Since when is Macron anti-EU?

I keep seeing people putting Lets Encrypt down. What is so wrong with it?

Anyone with the backstory for this?

Not OP, but considering that what is considered varies greatly between country, usually based on what is rare (think fat in Africa vs skinny in the US) and that we don't have a general agreement on what is objectively beautiful it is safe to say that it is indeed a social construct.

Not everyone lives in the authoritarian US where the police are legitimate psychos.

I think the parent comment was referring to video game piracy before Steam.

It was a mess of custom launchers, DRM, losing the CD/DVD or key so people would turn to piracy to access stuff they already owned.

Fast-forward a few year and most people are fine with Steam as long as it's the unified launcher for doing thing.

I'm sure the current US gov will pardon him! /s

Anecdotal, but I recently wanted to make bread. I watched 4-5 videos to get the gist of it, made bread, all is good.

Except it's not. About 70-80% of my recommandations on YouTube are about bread now.

I'm a Google Play Music user and mark my words, the day they kill the service is the day I go to spotify. I'm not going to whatever Prime-like monster they're creating.

It's funny how a small industry is built around this. I remember a few years ago you could pay a monthly fee and they would have tiers and live support.

It wasn't very pricy for small attacks, sometimes even free for anything under 300 seconds.

While the relation is only tangential, it reminds me of the East India Company minting their own coin. Another powerful megacorp with a monopoly.

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely not in the "grumpiness" phase, it got so bad that my gf and I simply switched over to discord for everything after a very solid +5 years using Skype for pretty much everything.

In other news: water is wet.

I understand but I still find it depressing.

You know that Canada and Mexico are not part of the US right?

I'm astonished to learn that Robertson are a Canadian thing! My grandfather was a cabinet-maker and god save you if you used something else in front of him.

Good riddance, it was a terrible anticompetitive idea and I would rather see Nvidia innovate instead of relying on such methods.

Crazy level of transparency, they noticed, fixed it and notified the users even though this was an internal leak. I bet most businesses would just sweep it under the rug.

Can someone really sue their surgeon in the US?

Thank you for that, great alternative!

Canada's immigration system works with points and education is worth a lot.

While statcan doesn't provide information on tuition, the immigration data shows that 66 000 or the 104 000 male immigrants were in the "economic" category in 2015.

Definitely worth a read.

I don't understand why your comment is so low. Cython is the easy-to-implement solution here.
