Two mains reasons:

Attracting investors

Attracting talented workers by signaling they are doing technical research

Also, people working in the industry might not even use those products. They want a cool job not a cool product

Yes. You already know that.

Dersu Urzala from Akira Kurosawa. Great movie about friendship and "civilization" vs life in nature. It was slower and more contemplative

Trap from Night Shyamalan. I had a lot of fun but the movie is average and you will be disappointed if you expect it to be realistic

Yeah, I don’t understand either. Why isn’t he happy to be able to see his family more often? It is great news for when his parents age and when he will have kids

I talk to people who knows people I know. That way I can get a recommendation for a job offer and know at what job offers I might have chances

What’s wrong with trustcafe?

LinkedIn. Needed to find a job in my domain. Also people often talk about their posts. It makes people really happy when I like a post they talked about to me. When I don’t have a job daily.

Tweeter for some very specific events. Something like two weeks a year

Hacker news when I do not have anything to do at work. I say to myself that it is to stay up to date and sometimes I can find nice blogs. I would say something like once a month.

The simple answer is that my favorite country is where my employment and loved ones are

Same for me

Breakup Divesting the Android operating system, used on about 2.5 billion devices worldwide, is one of the remedies that’s been most frequently discussed by Justice Department attorneys, according to the people. In his decision, Mehta found that Google requires device makers to sign agreements to gain access to its apps like Gmail and the Google Play Store.

It would be wonderful

A more interesting figure for British readers – albeit one that should also perhaps be taken with a healthy dose of salt – came in 2019, when a study by Kantar Insights found that, while 51% of UK adults had read a book in the past year, only 34% of readers managed 10 or more – a total pushing them into the ‘heavy readers’ category.

Half of British people did not read a book last year. Of course, you should listen to him!

Thanks for the source

It is reassuring:

Secondly, the world corporate media completely distorted one of President Maduro’s phrases that if he lost the election there would be ‘a bloodbath’. What he meant was that the government programme of the extreme right was so brutal (wholesale privatisation of just about everything under the Venezuelan sun, including oil, gas, education, health, elimination of all social benefits and so forth) that would inevitably bring about a social reaction similar to the one against Milei in Argentina, thus leading a possible right-wing government in Venezuela to resort to force and repression, hence the President’s use of the term “bloodbath”.

I have been listening to the wall from Pink Floyd and Grouppa krovi from Kino

Comment lire l’article derrière le paywall ?

Franchement, les JOs ont été bien pensé. J’y étais défavorable et je suis content que ce soit fini. Mais quel plaisir de voir enfin les investissements faits pour les transports en commun, la rénovation du grand palais et la Seine plus propre. La Seine baignable en été, ce serait incroyable même s’il faudra du temps pour que les mentalités évoluent et que les gens se baignent dedans

I tried ubuntu touch. Not having any banking app was a pain. I was not successful in using signal. WhatsApp is also very used around me. So I gave up.

I wanted to degoogle so I tried iOS. It is absolute garbage.

I think /e/OS, GrapheneOS and CalyxOs are the best to use right now. I might buy a fairphone with /e/OS despite the price when I will change phone, because I do not want to buy a pixel

Not at all. Several countries are debating whether they should work with the talibans to fight ISIS or not

Edit: the Wikipedia page is way more detailed than I expected (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State–Taliban_conflict)

So you think that he cheated and is trying to steal the election? If true, why would he stop now?

Two of Maduro’s closest allies — the leftist presidents of Brazil and Colombia — have recently joined a chorus of nations, including the U.S., that have expressed deep concerns about Sunday’s presidential election, which Venezuelan electoral authorities said the president won by seven points.

I shared this article because of this. Lula supported Maduro before the election but asked Venezuela to release the detailed count of the votes. And Venezuela has not done so yet.

The opposition claims the election is rigged and the tension is high.

Maduro warned that a bloodbath would happen after the election if the opposition didn’t accept his victory.

The situation is worrying for the Venenzuelian people. But you say that how they present the situation is pure propaganda. Do you have a better link?

I was thinking of Adrien Féline (https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k423752r/f42.image). I never heard of Franabugida, but it is very interesting even if I find it harder to read

There were some that were made for french to make the orthography of words easier. They use accents generally. I do not use them and I do not know anyone that uses them.
