It is indeed, and is quite popular in France for nonprofit or social projects.

This is great news for PeerTube! Since Blender as an established community, I hope PeerTube will gain traction from it.

True, and false. Because when a service gets used by a lot of people, it often becomes hard to avoid. Take Facebook, for example: at least for my generation, when you don't have an account, you can sometimes feel like you are a burden

Oh, it seems I was unclear again ;) I will pay attention to the decision the EU takes, as a citizen. And I hope that I agree with them — “screwing up” essentially meant doing something I disagree with. Just like you, I don't know if

Again, I don't think we need services from companies not willing to respect GDPR. Its intent is quite clear IMO.

Everything I said was from my own viewpoint (I thought that was pretty clear). You wrote “There is very little difference in results between a nation blocking you or Google blocking you right now”, which I interpreted as an individual-targe

I almost never stumble on Blogger blogs. Are there many? I'm grateful that Google launched Android, but now I can use it without their ”services” and use only (albeit maybe a few manufacturer binary blobs) Free Software. Gmail... Well,

> but I do hope they tread carefully. That's what I was referring to. I definitely don't want the government — any government — to control what I may read, or even to know it.

I think the riot you are thinking of took place more than sixty years ago :) What kind of site would block EU by default? If EU is a big part of the site's audience, they probably wouldn't close it, and if it's not, well, the

The people “as a whole” don't understand indeed, and this is rather problematic. Protesting in the street can get quite difficult when the media turn public opinion against you, while the state is sending troops equipped with “non-leth

As a EU citizen, I sure hope so. edit: my message seems to be confusing. I was answering the last sentence of the parent comment, saying that I hope as well that EU doesn't screw up.

If the only thing you're aiming at is to become a better programmer, you may be right. However, I think you should try looking at the bigger picture: when you teach, you make two people better programmers. And that's when teachi

Yeah, in fact that's exactly the same reason for me. I remember when I started using GNU/Linux, trying to grok the most useful shell commands, and stumbling into awk... then quickly going somewhere else.

You just have to need it more often ;) It can be really helpful in mundane data/logs analysis, for example.

I don't think they are. For example, you can choose to enable a Google-hosted library (say, jQuery) on a certain domain, because you want it to work, and then decentraleyes will do its part.

Sure, but those are usually not chatbots per se , but rather simple commands. The Wikipedia bot, for example, only performs a search on the website (and is less useful than the actual search when it does not directly find a page).

Wow. The translations are impressive indeed, I didn't expect that. That reminds me of the French traduction of Discworld, an amazing work by Patrick Couton.
