- Comment on China’s chip startups are racing to replace Nvidia 2 weeks ago:
It's not like they would not do anything after being blocked by the USA.
- Comment on Engineers wanted: Mexico looks to join the global semiconductor race 2 weeks ago:
I did not have more details, I just love any opportunity to spit on USA international policies.
we are doing this to ourselves and the plan is to make it even worse
What do you mean with this ? From what I know (not a lot, honestly), cartels are as powerful as unofficial country, with a shit ton of money (and weapons from the US), so honestly, I would not know how to deal with them.
- Comment on Engineers wanted: Mexico looks to join the global semiconductor race 2 weeks ago:
I wanted to remind that Mexican cartels grew this powerful by using the war on drug of the USA to target only Colombian cartels, so the USA are partly responsible for their growth
- Comment on Pentagon Warns Microsoft: Company’s Use of China-Based Engineers Was a “Breach of Trust” 2 weeks ago:
Hey, it is not an full OS but the French Gendarmerie is using their custom Ubuntu since the end of windows 7
- Comment on Do I need the ISPs home router? 3 weeks ago:
I don't know where you are and it probably matters, but in France you would need to suscribe to an enterprise contract to use your own gear, or smaller ISPs. At best, we can put them in bridge mode. You need to look out for your ISP for that.
- Comment on Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal 4 weeks ago:
The good old French acronym XD
- Comment on Belgium Targets Internet Archive's 'Open Library' in Sweeping Site Blocking Order 1 month ago:
I guess Yuri is good for now. Just don't get your hopes to high, 2027 election will be a weird ride I guess
- Comment on Belgium Targets Internet Archive's 'Open Library' in Sweeping Site Blocking Order 1 month ago:
In France, you have the choice between public press (depending a lot on the president in place thanks to his tax cut), you have capitalist propaganda, more or less obviously fascist, and that's it for the TV. On the web you have Blast, le Média, Frustration Magasine, or Humanity in paper if you want leftist media.
- Comment on If everyone spontaneously became the same race the world would realize that the rich are the real problem 1 month ago:
Tell me you don't know what the nazies did in Eastern Europe without telling me you don't what the nazies did in Eastern Europe. Or how the Irish were considered in the USA, or the italians...
- Comment on The worst thing about Linux is its users 1 month ago:
I am going to take the bet.
The thing is : microsoft won't stop spying, collecting data is a nice business, and also most people don't need windows:
- Office docs can be open through onlyoffice, or you can also switch to libreoffice (the best option would be raw text like markdown or csv with a nice editor)
- Who really needs advanced photoshop stuff that gimp can't provide ? AI ? (also gimp devs just revamped the project to bring modern features inside the editing core)
- web browsers work on linux.
- only kernel anticheats do not work on linux because kernel. Shame on the devs for needing a full fledge malware when it is purely cat and mouse (and if game devs could provide hostable private servers this would be nice). Also, I don't know if it works but this project exists
Finally, posting this on the fediverse is a bit ironic : why would you go on a small userbase social network when you can just go on facebook, X, bluesky or reddit ?
