Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
  • Assange has been held in [...] Prison on the outskirts of London for five years, and he previously spent seven years in self-exile at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London [...] until his asylum was withdrawn and he was forcibly carried out of the embassy and arrested in April 2019.

    12 years... fuck...

  • « Je n’ai pas peur, j’en ai marre » : avant les législatives, les quartiers populaires gagnés par la résignation
  • Les français de l'étranger peuvent voter en ligne pour les législatives. Ils ont sûrement leurs raisons pour ne pas étendre l'option à tous les votants.

    J'imagine que nous ne serions pas dans la situation que nous sommes actuellement si tous ceux qui ne votent pas par flemme de se déplacer indisponibilité se mettaient à voter en ligne. Et j'ose espérer pas en support du gouvernement actuel...

  • "Bougez avec La Poste" 💀

    7 juin, mon colis n'est toujours pas là...

    Update: mon colis (c'est juste une lettre avec suivi) et arrivé dans mon pays de réception... mais non livrable parce que "destinataire injoignable"... je suis en télétravail H24. Personne n'a sonné. Même pas un avis de passage dans la boîte aux lettres... Putain ça rend fou.

    Update 2: 30 minutes d'attente à mon bureau de poste local (qui va à la poste un vendredi à 13h?).

    Update 3: L'agent de poste qui a entré les données dans le système (en France) avait cafouillé mes coordonnées... Après argument et escalation au chef de service, j'ai ENFIN récupéré mon document.

    Vive les services publics !

    Could I get an autopsy done on myself while I'm alive?
  • Give yourself to science instead. Surely there are some companies hoping to try new products or experiments on live specimens.

    Maybe some trippy new drug. Maybe hot dogs for fingers. Not sure how that all works.

  • Do you know songs with a social or political message, about marking historical events of the 2000s, 2010s, 2020s?

    "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 was playing on the radio. The song was released in 1983 and describes the horror felt by an observer of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, mainly focusing on the 1972 Bloody Sunday incident where British troops shot and killed unarmed civil rights protesters.

    Are there other songs with a social or political message, about more recent historical events (2000s, 2010s, 2020s)? There are many about the 9/11 attacks.

    Below are some examples I know about:

    • "Where Is the Love?" by The Black Eyed Peas - Released in 2003, this song addresses various social issues, including terrorism, war, racism, and discrimination, reflecting on the state of the world post-9/11.

    • "American Idiot" by Green Day - Released in 2004, this song is a commentary on American politics and society during the presidency of George W. Bush, particularly criticizing the media and consumer culture.

    • "B.Y.O.B." by System of a Down - Released in 2005, this song addresses the Iraq War and critiques the hypocrisy of war and violence.

    Quand, comment et pourquoi "on" a remplacé "nous" dans la langue courante?

    En débattant de la grammaire française à l'apéro, nous en sommes venus à discuter du fait que le sujet "on" (3eme singulier) a remplacé "nous" (1er pluriel).

    De mon expérience, c'est rare aujourd'hui d'entendre "nous sommes allés ... / nous avons fait ..." dans mon cercle social. Ça sonne presque même faux 🫤

    Comment? Pourquoi? Est-ce-que la transition existe depuis des siècles? Est ce la même chose dans les communautés francophones hors-France?

    Windows 10 will start pushing users to use Microsoft accounts. How to turn it off.
  • Sorry, it was nearly a year ago, I don't remember the exact details. I'm an experienced IT specialist and they were not common issues I could easily debug and resolve myself. All I remember is I followed some tutorials to address some errors, which ended up creating other errors. I gave up after a couple consecutive evenings of troubleshooting.

  • Windows 10 will start pushing users to use Microsoft accounts. How to turn it off.
  • I had high hopes for Atlas for gaming.

    I formatted and started a fresh install. My main games (League Of Legends, Escape from Tarkov) would not install, with various errors. Then I ran into system errors with permissions.

    Also came across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctONKQByx-M

    Back to Win10 Pro + debloat script.

  • How does South Park get away with trashing identifiable people? Are they sued often?
  • That's it? You just need to say "you know this actor character we call Tom Cruise in our show, and does the same stuff as the real actor Tom cruise in real life, it's actually a fictional character unrelated to the real Tom Cruise in real life" and you Gucci?

  • How can you drive off a gas station with the hose still connected?

    You drove and pulled up to the gas station to fill your gas tank. You exited your vehicle, opened your gas tank cover, grabbed and put the dispenser nozzle in. You also had to pay at some point.

    How can you forget that the hose is still connected to your car when you drive off?

    What's the best way to read a book in a dark room?

    Hello everyone.

    I want to get back into healthy habits. This includes reading books before bed and no screen before bed.

    The thing is that (for now) my partner and our child all sleep in the same bedroom. I tend to get to bed after they are already asleep and don't want to disturb them.

    What's the best option to read in the dark that doesn't involve blue light screen (smartphone) or high luminosity?

    Are there e-readers with very very dim light that still allow comfortable reading?

    Thanks for your input.

    Why is Steam (Windows PC version) the only program (to my knowledge) that natively snaps to windows displays?

    Try it. Move your Steam window around. See how it snaps to the edges of your display(s)?

    Why is Steam the only program (I know) that does that natively? I would love for ALL my Windows programs to do that (without installing 3rd party softwares/scripting).

    EDIT : I'm on Win10.

    HyperX Cloud II - terrible USB driver

    Hello everyone.

    I'm seeking guidance for an issue I'm having with a new pair of HyperX Cloud II. I had an older model (shipped with 2 x 3.5mm jacks 3 pins ). I loved them, but they broke.

    I bought a new pair (73EUR | shipped with 1 x 3.5mm jack 4 pins + wired USB dongle). When wired through the USB dongle, I have terrible audio + microphone quality. The USB driver shows as "HyperX Virtual Surround Sound (Generic USB Audio)". The best supported format is 16 bit 48000Hz.

    When wired directly to the motherboard using 3.5 jacks (extra splitter 1xF 4pins to 2xM 3pins), I have good audio + microphone quality. The USB driver shows as "High Definition Audio Device". The best supported format is 24 bit 192000Hz.

    I installed the most recent driver from HyperX support page. No change. I forced a manual driver install on the USB dongle to use the Realtek HD Audio, but it isn't compatible/not supported and there's no audio ☹️

    Do I have a defective part? Or wrong Windows 10 driver? Or is this a shitty USB driver implementation by HyperX and there's nothing I can do about it?

    Any input is welcome.

    Thank you. Have a great day.

    Cheers.

    Is it recommended to wear a face mask when riding bicycle around cars?

    Hello.

    Twice a day I ride bicycle for 2km along a busy city road (2x2 lanes at 50km/h).

    From a health standpoint, is it recommended to wear a face mask (N95)? Does it stop exhaust fumes?

    Thank you.

    Twitch no longer supports Firefox ???

    Yesterday (19/08/2023) everything worked fine. Today (20/08/2023) I can no longer login to Twitch using Firefox. I restarted browser and cleared cache. No change.

    EDIT: I tried again after 30min and it works again. I have some privacy-oriented plugins but I don't play with custom useragent.
