Macron is turbo economical liberalism, and he does everything he can to not be affiliated with the left.

He even dissolved the Assemblée Nationale (our Parliament), and when a left-wing coalition came out on top, which should have secured them the prime minister's seat, Macron delayed the appointment for months trying to buy time for the right to secure an agreement with the far right, and ended up choosing a prime minister from a right-wing party who did had only 7% of votes.

yes, lower even than an analogue bike, because the electric motor is more carbon efficient than human muscle power which requires eating more.

Everytime I saw this claim, it ended up being bullshit. What's your source?

ITT: People in their mid-twenties or later, who feel superior to those that like one form of media over their preferred media.

You're just waving away an important fact, which is that shorts and their equivalents are notoriously known for killing attention spans and disrupting the management of dopamine in the brain, causing depression in particular.

We are no longer simply in the traditional custom of the elderly who despise the activities of the younger generations, we are talking about health.

Perso leur instance était déjà bloquée sur mon compte. Je les vois comme un 18-25 de JVC mais à gauche et international, les discussions ne volent jamais haut.

Malheureusement, je vois sur ce post que bloquer l'instance dans les paramètres ne permet pas d'échapper à leurs commentaires, mais bon, jusqu'ici ça ne m'avait pas gêné, donc je ne suis pas spécialement pour les défédérer.

There is a colossal difference between "the government CONTROLS the weather" and "the government participates in climate change"

Morrowind has never been a pale shadow of Daggerfall. It's just another take on the RPG genre, and a masterful one.

Of course, it's not a RPG sandbox like Daggerfall was and that might put off the early Elder Scrolls fans, but it's superior to its big brother on numerous accounts : story lines, lore, immersion, quests, etc.

Morrowind is a handcrafted marvel with manually placed details everywhere that make the game fascinating and fun to explore, unlike Daggerfall which was big, but repetitive due to its procedural system.

Bigger screen with a constrained form factor. If you don't need a bigger screen, you're just not the target, but that doesn't mean it's totally useless.

It's too expensive

Nuclear power isn't expensive. It's launching a cutting-edge industry with a lot of inertia and not giving it the time and means to pay for itself that's expensive.

And don't even get me started on the Levelized Cost of Energy. These studies give a big advantage to renewable energies, since they only take into account the cost of building, maintaining and dismantling a given energy plant.

That's roughly 100% of the cost of a nuclear power plant, whereas most of the cost of solar and wind power will be found in the solutions that need to be put in place to compensate for their lack of controllability, such as redundant power plants, dams and other forms of storage of considerable size, which are therefore never counted in these cost estimates.

At present, we don't even have the technical means to have enough storage to afford 100% wind + solar in a country, so we're completely unable to estimate how much it would actually cost.

with less carbon-free energy in the end for the money spent and more fossil fuels being used as a consequence

The reality is exactly the opposite: France has been producing most of its electricity with nuclear power since the 70s and 80s, and has had its electricity almost entirely decarbonized since the 90s, for a total cost of less than 150 billion euros for the nuclear industry between 1960 and 2010, according to a report by the Cour des Comptes.

Germany, on the other hand, which has been anti-nuclear and pro-renewables for 20 years, with 40% RE, produces 9 times more carbon with its electricity mix.

And still produces nuclear waste.

The entirety of high level radioactivity waste produced by France for 60 years (containing 90%+ of the radioactivity).

  • New reactor designs, whose research projects have been opposed and working prototypes shut down by anti-nuclear campaigners, can reprocess and reuse this nuclear waste.

Just develop batteries, hydrogen and the likes for storage

You can see the contradiction here: how can we claim that renewable energies are cheaper when we have yet to develop solutions to make them work on a national scale?

We're still a long way from having the technology for batteries that can power entire countries for hours or days on end, and hydrogen means we'll have to oversize our power plants several times over to make up for its inefficiency.

Thanks to French nuclear power, we have proof that it is possible to produce safe, inexpensive nuclear power that can be deployed in two decades. Almost all of France's current nuclear fleet was built between 1970 and 1990, providing 70%-80% of French electricity production for almost 40 years, at a rate of 2 reactors completed per year at a cost of 1 billion per 1000MW unit.

We're still waiting for a working example of a country that runs on wind and solar power without huge hydroelectric capacity or nuclear power for backup.

I'm curious, what is missing from Firefox compared to Vivaldi according to you?

It's so out of context it's almost untrue.

Bitwarden can't find or change your password, and their admins absolutely can't see them either.

You're talking about the "admin password reset" feature offered to organizations (and which doesn't concern lambdas users at all), which must be explicitly activated and which allows admins not to see our password, but to trigger a password reset with notification to the user.

Once the password has been reset, all you have to do is change it, and nobody else has access to it.
