Quand l'Abbé Pierre expliquait la différence entre être de gauche et être de droite.
Aujourd'hui ils donnent aux plus riches et laissent crever les plus pauvres
S il était encore là il serait dingue
@devnull@bazouzabou Je sais pas, c'était une vision de la différence gauche/droite qui existait je pense à l'époque : le moyen de redistribution change, à cause d'un désaccord sur la manière la plus efficace de redistribuer. C'est globalement le point de départ de L'économie des inégalités de Piketty (1997) aussi. (cf. https://archive.org/details/leconomiedesineg0000pike/page/2/mode/2up )
On en est très loin désormais, vu le cynisme qui prévaut.
Bluesky now allows you to unpin or even remove the default "Following" feed and make any other custom feed the default one.
The "Following" feed is the chronological one by Bluesky but there's thousands of other custom algorithmic feeds created by other users and generated by federated third party servers.
I just made a giant batch of chilli purely to use all the tins of beans, and fridge veggies... but I had no Kidney Beans just Cannellini Beans, so is it even a chilli any more?
@andycarolan I'd argue it depends on the spices used and flavours you got. Hot, warm, umami, chilli, cumin, paprika etc.? Chilli.
Fresh, sharp or soft, herbs, lemon, etc. ? Salad.
Well done. Facebook (sorry, "Meta"): "Reality Labs has now lost more than $45 billion since the end of 2020, when Meta first began reporting the business segment separately."
Yes, billion with a B.
That's an insane amount of money. I don't even want to go into the whole "think how many hospitals could have been funded with that money".
Quick reminder that @element built a metaverse that works better than anything Facebook has shown, for a fraction of the investment, and built entirely on free and open source technology including @matrix : https://thirdroom.io/
Purée, Qovery / Romaric Philogene qui force Anaïs Urlichs à faire des excuses publiques, via lettre d'avocat, pour avoir fait des tweets sarcastiques sur le manque de diversité dans la tech suite à une photo d'une tablée où on ne voit que des mecs blancs, c'est magnifique.
Apparemment les égos fragiles, c'est pas terminé et ça se traduit par de la bonne menace juridique à la papa, qui fait pendre au nez « compensation pr les dommages subis » etc.
Completely mind boggling to me that we threw away 5 billion phones in 2022.
Some of those could have been repurposed: smartphones are hardly innovating any more. The most eco-friendly phone is the one you already have.
We need to publicly support communities like @postmarketOS who work on making these phones repurposable, and @gnome that work on making a polished mobile experience that serves people, not creepy corporations.
@thibaultamartin@postmarketOS@gnome We need a legal obligation to release of all relevant code and schematics for all chipsets that are no longer supported by the manufacturer.
I'm still on an old Pixel 2, running an "ancient"¹ GrapheneOS. I replaced the battery, but it works fine.
It's also a security risk, which i'm well aware of. This shouldn't be the case.
I hate how the Internet distorts our relationship to time, i should probably write something about that one of these days.
@organicmaps hello! Did the button to remove a POI get removed? It feels like every other time i look for it (tap POI, expand bottom drawer) it's gone. It drives me a bit mad.
@organicmaps I can see that 2024.03.31-8 is not yet on F-Droid, where 2024.03.05-4-FDroid is the latest. But so you can confirm the Edit Place is gone in 2024.03.05-4-FDroid?
Il a vraiment parlé d' "open bar" pour la santé, l'obsédé de la rondelle, ou j'ai mal compris ?
Non parce que, là, entre les restes charges, les retenues forfaitaires sur les consultations, les médicaments et les 450 balles pas pris en charge pour l'opération à venir du mois d'avril, l'open bar commence à me coûter cher, je trouve.
On en fait des tonnes sur « 15 candidats à la présidentielle ! » mais on a en pratique un scrutin uninominal majoritaire à un tour ("first-past-the-post, en Anglais), système électoral qui est foncièrement de la merde.
"Enshittification" isn't just a way of describing the symptoms of platform decay: it's also a theory of the mechanism of decay - the means by which platforms get shittier and shittier until they are a giant pile of shit.

Also, "boom and bust" is – shock, horror – part of the capitalist playbook. I remember being a bit aghast when during the 2008 financial crisis @CrimethInc were the only folks vocally reminding people that seeing companies fail was, in fact, part of capitalism. When you need anarchists to remind you of basic tenets of capitalism, you know something is very wrong.
@DavidM_yeg@dalias@pluralistic@CrimethInc This conversation has just bought back to mind this line i read many moons ago, and must try and find the origin of: "I'll believe corporations are people the day Texas executes one".
