Man, we're not even 3 months in (6%) and everyone starts preparing for world war 3. Americans needs to step up now.

Well, the comment that showed bust above yours shows an article from NYT doing exactly that 😮‍💨

Ma seule commande chez CDiscount m'avait donné l'impression que c'était des escrots. Il manquait une partie de ma commande et le robot du service client m'a fait attendre au moins 30min, en écoutant de la pub, sur un numéro surtaxé (genre wtf, je savais même pas que ça existait encore en 2020).

Je sais que Darty/Fnac a ses gros défauts aussi, mais à choisir ça me semble bien moins horrible que Amazon & CDiscount.

Hell? I don't see what you mean, that's a fairly simple concept!

It also has the best learning resources I've ever found for a programing language, which are free BTW.

I've tried to found a Python course for a friend (paid or not), and I couldn't find anything that looked close to the quality of the Rust book. Some paid online courses have to be awesome but they are all paywalled before the first relevant chapter 🤷

I moved to NixOS this year and it really felt like something new. You need to learn a little functional language for configuration (nix) and can manage your whole computer on a descriptive and reproducible way.

There is also an awesome side effect : packages (and OS configurations) are built the same way as you build your configuration. For me, it meant that it was the first time it was obvious how my distribution works and how I could contribute. It took me about one hour to submit my first ever PR to update a package : https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/290710

Also note that you can experience nix (the package manager) on any distro, if you want a safe try you could for example have fun with home-manager to handle your dotfiles.

What you mean is Greenland is playing with world war 3?

A bit out of context my you recall me of some thinking I heard recently about lying vs. bullshitting.

Lying, as you said, requires quite a lot of energy : you need an idea of what the truth is and you engage yourself in a long-term struggle to maintain your lie and keep it coherent as the world goes on.

Bullshit on the other hand is much more accessible : you just have to say things and never look back on them. It's very easy to pile a ton of them and it's much harder to attack you about any of them because they're much less consequent.

So in that view, a bullshitter doesn't give any shit about the truth, while a liar is a bit more "noble". 0

You don't need any knowledge of computers to understand how big of a deal it would be if we actually built a reliable fact machine. For me the only possible explanation is to not care enough to try and think about it for a second.

Yeah but I think Kagi is a meta search engine, so at least the technical dependency on Yandex is limited 🤞

I also have high hope for the Ecosia x Qwant project but I don't think there is any specific funding yet, so it's just about sharing Qwant's advancement on building its index 🫤 Let's stop wasting all our money on AI and let's build our own datacenters and raise enough funding for a few dozens more search engineers!
