PSA: You can still sign EU petitions even if you don’t live in the EU anymore.

There are two layers in the form. The first and the one that counts is your nationality, your passport. This one needs to be EU.

Then later your residency address can be outside of EU and you can select “other country” if you moved to UK, Switzerland, Thailand or whatever.

Oh shit my vote made 100%, I didn’t know I was the first to vote.

The Verse it is then 😁

Le Verse in my corner of the world.

I generally get my inspiration from https://forums.serverbuilds.net/ mainly the NAS killer posts (the website seems to be down at the moment of posting).

Then I adapt according to my local second hand market. Everything is bought from auction sites like eBay and some parts need patience to find a good price.

Do you still find r-word platform as satisfying?

Not in a long time, and way less since they made this shit AI translation to French. I often find results like that from search for IT stuff and 99% of those “French Reddit conversations” are from AI translation and not French subs.

It looks and feels like cringe translation when you read through the post. I know I can switch back to original English but I hate those results so much that I now avoid the website entirely (while I was still sometimes using it without an account for specific IT answers).

He is the bearded wizard we need.

Well, an apple subreddit is 200% more relevant for a Linux user than a Windows sub 🤷🏻‍♂️

a lot of savings

Savings for who? If nothing is changed and manufacturers (and retailers) doesn’t make any kind of commercial gesture, the only ones paying more are the American consumers.

So moving the manufacture would be a saving for every Joe and Jane in the US, not Nintendo nor the ROTW.

Not moving the manufacture might be a loss of % in their US consumer base as prices will be too high there, but is it big enough to justify the enormous costs needed to move an entire industry workflow?

I don’t think so, specially when there is so many instability in the US politic, if you move to an other country at great cost and 2 weeks later a new tariff is declared (because why not), you moved everything for no reason but still lost your investment.

My belief is that no industry nor country will adapt, they will just increase the US market prices and keep on living like before with the ROTW. The only ones to suffer will be the American citizens and I’m sorry for them, but there is an all planet to trade with.

That would cost them enormous amounts of cash and hours of work just for one market.

There’s no point, the best option is just to ignore the US and let them pay more than the rest of the world, even if that means fewer sales.

No it doesn’t change anything for lifetime pass.

Maybe it will in a few years, but not today.

Maintenance day is when I log into my server once every 3 month because I forgot it (as everything is working fine).

But I just discovered OpenSuse microOS, while looking at the docs for my laptop Thumbleweed, and now I want to try it with no real reasons. Maybe it is just an excuse to buy a new Raspberry pi.

Also, air traffic controller here with most of my mates being airliners pilots.

We are all tired and alcoholic, it’s even worse among the ground staff at airports.

Good luck on your next holiday 😘

It’s the TOSA https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOSA_(bus)

I really like the “thermal runaway thing” expression, and yeah it is a false equivalency but it’s a funny one.

EV charging and the tech around it can be slow today, but it doesn’t mean we should abandon and go back to what we know is working (as some people want to). This is a recipe for zero innovation and not the way to become a Star Trek like civilization.

In my city there are electric buses that charge in a few seconds at some stops along the route. No overhead wires, no big diesel engines and no noise.

We just need to work and improve those new vehicles, find better than the actual EV and combustion engines as well.

Just get rid of the fuel stations. It’s ridiculous that vehicles owners should expect to refuel their cars anywhere but at home or at work

Yeah ok… Clean them like any normal logical human being, aka by using common sense and stuff you already have at home. Or buy those non necessary cleaning kits!

Thanks wired.

We have (or had?) a bad English cursus at school, I don’t know if that changed as I have not be at school in a while.

A somewhat strong culture with enough to read, listen and watch 100% French content in a lifetime, so that doesn’t help. And a few remains of rebellion that does not help as well.

I believe the French dubbing industry is also known for its quality with plenty of talented voice actors. But I heard this from others, I usually consume cinema or tv in the original language.

You are right that it clearly does not help. I am always annoyed when I see a French speaker crying over Steam forums that x video game does not have a French traduction, just play it in English duh.

Anyway, we have a perfect dumb science excuse that we love: We cannot speak good English because of our native language frequency. That’s it, we can’t do shit about it, c’est la vie 🤷🏻‍♂️

I speak perfect English and voluntarily keep my French accent cause it gets me laid.

Also because I’m too lazy to introduce myself or put the fucking emphasis at the correct place, but mostly because of the first reason.

That’s refreshing
