That’s super interesting, I do remember being taught as a kid how to use Google Image search (circa 2005), Gimp for photo manipulation around the age of 12 in 2008, we had technology classes with electronics, technical drawing, even some plastic bending machine, and light programming (made a robot figurine execute recorded moves in sequence)

I do wonder if it’s still the case in my own country

Computer literacy is weird because it feels like millennials were born into it and had to learn how to use the tools available… Then said tools were made a lot simpler with a lot less control over them, and Gen Z was born into apps and saas and did not have the chance to properly learn

We generally only taught a single generation to master our tech, I think it’s scary, but also I trust the Zoomers to figure it out, they’re creative

This is the important paragraph on the article

Because Proton has no venture capital investors, we can take this additional step to secure the future. Swiss foundations do not have shareholders, so Proton will no longer be dependent upon the goodwill of any particular person or group of persons. Instead, Swiss foundations and their board of trustees are legally obligated to act in accordance with the purpose for which they were established, which, in this case, is to defend Proton’s original mission. As the largest voting shareholder of Proton, no change of control can occur without the consent of the foundation, allowing it to block hostile takeovers of Proton, thereby ensuring permanent adherence to the mission.

Not good enough looking at the votes haha

When I was thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that sports that don’t require confrontation should just evolve and give up on the competitiveness. Swimming, javelin, whatever shouldn’t have the winner be the best out of every contestant, we should celebrate each and everyone’s force of will to better themselves first. We already have that with high jumping, where individual performance is rated Vs their height goal.

Give up competitiveness in sports where it isn’t needed, and you no longer have people melting down because someone has more muscular mass, or a different gender than expected.

Give up competitiveness in sports and you return to a celebration of the human body and it’s physical prowess, instead of childishly fighting for who’s best.

Obviously this doesn’t work in football, or sports with direct confrontation, that i haven’t found a solution yet, maybe during the next shower ?

I wish eyedropper had a keyboard shortcut, it’s probably one of my most used tools

Maybe https://writefreely.org/ ? But it’s very simple with not a lot of customisation

Or https://joinplu.me/ but its development has been halted lately

Fun fact : Yam’s is the french name for Yahtzee

Yeah buddy fuck you too

Just because youre lhgtbq does not automatically mean you’re right or have been wronged.

Governments and people around the world are actively trying to repress if not outright kill sexual / gender minorities, I do think they’re wronged on a daily basis because their very right to existence is not granted :(

STOP GIVING THEM IDEAS AAAAA

I just started using Local Send (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.localsend.localsend_app/) ; what a blessing this app is, no more uploading to someone else’s computer the cloud and downloading to my pc or vice versa, it’s so fast too

I will run it again don’t worry! ❤️

I ran !lemmyvision@jlai.lu which is Eurovision but for Lemmy, it was fun ! I’m thinking of making a special Lemmyvision event in the upcoming months, but otherwise expect a second edition next year 🤗

Igorrr is its own music genre

(Not really, it’s a blend of metal and breakcore)

My man you need to spend less time in the shower

The poison brewer would never try his own product 🙃

The name the website is giving them is weird, it’s officially the “Regulatory Authority for Audiovisual and Digital Communication”, their mission is the same (fighting piracy) so it doesn’t really matter but it’s still weird to call them by one of their tasks.

Anyway this is an interesting study because of the data, but the reading is obviously biased, they imply that the use of VPNs and what they call “alternative DNS” (yeah guess what, if my ISP blocks websites I’m still going to access them) is suspicious, they do mention security/privacy as one of the usages (it’s the two main motivations for the majority of users in their results).

Something interesting : NordVPN is the most used by the panel, I think it’s reasonable to explain it by the heavy marketing NordVPN did on french youtube (almost every big youtuber had an ad segment with them), but their results say otherwise, 35% of the panel says it’s based on recommendations from closed ones.

I don’t know why some in the panel of 3000 people would self report as pirating, it sounds dumb to admit to an infraction to the law.

Edit : Their conclusions are absolutely busted, an example: 26% people using a VPN reported data privacy was their main reason (for 49% it was one of the motivations), next is securing their data against breaches for 23% (44%), piracy fall down as the 6th motivation with 7% (17%) ; their conclusion? “The choice of a VPN is rather simple, to not be tracked and access illegal content” what kind of botched logic is that

On the bright side, Firefox has a 21% market share in France on desktops, yay!

I guess we need a c/tipofmytongue
