Québécois ici. Je suis arrivé sur Lemmy suivant l’exode de Reddit l’an passé. Sur Reddit, je n’étais pas exposé aux sous-Reddit Français et les seules communautés francophones que je visitais régulièrement étaient celles du Québec et de Montréal.

Mais peu de temps après mon arrivée ici, j’ai commencé à voir le contenu Français, et maintenant je suis vous discussions politiques, ce qui me donne plus de matériel de conversation avec mes collègues de bureau qui sont des ex-pats Français.

It’s not density, it’s mass. A mass of 1kg compressed to the density of the Sun’s core would pull the Earth with just as much force as a 1kg ball of styrofoam.

You can do that today. Just ask Chat-GPT to write you a bash script for something non-obvious, and then debug what it gives you.

Being in prison would be a good one.

People complain about the total cost too get everything in The Sims, but I don’t remember anyone complaining about the total cost of every song in Rock Band.

I only take medicine when the symptoms literally prevent me from functioning or threaten my life. With fever, I actually wrap myself up to keep warm, which lets my body “rest” instead of working to raise my temperature. This approach appears to have helped me get through many infections quickly, though I admit this is anecdotal.

Someone would just release a mod that replaces the ads with Monty Python sketches.

Doing more with less until we can do everything with nothing!

Unoccupied real estate should get taxed proportionally with the time they’ve been unoccupied, to put pressure on the owners to either sell for less or rent for less. Sitting on empty real estate is a huge waste of resources, and should never be the economically optimal choice.

Daylight come and me want go home.

Et le français n’existe pas, c’est juste du latin mal prononcé.

Could be another holodeck malfunction.

Which reminds me, that comic needs more Moriarty.

You mean, they became extinct?

Autocorrect?

If you use it before it has learned you writing idiosyncrasies?

Ils vont le recharger, puis le mettre dans une fusée SpsceX qui explosera quelques instants après le lancement.

On my Pixel 1, I wasn’t careful about the battery, regularly draining it fully and then charging it to 100% (and leaving it on the charger for extended periods) and after 18 months, I was already looking into getting the battery replaced due to greatly reduced capacity.

At a friend’s suggestion, I installed Accubattery which alerts me whenever the battery is about to go outside the 20-80% window. I almost always unplug from the charger when I get to 80%. That second battery on the Pixel 1 kept most of its capacity for 4 years. Now my mom has that phone, with the same battery, and even though the capacity went down a bit since, it’s more than enough for her needs still.

You’re trying to apply objectivity to a very subjective area. I’m not saying it’s impossible, and you should by all means try it, but maybe it would be a good idea to try something that has a better chance, first, such as this:

How about an open platform for scientific review and tracking? Like, whenever a new discovery or advance is announced, that site would cut through the hype, report on peer review, feasibility, flaws in methodology, the ways in which it’s practical and impractical, how close we are to actual usage (state of clinical trials, demonstrated practical applications, etc.)

And it would keep being updated, somewhat like Wikipedia, as more research occurs. It needs a more robust system of review to avoid the problems that Wikipedia has, and I don’t have the solution for that, but I believe there’s got to be a way to do it that’s resistant to manipulation.

Gowron was killed while he was still chancellor. They’re just using his image for advertising purposes, but you’ll never get to meet him, and he won’t go to court with/for you.

Ch’Pok had a more modest practice, but he’ll represent you personally.

He did go a bit loopy after he bumped his head in ST5 (A.K.A. “I can’t believe it’s canon!”)
