Yes, somebody just mentioned in a Youtube video that PHP is a old legacy language. It made me feel old as one of my first jobs in the computer industry was writing web apps in PHP.

If you're going to slop and still picked C over Rust in 2026... Ouch.

haha from the company you have to buy an expensive adapter to use a 3.5mm jack or bluetooth... Sonos was always a scam.

Full blown dog whistling racism that has nothing to do with 15 years old liberal standards, it's just "I don't like brown people" with a veil of prose... Fuck DHH.

Is there a guideline somewhere on how these groups run fully anonymous infra?
Do they get IP blocks lent by someone? Wouldn't they need a real name and card to pay for hosting, DNS, etc?

Opening a French video out of the blue and hearing some weird English translation no one asked for instead of simply adding subtitles is such an awful example of American exceptionalism...
I'm not necessarily going to set my browser to every language I want to hear with subtitles, but auto-voice translation is just wrong.

Yep. In theory OVH are already pre-approved, at least for Quebec government projects, but I'm not aware of any projects using them (not that I'd know, I work mostly with non-profits, but we have a few small municipal projects too). OVH account managers can be helpful in providing info for bidding on contracts, certifications, stuff like that.

I, for one, definitely welcome more competition. Nextcloud, LibreOffice and Thunderbird are good, but they require a lot of effort to switch.

On the other hand, business in Canada has been good. The place I work at has an influx of US organizations who do not want to host their data in the US either.

Yes they fucked up, but also there is nothing else left, Google is worse for the reasons mentioned against Firefox and... Here we are

For over a decade I've been wanting a web standard so news agencies and whoever could digitally sign their published articles so the users could trace the source back to its origin for content that needs to very trusted and verified...
Now it's probably too late with the current media landscape crumbling under the aggregators of this world, but still worth a try maybe?

And capitalism's use of AI without thinking of the impact on society even more so...

Since the first time I heard they were phasing out nuclear BEFORE phasing out gaz, coal, etc. and transitioning to solar, wind, etc.
I was utterly confused by the lack of thinking behind this decision!
