Didn’t foresee this as a consequence to the rise of the antivax conspiracy. Sure I knew we’d be in trouble to reach herd immunity for the next epidemic/pandemic, but now we have to worry about rabbies in pets too. And what’s next? Antivax farmers refusing to vaccinate their cattle?

Maybe your teacher uses vous not as a formal address to one student but rather to speak to the whole class? Or he/she respects some students more than others and uses vous to talk to them, in spite of the age difference.

Yeah I’had been wondering if the ink and glue in those stickers could be bad for the soil if you threw them in your compost. So as a precaution I throw them in the recycling bin.

In French/France I use the formal vous when talking to strangers or customers. Here people generally switch pretty quickly to the informal tu when they get to know each other (at my first day at work with my colleagues and boss). But I’m quite an oddball since I use the formal address even for kids, which no one does. Also my neighbor was a bit annoyed at me for continuing to say vous to her after having met her one month ago. It can make people feel old.

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”. :[

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

I think I heard once that Romans mixed wine with salted water. So taht could be a bit of an aquired taste. Or a banger alcoholic soy sauce…

Columbus and After Yang by Kogonada. These are such beautiful, contemplative films.

IRC golden age was before my time but I wouldn`t say being able to talk to people on the other side of the planet in real time is weak sauce.

Photoshop wars?

Damn must have been the early 2000’s when I was a kid. I probably went to flash games websites most of the time.

The google as default firefox engine was a shit move from mozilla in terms of etfics and financial independance. Then again, if the google money goes away, their existence is at risk, isn’t it?

Oh I thought Waydroid was a VM. But still, it’s a lot more recent than wine. So is it really fully compatible with most apps?

A program like Wine, but to run Android apps on a Linux machine would be great. It would use a lot less battery power than a virtual machine.

You could give it to a pig/chicken farm, or compost it at the very least.

Makes me remember, wasn’t there a well respected dev who, out of the blue, decided to add a vulnerability in a linux package last year?

About the ethics of murder or other crimes in alternate universes : I actually pondered this quite a bit before. Imagine a world where accessing parallel realities is accessible to everyone (wether it be time traveling or “booking” a divergent universe to do as you wish). Well it could be morally accepted that it’s an OK means of stress relief to insult, vandalize, harm, kill torture in these realities (as long as you behave in the main reality). My conclusion is that hurting people is wrong, even if you can revert the timeline or delete the universe as if you hadn’t done anything. Hurting people in the moment is wrong even if there are no consequences on the world around you, because there is still a lasting change on yourself.

Thanks for that, I didn’t know about all that drama. I’ll surely look up !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone

My main reason to use arch is the exceptionnally complete and useful arch wiki. Though many pages are useful for other distros as well. With the archlinux and package install guides, it’s just a matter of time (and study!) until you know how to get around.
