On the contrary, seeing this shows that Wayland is the survivor among many competitors and not something major distributions suddenly pulled out of their asses. If anything that gives Wayland even more weight as the replacement for Xorg.

I don't see how the average person could know it didn't came from the servers. Even for a developer it would require looking at the JS code or the network calls. Anyway, what's the point of embedding a clock in a website? Eve

I imagine Bing would be happy to pay to be default. Remember it's an affiliate model, revenue share so Firefox having a small market share means the bill is smaller. Also Firefox doesn't need that much money to survive. They have

It didn't really got more expensive because salaries have increased as well. Maybe for a tourist coming from a country that hasn't seen that much inflation (Japan?)

This is true, but the question is not whether it helps or not but if the 86% increase is the right number or not. Yes inflation was higher in big cities.

It's 8 because it's 1/3 of the day. 10/3 is not a nice round number. Also 1/4 of a day is 6 hours, another nice round number! 10/4 is 2.5 which is not as bad as 10/3 but still not a round number.

This is already the case, timezones have weird shapes and some of them are huge. In Europe and China you have timezones spanning over 3 "sun" timezones. In practice that means the sun rising and setting at different times. People

It's not super hard to create a clock, you just have to find a 24-hours clock then you create custom labels/board for it. Or if your system works with 2 rotations per day use a regular clock.

In France taxis are much better than Uber. I've had some really weird experiences with Uber while taxis where all very professional and top notch.

Also I have to say that the situation of USB-C is much better now than in the past. At the beginning of USB-C you had devices that were not implementing the standard correctly, and using the wrong cable could fry a device. Now the devices a

15 seconds a month is 3 minutes per year, and I don't want to bother having to fix my watch every few month. Simply to catch a train it's important to have a precise watch.

Sure, just like a necklace or a ring. Because that's what those expensive watches are: pieces of jewelry. Yes, they can tell the time but there are better ways of knowing the time nowadays. Especially if you care about accuracy, a smar

People have to understand that posting to Twitter is the equivalent of shouting in a megaphone at Time Square. It's not the equivalent of sharing something with your close friends, even if some people might think so. Yes most of the ti

Not in software. Most successful French startups move their HQ to US as soon as they can and claim they're a US company. "Made in France" software is a shame and if you're targetting the global market (not just the Frenc

Because they want to charge you for the expensive "tethering" option. I know, that's fucked up but the US are not very good at forcing consumer-friendliness on their companies. On the "how they detect it", unless yo

Yes, I don't understand why people think that gold has some sort of intrinsic value. It only has value because we collectively agree it's valuable. But in itself it's not super useful, yes there are some industrial applicatio

The USD retains its value because it's used as a global currency, it's as simple as that. Not because US bills are used in SE Asia or other places but because big transactions (like oil) are done in USD.

That's the whole problem of LLM: they work only on human language. Even before computers we created formal languages (mathematics, logic equations) precisely because human language is too often ambiguous.

I think it makes sense. They're banks and their currency is miles. Their customers have accounts with balances, transactions, and they make money by selling miles that they make out of thin air. They don't just create miles from t

It's been that way for a long time now. Linux distribution try to make installation as easy as possible because most people need to install it themselves. Microsoft not caring about installation because most people buy it preinstalled

Vending machine are pretty common in France and not gross at all. It's nowhere near as common as in Japan but you will often find them in train stations or highway rest areas.
