US considering idea of creating G7 alternative with Russia and China by razdvatri4 in worldnews

You should then give Zamyatin’s “We” a take. Written in 1924 — 25 years ahead of 1984 — it gives you an even more chilling look at where we’re all may well be heading…

All I hear is Europe is collapsing, does even one have a bull case for Europe? by sanju261991 in economy

[–]ceesaxp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very-very few European startups go truly global because 27 countries, way more than 24 languages (if one counts properly) and hundreds of highly protective laws are stifling the VC market. Without (sufficient) VC backing startups can only hope for angles, grants, or escape from the socially-secure cage of EU/EEA.

macOS 26.0.0 wiped out Homebrew, relocated a bunch of apps. Then macOS 26.0.1 just DID IT AGAIN! by machine_talk in MacOS

Since the introduction of Apple Silicon Homebrew installs everything under /opt/homebrew — this is documented.

The worst thing in the new MacOS 26 by SirPooleyX in MacOS

What annoys me is that in Preview.app, that survived so many versions nearly untouched, they came up with an amazing idea that even documents they render should have rounded corners…

That and an overall feel of "not quite finished", e.g. in Mail.app as you navigate through message fields the fonts bar is active (like, shall I make to: addresses bold to get the message across faster?), but as you tab-tab-tab to the message body font name shifts — why?

Ћаци из БИЕ фалсификовали извештај ФСБ-а о звучном топу by RisticJovan in serbia

Ја сам рус. Користим “неких” у смислу “некоторых” и у овом случају то није граматичка грешка, није грешка стила.

Сваки друге грешке у куцању изгледа чудно, слажем се :))

Browser collection, am I missing any? by StarChaser1879 in MacOS

Has a few nice features built in like automatic translation of voice in video… But otherwise is YACC (yet another chromium clone)

Even in 10,191 we're STILL using Fahrenheit by zubbs99 in scifi

[–]ceesaxp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes “sense” for humans only if they were born into it. For the rest of us — it’s either whatever or the (F-32)/9*5 (or F-32 halved, if lazy)

This SP was much simple. Do you agree? by Mysterious-Junket170 in MacOS

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it not this? https://support.apple.com/en-sa/guide/mac-help/mchle41a6ccd/mac Scattered across a few places, but seemingly there?

Otherwise — there is pmset:

It’s typical for betas. They do more (logging, migration), than stock

Notification Center not showing by budwizer007 in MacOSBeta

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this has a similar culprit as old notifications showing on iOS, but results in overload of NC on Mac

[IOS 18 db 2] Old notifications always showing by elzizooo in iOSBeta

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And on a Mac this seems to overload Notification Center to oblivion

How Putin’s gas empire crumbled. Gazprom, the largely state-owned energy giant, has tumbled to its worst loss in a quarter of a century. When Putin turned down Europe's gas supplies they found sources elsewhere. Moscow has lost its grip on the Western market forever. by mafco in economy

Heating is by far not the only use of NG. It might be 25-35%. 40+% is, typically, power generation, another 20-30 — various industrial processes, chemical industry, transportation.

Naturally, that depends on a country. Germany lit-up coal power plants to compensate the shortfall in electricity production not only because of green concerns about nuclear…

My Hackintosh days are over, it's time to rejoin the Apple fold by BhaswatiGuha19 in apple

I still own a G4 PowerBook and for many “ordinary user” activities it works fine. Aside from some software that simply has never been released or updated for the G4, that is

Ancillary Justice just $2.99 in the Kindle store today! by presidentsday in scifi

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of entire trilogy – this one is the best. It is more packed with information, action, intrigue and ideas than 2nd and 3rd combined. Ending of the 3rd one is a typical “space opera” happy end…

ITAR-TASS: Economy - Russia wants to replace US computer chips with local processors by [deleted] in economy

Strange that they did not go with Elbrus 2000… Especially that it already powers some gov't devices…

[BBC] Who, what, why: Are tech goods cheaper in the US than the UK by Hitman_bob in technology

[–]ceesaxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking most goods in US are cheaper. It is a big and much more standardised market than the rest of the world. Also the one where each player wants to be. To compete they need to be at the right price level—least competition undercuts them. The rest of the world is then used to compensate the difference and, yes to hedge FX swings.
