Indeed. I was about to comment "no shit Sherlock".


They also need to report that post-Soviet-Union-collapse Russia was full of former communists. And the post-civil-war southern US was full of former confederates. And the post-...


As french citizen what I can say is: Parliamentary time wasted. During the initial work the deputees that have initiated the project could have figured out that the constitutional court would, in fine, block the text.


Sometimes these things are a prelude to constitutional changes, or at least could be in the minds of the proponents.


Sometimes they do know but do it anyway (or even for that very reason) because it serves their political interests and then the great bill they were supporting is blocked by someone else, which can be blamed as needed.

I think Trump played that game a number of times, for instance.


("-")


Wouldn't it be "-"()?

Everyone else answered “what do you call…”. You are the only one answered OP’s question.


What you describe cant be the reason because then the "access denied" would happen whatever the browser used is.


Some streams of the EarthCam channel (Temple Bar, New Orlean, etc). A bit of Virtual Railroad fans too (Revelstoke, Flagstaff, etc). Truck driving lives (esp. because of engine sounds, good for concentration). During U.S winter storms some random storm-chasers lives.


Yes, every two days or so. An hygiene measure to prevent "history detection attacks". The routine consists into deleting everywith but the passwords. Actually "chrome://settings/clearBrowserData" is even in my fav bar.


That is funny, somewhat works but there's a bias toward the victorian era. https://halupedia.com/the-x128-cpu-architecture. Otherwise I feel sorry for the creator's tokens.


I think it's to do with the LLM prompt, which mentions 19th century, 1887 etc.

Way more suspicious star count looks to be from Zig[1]. That's based on their weird GitHub repo history[2].

In fact the initial negative campaigns initiated by the creators of Zig and Odin against V (and then turned on other languages like C3[4] and Zen C[5]), appeared to have been based on jealousy over supporter donations and GitHub stars.

Zig, has among the weirdest GitHub star history of any language repo seen. Stalled or lower GitHub popularity, then sudden explosion in stars after the release of numerous AI ebooks on Amazon (mid to late 2024). The release of the mostly AI ebooks, were very oddly close together, as if by contract or bounty. Just a strange timeline. Even when Zig moved to Codeberg and their GitHub repo was "frozen", was getting hundreds of stars per month (despite over 3,000 open issues) for a long time, which made no sense.

On the other hand, the vlang repo has always been rated in or near the top 10 of language repos[3] (per year), based on stars, since close to its beginning (from 2019).

Lastly, stars on GitHub are often checked and purged. It's not like Github personnel don't look. A major indicator of fake stars, is that the repo does not have matching activity, contributors, or forks. For instance, like V (when it came into existence), Zen C (4K stars since 2025) had a sudden burst in stars. Allowing it to nearly catch a long time repo like C3 (5K stars since 2019). Does V or Zen C, by gaining stars quickly or having more stars (than a 2019 competitor) mean they are fake?

It's the other indicators that are important too, not just star counts or fan jealousy over other repos having higher star counts.

The truth can not simply be blanked out. Others can not be responsible for refusal to read, research, or any denial of reality.

[1] Zig on GitHub has 3,042 open issues (as of this post)

Note: historical changes in stars given to Zig, per month and year, have been recorded

[3] Vlang has (for years) been ranked as a near or top 10 GitHub repo based on stars

I think Pentium will still be supported. i486 refers to very old 32 bits CPU (80486). The article is not clear but by default I tend to think that i586 and i686 will still be supported.


"Pentium" also refers to a 30-year range of CPUs with very different capabilities. I suspect that removing (say) P5-specific kludges would also not cause too much grief given it's over thirty years old and dates from about the same time as the newer 486s. At some point you need to clean out the cruft a bit.


Support for the Pentium isn't going away now, certainly, and nobody's announced plans to drop it from the Linux kernel, but every architecture has a time horizon.
