Ah… Sorry

I don’t work at an office, but at a bicycle workshop. We just have the one computer at the frontdesk to register sales and new memberships (we’re a non-profit association). So the PC doesn’t have TPM 2.0 so I convinced the board to install linux on it, since it’s a security risk to keep using Windows after it’s going to be discontinued. But that wasn’t easy ! Especially because one of the board member is an Apple fanboy and keep saying things like: “If it’s free, it’s probably not very good”. :[

Only 1000km damn… I know chains don’t last as long on e-bikes but still, that broke quite quickly! I remember some advice from a bike shopkeeper: cheeper chains can be more durable since high-end chains are made for pros who look for lightweight parts above all (but these are less durable as a consequence).

Still putting the US on the same level as Russia in terms of human rights violations is absurd. And the ideal is to improve human rights conditions in both countries, not to argue over which one’s the worst country. Anyway, with how things are going, the US are going to be as bad as Russia in a few years.

Anna Politkovskaya (Novaya Gazeta), Stanislav Markelov (Novaya Gazeta), Anastasia Baburova (Novaya Gazeta) and Natalia Estemirova (Memorial) would like to have a word with you… No wait they can’t, caused they were all killed.

My point is democraties like the US are clearly flawed, but not to the point of assassinating their own citizens. But no point in debating with you, you’re probably an agent hired by Moscow to spread its propaganda.

The comparison is a bit hasty, since in the US your not accused of being a “foreign agent” and imprisoned when you reveal war crimes committed by the army (search about Memorial NGO).

The only reason I kept Windows on my PC was to play League with a friend occasionally. So at some point I removed Windows completely to free disk space and I told my friend he could install Dota 2 if he wants to keep playing with me :D

Damn am I glad I switched to LineageOS

Gascogna!

I’ve been using qwant for a few weeks and it gives me quite satisfying and accurate results. Before I had been using ecosia for years but the results can be lackluster sometimes. Especially when you search very specific “niche” things (like obscure Linux problems troubleshooting). But I’m still looking for a browser which let’s you pick multiple languages for results.

Yes of course, we always used fractions so there was no ambiguity. Last time I saw the division symbol must have been in primary school!

Interesting, I didn’t know about strong implicit multiplication. So I would have said the result is 9. All along my studies in France, up to my physics courses at University, all my teachers used weak implicit multiplication. Could be it’s the norm in France, or they only use it in math studies at University.

This post might just be taking the piss at those trying to defend landlords. Or its a genuine effort to take their side, I’m not sure. Anyway, criticism of landlords was bound to bring people to defend them and/or criticise renters in response. Don’t fret too much, many of us also despise the accumulation of weath through acquiring real estate.

Yeah I don’t get the whole “replace meat with a vegan steak” idea. Just prepare a delicious Dahl, the recipe of which has been around for hundreds of years!

Reminds me of an argument I had with a transphobic person about Last of Us 2’s trans character Lev. I tried to tell him even I used to be ignorant of trans people feelings. So I have said hurtful things in the past. Until I realised what harm my words could cause. Didn’t help to make him change his mind though!

Delivery guy here! Don’t forget that the driver only gets $5 out of those $30. So fuck uber. And I take my bike when I want to eat, obviously.

The number one problem of modern appliance is indeed longevity I’d say. The so called “planned obsolescence” is probably what mainly drives or consumption of electronics and, accordingly, our production of e-waste. But Framework might just be saying that for green washing purposes.

They shouldn’t have put religion into this bill. In France, filming Quran burnings would be illegal in regards so the “incite hate law”. I hope so at least! It’s better to word it this way, so you can condemn provocation like holy book burnings, but keep caricature out of it.

Fuck you Spotify! I download my mp3 just like cool kids did 20 years ago, and it suits me just fine!

I can’t help “alternating” what I eat. Like Monday it’s jam for breakfast and Tuesday it’s Nutella, so on and so forth. Or for lunch it’s “healthy yogurt” while for dinner I get a sugary fatty desert. It started as a way to eat healthily but now it feels a bit like a prison of my own making 😅
