This used to be a thing on Windows Phone, you could download maps in the settings and they would be available in the default Maps app, but also in HERE Maps, Transit, etc.
I disable all animations everywhere (Android, Windows, Gnome) because I hate that they make me feel like I'm losing time waiting for something that could be instant, and they sometimes make me dizzy. I'm particularly exasperated that iOS doesn't offer that possibility.
But rotating an image is one of the rare use cases where I do want the animation. It makes me see what action happened, with which rotation angle, without having to think twice.
They're not the only ones, Anthropic and Google recently announced they'll be using xAI data centers, and I wouldn't be surprised if AWS also started to have capacity problems in the near future.
Is it me or does the App Store website look... fake? The text in the header ("Productiviteit", "Alleen voor iPhone") looks pixelated, like it was edited on Paint, the header background is flickering, the app icon and screenshots are very low quality, the title of the website is incomplete ("App Store voor iPho...")
Genuine question: how did the IBM acquisitions of Red Hat and HashiCorp turn out?
For Red Hat, there's no longer an official "public" distribution of RHEL, but apart from that they seemingly have been left alone and able to continue to develop their own products. But that's only my POV as a user of OSS Red Hat products at home and of RHEL and OpenShift at work.
France is currently developing La Suite numérique[1], which includes email based on Open-Xchange. The German federal government also proposes Open-Xchange in their openDesk suite[2].
Europe’s LNG imports declined by 19% in 2024. The continent’s gas consumption fell by 20% between 2021 and 2024 thanks to renewables deployment and demand reduction policies.
After a while I started to get "Google asks for a login" errors. Should I just keep going? There's no indication on what I should do on the ArchiveTeam wiki
The French language examples on that page are atrocious. One of them starts reading French like a native English speaker, then mid-sentence switches to a proper accent. Another one does some words with a Canadian-French accent, but not all of them. And the only one with a proper and constant accent from start to end sounds worse than the default Windows TTS...
Redirects from translated versions of Google or Microsoft documentation to the English one. The Microsoft ones are okay-ish but I strongly prefer reading the original version. And the Google ones are a patchwork of machine-translated nonsense, "powered by Google Cloud Translation API"
I would add that PBS has this to say about public media funding:
The U.S. is almost literally off the chart for how little we allocate towards our public media. At the federal level, it comes out to a little over $1.50 per person per year. Compare that to the Brits, who spend roughly $100 per person per year for the BBC. Northern European countries spend well over $100 per person per year.
And it really shows in the health of their of their public broadcasting systems. They tend to view those systems as essential democratic infrastructure. And, indeed, data show that there is a positive correlation between the health of a public broadcasting system and the health of a democratic governance.

I still don't understand where Jetbrains is going with Fleet. Is it a platform to prototype ideas for their IDEs? Is their long-term goal to replace their IDEs with Fleet? Is it just a standalone product?
So far, it seems like they're very slowly recreating their IDEs from scratch in Fleet while continuing development on the IntelliJ Platform and related IDEs, doing twice as much work for nothing.
I've seen the exact same problem on my mother's Mac and it's making her crazy. Haven't found a corresponding bug report, but it's sort of reassuring she's not alone with that annoying bug
In Paris, a city that for the past 5 years has greatly reduced car usage (with an "anti-car agenda" as this "article" calls it), has seen emergency response time decreased because ambulances can use cycling lanes:
I've done the same thing with dizqueTv for my grandmother. On her Android TV, I was able to integrate the IPTV channels on the same channels list, so she can simply use the remote to navigate between the digital channels and the IPTV channels (30 for Hercule Poirot, 31 for classic B&W movies, etc.)
I never found the mobile apps to be slow (they're "semi-native", made in Xamarin, in the same way React Native is "semi-native"). The Android integration is not great (it misses password fields sometimes) but this is because of the platform itself, not the current app architecture.
The Electron app (for desktop) and browser extensions are indeed slower than they could be, and native mobile apps won't fix that.
