  • I don't know why the last sentence is hidden under a trending articles list, but it's rather telling:

    “It’s gonna be a beautiful opening ceremony,” Gloppe says. “If there is no terrorist attack.”

    And living in Paris, I cannot help but fear there can be attempts at attacks. I work near near the city center and since Monday I have seen a lot more police officers patrolling, they seem to be on high alert.

  • Is Sainz going to end up without a seat because he could not make up his mind?

  • I just set it up following your comment but I cannot figure out how to set it up in order to type in different languages without changing keyboards.

  • I did not catch on the Figma AI news, but now I can't wait for every website and mobile app to look the same 🙃

  • Have you thought of practicing a sport in a club / team? I find that it's a good way to focus on something else than my issues and it helps to socialize.

  • I use Readeck which has a few extra features over Pocket and bookmarks: offline copy, sharable link to said copy, highlights, bookmarks collection and the ability to export saved articles to ebook. Oh and it's self-hostable.

    Personnaly, I mostly use it to bookmark and highlight articles I have read, with some bookmarked to read later.

  • Perez only out-qualified the Alpines in Q2 & Q3 and qualifed 0.8s behind Hamilton makes me wonder why he's still driving the second Red Bull.

  • Ah yes, classic tech solutionism.

    "No need to be frugal, the tech will evolve and fix the causes of climate change!"

    We need a solution right now, not in a decade, dumb ass. So frugality is the answer.

  • Apparently it was not enough for them to get FOM to no longer offer F1TV Pro to new subscribers 🙃

  • Way to push Fortune 200 companies towards Azul, Adoptium, Correto and other alternative Java distributions, Oracle!

  • No, not at all, just that it wouldn't make sense financially to put the resources to create a broadcast (and replays) exclusive to France, so they chose to not provide replays instead.

  • Ads for tobacco have been outlawed for decades (I remember tobacco sponsors being blurred on broadcasts in the early 2000s), but somehow F1TV did not have to comply until now.

  • Well, there are vapes sponsors now (considered as tobacco in French law) and there's the issue of past seasons replays with tobacco sponsors.

  • Your assumptions are valid, but I think it does not make sense to put the resources do this only for a single market and not globally.

  • My guess is that F1TV don't want to bother with blurring every tobacco and vape sponsors in live session and every replays like Canal+ does.

  • Great, now F1TV has become completely useless to me, as I rarely watch Grand Prix sessions live...

    The alternatives are either:

    • trying to subscribe to and watch F1TV from abroad using a VPN (though I understand there has been a recent crackdown)
    • subscribe to Canal+, which costs 30€ a month
    • sail the seven seas?
    • give up F1 and watch WEC?
  • Nice graphic from The Race but I feel like scale is a little bit mismatched. The 2026 car should be slightly bigger, the size of the rear wheels don't match perfectly.

  • Unfortunately improving existing products does not bring additional subscriptions / revenue 🤡
