Yes, the signs were there, even before he first got selected.

Better late than never. But I fear too few US citizens learned the lesson. Even if the majority realize Trump is dangerous and act like Putin's useful idiot, and manage to prevent Trump from permanently turning the country into a totalitarian state, I fear they could fall for the same bullshit again if it comes from a different populist candidate.

That would beat the purpose of insurance.

Insurance is about risk management, and poking a hole is creating some risk, especially for the local environnement and nearby shores.

What would the penalty be for not being insured?

The decision make sense on principle. To have any effect, it needs a penalty and enforcement.

Could Canada invoke NATO's article 5 to request assistance to defend against the USA?

Let's do a carbon import tax in as many countries as possible. One that can't be negotiated away, only avoided by reducing fossil fuel use.

If someone only agree because of a dark pattern or agressive/repetitive consent popups, then it's not free and informed consent.

It's pressuring visitors into accepting something they wouldn't otherwise accept, and it might not be compliant.

Clearly there need to be more enforcement of GDPR.

Those companies doing business in the EU should have been looking for alternatives since at least 2016 when GPDR was adopted.

It doesn't seem realistic to rely on targeted advertising if that require opt-in, informed consent. I suspect only a small fraction of visitors would agree.

I hope contextual advertising and similar less-invasive approaches becomes the norm again. Contextual advertising have been used for decades in Newspapers, on the TV and radio.

While the statement was likely intended as aspirational language about technological progress, it has since circulated widely online, with some interpreting the comment literally.

The article headline, and sharing of this headline, feeds the conspirations and litteral interpretation.

The line is sometimes blurry between reporting claims and fueling rumors or conspirations.

Individuls earning more than €250,000 a year and couples with a joint income of more than €500,000 will this year pay a minimum 20% income tax

My understanding is that it's not a new tax, but a 20% minimum income tax for high earners. It's a limit on how much income tax optimisation high earners can do.

Given the income tax rate in France, and a quick calculation, a single person earning €250000 should have a base income tax rate of ~35%. This is without any tax rebate, without any tax optimization.

So high earners who aren't doing lots of tax optimisation should already have an incoming tax that's higher than 20%.

Just stop talking to them, they have no jurisdiction

If they try and claim there's no jurisdiction, the other party might disagree. Especially if the contract has a provision that defines which jurisdiction/court is responsible for resolving disputes.

A guess is finding a proper and legal way to break a contract is preferable for companies. An arbitrary breach of contract might make a company look unreliable, could make it more difficult to sign any contract in the future.

IANAL so I have no idea if they'd risk penalties as well.

Recall the time when Windows came on a DVD, had no Microsoft account option on install, no ads in settings nor in the startup menu, no AI slop.

It was still shit, but it feels shittier now, and harder to setup and configure in a way that's bearable.

Atomic distro sounds like an interesting way to avoid breakage due to admin/user mistakes, so it's a good suggestion. But it doesn't help much with bugs in new software releases.

So the best choice depends on what exactly caused instability in OP's case.

Please have Police focus on better using the data it already has. Rather than just giving it the power to hoard more personal data and endangering public liberties.

Existing police records are riddled with errors:

• https://www.lesnumeriques.com/vie-du-net/alerte-cnil-trop-erreurs-dans-fichiers-police-n29925.html

Piling more data on top won't fix these errors. Putting more effort in fixing errors would make the records more useful to police, and would probably avoid ruining the lives of innocents people.

Et interdiction de la cigarette électronique à la prochaine rentrée parlementaire ?

C'est pour le bien de nos chers parlementaires et ministres.

Somewhat obvious tips to get a more stable experience:

• Use a distribution that favour stability over being on the bleeding edge. Like Debian stable, or another distribution that maintain LTS releases,
• Install software from the distribution's official package repositories. Avoid third party packages and repos as much as possible. If you really need a third party repo, verify it's compatible with your specific distro and has reputation for being well maintained,
• When you do see a problem, take time to troubleshoot and if necessary make a bug report with necessary information for developers to identify the problem, so there's a better chance to see it fixed.
• If you use Linux in a professional settings, there is paid support available out there, in some cases this get you priority for bug fixes.

A rogue hole looks even more dangerous than a rogue wave.

One is a passenger train, another is a freight train carrying hazardous materials. The risks are VERY different.

Also, if you're looking for something to blame for the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment, look at lax regulations:

Following the derailment, reaction and commentary focused on industry working conditions and safety concerns, including: the lack of modern brake safety regulations,[3] the implementation of precision scheduled railroading (PSR),[4] reduced railway workers per train, and increased train lengths and weight.
