Re:Germany Overtakes US in Ammunition Production Capacity on Wednesday April 29, 2026 @03:31AM (#47945198)
The US did not "pick up" Europe's defense bill out of charity. It ran a garrison empire because forward bases served American interests: containing Russia, projecting power, locking allies into US weapons. European welfare states are funded by European taxes, not Pentagon largesse. Defense is nowhere the "largest expense" of any developed country, pensions and healthcare are. Europe rearming is overdue, but the right framing is strategic autonomy from an unreliable partner, not a wayward teenager finally paying rent.
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026) on Monday March 09, 2026 @04:18AM (#47306151)
I built Collider, A wrap-based package and dependency manager for Meson.

I needed a way to use and push my own artifacts in Meson projects. WrapDB is fine for upstream deps, but I wanted to publish my packages and depend on them with proper versioning and a lockfile, without hand-editing wrap files.

Collider builds on Meson’s wrap system: you declare deps in collider.json, run collider lock for reproducible installs, and push your projects as wraps to a local or HTTP repo. It’s compatible with WrapDB, so existing workflows still work: you just get a clear way to use and push your own stuff. Apache-2.0.

Re:French PM Lecornu resigns hours after forming cabinet on Monday October 06, 2025 @08:41AM (#45490730)
That's true that populist and far right oligarchs control medias in France, hence they do manipulate voters with fearmongering and half-truths.

I want to separate this from a state-backed election fraud though. I would say that the election process is fair, but citizens are manipulated.

Seems like a MacOS issue rather. I've been using Firefox on Debian for 15 years and never had this issue (except a borked release here and there)
Noting that onlyoffice is developed by a russian company, which attempted to hide its russian ties through shell companies.

The company develops its product in russia and presents itself in the Russian market as a russian company

Re:I Deleted My Steam Account After 20 Years on Wednesday July 09, 2025 @04:32AM (#44507580)
Steam has Comprehensive library management with categories, tags, and collections, Built-in screenshot/video capture and sharing, Steam Workshop for mods and user-generated content, Robust review system, Steam Cloud saves with reliable sync, Family sharing and parental controls, Active discussion forums for each game, Stable, well-tested interface refined over 20+ years, Offline mode that actually works reliably, Big Picture mode for TV/controller use3

Epic: Basic library management, No user reviews system, Missing social features like forums, No mod support integration, Inconsistent cloud save functionality, Aggressive exclusive deals that remove games from other platforms, Perceived as "buying" market share rather than earning it, Heavy reliance on free games to attract users, Slower, less responsive launcher, More frequent bugs and crashes, Limited offline functionality Fewer accessibility options, No linux support and aggressive stance against free software in general.

Re:Life Expectancy in Europe Compared to the US on Friday June 27, 2025 @06:38AM (#44395637)
Food, I believe it's obvious. France obesity rate is also lower than the US.

Large portion of americans eat like they have free healthcare.

Basically its just screen yes. It's just convenient and more portable to do it this way. Small desktop screen also exist and are used to peek on what the FPV operator is seeing.
