  • Apple won’t be forced to open up iMessage by EU

    Jump

  • The way the EU approaches this walled garden problem, is to try and offer ways for other competitors to tap into the user base of the bigger players instead of trying to allow all EU citizens to chat with any other EU citizen who uses META Products regardless of their host platform.

    Probably because of spam? I don't think you can open up all the communicators to every self hosted server there is. It would be a disaster.

  • Estonia Says Russia Is Preparing For A Military Confrontation With The West

    Jump

  • Yeah, let's see... So far Ukraine was able to take down planes deep into Russia's territory, bomb Moscow, sink flagship of the Russian Navy, disable the most protected bridge in the country and bomb HQ of Black Sea fleet. All that with spare European weapons and toys. You really think that Europe would need US help to fight Russia? This war has proven that Russian army is in terrible state. Their weapons are shit and commanders are incompetent. They are struggling with a army 1/5th their size. Russia is once again back to their WWI strategy of sacrificing thousands after thousands of soldiers. At this point one has to be delusional to think Russia could fight Europe.

  • Shell Is Immediately Closing All Of Its California Hydrogen Stations | The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can't make its operations work here.

  • You don't seem to understand that the only thing solar energy does for free is to heat the ground which is kind of useless for moving cars,

  • They had a paid break, right?

  • Yep, programming is fun but working as a programmer not so much. For me writing software is a creative activity. It's fun to come up with problems and find solutions for them. In my personal projects I decide what problem I want to solve, choose the technology I think will be fun to solve it in and then come up with a solution I like.

    At work you are usually handed a problem you don't care about (we're decommissioning X, you don't have to know why, just change everything to use Y), the solution is described in detail by someone else and you just have to turn it into some code using 5-10 years old stack.

    Fortunately at my current job I mostly do projects without much technical oversight (proof-of-concept type project) so I can choose how I want to do then. I dislike the company culture but I know that moving somewhere else would mean going back to boring coding agian.

  • Stone age wall found at bottom of Baltic Sea ‘may be Europe’s oldest megastructure’

    Jump

  • The glacier would move the stones if it would have been built before ice age. The big stones were most probably left there by the glacier and the wall was built after it receded.

  • European leaders call for stronger defence ties after Trump’s Nato remarks

    Jump

  • It should have been clear 7 years ago that Europe can't rely on US any more. Hoping US will become a rational partner again and dragging their feet on real action is probably equal part inertia and corruption. Hopefully they will wake up sooner than they did with Russia and energy independence.

  • Tesla Cybertruck May Have A Rust Problem

    Jump

  • But isn't Rust supposed to be great and memory safe?

  • WTF are you talking about? So solar if free because 'solar hydrogen'? You're not making any sense.

    Jump

  • Jesus, of course it's not free. Solar panels are not free, the land you put ten on is not free, construction is not free and the infrastructure needed to supply energy during the nigh (storage or another source of energy) is not free. How is this not obvious?

  • American allies worry the US is growing less dependable, whether Trump or Biden wins

    Jump

  • Be the police that stops a robbery or rape. Don't be the police that plants evidence to justify illegal raid, then murders the drag dealer to steal his money while selling guns to gangsters specializing in killing kids.

  • The Ladybird browser project

    Jump

  • What you said (if I understand you correctly, you didn't give any examples) boils down to breaking standards established by the current browsers. The standards that web developers and servers universally follow. If you want to build browser that will not follow standards you might just as well render HTML in non-standars ways. Most pages will not work anyway.

  • Man dies mid-flight after breaking out in 'cold sweats' and losing 'liters of blood,' scaring his fellow passengers

  • Still better than flying next to a baby.

  • running off solar

    Because solar is free?

    Guys, we can stop trying to solve climate change, we already have free energy!

  • Also, hydrogen grows on trees apparently.

  • The Ladybird browser project

    Jump

  • What is it about then? Rendering HTML and CSS in a new, fun way?

    Jump

  • Ok, so what do you want your 4th, new browser to do differently? What's so different about it that you can't build it on top of Gecko?

    Jump

  • he internet is in desperate need of an alternative to the Chrome/Mozilla/Safari trio.

    No it's not. You have lots and lots of different browsers. Do we need another browser engine? Also not. They all do the same thing so while it's good to have some competition we definitely don't need yet another one.

  • Social networks are getting stingy with their data, leaving third-party developers in the lurch

    Jump

  • It's probably more like when Amazon gets into yet another business and kills the competition. Whatever those 3rd party devs are doing the social networks can do themselves and make more money.

  • Irish unification referendum by 2030, Sinn Fein leader tells Sky News

    Jump

  • The entire Ireland is in the EU already. Northern Ireland can access the single market without checks. The checks are between Ireland and GB.
