Operating Systems for Different Life Stages
I know it's a joke, I hate to be that guy. But this meme feels old and obsolete now. I can't remember the last time I had to tweak my Linux. The fun is gone

Flatpak standing the test of time: modern Flatpak apps running on Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, a 7-year-old distro
Having a rock-solid Debian stable as a desktop with up-to-date softwares when it matters. It sounded impossible a few years ago but that might be achievable now with Flatpak. That's awesome.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads
There's only 34 million uBlock Origin users on Chrome? So, billions are using Chrome without any ad-blockers? That's crazy and unsafe

Cultural assimilation
I'm 45+ and French. This seems very misleading as smoking has been declining a lot the past couple decades.

I hate to tell you that because I appreciate your post, but it doesn't fit in /c/technology

As much as I understand your opinion, I'm really struggling to understand how couples meet outside of apps now. I've been in a long-term monogamous relationship for more than 20 years, I'm completely out of the loop.

I don't understand your comment. They are the good guys browser-wise but that doesn't mean they are good guys everywhere.

VLC - App stores were a mistake
VLC is still on Twitter? I thought they would be quick to migrate to Mastodon, slightly disappointed.
And thanks OP for linking outside of Twitter.

oldie but a goodie (relevant once again in light of him magically not having to pay the $450 million)
We'll see the year of the Linux desktop before seeing justice for him.

This is a real "AI" ad from the US government about the end of the mandatory use of the auto start-stop.
The entire video is WTF material. The AI-generated part is the least of my worries.

In my experience with this format, only the good ones are leaving and you're stuck with the rest.

I wrote some insults and it worked.
Pretty sure my insults will be used to train a model as well

Thanks for explaining. I never understood the American outrage about cultural appropriation but it's just about respecting sacred symbols from other cultures? Sounds about right, please feel free to dress as a Frenchman with beret and baguette as long as you respect our no-tipping policy.
Next item to discover on my list: why are Americans so upset about "black face". And that's what I witnessed in Sevilla (Spain) recently which did not seem racist to me at all: https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2023/01/05/polemica-espana-blackface-reyes-magos-trax/

The cycling revolution in Paris continues: Bicycle use now exceeds car use
Reply in thread
The last stat I've seen in Paris is that if you were to bike to work every day on a 9 to 5 job, then you will encounter rain 17 times per year in average. When that happens, as others said, you can just accept being wet and/or dress appropriately, or take public transport.

'We've lost a partner and a friend': Ukrainians somber as U.S. partnership disintegrates

From my country, it's just surreal to watch the lack of reactions from Americans. It looks like they mostly support the actions of the co-nazi dictators, a really bad picture to say the least.

So many reasons for parents to give a big push when the children are 18.
So many reasons children want to get out at 18.
