"But you're making the world uninhabitable by doing so? And you're still doing it?"

Compared to dictators (or wannabe), I get that Macron seems attractive. But he's proven to be pro-rich (taxes on the rich have been drastically cut under Macron) and anti-democratic (he's ignored the result of the last election and nominated a plethora of prime ministers from parties who lost).

Macron always has a knack to try to use things popular with younger people to score political gains. Infamously with the ZEvent, for instance.

It is now traditional for them to answer with "Shut your mouth Macron, this isn't about you".

Super interesting vid, thanks for the recommendation! And on Nebula, no less.

A moment of normalcy and laughter before the events of the evening unfold.

I love to see Meta lose, but I couldn't care less that "legacy media" lost ad revenue. This money should be paid to the public for being targeted with illegal privacy practices.

In my country (and in many othets I suspect), the number of pupils per teacher keeps increasing. It's really hard to individualize teaching when you have 30 pupils :(

Sure sure. But we're defunding all that under the current administration, so its a moot point.

Just a quick comment that I am not american ;)

If there really were a single dimension axis of smartness, won't there be a "smartest" and a "least smart" in every classroom? And if they're in the wrong class and they leave, won't there be two new pupils at the extremes? This argument of "you're in the wrong class" always sounded elitist to me.

The important is that the teacher tailors the teaching to the students. Spend more time on the ones who struggle, give extra stuff to do to the quickest (e.g. help teaching to other pupils).

I've also always been against separating children by "intelligence". Having a "smart" class and a "dumb" class is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

That being said, there are children who have special needs and who require a teacher who has the proper formation to help them.

The fact that their proportional share was 23% in the legislative election and now has 12% is not indicative that support for them diminished?

Disappointed that this comic isn't older and I can't binge read it :( But I'm eager to read the rest!

 

Honestly it's nightmare fuel. I consider my European city as pretty bad, but american cities always helps to put it in perspective.

I have been looking for alternative to Google products, including Google Maps and Waze. The best I've found is Organic Maps and OsmAnd. But I'm missing two features: public transport routes and live trafic.

For the latter point, I have used Magic Earth which uses OSM. But the app itself is not FOSS.

Does anyone know what their business model is? They don't charge for the app or service and the privacy policy does not seem like they commercialize data... What is their deal as a company?

 

Hi everyone. You can easily add a website shortcut to the home screen through a browser ("add to home screen"). However, if I change browser or if I need to clear the browser data, these links disappear. Maybe I'm using too unstable of a browser, but I'm tired of having to recreate my shortcuts.

Is there any way of adding a website shortcut to the home screen in a browser-agnostic way?
