I learned from kingdom come deliverance that the best sermons are made when still drunk from the day before.

Les candidats suivants ont obtenu moins de voix aux dernières élections présidentielles:

Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, 2,06% Anne Hidalgo, 1,75%, Philippe Poutou, 0,77% Nathalie Artaud, 0,56%.

Maybe similar flavor, and maybe they are as bad and maybe you just are posting about something you don’t know/care about.

What they are doing is definitely illegal, but they only get the occasional slap on the wrist for it, which the billionaire owner pays. France does not really enforce rules concerning media surveillance, unless it suits rhé government’s agenda.

Points they were already checked for include: promoting racism, having racist claims, false claims about [abortion, immigrants, “leftists”, convictions of right-wing former president], edited images, using fake numbers, having shared staff with RT, and gaming the channel’s stats to fake compliance with the law regarding the diversity of what is shown.

CNews went to create a fascist candidate (Eric Zemmour) for the last presidential elections (the guy was pretty much unknown before). Oh, the guy even had a neonazi group (les Zouaves) for security during rallies.

Fu’nily, the neonazi leader (Marc de Caqueray Valmenier) was investigated so the channel owner (Bolloré) gave him a role as a security guard on his private island.

“Moral army”

France unfortunately has billionaire-backed C-News which is the same flavor as Fox-news.

That is just the US legal definition and it is very flawed.

Freedom of speech, more broadly, is the ability to express an opinion without fear of retaliation. This implies constraints on social organizations of all sizes.

Freedom of speech should also be compatible with the paradox of intolerance (unless intolerance is chosen to be socially accepted), which implies censorship at many levels.

Powers that be do not want an anonymous internet that helps illegal actions (illegal is large, from organizing slavery to organizing a protest that could endanger the established organization).

The rest is just posturing, seizing opportunities, and moving gradually. It’s just allowing government intelligence to do their job for the powers that be.

If we want to change this, we need more democracy. Like much more. And properly teaching basics of political science / sociology / macroeconomic so voters know where the tradeoffs are, because there are always tradeoffs.

France:

Butch is now seen as more polite in younger / woke(*) circles. Camionneuse (truck drivers) is old and derogatory even though still in use.

Femmes are fem, a younger word. NO old word AFAIK. I guess previous generations didn’t care as much / were aroused.

Lesbiennes. Older / derogative term was “broutte minou” ~ kitty grazer (and sounds about as cringy in both languages, definitely the older generations were aroused).

(*) I mean that in its original / positive use.

Edit : for men mostly English words are used (gay, top/bottom, bear/cub…)

I find the alpha of fdroid better than droidify.

I’m fond of prism file manager. Easier on the eyes.

On the drawing computer, KDE linux.

Just tested in KDE Linux, does not happen there.

I hope they study James 5…

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.[a] 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

Tintin also missing

I admit to having tested it only moving quickly. However, if moving slowly makes it appear and quickly makes it disappear, that means that Krita is probably just rendering the noise from the exact mouse position. If you see that in linux but not in Windows and Mac, it means that the probably the latter two have some kind of input smoothing option behind.

Tested on Android, doesn’t happen.
