Fun fact: they already tried. In the same law where they tried to ban E2EE a few months ago. It went about as well as you’d expect.

Funny, the same question is being asked for the Bolloré empire right now. Are we seeing the end of regressionist media empires era, like with Berlusconi?

Have you looked at itch.io’s list of games in the genres you like playable in web browsers? Found a few hidden gems in other genres (e.g. idlers) there.

Microsoft is also after those juicy administrative contracts, and right now, with US-skepticism sky-rocketing everywhere in Europe, they are terrified that the EU might mandate that administrations have to use (or, at least, have to use more in the coming years) European-made software.

Loosing those EU contracts wouldn’t just be lost money at a time where Microsoft is pumping more and more money into AI with not a single cent of profit on the horizon, it’s also leaving the door open for a competitor to gain worldwide legitimacy and challenge their monopoly in business software.

And that is worst case scenario for them. That’s why every tech giant has been pourring billions into trying to capture the chinese market. Because where they did not succeed, another brand started taking their place.

How would you feel if, in the coming years, a good chunk of the EU administration were to switch to Nextcloud? If, following that move, ISPs started providing those same services to end user? If more and more people switched from MS Office to other office suites that ACTUALLY follow standards and are interoperable? Would one’s reasons for staying with the MS Ecosystem in general crumble?

And if you think that’s not possible, remeber where Yahoo was, and where they are now. In the recent Google trial, there were internal memos showing that Google was actually concerned about DuckDuckGo, and had to prepare a strategy to ripost just in case. DDG has 0.3% percent marketshare.

All giants have clay legs, it’s just a matter of making them bend the knee :)

Isn’t Powerwash Simulator kinda that, just in reverse?

Never heard of this. Is this a Spore-like game?

Merci de la clarification. Je préfère demander au cas où car un éditorial peut tout aussi être un article écrit par la direction de la rédaction (plutôt que son ensemble).

Merci du fil intéressant ! Le truc qui en ressort le plus pour moi (et qui malheuresement me comforte dans la désilusion que j’ai par rapport à ce parti), c’est cette confirmation qu’il est autoritaire et ne permet pas les écarts.

Avoir une voix unie est, certes, très avantageux pour avancer ses sujets et grandir électoralement, mais le côté ne jamais remettre en question le grand chef tarni l’image du mouvement même si sa base millitante est saine. J’attends de voir ce que le livre dont l’article parle fait ressortir une fois qu’il sera publié après que le cirque médiatique soit fini.

Le titre de l’article est

Face aux inégalités de patrimoine, la nécessité d’un nouveau pacte fiscal

Pourquoi l’avoir changé ? Autant le contenu est intéressant, autant ça ressemble à une tribune. Je suis assez d’accord avec le contenu mais vu son côté opaque (pas d’auteur spécifié, très peu de sources etayées et il a fallu les chercher dans d’autres articles), je suis un peu mal à l’aise pour le recommander.

Macron’s also trying to entice foreign researchers into France with grants and the benefits of our social security while simultanously breaking both apart. He’s a liberal politician, his face is on our dictionary’s entry for ‘hypocrit’.

Nintendo 0%

Doubtful. These numbers provided are completely wrong. Back when files were leaked during this very trial, Epic revealed they had 3 to 4 times more players on Playstations than Xboxes everywhere other than the US.

Accorsing to Statista (accesible on a third party site if you want to avoid registring), Xbox only has 23% of the market (as opposee to PS’s 45% and Nintendo’s 27%).

I don’t like Microsoft, and I agree sideloading should be a thing on consoles too, but they definitely do not hold a majority of the console market, let alone a monopoly.

“Oh come of it! It’s just a few lines of code, not rocket science!”

Narrator: It was EXACTLY rocket science.

EU Commission and Council are indeed not elected directly, but the Parliement who propose and vote laws is. The way it works is similar to a parlementary republic (where coalitions of parties that includes >50% of MEPs make a governement together).

It’s as democratic as democratic gets on that scale.

The incredible CrossCode! Absolute gem of a game I wouldn’t have discovered eight eyars back if they didn’t have any Linux support.

It’s reviewed poorly because it just came out and is missing a lot of features (read DLCs) and bug fixes the previous civs already have. That and there is no British civ yet (unless they’ve added them recently-ish).

Didn’t play much of Humankind, but from what I’ve heard, it was a great concept, but it lacked a lot of polish and got a little overhyped when it came out as the ‘Civilization killer’.

Last I heard about this, they did not fully commit on a singular technical solution yet. The closest I know being NGI Taler (FLOSS, created by a Swiss company, and plans a lauch in Euro this year), but it doesn’t support offline payments yet, unlike what the digital euro’s brochures say.

Hopefully this will be resolved, but I hear this is a very polarized subject since it would remove a lot of powers from the banks (by concentrating it around the ECB), and they are lobying heavily against it, and the right wing is listening.

Je trouve ça étrange qu’il n’y ai pas eu de case ‘je ne sais pas’ dans la question sur la loi sur l’inéligibilité. Je sais qu’en tant que Français, on est culturellement obligé d’avoir un avis sur toutes les questions politiques, mais j’ose imaginer qu’il y a quand même une partie des sondés qui n’étaient pas sur non ?

Cet abri antiatomique, niché dans les sous-sols du palais et comportant une cage de Faraday, a accueilli en mai 2017 le premier CDSN du quinquennat Macron. “Contrairement à ce qui se pratiquait avant, il nous avait été demandé de laisser nos téléphones à l’entrée, dans une boîte, confie l’un des participants. Certains, comme Pierre de Villiers [chef d’état-major des armées, NDLR] avaient râlé, mais le vrai scandale était surtout que depuis l’affaire Snowden, nous continuions à venir en CDSN avec nos téléphones.”

P A R D O N ?! Sous Hollande et Sarkozy, tous nos conseils de défense étaient menés par des gens qui guardaient leur tels pendant les meeting classé secret défense ?! Et on parle de Snowden, mais ça veut dire que l’État Français NE SAVAIS PAS QUE LES É.-U. FAISAIENT ÇA AVANT ?!

Je rêve. Je suis pas souvant d’accord avec Macron, mais là, je dois lui reconnaitre qu’il avait plus que raison sur ce point.

De retour d’un voyage en Israël, le président avait missionné ce dernier pour bâtir le Beer Sheva français, en référence au célèbre campus cyber public-privé israélien implanté dans le désert du Néguev. La copie présentée en conseil de défense par Guillaume Poupard quelques mois plus tard, en 2019, sera étrillée par le chef de l’État qui s’emportera contre un projet “statocentré” et enjoindra au polytechnicien de se rendre à Beer Sheva. La deuxième mouture, davantage conforme aux désidératas présidentiels, sera la bonne.

Pas sur que prendre Israël de tous les pays comme modèle pour notre futur soit la meilleure des idées. Certes, ils sont compétents sur la technique, mais le management et les méthodes… on ne crée pas une marine en s’inspirant de la piratrie (à moins que ce soit pour apprendre comment les contrer, auquel cas je ne dis pas).

It’s not about ‘Google’ vs ‘the other search engines’. It’s about transparency. You’ve probably read some news about how AI crawlers have been destroying infrastrucure and half the time does NOT declare themselves as crawlers in their UA.

Can confirm that nealy 90% (read hundreds of thousands) of daily visits to several of my websites are made by crawlers from datacenters and I HATE not knowing whose who. Because when I don’t know, I block and report. Website owners already have enough between AI, Page Rankings, and Research Agencies who all exploit free infra for their own business.

Do I make exceptions for Search Engine crawlers? Yeah, I do. I’ve seen Google, Bing, and Mojeek, but weirdly enough, never Brave. Now I know why. And frankly, if they can’t be bothered to be transparent about their crawlings, then I won’t be bothered to make exceptions for them. They’re freeloading just as much as the rest. If they act like shady chinese crawlers, then they have no right to go pikachu face when they’re treated like one.

I assume the malicious part is that it phones home without permission, likely tracking users without their consent or informing them.
