Don't worry, now that we have a right-wing government for some reason, they will finally fix our spendings by slashing public expenses in education, accessibility, healthcare, and instead will give even more to corporations and billionaires. Don't forget a sprinkle of racism and LGBTQIA-phobia and we're set!

It's not Swedish specific though. In French it's the same, you "take" a decision

Agreed. Combined with a jellyfin instance and you will never want to come back. As said before, it takes a while to setup at first (especially if you download animes which aren't exactly handled the same way), but when it's done you'll see you weekly episodes magically appear with nothing to do on your side, and that's just great

It seemed to have been a bet that the left would be completely divided so that he could place his party as the defender against the far right in order to get an absolute majority (he only had a relative majority until now)

That didn't work because the left parties managed to create a united front in less than a week.

But let's not forget the following: yes, the left parties have a relative majority (or at least should given the last estimations), but the far right did gain a lot of seats in the elections compared to last time. So yeah it could have been worse, but it's not exactly a comfortable situation either

French here, yeah it kinda is. Or at least it's rare but not exceptional I guess, at least for fluvial transport (barges and other similar types of ships)

It's usually not that bad, and at most requires some reinforcement of the bridge, or at least the removal of some parts of the ship that were embedded in the bridge example here in France.

Ooooooh so that's why my face changed when I changed my first name. I thought it was the hormones, but no, t'was the new name!

As far as I know, gadgetbridge does not support tizenOS smartwatches

Yes, that's exactly what they're doing. If you have a Patreon, you must choose between increasing patreon price on Apple specifically compared to Android and Web, or you can keep the price the same, in which case you will earn less from users using iOS in-app purchase

The issue with French is that, even if you use a kinda not gendered pronoun, the entire language is still heavily gendered.

If you use "iel" then what does follow? Masculine, feminine, or the kinda neutral inclusive writing using a dot? For me that's where the biggest friction is, because the solution is harder to find than inventing new pronouns.

For non French speakers, the sentence "he is nice" would be translated as "il est gentil" and the sentence "she is nice" would be translated as "Elle est gentille"

Now, how do we write "they are nice"

  • iel est gentil (masculine)
  • iel est gentille (feminine)
  • iel est gentil.le (neutral inclusive)

So yeah, that's really complicated because the language is clearly not created with that in mind.

Well, all airlines certified by Nepal (it's not the only country concerned by this, but it is concerned) are banned from flying in Europe for safety reasons.

It's not specified why, but reasons can be lack of oversight, lax regulations. All of that usually causes maintenance issues, lack of training, bad safety processes.

I also read the report, which states that the main factors for the crash are

  • lack of training (including crew resource management)
  • non compliance with standard operating procedure
  • challenging visual approach causing high workload

So basically the pilots were experimented (they were definitely not new pilots at all), but the approach was difficult, did not meet safety standards, documentation for it was not up to date, and pilots were not sufficiently trained, and did not respect standard procedure in the cockpit either.

That's a systemic error and it would have happened at one moment, regardless of the pilots.

(my source for the report https://www.tourism.gov.np/files/1/9N-ANC%20FINAL%20Report.pdf )

There's been driverless subway for decades though, if it's intracity travel (which seems the case here), then it makes sense.

Maglev doesn't, as many pointed out

You said it yourself: you had spent a lot of time learning the patterns, but had grown frustrated by that time. Basically you'd have two choices

  • what you did, and finish the fight easily using summons (which is easy only because you already spent a lot of time learning the boss)
  • decide to do it without summon, and maybe have the satisfaction to win without help, or submit yourself to too much frustration, rendering the victory meaningless because at the end it had become a chore, and not fun at all.

At the end of the day, the most important element is to have fun. But even with summons, victory is never underserved, those games are still brutal.

I do basically the same, but using GNU Stow instead of doing the ln myself

Especially since the B747 is way better than the A380 as a cargo plane, which removes an alternative for the A380

Yeah, i always try to connect as much as I can to ethernet cables. The issue being that it's sometimes a pain to install the cables, especially if you're renting and can't really pass wires through walls

My car uses a mix of GPS and camera, and I'm using Android Auto, which uses only GPS. There are several cases where both are wrong either

  • because the camera got confused by signs
  • the GPS data are not up to date

So yeah that's going to be fun... Like my car telling me I should drive a 30 limit instead of 110 on the highway (did happen several times)

Actually, the way it's formulated is fairly negative.

It's written "the law determines the condition on which the guaranteed freedom to abortion is applied" (sorry for the unprecise translation, it's written in law language, so hard to really translate).

Which basically means three things.

It's considered a "freedom", not a "right". While it's been said that freedom and right means the same, it could very well not be the case in the future. And a freedom can be restricted, while a right is guaranteed.

"the law determines the condition" means that it can be restricted as wanted by the parliament, so it exists, but could be extremely restricted in the future.

Finally "women" is not neutral as a term, and voluntarily excludes trans people wanting to perform an abortion.

Not a lawyer, so my explanation is probably not that great, but yeah... It's really not as great as it's said to be.

Here's a source for what I explained (in French) : https://lesaf.org/constitutionnalisation-de-livg-un-leurre-grossier/

Lilly, Luna, Sarah, Zoe

Square wheels + overpriced in the game + literally a single storage space in the vehicle. That was a great shitpost from them

Yeah got a galaxy watch 2 classic years ago and it needs charging every day now, and it sometimes randomly drains the battery in like 1 hour.

But I'm honestly surprised of its longevity, it outlasted 2 phones

Actually yeah I do. I followed this guide which is really nice. I did need to add a few more sources manually depending on how popular a given anime is, but it's really useful anyway

Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up unfortunately

Who talks to their neighbors in this day and age? They'll probably vote for the party who wants my death anyway so yeah...

I mean yeah sure we could be surprised, but things aren't really going in the right direction

Yeaaaah, that's really not that common. In many places the only thing that's been going up is the price (also the amount of ads before the movie)

I have the same issue, and I had to use a Mac for work, didn't have a choice in that matter.

I didn't know about AeroSpace though, sounds interesting. Currently I'm using Amethyst which provides tiling, but it's not i3/sway-like, so not perfect.

And there were some really great levels in the campaign, that was a fun game

Yeah you can. Although it's hard on the computer, and depending on the type of plane, it might not be really playable in terms of controls (an airliner for instance)

Games like Elite Dangerous or Star Wars Squadron are really fun in VR though

Yeah no, don't go to France, seems like we're trying to speedrun the road to fascism, so might not be a great plan either...

Honestly I reserve my judgment to when the anime finishes. The game really improves on its second part, which has not been adapted yet (but should come this year)

Yeah, this is one of the seasons the Pirate party is pushing for a unique ballot, because the current format is really unfavorable towards small parties that don't have the means to print the ballots among other things

Yeah I went back from Contabo tbh, as you said, I had several outages, the worst of which lasted several days with absolutely no information, nor response from the support. (My VPS had all the symptoms of a broken disk, which was extremely worrying)

That, plus the subscription fees, it's not something I would advise today

Yeah Sekiro is one of those games where being in the flow, parrying everything almost without thinking is sooooo satisfying.

The issue is that there really is just one way to play the game, if you don't parry you probably won't go too far, so of the gameplay doesn't click, it's just not a good experience

Authelia is a oidc provider, but does not support oidc as a provider, only local file and ldap. So it really depends on your use case

For the bread, I usually buy sliced bread at the bakery, or you can slice it yourself. And I freeze it. I always unfreeze it in the toaster and it's basically perfect and takes no effort

Oh my god, same. Tycoons, City Builders like Transport Fever or Cities Skyline. I don't play them for months or years, then I spend like a week playing for hours and forgetting time, then I stop again for months

I haven't had a very good experience with leantime tbh, I tried a bit and went to taiga, which is also self hosted, quite easy to use, and does what I need

You're correct. In addition you could strafe using left/right C buttons, and you could look up/down using up/down C buttons, but that was awkward and not really designed to aim.

But we also must remember that those games had an auto lock system. Your character would actually target the ennemies by himself, you would only use the crosshair to dona headshot when you have time to aim, or to aim at a specific object in the game.

But yeah, that seems so clunky compared to what we have today

Cries in 3 years waiting time (France)

Woops yeah, fixed it. I think some spacing between the parenthesis and the link would have also worked

Concerning your edit, not sure about other countries, but I can speak about the process in France.

We get (normally) ballots with the programs in the mail before the elections, so we can also bring ballots from there. Then the way it works when voting is

  • there's a table with ballots from all lists that provided them (so missing the ones we're talking about here) and you can take any number of them
  • then you go isolate in a cabin where you put the ballot you want, or nothing, inside an envelope
  • finally your identity is verified, your vote is counted and you put your envelope in a transparent box

So there's not really a way to definitely know you're voting for an unlisted candidate here.
