Financing parties is complicated by design as the French system tries to avoid interference from companies or wealthy individuals. RN was struggling because they are greedy incompetent pigs. So they decided collectively to use the money dedicated by the European parliament to recruit parliamentary assistants to finance the party’s activities. And they got caught.

This won’t affect their chances as racist voters will still vote for racist candidates, whatever the candidate. We will just have a new racist guy (Jordan Bardella) instead of Le Pen.

They were not with double nationality but Algerians living in France as far as I know. You cannot deport a french citizen from France regardless of any additional nationality.

I still haven’t been able to read Algeria’s arguments behind their refusals to accept their condemned citizens back. Anyone’s got it?

Hexadecimal, not hexidecimal

Amazing that it works so well, nice!

However I can’t help thinking usability improvements are urgent. The key one being how you need to bring up the menu with a 2 finger slide up, and then click again on the right button to get the list of apps, which is not even user friendly. Then, clicking on the top right window button to close the app, which you seemed to have difficulties to click on (with good reasons).

Finally you drag and drop a lot, can’t you click on the music file directly without opening the app in parallel?

I can see you’re not using Flatpak, the destroyer of disk space. Nice list though!

And here I am, running projects for the past 20 years mostly using agile, and still very much unconvinced about its supposed superiority over waterfall.

For email hosting only. But yes, they are not as trustworthy as they once were

Strangely enough, that’s what I thought for a long time but not this time. Removing the lines I saw makes absolutely no sense unless you’re selling users data, which I strongly oppose to.

I’ve started to use librewolf, unsure if this is a good idea.

I like both Arch and Manjaro, I like the ability to pick the right tool for the job. I can tweak and better understand my system with Arch, I can be trouble-free and productive with Manjaro.

It’s been a bumpy road. I have strong memories of Gnome devs explaining to users how wrong they were to dislike Nautilus’s awful spatial mode. And when that guy refused to implement a switch off option because users were wrong to ask for it.

Now really, it’s quite functional once you’ve tweaked with gnome-tools and added vital extensions. You also have to remember useless stuff such as “Video” means “Totem”. I’ll just never understand why they don’t really care about sane defaults.

How is it? Well it feels like an environment where developers actually care about users. I love it.

Misskey seems really popular looking at numbers. I’m confused because nobody talks about it. Is it because of some niche super active audience?

Did they just remove their comments?

Talking from a usability standpoint it’s gotten much better. It’s still slow to open the app but the search got much more efficient.

Unfortunately yes.

I’m a minority: I’m using Signal a lot, as well as Mastodon and Lemmy. However I was describing the situation around me and they’re largely using Meta products.

I don’t mind having 2 tools: one for public conversations with strangers and one for family and friends.

WhatsApp has replaced Facebook for family and friends here in France. However, I keep using Facebook due to local groups and town hall posting there.
