I'm really watching 12 Angry Men through a small window in a wonderfully cute browser game, I love it!

Is it me or does the App Store website look... fake? The text in the header ("Productiviteit", "Alleen voor iPhone") looks pixelated, like it was edited on Paint, the header background is flickering, the app icon and screenshots are very low quality, the title of the website is incomplete ("App Store voor iPho...")

New comment by hadrien01 in "IBM to acquire Confluent"

hadrien01 — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 14:48:00 +0000

Genuine question: how did the IBM acquisitions of Red Hat and HashiCorp turn out?

For Red Hat, there's no longer an official "public" distribution of RHEL, but apart from that they seemingly have been left alone and able to continue to develop their own products. But that's only my POV as a user of OSS Red Hat products at home and of RHEL and OpenShift at work.

8 million transactions in only a few months (mostly in France), I wouldn't say "nobody's using Wero"

Jetbrains IDEs: Settings > Editor > Font > Enable ligatures

Sublime Text: Set "font_options" to "dlig". There are other settings to choose which character tables are allowed to use ligatures or not.

Visual Studio Code: Set "editor.fontLigatures" to "true". You can also put CSS font features to choose which ligatures you want to enable.

The French language examples on that page are atrocious. One of them starts reading French like a native English speaker, then mid-sentence switches to a proper accent. Another one does some words with a Canadian-French accent, but not all of them. And the only one with a proper and constant accent from start to end sounds worse than the default Windows TTS...

Redirects from translated versions of Google or Microsoft documentation to the English one. The Microsoft ones are okay-ish but I strongly prefer reading the original version. And the Google ones are a patchwork of machine-translated nonsense, "powered by Google Cloud Translation API"

New comment by hadrien01 in "Corporation for Public Broadcasting Statement Regarding Executive Order"

hadrien01 — Fri, 02 May 2025 13:43:00 +0000

I suppose this is in response to this executive order: ENDING TAXPAYER SUBSIDIZATION OF BIASED MEDIA https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/05/endi...

I would add that PBS has this to say about public media funding:

> The U.S. is almost literally off the chart for how little we allocate towards our public media. At the federal level, it comes out to a little over $1.50 per person per year. Compare that to the Brits, who spend roughly $100 per person per year for the BBC. Northern European countries spend well over $100 per person per year.

> And it really shows in the health of their of their public broadcasting systems. They tend to view those systems as essential democratic infrastructure. And, indeed, data show that there is a positive correlation between the health of a public broadcasting system and the health of a democratic governance.
