laws to help workers' social protection. Or safety measures. And yet they don't.

gobipon Discord is a black hole for information

It is exactly like WhatsApp. In fact, nowadays, WhatsApp is Signal (as in, they use the same protocol), but it's the same hierarchy: contacts + groups of contacts, and nothing else.

gobipon France to Build Six New Nuclear Reactors

France is not serious about climate? If you're in a neighbor country of France: congrats, your electricity is much more polluted than France's is.

Énergie Nucléaire was a thing of De Gaulle, but not for these reasons. France needed independence and needed to provide electricity, and the only way was nuclear (at the time).

Given the current situation, I think France didn't do too bad. Only one candidate in France on par with Jancovici tho, Fabien Roussel.

I live in France, never heard of this "Net Zero" you're talking about.
