  • I used wget on Ubuntu to clone pages from piefed to build Zyke, a Reddit alternative

    Jump

  • Are you aware of the Piefed API? It's provided specifically to allow building front-ends and bots while avoiding scrapping.

  • You could fit 3 beds in the space of a couch, by stacking them vertically

  • As EV batteries improve, ChargePoint debuts 600 kW fast charger

    Jump

  • An average fill up runs at about 34 megawatts.

    Most of that energy is lost because ICE are very inefficients. Still, impressive.

    Also, it's not possible to refill at home, and it's expensive when there's a war near an oil-producing country at the other side of the world.

    Electrifying has this downside of slow recharge, but quite a lot of benefits as well.

  • Google says 75% of the company's new code is AI-generated

    Jump

  • And I guess engineers would be held responsible for the code produced by the AI agent's they're pressured to use.

    So management can blame and fire more engineers when things go wrong.

  • EU declines to suspend Israel trade agreement despite international pleas

    Jump

  • This was apparently rejected by members of the European Council.

    [..] the EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg held on Tuesday

    I wonder what the commission and parliement think about this.

  • Exclusive: Microsoft To Shift GitHub Copilot Users To Token-Based Billing, Tighten Rate Limits

    Jump

  • Good. This may reduce the amount of sloppy code being created. And prevent prices from increasing for everyone.

  • Fairphone 3 EOL

    Jump

  • Moving to community maintained OS/ROM is a good idea anyway due to Google closing down Android ecosystem.

    Continuing to use an Android OS that has Play Store and Play Protect will probably mean loosing the ability to run a number of (OSS) apps distributed outside the play store.

  • Claude Desktop installs undocumented browser extensions for Chrome and other browsers

    Jump

  • Claude Desktop may be lacking controls and docs on how they integrate with browsers extension, but the write up seems overly dramatic.

    It's not clear any browser extension actually were installed in the browser on the author's system. Until such extension is installed, the native messenging manifest are inactive, no browser would use them. This standard web technology allow, by design, for specific browser extensions to reach to specific apps outsider the sandbox. A pairing occurs, where the native app allow only specific extensions (cf pre-installed manifest), and the extension request a specific app. Both need to occur to allow the communication.

    Looking at one the extension info on the chrome store, it's obvious what they do. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/claude/fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn

    I would trust neither app nor extension in my system, not without extra sandboxing, as an abundance of caution. But this write-up comes up short of showing spyware behavior.

  • Air Canada temporarily suspends some flights to New York and other locations

    Jump

  • Yes, assuming (local) government realize modern train infrastructure is useful and decides to start building more right now.

  • Air Canada temporarily suspends some flights to New York and other locations

    Jump

  • by bus, or train (if there's such a thing in NA)

    I'm aware train infrastructure in limited in NA, hence the "if". Let's hope the inability to operate some flights due to fuel cost motivates expansion of modern train infrastructure in the area.

  • Air Canada temporarily suspends some flights to New York and other locations

    Jump

  • There's only 600km between Montreal and NYC, and no ocean to cross. It's absolutely possible to make the trip by bus, or train (if there's such a thing in NA).

  • Europe has 'maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,' energy agency head tells AP

    Jump

  • Thanks. This explain why cruise ships are much more wasteful than ferries:

    perhaps the biggest difference is the payload. [..] The reason, of course, is that a cruise ship is a floating village, with shops, restaurants, swimming pools and the like

    This is why it's important to compare transportation mode all things being equal. Keep in mind there's lot of people flying coach, very few planes with individual cabins and restaurants. Cruise ships are designed for entertainment and luxury. Ferries are designed for transportation.

  • 1er-Mai : Sébastien Lecornu annonce que « les boulangers et les fleuristes » pourront ouvrir

    Jump

  • Les syndicats vont ils saisir le tribunal administratif? Le gouvernement invite les entreprises à enfreindre le droit du travail.

  • Europe has 'maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,' energy agency head tells AP

    Jump

  • I'd be interested into some data on this topic.

    My undersranding is plane is one of the most polluting mode of transportation, all things being equal. It probably vary a lot depending on the specific ship/plane, route, ...

    Data from the UK's Department for Energy Securityand Net Zero (2022) shows the carbon footprint is 8x higher for short/long-haul fight than for ferry. (CO2eq per passenger-km). Carbon footprint is strongly coupled with fuel consumption. It's not quite the same, but I'd expect the ratio to be roughly the same.

  • Europe has 'maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,' energy agency head tells AP

    Jump

  • Right, I know nothing except it seems to involve jet fuel. This is a general comment on vacations by plane, don't take it personally.

  • Europe has 'maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,' energy agency head tells AP

    Jump

  • If oil shortage is severe enough and long lasting, we might see passenger ships coming back for transatlantic travel. How badly do you need to cross the atlantic?

  • Europe has 'maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,' energy agency head tells AP

    Jump

  • Vacations doesn't require jet fuel.

    Relatively few people in the world visit the other side of the world by plane. For our sake it should remain a rare occurrence. For most vacations, there's plenty of places that one can reach by train and bus.

    If your area has shitty train infrastructure or too few bus lanes, I'm sorry, you may want to have a close look at where your taxes are going.
