That's actually how democracy is understood in France ! The office you hold is a privilege and a responsibility : executive power delegated to you by the will of the people, underpinned by the rule of law.
You know your country political idea/marketplace of idea is turning to shit when the majority yearn for a providential man that will fix all their problem with the magic wand of repression and prejudice.
Only smoking Virginia tobacco is boring, if I were to smoke I would try Cavendish, Lakatia, and other more spicy and interesting varieties and blends of the plant.
Maybe y'all Americans all have the same commodified culture managed by a hedge funds but in Europe, every country has a rich culture and its own identity+way of life.
I don't get the same vibe at all from France and Germany or the Netherlands. I see similarities and a common history which makes the cultural ramification even more telling and insightful
That's true! I just remember helping my troubleshoot his issues recently and it was a nightmare going into the registry and editing stuff, the UX is so bad!
I love when Linux gets complex because it makes sense. When Windows gets complex with Powershell, or any other horrible stuff in this OS, I just wish it wouldn't lol.
Again, still not the norm. But I pray for all the nontechnical gen-z players of Valorant when something bad happens on their PC lol
I'm 17yo and hadn't really had time to think about this stuff. I guess it'll just happen someday, I don't think that's a "rite of passage" tho, just something I want to explore someday.
Ça fait un mois que j'ai emménagé dans le 15e et je suis très excité par toutes les opportunités de rencontres et de découvertes dans la ville. Cependant la solitude me pèse un peu... (Pour l'instant j'essaie de faire une expo tous les week-end)
Pour donner un peu de contexte, j'ai terminé le lycée et examens en juillet 2024 et j'ai quitté la fac (ça ne me plaisait pas du tout) pour faire du développement dans une boîte au centre de Paris.
Du coup, plus de potes de lycée/enfance, plus de potes de fac, et totalement perdu dans cette ville, très jolie néanmoins et probablement passionnante.
Si vous connaissez des spots/assos/groupes pour sociabiliser en dehors du taff (et d'Internet) et rencontrer une grande diversité de gens, écrivez un commentaire.
J'aime/je fais :
de l'open-source
du beatmaking
du JdR (je suis maître de jeu normalement mais vraiment la flemme de m'y remettre en ce moment)
je lis beaucoup (de tout mais pas mal de fantasy et de philo)
(Please when answering, assume I’m not a beginner at privacy/programming :) I know where the good stuff at)
First off, shameful confession: I’m writing this on a dying yellow iPhone XR I bought second-hand three years ago (189€). I absolutely love the look of it: the screen, build quality, are all amazing. The only problem was the locked ecosystem (sideloading Spotify/Torrent client was sooo hard).
I saw the android phone of my mother dying really fast. She currently has a Xiaomi phone that’s ridiculously big for my hands, there’s advertisements in the stocks apps (?!!), the UX is janky and everything. It looks like a bloat, privacy nightmare.
So… because it’s impossible to find a jailbreakable phone nowadays I need to buy an android and ideally I would want:
Good screen (vivid colors)
Good build quality (not shitty plastic)
Don’t care about the camera (I don’t want those ridiculously big cameras they make nowadays)
For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin Hobb, and then Metro 2033.
This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense of the world they are forced to evolve into.
I have been learning C++/Elixir recently and I’ve made a distributed port scanner & and a streaming platform with Elixir (what an amazing language to work with) and some fun in C++ (also super cool to use).
I feel like I gained basic mastery of the languages, but I’ve been meaning to deepen my knowledge of them. However, I don’t know where to start now…
Can you give me ideas, open-source project that I could help, etc… ? Thanks!

I've been trying to learn a system language because it would enable me to access a whole new world of possibility for games, tools, and potential projects. My main problem when learning the language are:
can I write modern C++ code using the newer standards and still compile with libraries from older standards?
how do I even organize a C++ project? Look at the linked project, the CMakeList.txt is so hard to understand, the syntax looks so hard to write.
how do I install dependencies? You're going to laugh at me, but I always used languages with package managers and I looked again at the linked project, and they write a whole CMakeList.txt to import ImGui (GUI library I wanna try) but if you compare the structure of the files, it's different from the ones on the repository of ImGui.
As you see there are a lot of problems and it pains me to not be able to solve them because Rust is so unfun to use and work with! Do you think I should try C++, carry one with it?
Hi I've made a full archive of Yuzu. That would include all their Github issues, the git repo on its last version, the latest available release binaries from the Github page, and all of their progress reports from the Yuzu website. The progress reports are good for understanding the general work and weaving a narrative in your mind about the trajectory of the Yuzu project, and the Github issues can outline resolved issues and outstanding ones.
I do not include any illicit materials in my archive. If you seek keys, roms, firmware, etc, you won't find it here.
I was watching the IGN overview on “No Rest For The Wicked” and they say that they abandoned the point-and-click system in favor of WASD because it was not precise enough.
I don’t mind it, either way is fine. However I love the League of Legends type of movement, it’s a factor that makes me still play the game.
(DotA has even better and precise movement mechanics but they are less fun I think)
It’s hard to master yeah, with the unlocked camera and all but I feel like you can be very precise and do exactly what you want: it is very satisfying.
What do you think? Do you know other games that use this point-and-click movement?
