I understand why [you] think too many people have died.
Like it’s a fucking matter of opinion… “Some may think there are too many dead babies, but hey, some feel that there are not enough! So really we should meet in the middle and decide on an acceptable number of dead babies which satisfies both parties.”
Sure, but in every picture? Including some where he’s supposed to actually have fun?
One thing about him I saw in a Lemmy comment a couple months back, is that in every picture of him smiling, if you hide his mouth you’re left with his lifeless eyes, it’s like he was told how you’re supposed to smile when you’re cheerful so he goes through the motions but he’s not entirely sure what the point is. It works with all the pictures of him I came across since then, including the thumbnail of this post.
No, a bêtise is when a kid spills her milk or breaks a toy.
In this context I think they use the word as an euphemism for cheating on your spouse, as that’s the defense of most of the accused: they thought it was a kink and that Gisèle Pelicot had given her consent.
The point is also to minimize potential damages caused by a bug in the software. Just this year there have been multiple data-destroying bugs in publicly released software. If the app runs as a server it’s usually trivial to have it run as a dedicated user, with just enough permissions to do its job.
It’s just good practice, even though the risks might be low why risk it at all?
I used Ubuntu at work a couple of years ago. When they announced the switch to snaps I didn’t really care, but when they switched Firefox to the snap version it had quite a few issues like really slow startup, inconsistent theming, and problems with some extensions. So I uninstalled the snap, installed the standard DEB and went on with my work.
But then the issues came back, and it took me some time to figure out they had replaced the actual DEB package with an unholy shim which just installed the snap. THAT really pissed me off, so when I got a new laptop I just installed Arch and my only regret was not doing it sooner.
For a couple of people I know, the answer would be: “This is obviously terrible, yes, but we need to preserve our traditional values at all costs, otherwise Muslim immigrants will replace us”.
That’s what he said, under oath, during his divorce.
and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of the Negroes
Could you explain this sentence please? English isn’t my first language and I can’t make sense of it.
I don’t know, I’m far from being an expert but from what I’ve read immigrants have been sold a paradise and are under immense pressure to succeed because their whole family or even village pooled their resources together for the wonderboy to go to Europe and make it. When they call back home they don’t give bad news, they just say everything is great even if they spend their days begging under a bridge. And so the cycle repeats.
Anyways, it’s been this way for decades, if the free market had any influence on the human trafficking industry it would have kicked in by now…
Economics works there too, though. More passages means lower ticket prices, and at some point people will actually be able to demand “luxuries” like standing room, or else not use that guy.
Nah they already paid upfront, they’re scared and disoriented, and even if they knew of another smuggling outfit there’s no way they’re demanding anything. Smugglers beat or even kill their clients for the pettiest shit, to make an example and make sure everyone behaves.
Like it or not, ads are still the most popular way to pay for online content. I despise ads and I hope some kind of micro-payment solution catches on and offers an alternative, but until then there needs to be a way to reward people for their work, so ads and full-on subscriptions it is.
“Donating boats” to human traffickers won’t fix anything, they already have the resources, they’re just scum who provide the absolute minimum without regard for human life.
If you want to help (and piss off the far-right) you can donate to sea rescue NGOs.
I have friends from high school who fell into the alt-right rabbit hole. They are obsessed with transgenderism. If you believe their depressing timelines, trans people are absolutely everywhere, behaving like total degenerates and grooming kids left and right. They send me an unhealthy amount of videos to prove their claims.
Meanwhile in the real world, I’ve encountered maybe 5 trans people that I recognized as such, and they were behaving normally, and not one tried to groom my kids! But if I tell them that they dismiss it on account of my woke mind virus / Trump derangement syndrome. They’re single, don’t have kids, and spend most of their time doomscrolling or watching the French version of Fox News, but they know better than me what’s going on in my kids’ school…
I know “security experts” from a top French bank who insisted on using telegram instead of signal. So even people who were supposed to stay informed about this stuff fell for the hype and marketing.
Yeah, while Gaben is still at the helm…
OK so this is most likely by design, impressive.
Does the timer “jump” to the correct time after you dismiss the window ? It’s also possible that they didn’t bother testing the app when logged out, and that the popup blocks the UI thread while it’s displayed. In short it could be bad coding and QA instead of intentional enshittification.
If you read the article you’ll see that the author takes issue not with the inclusion itself, but the hamfisted way in which it is included. Pandering can be fine, but when it’s just checking boxes in a cringy, lazy way it’s not, and worse it becomes fodder for the gamergate type to rage about.
