Macron is definitely not a centrist. He’s a rightoid like most other French presidents.

30% might be a bit much, but Apple and Google are offering ongoing services for the price you pay as a developer. From hosting, to payment processing and APIs you can use in your apps, I think what they’re offering has some monetary value that would be acceptable if it wasn’t so damn much. I don’t think it’s toxic rent-seeking in and of itself. What’s pretty toxic is that there’s no way around those fees on Apple phones and tablets.

They may have the resources, but getting them where they’re needed can be a challenge. Russia has demonstrated multiple times it’s lacking in terms of logistics capabilities, but I think it could happen to any country, even the best organized.

That, and they might be selling the oil and gas abroad to finance the war.

These are just conjectures. I don’t have any proof.

Probably because it’s more efficient. GPUs are designed to render things, which editors do. In a text editor, you’re effectively rendering fonts over a fixed background, which I assume is pretty efficient using the GPU.

We’re not talking about crazy 3D effects here.

Yay to battery savings!

The narrative is that he’s the best of the 2, not that he’s a good guy. There’s a choice between a dictator and business as usual (US presidents have consistently supported Israel, and Trump is no exception).

But you knew that already, didn’t you? 😒
