  • Life pro-tip,

    Overbook your sessions, and play at fixed date. Someone is missing ? Their PC is busy with other duties or accept to make an_immersion concession on character suddenly not here_ when not possible to find a plausible explanation.

    It solves a lot of the scheduling problems


  • Tesla understood that Batteries are expensive so let’s make a fancy car so customer are OK to pay for the batteries main brand either didn’t have an EV or tried to make a cheap electric car, cutting down the autonomy (e.g. the Renault Zoe). Add the whole We’re a progressive company, so we give Tesla rather than diesel mercedes to our executive and Tesla was the main player on the niche market for a decade.

    However, as electric car stop being a Niche, every brand has now several electrical models, from a affordable urban one_ to a comfortable and fancy one, If you can afford a Mercedes, Tesla is still an option (but then there is Musk personality not helping) but if you ain’t rich, you can go to Volkswagen or Renault depending on how broke you are




  • There should never be any funding from any government for any religious schools whatsoever, anywhere in the world

    This is a historical defeat from the french left, most likely since the 1905 secularists laws. Private (often religious) school, have the the possibility to be agreed by the state, in that case the teacher are paid by the ministry of education but have follow the official curriculum and accept to be audited by the ministry of education. The “private part” is only about the building, and the extra activity, which may (or not) include religious course. Technically there is some non religious private school but most of them would be Catholic (mostly jesuits) and a few of them would be Muslim or Jewish, but many parents put their kids there either to bypass the “school district map” (when the neighbourhood isn’t nice enough to get a good school) or when they’re kid grades are borderline to be accepted in high-school, in that case paying will help (With some of these schools being the place where kids learn to grow weed, get laid, party and barely graduate, but they didn’t go to vocational school

    Last attempt to stop this funding of private school by taxpayer money was in the 80’s or 90’s and put all the right wing in the street. I doubt a left wing government will burn their crediblity on that issue. (And politically wise, I am rather putting all right wing on the street on a tax reform or on housing prices rather than on school)


  • Unlike proprietary social media, there isn’t an algorithm showing “tailored content for you” too which you add “way less users” and no “big influencers”

    To have content, you should subscribe to more communities, also please feel free to post content in order to create some conversations



  • According to wikipedia, there is rougly 2.5 Billions of Christians with half of them being catholic, moreover the Catholic church is a relatively centralised religion giving a lot of power to the Pope compared to other religious leaders. So I can’t think about many religious leader having that much global authority.

    I Wouldn’t be surprised that the death of Ayattolah Khamanei will also quite a big news. However, while pretending to be “a religious leader” he is also the de facto political leader of Iran




  • Bicycle lanes are always a chicken/egg problem, If you build safe bicycle lanes (and not just drop some painting on the road without changing anything else) you’ll drag more cyclist, which in the end let more space on the road for people who really need it. It’s annoying for the car-drivers, but it’s not like car aren’t annoyance for the rest of the population either. Too many cities gave the priority to car in absurd proportions.

    Regarding traffic code, it’s a complicated topic, there is some minor changes of rules which are really making cycling more efficient, I am thinking about the right-turn on red or the dual way bike-lane in single-way street (when technically possible). On the other hand, some cyclists indeed ignore every possible regulation, all while not having the experience to understand what’s safe and what isn’t


  • My hot take is that we get full automated commercial plane before single pilot.

    Single pilot means that there is no way to avoid an air Berlin like mass murder (and being locked alone in a cockpit doesn’t sounds great for mental health). No pilot means less risk to have such a scenario

    Sure we need risk analysis (accident caused by humans versus humans preventing accident) and most likely newer ATC protocols, and some upgrade in equipments, but I doubt there it a major obstacle.

    Welcome back,

    You’ll see the same communities/magazine no matter what’s the instance you use. However, some delay due to federation is possible, it’s espacially a problem with .world due to their relative weight.

    The local feed means you’ll see post from your instance, which may-be interesting as you’ll see content you like if you choose a thematic instance, but it’s not a blocking feature.

    Then there is a bunch of weird instance, like grad where right-winger are role-playing being leftist by shit-posting on how much they love Kim il sun or Vladimir Putin. these are defederated by most big instances and you won’t see their content (and believe me, you miss nothing)



  • Location is the most iportant, meaning that the realistic option is appartment

    • Can get fresh breakfast on the week-end with a 5 minutes walk, and do not need to plan a weekly grocery trip when I have everything down the stairs

    • Do not need to drive home if I get a drink

    • Have access to tons of activities within a reasonable distance, no matter whether I want to learn Korean, watch stand-up comedy or listen to underground heavy metal

    • Kids can quickly get some autonomy compared to suburb where road are full of cars and parents need a car to go every where.






  • Clear and accessible policies, and in general HR being at least honest and consistent with what’s written there. I know what kind of hotel I can book, or whether I am eligible to an upgrade when travelling, and don’t have to ask to get my double-pay when working on sunday. It’s a pitty that this bare minimum isn’t guaranteed in many employers
