Yeah, getting old sucks. I'm still 25 in my head, but my body constantly reminds me that I'm over 30, and that it is slowly falling apart like a decrepit abandoned car.

I guess what I was trying to say is: we have crossposting between communities, what prevents us from crossposting between years as well? :)

L'article en dit pas mal sur l'accusation du Decodex du Monde

J'ai pas trouvé justement... 😕 M'enfin comme dit, je débarque totalement. J'étais même pas en France, en 2017. Alors de là à m'inquiéter des batailles rangées entre papiers... 😅

Perso je suis totalement OotL, que s'est il passé?

And they must be local rather than remote (cloud).

Also, always prioritise a common format served through filters (for example having all your data in postgres and minio, and serve that on demand as ICS, XML, etc) so that you don't need to duplicate or lose data due to formats.

Spez could learn a thing or two from russia. That is not how one uses kompromat...

C'est surtout chiant de ne pas pouvoir respirer comme avant. Je ne me suis pas rendu compte de la chance que j'ai eue.

Et je ne sais pas si c'est moi qui déconne, COVID, ou l'environnement qui se barre en vrille, mais je ne sens presque plus rien dehors non plus. À l'intérieur, oui, mais dehors... Très rarement. Juste des flashs passagers. 🤷‍♂️

Nan, j'étais entre plusieurs pays pendant des années, et j'avais pas de couverture sociale. Là j'en ai une à nouveau... Et j'ai fait refaire mes dents (enfin refaire 1, arracher 2), mais effectivement ça serait pas mal de faire ça.

Merci du conseil, je vais ajouter à la todo pile. 😶

Perso c'est les poumons. J'ai jamais fumé régulièrement, jamais vécu à coté d'une usine polluant l'air, et pourtant... Ça coince. 😩

AFAIU - but that is a veeeeeery "skimmed" take on the issue, so please check what I wrote before taking it at face value:

There were legitimate concerns about tiktok (hugely popular platform distributed as a "black box", with very concerning permissions and behaviours, and owned by a foreign actor - tiktok is "unavailable" domestically - that demonstrably uses technology in an extremely dystopian way on their own population), so there was quite a lot of public pressure to "do something about it", and of course politicians jumped on the opportunity to make a (very) broadly fitting legislation targeting it, coincidentally also having utterly damaging and immensely concerning side-effects for the end users privacy and sovereignty of all applications.

Following that, some of the people got (rightly) concerned about the legislation's effect on their rights and privacy, but the vast majority just saw that their digital crack cocaine was being attacked, and started whining with arguments of varying relevance. At the end of the day, though, a given platform is irrelevant. What is, is the abilities given to the users, and the possibilities that those create. But now, we have a deeply concerning platform, still being immensely popular and uncontrolled; a totally unfitting legislation with incredibly wild "side effects"; and a growing, misguided popular movement to "save tiktok" that will only make a legitimate attempt at mitigating it much harder. Yay.

Edit: after quite some digging, I found the bill here (PDF) - source.

Edit 2: to answer your question more directly:

Can anyone get me up to speed what claims the bill gave to justify TikTok must be either sold or remove from app stores?

The justification is "America’s foremost adversary has no business controlling a dominant media platform in the United States".

Which is IMHO fair. It isn't like the CCP would let American corporations, let alone government controlled ones, run services in China, let alone psychiatrically alienate their citizens, instigate discord and radicalization, potentially manipulate the public opinion, have the capacity to covertly do psyops, and actively, aggressively collect any and all data.

The potential problem I see (and probably what concerns most of the privacy advocates out there) however, is that while the bill is aiming at tiktok in particular (fine), it also targets any "foreign adversary". Meaning that, AFAIU (but IANAL), all the US would have to do to completely and entirely nuke an app (or an entire federated platform!) in the US would be to declare any foreign entity (country, state, corporation, person, etc) their "adversary". Effectively giving them a single "button" to directly nuke any app and services they don't see fit. No matter how legitimate.

And now you know why French companies are literally pegging users with total impunity. Seldom anyone sues companies in France, and when people do, most of the time it ends up ruining their lives with a giant slapp suit.

ISPs especially, since there are only 4 for the entire country, and consequently, they have enormous resources at their disposal.

To make matters worse, the French judicial system is extremely dated, has no understanding of technological matters, and is slower than the Deutsche Bahn processing a broken engine situation.

This is a far cry from Germany, where there are dozen of ISPs per land or even major city, and where lawsuits can happen over the course of months.

When you think of French administrations, think of people who are playing pretend-beamter, but who have neither the tools nor the skills (save for maybe 10% of them who have to manage literally everything by themselves with a stupidly low salary). No accountability, no expectations, and no barrier of entry aside from the "luck of the draw" ended up creating a system where too many people tried forever to work there, only to be paid better than welfare and do less work (let's be honest, being on welfare is no walk in the park, the state will fuck you up if you keep refusing to take underpaid, exhausting labour "offers").

I mean I also don't really care about the temperature of my ram unless it prevents it from working. RAM overclocking isn't that useful, and unstable ram sucks ass.

However, it doesn't matter what the component is: the original difference over ambient is the amount of heat that operating the component generated. The difference after cooling is essentially the amount of heat that the specific cooling solution was able to handle. No matter the component. And dividing the latter by the former gives out the amount of cooling the cooling solution provided, relative to the amount of heat operating the component generated. This works for any component and any cooling solution. Cooling it further than ambient can be desirable for some use cases, that's why chillers exist, and that will essentially give out a percentage over 100.
