  • He is one of the root cause of the overspending as he has given a lot of taxes cut (that would have make the balance better) to his very rich friends.

    So don’t tell me he’s trying to balance the budget. He did tell that publicly but of course did the contrary. Look at the balance when he took power several years ago, look now. He was fully in command all this time.

    I paid a lot of taxes not to give gifts to already rich people but for public services. He only cut public services.

    But as he loose control from the population, he want to make us fear of an economic crisis to make old people vote for his party again.





  • I totally agree with you here. These rules don’t make racism disappear but make it far more difficult to use it as a tool (passively or on-purpose).

    At least if someone (anybody, including politician, company) use these terms, they will be immediatly stopped with more ease than your current system.

    You still have a need for watcher (justice system, neutral party like associations) to keep track BUT nothing official can track your race in any documents at all level. That include the resume of an employe or even a customers service listing. You will have immediate sanction and bad PR for the company/individual if you do that.

    Same for your religion or your political party by the way. They are too much officialy tracked and categorized!

    Racism will always exists unfortunately but all these laws can reduce the global impact on the population. And put on shame the one using it as discriminative element.


  • We are in 2024 and they still use the word “race” to segregate the American population in several groups. So no surprise a DNA service could be so popular in the USA.

    If they were American citizen and just that - without subdivision and the legal right to ask or use their gene, color skin or whatever_they_think_is_important_to_distinguish_themself - well a lot of issues and strange “behaviour” (aka racisme) would have disapeared.

    Or at least decreased as nobody would have the legal tools and data to enforce it: gerrymanding, blaming a vote on a “community”, having your town split in “community” sectors and no shame at all to call it like that officially! Which others country put “chinatown” on their map?

    As a teenager, I was shocked by this fact when visiting the USA 25 years ago. That and the fact i have found in a normal marketplace unprotected ammunition sold near the baby milk. “baby stuff, baby stuff, 9mm ammo… what!?!”

    This DNA service is just the result of this global problem: the american society and its laws are still allowing passive racism.

    So americans want to prove (to themself, to others?) via DNA results that they can’t be racist because they have a black friend sorry : black DNA ancestors.

    Some will tell you: “ho it’s just for fun”. But is fun really the only motivation here?

    And congrat to them as they don’t only expose themself (genetic data are priceless and should be protected at all costs) but also they expose all their children, children’s children, etc. These chidren probably wouldn’t have agreed to that if they were born.






  • First time war?

    It has always been like that and it’s a reason a war should be avoided when you don’t have the power to maintain your military and economic force…

    And it’s exactly why main leaders of the worlds warned russia months before the invasion until the first day of the invasion: “Are you sure? You should not move so many troops near ukraine border for your ’exercice’ Because you have more too loose as a super-power country”

    He didn’t listen so now pay back!







  • Switched to arch linux last november, didn’t had to launch my backup VM Win10 at all. I even managed to play at StarCitizen with better performance than under Win 10…

    Just wow the progress of Linux, Wine & co since my last linux try (Ubuntu, around 2010).

    I just need now to find a linux way for my music stack and all the VST (my steinberg usb card is recognized and play properly oO) and Windows will be history at home…


  • When the first stage of the invasion started, Macron was the president of Europe. So he had to play his role and present the view of the european leaders, even if it was not aligned with our internal views.

    I don’t like him, didn’t vote for him the first time (2nd time i did vote for him to avoid marine le pen election, founded by russian banks btw…) but you can’t use his behavior (amenable), trying to avoid escalation, as “yeah i’m your buddy putin, go ahead” or "i totally trust you’.

    Our head of intelligence was fired because HE didn’t present the invasion as realistic (based on normal logic it really silly)… but the whole intel community was fully aware of putin desires. President included. He knew Putin was playing with him. Everybody knew.

    But he had to play his role, as EU leader at this time.
