Are you saying Nazis are your allies?

tycho ,

You know Nazis also despise the left and would do anything to put you in camps if they could. They are not allies. You are falling in the exact trap described by this article, trying to attract leftists on the few subjects they appear to have in common to make the Nazis appear normal or even allies.

We have them in France too :(

tycho ,

What? There is no hard g sound afaik.

tycho ,

Wow didn’t know about this metric :(

tycho ,

I dont think anyone will come to share this knowledge with us since it could be used by newspapers website to block the archiving.

France is making a large part of its own defense system (fighter jet, navy ships, etc.) and for it to be financially viable, sells some models to other countries. One very good client is Saudi Arabia. You will never hear criticism from this government against Saudis.

I love this vibe. I’m getting back on MATE and the feeling is great. No fluff, just simple features!

tycho ,

To be frank, I’m amazed by this announcement. I take TER every weekend and a two-way trip is 108€, 54€ (-50%) if you get the yearly pass which costs 30€. This would save me so much money.

Yes it doesn’t encompass TGV but with this 49€ ticket you can potentially get rid of many car commuters which is already a good thing :)

tycho ,

From the article:

The pass will also cover local bus, metro, and tram travel, “if possible,” Beaune said. The full details have not yet been finalised.

Of course, I’m not particularly confident that they will actually cover this but at least they are thinking about it.

tycho ,

One crazy idea: tax kerosene and use this to fund this ticket which will now also have TGV 😅

Mexico is likely to get its first female president after top parties choose 2 women as candidates (apnews.com)

With the selection of former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum as the candidate of the country’s ruling party in next June’s election, Mexico will for the first time have time two women from its main political movements competing for the presidency....

Abortion is decriminalised, so it’s still not legal but it falls under civil law which is not as harsh as criminal law.

Edit: I misread the article, you can legally get an abortion at federal health facilities. I don’t know about state health facilities.

tycho ,

Yes, but afaik corrosion is still a big issue in these designs so they are not ready for commercial use.

Been using protonmail for my main email for three years, never had one issue. But I’m in Europe, maybe in the US it’s different?

Pirating Microsoft Office 2019 on Linux?

for some background, I’m on latest stable Kubuntu. able to use Microsoft Office via a KVM+Winapps setup currently. it mostly works but there are a few kinks like the display frame getting fucked up when going full screen or windowed, drag and drop being hit or miss and whatnot…...

tycho ,

You can enable ribbon-like top toolbar in LibreOffice, I find it less confusing coping from MS Office. I’ve worked a lot in MS Office and LibreOffice so don’t hesitate to ask :)

tycho ,

I enabled them for each application. Don’t know if there are some global options sorry :(

tycho ,

Happy I could help :)

Phones should have 2 USB C ports

One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It’s a shame it’s not a thing, USB is...

tycho ,

Many countries not so well off like us in the West do not have the luxury to have a smartphone and a computer. So options with 2 USB ports would be interesting. The bastardisation of the smartphone is a disgrace.

tycho ,

What I call bastardisation is the many steps stopping us from using our phone as general computing platforms. Our phones have no reason to be confined by software locks like locked bootloaders, root login, etc.

As for the lack of 2 USB ports, it pictures that phones where never thought as general purpose computers. Maybe two ports is not the way to go but the lack of an interface which can act as a display output and a USB connection like what we have now with Thunderbolt on the desktop is a shame. The inability to turn my phone, which is more powerful than my current laptop, into a normal computer unencumbered by software and hardware restrictions is a shame.

The path taken by Pinephones and their Linux ecosystems is a step in the right direction. It shows that smartphone companies can do better.

As you said, it’s basic economics, it’s more profitable for them if we buy a new phone every two years, so they lock us out of our properties with software and hardware restrictions because they can.

tycho ,

I read the (original?) article on the Verge covering this and my understanding is that it’s not an issue. The files/folders way of thinking is already a metaphor for 0s and 1s scattered around on silicon. Using a “laundry basket with a search robot” isn’t inherently a worse way to store data than a “file system with hierarchy”.

We are just used to one way and the other baffles us because it goes against our way of thinking about 0s and 1s scattered on silicon.

Looks like there are tags available on MacOS and Windows.

Didn’t find official windows article on this, but plenty of other news outlet reported on this.
