FTFY:
And now you know why French companies are literally pegging users with total impunity. Seldom anyone sues companies in France, and when people do, most of the time it ends up ruining their lives with a giant slapp suit.
ISPs especially, since there are only 4 for the entire country, and consequently, they have enormous resources at their disposal.
To make matters worse, the French judicial system is extremely dated, has no understanding of technological matters, and is slower than the Deutsche Bahn processing a broken engine situation.
This is a far cry from Germany, where there are dozen of ISPs per land or even major city, and where lawsuits can happen over the course of months.
When you think of French administrations, think of people who are playing pretend-beamter, but who have neither the tools nor the skills (save for maybe 10% of them who have to manage literally everything by themselves with a stupidly low salary). No accountability, no expectations, and no barrier of entry aside from the "luck of the draw" ended up creating a system where too many people tried forever to work there, only to be paid better than welfare and do less work (let's be honest, being on welfare is no walk in the park, the state will fuck you up if you keep refusing to take underpaid, exhausting labour "offers").
Give it to someone who wants it and ask money in return.
I would argue that what makes sense when considering temperature percentages wrt dissipation, is the difference between old and new, divided by the difference between the system at rest and the old temperature.
Which is then a ratio of offsets, rather than a ratio of one offset and a difference with an arbitrarily defined origin.
In this case, it is fair to assume the temperature at rest of the system around 292K, or 19C.
Which would give: (78.5C - 70C) / (78.5C - 19C) = 14.29%, or (351.65K - 343.15K) / (351.65K - 292.15K) = 14.29%.
We need to organise and stand up.
We are techies (I'm assuming that at least most of us are), and we want stronger EU customer and end user rights (ditto), so let's do something about it.
How about we code a platform that lets people get in touch with each other and report such abuse? With the added benefit that such "similarly disgruntled" groups of people could readily start class action lawsuits at the European Level.
Who's with me??
They're on Zulip, not discord: https://radicle.zulipchat.com/
I wrote that the community was on discord. And open that link, you will see, discord is literally at the top of the page, the first 3rd party thing that you can see...
Although I will admit that their "radicale" project has no mention of discord, and has a couple links to zulip, discord is likely going to be the preferred platform for many, given how relatively niche zulip is (I never heard of it before, and I have had accounts on matrix, signal, and simplex for years - or months for the latter. To illustrate my point, the zulip app on f-droid is barely more than one year old, while the element app is much older, especially as it was preceded by RiotX before that, which was a rewrite of the original Riot client).
So, while I salute them promoting zulip on the project page, the criticism still stands, as anyone searching for anything a bit more widespread to contact them will only find discord.
They're DAO-funded but there's no crypto in the code
DAOs have nothing to do with funding. It is all about governance. This type of organisation is based on "smart contracts", that are entirely a "blockchain" centric concept, and (AFAIK) rely entirely on ethereum. Aside from the fact that this type of organisation is as fragile as the underlying cryptocurrency, the summary of this video disagrees with you (emphasis mine):
[...] to create Radicle and how it fits into the DAO ecosystem
I hardly see how one can make software "fit into an ecosystem" without a single line of code integrating it with said ecosystem.
install by sh is shit
I think you mean "install by piping the internet to sh". If so, yep. That's a wild understatement, but yep.
If not, well, " install by sh" is literally what the overwhelming majority of package managers do... So... Nope.
that's a red flag for a bunch of things: nix, rust, nvm, and a bunch more
Yep. Although in the case of rust, fortunately, any sane developer will use their OS's package manager, but yep.
Edit: alright, I stand corrected.
FOSS and OSS mean the same thing. Apparently this stems from MBAs failing to understand the difference between free speech and free beer, and automatically assuming the later.
So this is "source available", and the label "open source" is bogus.
It's quite alright. Happens to anyone. I also miss stuff on a regular basis. I have, however, to salute the lemming camaraderie, it is a very nice change of tone from other platforms. 🙂
Mitch McConnell, seen here getting a hand job from Trump, has endorsed Trump.
I would guess that it is trump who is getting handjobs from mitch rather.
He surely has kompromat on mitch (and 90+% of GOP), and that's how he owns them.
Now that I come to think of it, this must be why so many republicans are focused on passing laws that decriminalise paedophilia. Because once it is decriminalised, the kompromat trump has on them will likely be useless...
Leatherman FTW.
