I knew I could provide my code under multiple licenses and let the user choose the one they want.

Today I learnt GitHub supports it, by adding a comment in my code for their tooling like:

Please drive carefully: scientists plan to transport volatile antimatter for first time Cern researchers are testing traps capable of moving antimatter, which explodes into energy as soon as it comes into contact with regular matter

"Le salaire de la peur", le remake 2026

Yes, but the "ecosystem" was prepared well before Trump, by the GOP southern strategy, the Reagan administration, the Chicago economists, the Kochs, Murdoch, the Tea Party...

Trump is only the rotten cherry on the shit cake.

The icon Unix error message: "You don't exist. Go away!"

And the terrifying fact is that a majority of people voted for him BECAUSE he is the worst people who has ever lived.

They have been brainwashed for years into such a hate of imaginary "libs" as to only want to hurt "them", whatever the consequences. Trump was for them the perfect weapon.

Je n'écoutais que des vinyles dans ma jeunesse (bien obligé...), et je me souviens surtout de l'enfer du nettoyage de ces machins. Car sans nettoyage poussé et régulier, on entendait de suite la dégradation.

Je confirme.

Je ne suis pas audiophile, et mes oreilles de 65 ans ne sont plus très sensibles, mais le son est vraiment plus riche sur Qobuz que Spotify, et ce même sur le haut parleur d'un smartphone... Tellement que j'ai du mal à croire que ils partent du même master.

I would advise setting up daily automated backups.

This happens sometime to me (with firefox). I just then restore the browser directory from yesterday.

Daily backups are invaluable for so many things...

I even make a backup of my firefox state on each change, and keep last 100 backups.

infancy

"We hold the adult to account" demonstrate my point: it is because we do not consider the child to be able to properly take decisions (see "mens rea"), so they are not considered responsible of their acts.

(At least in civilized countries, thus not all USA states).

Of course NOT.

Kids cannot "choose" to have sexual relations with an adult, because the laws consider that their consent can be too easily manipulated and is not a free choice.

See also laws about "vulnerable adults", "elder abuse", "Financial Exploitation", "Contractual Capacity"...

Laws formally protect them, more than adults.

We are discussing of the concept of democracies.

Of course, people violate the laws. It does not mean there should be no laws. That's why the civilized societies have legislative, judiciary and executive powers

The "Fallacy of the Perfect Solution"

Basically, if you say children can vote you also must say they can decide to have sexual relations with adults.

Technically, children benefit from protections (legal and civil responsibilities, pedophilia, ...) because society, for the common good, finds that they must be protected from dangers they have not yet the cognitive abilities to to face

It is logical to also consider they lack the abilities to vote

All 16yo are treated equally. None can vote.

QED.

You miss the point totally.

There is NO 16-year old that can vote. So all children are "equal in rights".

You would have a point if some 16yo, by chance of birth, could vote.

Inventing new weird meaning to words is a bit... laughable?
childish? Trumpian?

We can all also invent our own meaning for democracy if you go this way.

Trump's new nuclear nightmare in Iran "This may be the worst planned war in history."

Trump has just helped Iran create its nuclear bomb.

Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa "US citizens" cannot vote.

... but this only amounts to 1.2% of the population, not 30%

Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen - Wikipedia

No for felons, because:

"Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be based only on considerations of the common good."

What is forbidden is restraining the rights at birth (skin color, gender, ...).

But yes, because ...

Yup, I was speaking of the modern definitions. Even the weakest ones like the UN one:

Comme si on manquait de craft-survivals :-) :-) :-)

GOP Messaging: “We Are Not a Democracy” - The American Leader The Republican Party has promoted the narrative that we are not a democracy to prepare its constituents for minority rule.

Also, the "The USA are a republic but not a democracy" is nefariously loaded MAGA propaganda. We should avoid repeating it.

theamericanleader.org/timeline-eve...

We agree.

I was just pointing that the original poster seemed to think that the term "democracy" (and also "republic") had much more requirements than in reality and in definition (aka, both de facto and de jure)

Oui, mais j'ai l'impression que c'est ce que font en vrai la plupart des gens.

Bluesky par exemple est rempli de "teasers" vers des articles sur des sites webs / blogs / forums... c'est vraiment la niche écologique du RSS, mais avec l'énorme avantage de la sérendipité, le gros manque du RSS.

Perso, pour moi je continue de mettre le contenu sur un "site web" (le mien, ou un forum spécialisé, ou github/gitlab/...).

Et j'utilise les réseaux sociaux pour pousser des notifs "RSSiennes" (2 ce matin sur BS).

Et je lis du RSS (via FreshRSS) + generateur de RSS pour les sites dépourvus.

Je dirais que l'assemblée c'est:

- Une minute de silence pour un nazillon

- Des années de silence pour l'émergence des faits...

Since June 14, 1946.

And that's why you need gun and arms control.

Every weapon, from a pistol to a nuke can risk falling in the hands of a senile criminal maniac.

Exactly.

"Democracy" only implies that all people (whatever their sex, wealth, ...) have the right to vote to elect their representation.

The details on the mechanics on how the representatives are selected and elected is not part of the definition. Nor the recall or impeachment mechanisms.
