With this parliament the military will stay and grow and become more and more unavoidable. Service citoyen would have countered that…

That’s an option I would accept too.

What is not well enough reprensented in this post is that the Service Citoyen was not only about makimg women do a mandatory service. It was to transform the outdated and regressive mandatory service for men into a more general service to the collective that treated security not as a entirely militaristic issue but as a wholistic one.

Now parliament will interpret this as a mandate to cull the existing useful civil service and force every men (and potentially women too) into the military.

I don’t think trains would require so much energy :)

Oh that was funny because that is very real. And I’m only 26!

My professors for the CS class on Parallelism and concurrency was making an analogy between different functions and lego bricks. At one point presenting a function and the associated lego brick, decorated with nice flames, he droped: “This lego brick turns out to be so good that it is litterally on fire”. I liked that.

Do not check where the carpet goes

970 gang!

that’s scary how dementia works :'(

Sorry 'bout that

Everyone should have adblocker. It is the moral thing to do. Ads are badly supporting creators as it promotes a race to the clickbaitiest, and centralisation around plateforms that can do arbitrary censorship. Just let the add business-model crumble and what will remain will be qualitatively better.

Just a guess about what a world withour ad-supported platforms could look like:

There will be fewer 4k videos of everything. But there will be options to pay for great content that is not made to boost your dopamine and is better for creators. Collaborative tools like wikipedia will strive, and we will see a return to blogs as a way to share knowledge freely as it requires little ressources to host. LLM generated blogs will disappear as there will be little incentive for the publisher. The cost of hosting and computer hardware will drop as we’ll use way less ressources with low quality addictive content (that are used as a vehicle for ads)

You guys get ICE recruitment ads ??? what the heck

Thank you for your assessement

Would releasing the Epstein files matter in anyway for Trump? Everyone that can be swayed by evidence already knows Trump is in there…

And the stuff the republicans are doing is terrible in it’s own rights, saying “don’t care, release the Epstein files” seems to be downplaying the situation.

I am open to being taught like a five year old, how continued focus on the Epstein files is a good progressive strategy.

There is also Sense in Frieren! So she was not the last!

Recently I was trying to fall asleep and it was 2:59, and I closed my eyes for what I thought was a really small time and it was 2:00 again 😭

Drivers would not be inconvenienced by people crossing the street if they were not so big. People on foot (or even bikes) pass each other seemlessly unless it’s really dense. The fault of drivers having to wait at an intersection with people on foot is their own.

Here again, drivers block to only legal way for people on foot. I think it’s fair to just go over.

Edel, is that you?

I am blessed and honoured. Thanks!

That’s the same order of magnitude, so still correct!
