I hope that when all online content is entirely AI generated, humanity will put their phone aside and re-discover reality because we realize that the social networks have become entirely worthless.
Readit NewsIf it breaks the law in the EU, then the European employees staffing the data center refuse, because they don't want to go to jail or pay fines.
That's the entire point of setting it up like this.
Think of it like fast-food franchises. They have to sell the same food and use the same branding and charge the same prices. But if McDonald's tells you to start selling cocaine on the side, you tell them nope, that's not in the contract and I don't feel like going to prison.
What if the software is developed and potentially backdoored in the US and deployed by the EU team in the sovereign region? Or did they rewrite the entire AWS stack?

It's also funny considering how here in South America we look at Germany trains (and Switzerland trains)
That's very outdated, DB has been terrible for a long time though. Switzerland is still the best though. Here are some stats for 2025:
https://chuuchuu.com/2025wrapped
Since you have to scroll down quite a bit to get the list of most reliable European trains (with percentage on time):
1. Switzerland 97.8%
2. The Netherlands 93.9%
3. Belgium 88.6%
4. Austria 82.2%
5. France 79.7%
6. Italy 62.0%
7. Germany 58.5%
(Not sure why these are the only countries in the list.)
Keep in mind that a train in Germany counts as one-time if it is less than 6 minutes late. In Switzerland, it's 3 minutes.
Also in Germany, a train that did not even arrive does not count as too late.
There is also a concept of the "Pofalla-Wende", which is when a train is so late that it just does a 180 and drives back, to mitigate that the delay doesn't carry over to the train's next route. Of course, that means that it skips the stations at the end of the route.

Given that I can dump hundreds of TBs into the private container registry without paying anything I'm pretty surprised that they now charge for what is basically providing log streaming and retention.

Just right-click any file in VSCode/Cursor to see how absolutely chaotic and tedious a long menu is without icons. Now imagine that Google Docs example without icons.
It’s much easier to recognize the funnel icon to make a filter, than to skim all that text.
MS Office only has icons for the things that matter most. I think MS even had a UI guideline similar to the one that is cited from apple in TFA, but I cannot find it.
The author doesn't ask for _no_ icons at all. So I really don't get this critique.
Intentionally omitting some icons is a really powerful tool to draw attention to the actions that the user wants to do most of the time. I think that pattern went away in some places because it looks more consistent (that doesn't mean that usability is better) and some designers have some kind of OCD. At least that's what I have experienced in that exact case.

GCC also has an extension to support references to other parameters of the function:
#include <stddef.h>
void foo(size_t n, int b[static n]);
It is not limited to compile-time constants. Doesn't work in clang, sadly.

They have been removing features from the open source version for a while.
The closest alternative seems to be RustFS. Has anyone tried it? I was waiting until they support site replication before switching.
I maintain an S3 client that has a test matrix for the commonly used S3 implementations. RustFS regularly breaks it. Last time it did I removed it from the matrix because deleteObject suddenly didn't delete the object any more. It is extremely unstable in its current form. The website states that it is not in a production-ready state, which I can confirm.
I'd take a look at garage (didn't try seaweed yet).

What a story. EOL the open source foundation of your commercial product, to which many people contributed, to turn it into a closed source "A-Ff*ing-I Store" .. seriously what the ...
Didn't contribute to MinIO, but if they accepted external contributions without making them sign a CLA, they cannot change the license without asking every external contributor for consent to the license change.
As it is AGPL, they still have to provide the source code somewhere.
IANAL, of course
Would love to see a popular option that stays free.
