Extinguish that !

At equilibrium, I’d say yes.

japps13 , to nostupidquestions in Military Time vs 24hr?

I think I once read that when the metric system was first defined during the French Revolution, they also tried to use a decimal system for time, but that was quickly abandoned.

Impressive chart !

japps13 OP , to startrek in Reading advice after The Fall and Enigma Tales

Is there a full list of novels in this timeline ?

I found Memory Beta First Splinter novels timeline, but it does not have all the novels. In particular, I can’t find either “Collateral Damage” or “Time To” in the list…

japps13 OP , to startrek in Reading advice after The Fall and Enigma Tales

Thank you for the detailed and insightful answer. I’ll bookmark it to decide on the next books to read.

First, the Relaunch Treklit novelverse is a separate continuity from the new television series. I personally prefer a lot of the choices of major political arcs in the Relaunch timeline better than the new shows. Interestingly, the last season of Picard started to bring in some parallels from the books, despite being a very different future for Picard himself.

OK good to know. So I can continue forward and not get spoilt. Does it mean that they have stopped writing for this timeline, now that the new shows are out ?

Una McCormack has a few more Cardassia focused books. If you haven’t read them all yet, I’d suggest those given your preference for her book in the Fall. The book with Dr Pulaski is great and important but should be read after the Bashir S31 sequence if you’re going to do that.

You mean Enigma Tales, and Neverending Sacrifice, or are there others ?

the Voyager books advanced much more slowly through the timeline. I found the Christie Golden books exasperating (mainly due to the constraints out in her by the IP holder). When Kirsten Beyer took over and started the Full Circle sequence she was given freedom to fix many issues. It’s a great set of return to the Delta Quadrant books. Some recommend just starting with ‘Full Circle’ and going forward from there. Beyer takes about the first half of that book catching you up and moving things forward.

As a matter of fact, I remember reading some of the earliest of those Voyager books (paper version). But it is so long ago that I could as well reread them now. What’s “IP holder” ?

Fascinating. I heard something similar with particle pollution in big cities.

japps13 , to worldnews in France Descends into Authoritarianism Following Protests

I am not advocating for violence. However, it is not historically acurate to say that violence has no benefit. As a matter of fact, I can think of instances in the 18th, 19th and 20th century where violent protestors obtained rights or the end of some kind of oppression. I am not sure I can think of even one instance where anyone got anything without some kind of violence (or destruction of private property), even in the 20th century (there was violence in the May 1968 protests, or in the 1936 strikes, etc). The term “sabotage” itself has something to do with workers destroying the workshops by throwing their shoes (called “sabots”) into the machine.

japps13 , to worldnews in France Descends into Authoritarianism Following Protests

Riots like these are what you get when you prevent any other forms of protests: banning protests (illegal but by the time you get through court to get the ban lifted it is too late), making unions and strikes irrelevant by never ever yielding, preventing votes in the National Assembly using pressures on MP and all that the means that our constitution allows to bypass parliament, even though there is no clear majority for whatever you are doing, forcefully removing peaceful protestors, etc There are reasons why unions was good for everyone, elite class included, they allow peaceful resolution of conflict. If you remove all peaceful avenue, there will be people going into the not peaceful avenue.

How do you forward Whatsapp to matrix? Is it two-way?

japps13 , to nostupidquestions in How many people here have actually used XMPP?

Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing. I’m curious: have you considered [matrix] nowadays?

japps13 , to world in Didier Raoult, who popularized hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for covid-19, is being investigated for unauthorized research on homeless people

I am a scientist myself, and I know what the HCERES says about his institute, and also that his institute no longer had support of the CNRS, which is telling considering that the CNRS only very rarely make such moves, as well as editors no longer accepting his papers leading him to create his own self serving journals. My issues with him are his lack of scientific rigor and lack of scientific ethics. Unfortunately, he’s staining the community as a whole, even though he lost support of several scientific institutions long before the Covid.

This guy is a shame for us all, French academics… sorry World, please know we’re not all frauds….

japps13 , to nostupidquestions in Should I use Matrix for Messaging?

The not so tech savvy family members have trouble with e2e though. They always have problems with device somehow not properly authorized, and some encrypted rooms accessible from the computer but not from the phone. I usually solve it for them regularly, but they still can’t do it by themselves. So I prefer to keep the rooms unencrypted (we are not sharing state secrets anyway), but self-hosted (I don’t want to give away family pictures to big tech companies).
