  • Yeah no. France is going head first into fascism, Macron is doing a very good job continuing the work of Napoleon and De Gaulle at destroying whatever “protocols” still protect democracy, while at the same time making the nazis look like moderate right, and the moderate left look like horrible far-left extremists antisemitic communists.

    What is happening is a repeated act of Macron to show that he can do whatever he wants as “the boss” (and just that is enough into fascism to be considered closer to a form of dictatorship than a democracy), and people are getting used to it.

    France has been considered by the International Federation for Human Rights, Human Rights League and World Organisation Against Torture to be dropping out of democracy since 2017.

    This is not a hiccup, this is a collapse. France is on its way to be a fully fledged fascist country, and it probably is too late to stop it nonviolently.









  • So many people defending alcohol, it shows the current alcoholism problem.

    You get told that something useless (yes alcohol is useless, if you don’t agree you might already have a problem), that causes a LOT of deaths, violence and sickness, is absolutely not healthy (I struggle understanding how people were still believing that shit), and your reaction is to try to argue against it?

    Then people panic at the mention of sweeteners because “maybe they’re dangerous”, but for alcohol which is one of the biggest sources of avoidable deaths, nah, it’s probably fine, no matter what science says.

    Addiction is a sad thing.




  • Messy code by humans generally isn’t logical because it went through multiple modifications/deletions that are not visible anymore.

    I’m not sure that bad devs are much better than AIs, and they’re the ones using them to code now. I think the problem stems from not giving a shit about code making sense, and AIs just increase the problem.

    I mean, I saw code that was essentially saying things like “if True == False” and when asking about what the purpose of the block was to the original dev (who wasn’t even such a bad dev), they just had no idea. Humans are chaotic and nonsensical and messy code comes from that, not from a weird logic, and you can’t comprehend it most of the times because it’s a mix of confusion, lack of planning, mistakes and laziness.
