>USA can't stop engaging in wars no?
Eisenhower explained why in his farewell address.

Including for the U.S. and Israel?
Zealotux | 11 days ago | on: Ask HN: Have you ever cloned a cat?
I understand why this post would get flagged but I love the question, it never came to my mind how logical it would be for someone to clone their beloved pet.
Zealotux | 21 days ago | on: Skip the Tips: A game to select "No Tip" but dark patterns try to stop you
Tipping culture is properly weird to me as an European, I probably tip much more than the average European and I still find these prompts obnoxious, and they're popping everywhere in Barcelona. No thank you, that's a part of the U.S. culture I certainly don't want to see imported over here.

Zealotux | 1 month ago | on: I stopped following the news
I would suggest following the news with a delay, for example you can subscribe to a monthly publication like Le Monde Diplomatique[1] that'll give you a relatively fresh analysis of news but without the noise. They invite experts to contribute and give a saner perspective to world event, with more context.

Ukraine never had the possibility to keep its nuclear arsenal, they simply didn't have the infrastructure for it, let's not pretend they had any real choice.

Would it be possible for some food to have been contaminated with something? It seems unlikely.
Zealotux | 2 months ago | on: It's hard to justify Tahoe icons
Tahoe and Liquid Glass™ solidified for me the idea that Apple completely dropped the ball when it comes to design. Clearly they needed an a-hole in charge, Jobs would've crucified a few people.
It's painful to see the decay, update after update, into a more confusing, cluttered, and tacky experience.
Zealotux | 2 months ago | on: Linux is good now
It's good until you boot your system and end up with an unrecoverable black screen that meeses your day of work for no good reason. Linux is free if you don't value your time.
Zealotux | 2 months ago | on: Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
I worked for a massive German company you heard of, this sounds more like the typical German philosophy of strictly following the process -- as absurd as it might be -- and refusing to take initiative for anything that is not explicitly defined as one's responsibility.
As a French, the culture shock was brutal and I never really got around that work attitude. I went through a similar issue back when I used to take a regional train in France, and the crew swiftly adapted by bending rules to accommodate a difficult situation caused by bad weather. I'm not sure this could happen today, but it was a thing 10 years ago, we used to trust the operators back then.
Zealotux | 2 months ago | on: The Going Dark initiative or ProtectEU is a Chat Control 3.0 attempt
In the ancient Greek colony of Locri, any who proposed a new law would do so with a rope around their neck, if the law was voted down, they would get hanged.
Food for thought.
Zealotux | 2 months ago | on: Show HN: Picknplace.js, an alternative to drag-and-drop
I would argue this is a mobile-centric solution, for desktop you could still have the classic drag-and-drop, actually both can coexist.
Zealotux | 2 months ago | on: Venezuela explained in 10 maps and charts
It's an interesting perspective, and looking back at history I'm inclined to believing that. A question about those refineries for heavy crude oil: isn't that possible to adapt the oil plants to lighter oil? Or would that mean rebuilding the whole facility?

Zealotux | 2 months ago | on: 1300 Still Images from the Animated Films of Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli (2023)
Spirited Away is my absolute favorite one and I think great for children too. Mononoke, Porco Rosso, and Nausicaa are maybe more serious/mature but still incredible. Other valid options especially for children: Totoro, Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle.
In any case you're in for an adventure!
Zealotux | 2 months ago | on: French supermarket's Christmas advert is worldwide hit (without AI) [video]
It's a cute ad all but as a French kid I used to see similar things often, we have a good culture of animation. Is "they didn't use AI" really a criteria now?

That kind of Apple product is always ridiculed online by people who obviously never stepped into an Apple Store.
