It’s definitely happening. Hurting the vulnerable harder than usual seems to be one of the many perks of hosting olympics games along extra pollution, extra corruption… /s

My personnal favorite is The Dispossessed - and it’s standalone.

Thanks a lot for this detailed, understandable and kind answer :)

The article talks about sudo and doas being SUID binaries and having a larger attack surface than run0 would. Could someone ELI5 what this means?

In France we treat our prisoners like utter shit. If they way you treat the people you have power over is an important marker of civilization/democracy (and I believe it is), we fail this test real hard.

That being said, the tribunal has to specifically add to the prison sentence an exclusion from the right to vote. Iirc, about 25k prisoners (among the 75 or 80k total) have been deprived from the right to vote during their sentence.

Voting from prison in France is complicated,there are 3 options afaik:

• you can delegate your vote to someone on the outside
• you can resquest a “day off” to go to the polls
• since 2019 you can vote by correspondance

The “can I please go out to vote” has to be approved by the warden, and dosen’t happen much.
Delegating your vote isn’t always easy either, prison has a tendancy to isolate people from their former close ones.
The correspondance vote is recent and seems like the best of the three. In 2017 (presidential electio ), less than 2% of imprisoned people had voted. In the 2022 presidential election, more than 20% of them did.

So far, voting logistics and the feeling that society doesn’t want you has imo prevented far more people to vote than the “you can’t vote for the next x years” addendum to sentences.

But I like feeling like a real manly man when I eat my real manly meat in a real manly way with my real manly bros, surely that’s worth a few hundreds thousands human lives a year ?

(And btw, plant-based diets could also save 100 million animal lives a year)

I still use PWAs with firefox, but as an addon. Works flawlessy so far.
Here is the one I use, just in case: Progressive web apps for Firefox

But don’t worry, they are stil allowed to make your life and the life of coming generation more and more difficult #climatechange without having to do anything about it (except pretend r&d about “biofuels” and “electric planes” to look cool).

Edit: fixed typo and clarified

Not at all. OP seems to mistake socialism and authoritarism.

From the wikipedia page:

The UAE is an authoritarian federal monarchy. According to The New York Times, the UAE is “an autocracy with the sheen of a progressive, modern state”. The UAE has been described as a “tribal autocracy” where the seven constituent monarchies are led by tribal rulers in an autocratic fashion. There are no democratically elected institutions, and there is no formal commitment to free speech. According to human rights organisations, there are systematic human rights violations, including the torture and forced disappearance of government critics.

I believe you’ll struggle to find actual socialist thinkers endorse this kind of government.

In France, I’ve seen a few “plant-based” labeled products that actually had eggs in the recipe. At least the “vegan” label is regulated (EU iirc) so I’m sure what I eat is vegan. Spending time to read the ingredients list is not something I wanna do (I am lucky enough not to have food allergies), so I’m all for the use of non-misleading labels and easy to spot logos.

You also need full root access to you bank’s machines.

They do if they are high enough.

For the execution, can’t you configure the fstab with noexec on partitions where the user has write permissions and give the user read-only permissions on the root partition ?

I think this would be fine for most jobs, the exception being software development where you usually need to execute stuff to test your programs.

Being able to choose between single player, coop, and multiplayer.

We sadly don’t know how to use it anymore, but the design and manual are opensource, feel free to use it at home!

Share prices catching up to reality, good one 🤣🤣🤣

Are there mandatory road safety tests in the US ?

HL2 ?

Didn’t know about the superfund concept, and I’m loving it ! I hope we see more of this in the coming years.

From the gitlab page:

The user can move the cursor with h,j,k,l (vim keys), or the arrow keys.
