All of that, for a traffic jam. Imagine turning 4 lanes in a train track carrying 500 person every 5 min in both directions and one lane in a bike lane. It’s still 20 lanes for car, but you suddenly have decent public transport which would be safer and faster than that gigantic traffic jam
Interesting, I always thought the Schufa was a government service. But isn’t it way lighter than the US “rating” ?
pretty sure that having “credit agencies” keeping track of people credit history is a huge violation of GDPR and would be illegal in the EU. At least I never heard about that. The only similar things I know is the central bank keeping a listing of “unpaid credit” which make ban you from getting any new credit for a certain time. (And as it’s a public institution, you have the right to contest any writing there in court if it 's not justified, stuff like identity theft being a classic one)
A TV scenarist would have written that plot, we would have thought it’s not realistic, especially that part on the right wing, with that posh lady (Ms Pecresse, head of the Parisian region) rolling up her sleeve to kick traitor Ciotti out.
Plot twist, in most of these cities, it was already hard to reach 30 due to the traffic. However, a similar movement happens in rural area too with a speed limit at 30, a big speed-bump, and a speed camera to make sure you don’t go faster
What the fuck ? Quoi la baise ?
Looks like that at best France won’t have a majority, at worst we’ll have Ms Le Pen as a Prime minister (France is a semi presidential regime, and if the President doesn’t have the majority, most of the power shifts toward the prime minister, with a president only relevant for international policy)
In the East sea of China
I don’t want to sound like a tankie supporting winnie the poo, but I assume the Dutch would do the same if a Chinese frigate passes by the North Sea.
Dutch have the right to sail in international waters, and Chinese have the right to send a fighter to check them out
As much as I find the idea great. The killer feature of TikTok is how easy it is to publish a video with filters and musics. Not sure how well a federated application can follow. Then, there is TikTok algorithm which is a common critic of the app but is how you get a never-ending flow of content which isn’t uninteresting enough for you to turn the app off
Is that already done? Remember the big protest against it 10years ago.
In the end how useless it is? And how much of a money pit it is/was
High interest rate,
Competition starts to offer decent electric car
People who can afford a fancy car already got one
Musk behaves like a fascists
Not a surprise
You can follow a lemmy community on Mastodon, and even comment from Mastodon.
It’s not optimum, you see it like the community retooting each post and then the comments as reply to post but it works
Actually, the french secularist law were written more than 100 years ago to kick out nun and priest from public school.
I am curious on how school can skip the whole gender identity part considering how central it is in social science and life-science.
i like the idea in saying that boys and girls are the same and that it doesn’t impact who they are more than having blonde hair or large feets. However, if you through art/litterature/history you can quickly find out that men and women aren’t treated the same. If you to basic biology, you come to some “difference between boys and girls”, and may want to discuss which of these difference are biology, and which one are sociology.
Then, it’s not like LGBT and intersex individual are novelty, and that kids won’t ask question about them (selves). So again something pretty hard to skip. To take medieval history, I don’t know how much British kid know about the “acursed king” and the 100 years war, but Edward II being more sexually interested in Lord Despenser than in his wife Isabel the she wolf from France played a big role in these historical sequence of events
TIL that Rolls Roys is doing SMR.
I am pretty curious on how this new trend of SMR will evolve in 20 years, I can see how it can be simpler and faster to build than full scale plant. However, I am not sure you’d save by multiplying the NIMBY to deal with and the whole support staff.
How long was the exposure ? Feel like you used a long exposure or a high gain, and that it wasn’t that nice in real life
Considering how powerful is the copyright mafia (Remember that the pirate bay founder got jail-time) I totally understand why the people running the instance are doing so. I get why user are pissed off, but they’re free to host their own instance and deal by themselves with the legal liability
In term of UX the miss/calc/shark key beat Mastodon.
However, Mastodon has way more instances (including many ran by well established organisations) and a stabler codebase (while, regarding *key, I am a bit concerned by the amount of forks)
It’s the same fediverse so you would see the sa me federation from both
I hope that these declarations will be sufficient to bring back Putin to the negotiation table
to be fair, USA is very protectionist as well,
I’m having good laugh watching Americans call everyone protectionism but passing a law to force foreign company to sell their social media to an US company.
Realistically, I doubt the western european public opinions are ready to accept 20 year old kids coming home in a coffin. If we put boots on the ground, I expect the war to be more deadly than recent middle-east operations.
So while we could kick of Russia ass, I don’t think we’re ready to pay the political price, at least for Ukraine.
