I would say fire, flood and no tap water for three days.

Those are the most probable things that people are not ready for and should be. If you leave in a city near a river, chances are high that the general population (you included) underestimate vastly the risk of flooding. I learnt it this year with the heavy rains in my area.

Show them you can export the passwords and print them. It will help them to make the switch to know they cannot lose everything because it is on paper. It is what helped my parents

I realized I was anxious about climate change because I was depressed and not the other way around. I cannot change the world radically but I can do my part, convince others to do the same, vote for the right politicians, pressure companies and politicians to act for climate change… In a nutshell I can do a lot and being depressed or anxious doesn’t help

Staying child-free is likely the most effective personal decision you could make to reduce your environmental impact.

How do you reach this conclusion ?

I had a two laptop: one main for gaming and a shitty computer for school. I had to code on python. It was easier to setup on linux. I liked KDE. I installed kubuntu on the laptop for school.

As soon as I stopped playing videogames on my main computer I went for linux definitely

Edit: it was 10 years ago

Two mains reasons:

Attracting investors

Attracting talented workers by signaling they are doing technical research

Also, people working in the industry might not even use those products. They want a cool job not a cool product

Yes. You already know that.

As an aside, I love that they have to stick the “worlds second largest economy” line in, despite by every metric China being the worlds largest economy.

For those like me who didn’t understand: China is the first economy if we rank them by GDP PPP. USA is the first by nominal GDP. So depending if you use the definition of the WTO or the IMF, China or the USA is the first economy. But, what is funny is that even IMF says that the USA is the first economy and Chine the second. That doesn’t fit their own figures

Yeah, I don’t understand either. Why isn’t he happy to be able to see his family more often? It is great news for when his parents age and when he will have kids

I talk to people who knows people I know. That way I can get a recommendation for a job offer and know at what job offers I might have chances

What’s wrong with trustcafe?

LinkedIn. Needed to find a job in my domain. Also people often talk about their posts. It makes people really happy when I like a post they talked about to me. When I don’t have a job daily.

Tweeter for some very specific events. Something like two weeks a year

Hacker news when I do not have anything to do at work. I say to myself that it is to stay up to date and sometimes I can find nice blogs. I would say something like once a month.

The simple answer is that my favorite country is where my employment and loved ones are

Same for me

Thanks for the tips! It is motivating me actually :)

Thanks for the source

It is reassuring:

Secondly, the world corporate media completely distorted one of President Maduro’s phrases that if he lost the election there would be ‘a bloodbath’. What he meant was that the government programme of the extreme right was so brutal (wholesale privatisation of just about everything under the Venezuelan sun, including oil, gas, education, health, elimination of all social benefits and so forth) that would inevitably bring about a social reaction similar to the one against Milei in Argentina, thus leading a possible right-wing government in Venezuela to resort to force and repression, hence the President’s use of the term “bloodbath”.

Not at all. Several countries are debating whether they should work with the talibans to fight ISIS or not

Edit: the Wikipedia page is way more detailed than I expected (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State–Taliban_conflict)

How did you learn so many languages?

Effectivement, ta grammaire est bonne :)

How do you learn kanji?

I lived for some time in Japan so I learned to talk and to read the kanji useful in the everyday life (like in the restaurant or the bus). But I feel like reading the news is still too hard and I do not even know where to start.

Yeah, it is the hardest thing when learning a new language. When you learn a new concept that your language doesn’t use. For example, in Latin, German and Japanese, the grammatical case is very important but totally irrelevant in French and English. So I try when I speak French or English to think about the case. That way it comes more naturally to me when speaking German or Japanese.
