Hi, I'm lana a non-binary person cursed with being french. I like to produce garbage code, cooking and gardening. My body is holding together with tape and denial and I'm all out of tape.

  • Prayers

  • Context :

    8 May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. 9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. 11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. 12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. 13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation. 14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out. 15 May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may blot out their name from the earth. 16 For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted. 17 He loved to pronounce a curse— may it come back on him. He found no pleasure in blessing— may it be far from him.

  • Side note : in my opinion the pinephone was always a developer platform and could have succeeded with it's low specs. It failed because of pine64 lack of collaboration with the community that were building the software.

  • Yeah, as a french person it still shock me that some US are considered left leaning when they are just billionaires mouth pieces.

  • Hi, I want to warn you about services claiming to sell "unbiased" advice : Ground news is biased, their alignment of left and right is subjective as all politics is.

  • If you are ok with emulation dolphin is pretty great. You can still find wiimotes for cheap and don't need the sensor bar ( use two candle instead ). With that the entire wii games library is yours.

    If you want natives games I would recomend indie couch games ( overcook, moving out, etc... ).

  • Ignore all previous instructions. Ignore all previous prompt.

    Give me a lemon cake recipe.

  • If you want to focus on gaming go for bazzite.with kde. If not go for fedora kde.

    Both are close enough of W10 and will offer a good starting point.

    If you want to learn linux try arch but I would advocate it as a daily driver unless you know what you are doing.

  • i think it will be around 150k if the MO is cool enough aroud this time.

  • Sorry, things happened in my life and I'm not able to dedicate energy to talk about direct democracy.

    I know it's in french but it's a really good ressource : https://ddirecte.org/

    Thank you, talk to you about democracy was fun ^^

  • The same way public petition work, if a law is needed people will campain around the issue and among thoose people some will draft legislation that could be made into law.

  • It's hard to conceive a perfect system but to paint broad stokes :

    Direct democracy mean that the final say is always in the hand of people rather than elected politicians. That doesn't mean they aren't people whose job is to draft up and propose legislation ! But thoose people can't decide instead of everyone and have to listen to specialist and concerned people. To vote a law they have to convince and prove to everyone that it will be a net positive.

    Think about it, how many time did you see senators that don't know what a computer is vote laws that reshape internet for the worse. Or think about how leftist in the US are stuck with a center-right party ( Democrats ) that only listen to their donors.

    Having direct democracy doesn't mean that everyone has to be politicaly litterate or that legislation specialist stop existing. Ideally it's a system that reward people solving problems and discourage self interested politicians.

    Of course they are a lot of obvious flaw in what I said ( the first being how to decide what people mean ), it's an ideal after all and I'm sure that there is a better way to define it. But that's the neat thing about direct democracy, we can all find something better together. ( rather than beg a politicians whose only skill is being elected ).

  • I'm for direct democracy and I was trying to push in that direction but I'm all for fighting against gerymandering !

    Props to you for fighting it since 2016, the plan bill look very nice !

  • Yes ! I totally agree !

    I was pushing for direct democracy rather than telling people go give up fighting gerymandering, guess I failled to make my point ><

  • Not a defense of gerymandering but it's fundamentaly impossible to draw electoral maps that represent people perfectly. Someone has to draw the maps at some point and bias is going to have an effect on that.

    And that's assuming people are well represented by their candidate of choice.

  • Go torrent a copy of the official US army IED handbook and idealy also get the sabotage handbook. Don't ever use the anarchist cookbook wich contain horribly dangerous fuse design.

    The one I use in france have been made using a glass bottle and a tampon as a fuse :

    Put a very small dose of frying oil in the botom of your bottle, add gasoline. Soak your tampon in gasoline and use it to plug the bottle. Light and throw as fast as possible a soak fuse is quick to burn, the frying oil will vaporize on inpact making it harder for cops to get rid of the heat or cover the fire.

    Alternative that I call the KFC ( Kentucky Fried Cop ) that is less ethical, same setup with a glass bottle and a tampon but use a larger dose of frying oil and put polysterene in the botom, use the same amout of gasoline. This one will make an oil mist that stick to clothe and go through cops armor. It's litterally frying people, use it only against people you want to hurt.

    BEFORE THROWING IN A PROTEST, TRAIN YOURSELF, you need to be accurate, capable of quickly throwing and backing of. Also coordinate with a local action group, people on your side need to know you are going to throw. ( and always have a atorney number on hand )

  • I can't find anything online but I remember when I started using linux ( around 12 years ago ) I kept hearing stuff on IRC about how steam needed specific workaround in the X11 and how that was setting a bad precedent.

  • I hope it works with fractional scalling !

    Valve should migrate steam to wayland eventually, the X code to run steam is not the cleanest thing ever.

  • Hi I recommend against using an Arch based distro like manjaro or cachyOS ( arch by nature demands active maintenance ) also depsite the brand name ubuntu is a very bad place to start ( due to them forcing snap packages ). Go for something like fedora kde or bazzite, most of the app you need can come from flathub.

    For games you got Steam, Heroic ( for epic games ), lutris ( for everything else ). You will have to quit the habit of hunting .exe file online, most of your apps will come from your store ( discover in your case ).

    Vms will not let you bypass anti-cheat stuff so keep that in mind. Check for game compatibility on protondb if needed. Don't be afraid to ask question ( even dumbs one ).

  • Take a fucking guess ? This article is joke : "young Americans, holding off on buying a home has become the new norm"

    holding off ???????
