Ah the facebook feeds… I am considering using the fediverse left beard Linux dudes to make an army of leftist devs/sys admins etc.

Use the same tools as the extreme right (like boting) to flood Facebook, Twitter etc with leftist views and positives stories.

Oh I was not talking about left + Macron center (ensemble) but only the left.

The left parties did form a global one, le Nouveau Front Populaire, and I was just referring to that. The left was in shambles between LFI, PS, Les verts etc, a bit of all for themselves. LFI taking the most seats from what was historically le PS (former president Hollande party).

But after announcing the dissolution they managed to be friends again in a very short time. That what was said by that lemmy user.

Macron center was not included and will not be. Stepping down when 3rd to avoid that or that party is nothing new for us, more like a “gentleman agreement” except that this time it was more important than last times.

Someone on lemmy said this Sunday that France leftist successfully formed a global left party in 4 weeks, surely Democrats could find a candidate in 4 months.

I want to see AOC as your president.

The parliament is elected from the 577 “circonscriptions”, or small bit of continental and non continental France + French living abroad, as seen on this map. They represent all of France in front of the government, they vote for or against laws at a national level. They do not take care of any local politic.

Normally the parliament is elected every 5 years, a few weeks after the presidential election so the president can have a parliament on the same side as his.

But the among the president powers, he can dissolve the parliament, so those 577 deputies are sent home and a new election takes place. It is usually done to have the same political party everywhere so passing new laws is easy.

As the government (prime minister and ministers) generally comes from the most represented party in the parliament, if the majority shifts to another party then the prime minister have to resign (all his ministers are included) and a new government will be made from the new majority (in today’s case, the left, even if the president is central-right).

The president have to wait one year before dissolving the parliament again. So he could technically dissolve it again until the next presidential election in 2027.

So for today it means that the PM and his government have to resign (which is done). The president will then have to choose a new PM from the leading party at the parliament (left Front Populaire) and will have to work with a government not agreeing with him.

It is named a cohabitation, between a right side president and left side government, which by itself is not such a big deal as countries like Switzerland works like that, a perpetual compromise between various political views. But France (or US, or ???) is not used to that, so this could lead to a government achieving nothing cause every political side will vote laws according to their own views and nothing is accepted.

Same mate, I was waiting for our traditional European summer heat wave and the Indians and Americans took it all for them :(

I know it is just a wet dream but plenty of french-leftist would love to see AOC as president.

Young, woman, Latino. That would anger the conservatives so much and she would probably do very good things for the US population.

But hey no judgment, maybe tomorrow (Sunday 7th) we will be fucked as well…

EFHK, Helsinki Vantaa runway 15.

OH-LWL Airbus A350-900 is coming home from somewhere probably hotter.

You can see this tower here on gmap

It is not a navaid so I guess it’s a primary radar for ground traffic.

From that angle, the photographer worked an early shift on the airport, nice shot sir !

(You can see the rwy 15 and YB taxiway junction on the photo and on this chart)

I’m European and I have mixed feelings about the US.

There are some great sceneries, nice peoples and my accent does wonders there. I like its smaller towns and countryside.

But at the same I hate its cities. You can see the most widen gap between poverty and absurdly rich peoples in the same street. You can have a wonderful avenue and once in the back alley it looks like third world. I’ve never seen that many weird people than in the us. There’s too much violence and capitalism. And don’t get me on the fucking tipping culture.

I play it since launch and it is not laggy (if it becomes laggy just change server). It had some connection problems at first but nothing too bad, you just had to retry once or twice.

The major problems players complained were not enough helicopters spawn use to “fast travel” around the map (leading to queues of people waiting for an airlift or just walking to destination) and some AI having god sight and shooting you in bushes.

There’s been several updates and the roadmap is public.

I enjoy the game but I play very slowly, I still haven’t unlocked everything. The missions are nice, I like walking in the nature to enjoy the scenery and snipe people.

I like that it is PVE or PVPVE. Other players are usually helpful and talks on the proximity chat (at least on pve) so you can be a lone wolf and participate in a more difficult assault with randoms passing by.

I’d say look at some YouTube reviews but be aware, some of those players finished the game in 48 hours and are complaining that they have nothing left to do (duh) so they want updates (which are coming).

If I hadn’t already I would definitely buy the game, maybe not on full price.

I tried it for sleeping but ultimately I ended up preferring the Bose sleepbuds, or their new version now called Ozlosleep.

Probably one of the best investment in my life.

Also the fact that the shop where I’ve done the molded ear plugs keeps trying to call me for telemarketing twice a year does not help…

45km/h e-scooter ?? Those things with tiny wheels where you stand on a small platform ?

They must have a death wish for that. 45km/h on a bicycle (electric or road bike) is already a bit too fast in most situations.

Between 35 and 38km/h is my perfect spot for riding in cities and is the usual speed on flat of a good road bike (not rode by a professional, those guys are crazy fast).

I think there is a Northern Europe country (ofc it’s Northern Europe…) where the limit isn’t 25 and 45 but 38.

If we had one unique class at 38km/h the world would be a better place.

I’ve read it was just to shit with Microsoft by announcing that computers were tools of the past for gaming AND non gaming (and earn money).

Pushing Microsoft to invest billions to develop the Xbox on Windows (which ultimately did not run on windows) to shit with Sony, and earn money…

Amen brother.

I’ll buy a 13’’ iPad Pro right now if it could do all those “non-mobile OS” things for a perfect small productivity machine.

Hell, I’ll even buy the official pen, keyboard and the non-existent docking station for office use.

The things I have seen or read on 4chan… I avoid that place since then.

I solved that problem by using a tiling window manager on every OS. Configure it to use your favorite shortcuts (from i3wm in this case), put super + spacebar as the whatever launcher you like and tadaaaa!

Everything feels more or less the same.

I do that since I became addicted to i3wm years ago. The worst part is just remembering the keywords to type in the launcher according to what OS you’re on.

Yeah it looked a lot like the first picture in the Wikipedia article.

I don’t remember the game but I couldn’t understand shit as well nor the graphic style.

An arcade center VR headset.

This was in the 90s or early 2000 when VR was non existent to consumers. During holidays visiting the US we ended up in this arcade center, probably in LA, where they had circled booths with an old FPS VR game that you play standing up. The headset looked like a helmet and was plugged from the top.

During my game, I turned on myself (360 no scope style) so much and always in the same direction that the cables got tangled and finally broke, probably with a little spark and some electrical sound. Game over.

As a French preteen, my English was bad and all I remember is the “shiiiiiiit” the worker said when he looked at the headset and cables.

Sorry buddy 🤷🏻‍♂️

What are they going to do, force us to have babies?

According to the Handmaid’s Tale (which seems to be their user manual) they will either kill us or send us to forced labor camps as we are useless to the holy demography.

I see no beach but there is a photo of a toilet on the Gmap page and that is probably one of the best useless picture I’ve seen of a Gmap business page. Clearly a strong contender with peoples posting selfies taken elsewhere.

You read it right 🙄

It comes from the former r/rance now !rance@jlai.lu where English was a forbidden language and everything had to be translated to the stupidest version of French.
