Framework supporting far-right racists?
Reply in thread
Wether you like it or not, some people don't have the luxury to stop fighting, even more so right now with so-called democratic governments that brutalize, lock up and torture people for their opinions, their sexuality or their skin color.
Ignore these debates if you wish, and disconnect from social networks if you need to rest. But don’t call for people to stop fighting when their very existence is put at risk by people like DHH, that Framework decided to support.

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.
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.

Jellyseerr and Overseerr merging into one, gonna be called Seerr
Reply in thread
No, Jellyseerr is a selfhosted webapp where you request movies and shows, which will be searched and downloaded by your configured Sonarr/Radarr, which will populate your Jellyfin.
You can see it as a user-friendly Sonarr+Radarr front-end, that you can sync with Jellyfin users, so they can go and request content directly without you manually adding things in Radarr/Sonarr.

[Santé] Fronde tarifaire. Pourquoi certains médecins n'hésitent plus à appliquer des dépassements d'honoraires, à 35 euros ou plus la consultation
Reply in thread
On coupe la poire en deux pour les heures, disons qu'un médecin gagne 63,5k pour 56h par semaine. Si on rapporte à du 35h, ça ne fait que du 39 600€ brut annuel.
Moins de 40k brut annuel aux 35h, alors qu'ils font un Bac+8 absolument atroce, à la limite de l'esclavage pendant plusieurs années lorsqu'ils font de l'internat dans les hôpitaux, pour faire un métier absolument essentiel avec des responsabilités colossales puisque la vie de leurs patients est en jeu.
Un développeur avec un Bac+5 quelconque sans grande responsabilité gagne presque autant et sans s'user la santé.

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.

Liberalism vs. Leftism
Reply in thread
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.

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.

"Why investing in new nuclear plants is bad for the climate"
Reply in thread
L'argument est recevable uniquement si on occulte tout le problème des renouvelables. C'est l'argument favori des anti-nucléaires, qui se base sur des études de LCOE (Levelized Cost Of Energy). Elles consistent grosso modo à tenter d'estimer le coût du cycle de vie d'une centrale électrique d'un certain type (nucléaire, solaire, éolienne, gaz, charbon...) en tenant en compte de plusieurs paramètres, comme le facteur de charge moyen, la durée prévue de fonctionnement moyenne, le coût du démantèlement moyen, etc.
Sauf qu'une centrale nucléaire, tu la construis sur un terrain vague, tu la branche au réseau, tu l'alimentes, tu l'entretiens, tu la démontes à la fin et finit. C'est simple à estimer les coûts, déjà parce qu'on en a déjà fait plein, et ensuite parce que la majorité du coût total, tu l'investis pour la construction.
Sauf que pour l'éolien ou du solaire, déjà le facteur de charge va changer selon où tu les places, ensuite plus on investit dedans plus ça risque de coûter plus cher que prévu en terrain et en ressources (surtout si pénurie) étant donné leur très faible densité énergétique.
Mais la plus grosse arnaque, c'est que les LCOE ne tiennent pas compte de la non-pilotabilité de l'éolien et le solaire :
Alors la réponse habituelle à ce genre de critique, c'est "Oui mais on peut faire de la redondance, oui mais on peut faire des STEPs, oui mais on peut faire des batteries".
Ok, mais tout ça, d'une part c'est pas compté dans les LCOE, donc au final l'éolien et le solaire vont coûter plus cher que ce qui est prétendu, et ensuite on n'a tout simplement aucune idée de la faisabilité à l'échelle de nations, voire de continents, que ce soit en termes de ressources, d'espace utilisé, etc.
En conclusion, le nucléaire ce n'est pas simple, mais au moins on a la preuve que ça marche très bien, et on sait ce dans quoi on s'embarque.

Cards on smartphones are more secure than the real cards. You need a pin on your phone to pay, with a card you can pay up to 50€ without any approval.
Also, should a transaction be intercepted, the pirate would only acquire a Digital Account Number (DAN), which can be invalidated to disable the virtual card on the phone. You can still use the physical card and you can add another virtual card on the same, or on a different device.
If a payment made with your physical card is intercepted, the pirate gets the Primary Account Number (PAN) instead. It means that you must disable the real card as well as any virtual card relying on it, and requires you to await a replacement from your bank, and switch all your payments to this new card.
