Re:Superlite: A Faster Alternatie to Superpowers on Monday October 19, 2026 @10:21AM (#50152854)
I've been using Superpowers for months, it's great, only downside is the extensive token usage.

When I saw the title Superlite, I thought it's a Superpowers fork optimised for less token usage...

'AI sovereignty' is a nice sales pitch in the EU market.
Re:Nissan's third generation e-POWER powertrain on Monday September 28, 2026 @06:02AM (#49875707)
This powertrain is great for people that want to drive an EV, but they live in places with poor charging infrastructure.

Two motors and e-Pedal driving is the cherry on top imho (e.g. in the 2027 Rouge).

Wow, the UX has come a long way, can't wait to try it.

What is MuseHub and how is Audacity related to it?

The front of the device in the illustrations looks like the LG Fireweb from 2013, that ran Firefox OS. Good old times.

> xmls scattered all over the filesystem

is this comment from 2015?

With e.g. Spring Boot and Gradle you can have large projects with zero xml files needed. That has been the case for years.

Related, Mageia 10 was recently released (June 30, 2026).

That's the case in Europe in general, yes.

"no gives a fuck" is a bit dramatic

there are memes about zabka on social media as well (i've personally seen some on insta and tiktok), maybe not in the same scale, but there are.

`buys` sounds like they have just purchased BD, should be `takes full control` or something similar.
Many similar cases accross Europe.

Visited Lisboa last summer, the building where I booked an apartment was not even there in Google Maps, satellite image data was showing a leveled site with some dumpsters.

Just checked and the images are still the same old ones...

Same issue in all southern and eastern European countries.

Nation states have been editing history related pages on Wikipedia for ages, it has never been a reliable source of information on some topics.
Switched from Spring Boot to Ruby on Rails 3 years ago.

I expected to see some new Spring 'tricks' in this post, but it's pretty much regular things that people might do in larger codebases.

> He is going to open GarageBand and make something that is not a song.

As a kid I just loved playing around in Reason (1 or 2?) and making strange sounds and just flipping the racks around and trying to connect the cables in any jack possible, to see what happens.

I would open one of the demo songs, to 'learn' how these racks were wired, and then experimented.

Good old memories.

Kids nowadays need those type of experiences too.

Breaking this systemic barrier would make life easier on a lot of people.

Re:SmartTube Compromised on Monday December 01, 2025 @07:15AM (#46106482)
Sometimes people download it because there's no alternative. E.g. the YT app is not available in the play store in their country on that specific hardware, so the only way to be able to view YT is to use an alternative app like this one.

I remember when ZTE Open was released in Europe in 2013, it was a decent Firefox OS phone.

The downside for me was that it didn't feel premium.

Compared to the 2012 HTC One S that I had back then, which was very slim, with aluminum finish and great screen, it didn't stood the chance.

Re:Docker Desktop Alternative on Friday September 20, 2024 @03:02PM (#41604695)
I've been using Rancher Desktop as an alternative to Docker Desktop, https://rancherdesktop.io/ on macOS and Windows, it's pretty solid.

It has some kinks to work out but I got it working with IDEs too (e.g. the Intellij IDEA Docker Compose integration to work with it).

What I also like is that existing scripts and etc that use the docker-compose cli work with Rancher Desktop too, as it uses nerdctl https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl
