The vote wasn't very well known so only 8% of parisians voted. In addition is was only open to the resident of Paris itself, all the people working in Paris but commuting from the suburbs couldn't vote. Basically less than 200 000

While it's not yet easy to install on anything else than a Steam Deck, SteamOS is also a great example of an immutable distribution.

I guess you can use NixOS for your desktop but that's not the main focus of this distribution. It's more to create images to deploy server-side applications.

A 0% is always better than paying upfront. There is the money you make from your saving account, the safety of having more available savings... The only downside of taking a 0% loan is if you're bad at finance and getting that loan mak

CO2 emissions are going to happen, we need to reduce them in a meaningful way. We do that by looking at the breakdown of emissions. The biggest sector is enery use in the industry (24%), next is buildings, mostly heating (17.5), then transp

Not having children isn't going to solve the climate crisis because the effect are at a very long term. Children have a very small carbon footprint, they only have a significant footprint when they're adults so we're talking

This is the reality of air travel, 90% of the flights (thus the CO2 emissions) are made by a handful of frequent travellers. Moreover those are very unlikely to be willing to cut on air travel for CO2 emission reasons. So you shouldn't

I know it's not the same, but both of these games can be played on cloud gaming (Geforce Now). I have a subscription to GFN, not to play games not supported on Linux but to play on max specs without needing an expensive rig, and both G

Nowadays you don't need to mess with Wine manually, there are a lot of tools to install Windows binaries just like they were Linux binary. You'll even forget you're using Windows versions. You can check ProtonDB for compatibi

Yeah it was a very confusing read, and when I finally understood the point of the writer I wondered if he wrote a confusing article on purpose to create a "Aha!" moment when you finally understand what he's saying, to illustr

Yes I believe Singapore was more of less kicked out of Malaysia because there were too many ethnical Chinese?

by eloisant 4y ago
That's a bad example because France isn't really an ethnicity. It's a group of regions that used to speak different languages even after World War II. You have Bretons that are ethnically close to Irish/Scotish, Alsacien

Cubicle are so much better than open offices, it's funny to think that in the 90's they were considered a symbol of employees being treated like cattle.

This is too bad because Citymapper is a great app and Google Maps is still very far from providing the same quality as specialized apps for public transit routing.

Yes, that's the correct explaination. Also note that in the early days of Pachinko, the manager would give a few hammer hits on the side of the nails of the machines to change their orientation slightly every night, so a machine that w

Do people really post their family albums publicly? Posting privately for your extended family yes, but that should never be posted publicly.

Going to the pool and posting online are 2 different things. I would be happy with a law forbidding to post public pictures of your underage kids, regardless of skin exposure.

Not just old but early adapter I believe, because when cell phones became really mainstream it was already the mini-sim format!

by eloisant 4y ago
In France for example SIM cards where a thing since cellphones exist, however I've lived in Japan and US in the 2000s and in both countries there was no SIM, you had to go through your carrier to change phones and they would setup your

Something I don't understand: why eSIM or iSIM have to be hardware, why can't it be pure software, some credentials stored on the storage of the phone?

Also if your revenue drop, it's easier to move as a tenant than to sell your house.

The problem isn't retirees who paid out their house already, it's the households who still have a big mortgage on their house.

There is nothing bizarre about house appreciating despite being used when you realize that it's not the house that appreciate, it's the land. The land your house is build on doesn't get wear-and-tear, 100 years ago or 100 yea

And because they pay a shitton of money, they have a constant flow of candidates and can afford to miss out on many great ones.

Of course people living in the city can afford to live in the city... Otherwise they wouldn't be living in the city. I think it's still interesting if we consider that many people in the county are pushed out of the city because t

Yes, I use a Supernote (competitor to ReMarkable) and it's socially way better than using a laptop. The laptop has a screen turned to its user, meaning other people don't see their screen and it visually creates a "wall"
