Re:noyb win: French electronics retailer Fnac Darty fined €7M on Sunday November 01, 2026 @07:48AM (#50325146)
I have always had horrible experiences buying from FNAC. I avoid them at all costs. They often apply pressure on the customer into buying an insurance for their product which is very difficult to cancel.

I am using DuckDB + Parquet + HTTP range requests for a current project and it's a great combination for data exploration tools that run in the browser.

Nice website! Could you tell use a bit more about this project? What prompted you to make it? I've been looking for a good ad-free, account-free minimal flag learning website and this looks like a good fit.

Why would anyone want that? I don't want infinite movies, I don't have infinite time. I'd rather have intent over quantity. There is already an abundance of content, a century of cinema. Who actually wants this and why?
