C’est quoi “les wokes” ?

It could also be, simply, that she’s a lying bastard.

It’s pretty clear from the few mentions of her positions in the article that she has at best a very superficial relationship with facts and the truth.

Non non non, ça ça ne compte pas, ça marche pas comme ça ! Cest la liberté de faire comme les autres et pas autrement (surtout quand mon industrie en dépend).

Kinda. They are better than most, but don’t score that well on Ethical Consumer’s grading. (I could look up why, if anyone’s interested.)

And while they do offer free repair, which is wonderful and something i genuinely command them for doing, the results can be hit or miss. I had a pair of jeans with pretty standard areas worn out come back from a repair with a massive piece of mismatched denim covering almost the entire upper part of the pants. Unwearable. I ended up having to pay a local shop to redo the repair properly. And the Patagonia customer rep didn’t seem to see the problem with the repair and offered… 15% off my next order.

I’m assuming that’s a funny sarcastic take, given the sub we’re on.

Suse is a lot smaller than Red Hat. Amazon with their Amazon Linux rebuild of RHEL (is that still the case?) are auch larger danger to Red Hat than Suse.

Oracle is a nasty piece of work of a company, and also just push a RHEL clone (“Unbreakable Linux”, hence the Red Hat shirts “Unfakeable Linux”).

Oh no. Can we please stop pushing (Open)PGP / GPG?

Fuck if that will happen.

They can’t even agree to limit coal, they can’t care about rocks, so sentient beings?

Why? Refugees welcome.

That’s the problem with this generation, no capacity to appreciate delayed dissatisfaction!

Le titre en question :

Dérapage des finances publiques : Gabriel Attal estime devant le Sénat avoir pris des « décisions fortes »

L’ancien premier ministre a par ailleurs défendu son ministre de l’économie, Bruno Le Maire, jugeant « scandaleux » le « procès politique, médiatique » qui lui est fait, et saluant son « obsession de désendetter la France ».

This is a perspective than can only be held in a political system that has devolved to a two-party system.

If you step out of that, it stops making sense. A democracy allows for people to express their actual opinion. Anything less than that is not a proper democracy. I’d argue there are no “third parties” in a proper democracy.

You might be saying that the American regime is illegitimate, it’s unclear.

Entirely agree. The people responsible for trump getting votes are the people voting for Trump.

Tactical voting is bullshit of the highest order and the undeniable sign of a fucked up political and voting system, not some sort of political astuteness.

If your voting system can’t allow people to express their true choice, you should throw it away. Yes, that means the majority of voting systems around the world are bad and need to be changed. Getting people to recognise that this is even an issue in the first place is a huge battle.

Excellent, thanks for sharing this.

This tells you more how disconnected and entitled at the lack of personal consequences these people are than how stupid they are, I think.

They’re not dumb, they’re just convinced it’s not going to cause them any personal damage to say this.

Yes, we need to stop thinking “battery” and broaden to energy storage as a whole, which can take many more forms (wind up a big coil! Push things uphill!).

You could actually put some thought into what you devote the energy to, and if wanting to do a blockchain based system, run Stellar or Ethereum nodes. Though they don’t use Proof of Work, so it would not use that much energy, relatively. You could offer supercomputing as a service that run batch jobs during the peak hours though.

I mean, “economy” fundamentally is the allocation of limited resources, if something is limited at a point when it’s needed, then economical doesn’t sound like the wrong word to use? (I’m aware economical means cheap, BTW)

A thing you can use which gets forgotten often in the conversation is “natural” / physical batteries, or better put stores of latent energy. Essentially, “push heavy thing up hill, make it come down later”.

I know little about it, but you can release the kinetic energy stored in heavy objects at higher altitudes basically whenever, using say a dynamo on the wheels of a wagon of heavy rocks you previously pushed uphill.

Isn’t one the issues with hydrogen motors that they are a bit explodey? Genuine question, haven’t looked into it in a long time.
