  • I'm not blaming the single person who did a mistake, I'm blaming the negligence of the companies that cut corners for profit, so most of them.

    Your first comment read as if organizations where this happens couldn't have bad consequences. Your new comment explains what you meant better, and I agree.

  • C'est bibi
  • Comment font les Estoniens ?

  • Qu’est-ce que la sous-bourgeoisie ?
  • Verticale, subie, promotions uniquement décidées par les supérieurs. Toutes les autres composantes de la société fonctionnent différemmen

    Il y a tout un tas de composantes de l'état et des services publics et de l'état qui fonctionnent aussi comme ça, recrutement et promotion par les supérieurs. C'est plutôt le contraire qui est l'exception, par exemple les postes élus démocratiquement, c'est une claire minorité des postes.
    Qu'est ce que je ne comprends pas dans ton message ?

  • C'est bibi
  • Je pense qu'ils doivent être inquiets des attaques informatiques si le vote par internet devient possible pour tout le monde. Je pense que pour l'instant le public visé est trop petit pour motiver les acteurs malveillants. Rien qu'un DDoS de quelques heures pourrait fragiliser l'élection.
    Je viens de lire un autre point intéressant sur le fait qu'il y a plus de risque de pression d'un tiers quand on vote en privé que quand on vote dans l'isoloir d'un lieu public.

  • Ok, people will always fuck up, so what do you do?

    The majority of industries that actually have immediate and potentially fatal consequences do exactly this, and have been for more than a generation now.

    All the organizations (including public) getting ransomware and data stolen, it's because the consequences are not that bad? It is not gross negligence?

  • To those of you with nothing to hide: One day you might have. Because you don’t make the rules.

  • [Lundi méta] Etes-vous satisfait-e-s de la gestion de Jlai.lu, de ses communautés? Avez-vous des suggestions? On en parle ici
  • Je suis d'accord avec le problème du manque de pluralisme ici, ça fait un peu pensée unique parfois, et la modération n'est pas particulièrement politiquement modérée non plus. Je ne vois pas trop de solution, cette orientation de départ repousse l'arrivée de diversité.
    Les tentatives d'apporter autre chose, des contenus moins politisés par exemple, sont souvent noyées par les postes politiques. Après les élections ce sera les negotiations et les cohabitations puis 2027, je ne pense pas que ça va cesser.

  • Aperçu du vote sur internet aux élections législatives 2024 pour les français de l'étranger

    Le lien pour voter se trouve à la fin de la liste des circulaires des candidats de la circonscription : https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/services-aux-francais/voter-a-l-etranger/elections-legislatives-2024/consulter-les-circulaires-des-candidats-et-voter-par-internet/article/consulter-les-circulaires-des-candidats-11eme-circonscription

    Pour se connecter, un identifiant envoyé par courriel, un mot de passe envoyé par SMS. Un troisième code envoyé par courriel pour confirmer le vote.

    Interface simple et efficace, un peu lente depuis Tokyo. Le code de confirmation a mis quelques minutes à arriver, j'ai rafraichi trop tôt par impatience, ce qui a annulé le code précédant. Au bout du 3ᵉ coup, ça a fonctionné. Au final ça m'a pris environ 15 min, tranquillement depuis chez moi.

    This is nothing short of a miracle.
  • They tend to be one-hit wonders.

  • Heatwave is no joke...
  • Formally yes, but I believe that's an (American English?) informal way of speaking where "nobody" actually means "anybody". Similarly to how "I don't need no man" means "I don't need any man".

  • Heatwave is no joke...
  • I find 27⁰C comfortable when not moving at home.

    So it's the same comment.
    Let me know if I have made a mistake.

  • It's going. I'm alive.
  • What annoys me with this culture is when they expect foreigners to use the same exhuberant language and they think something is wrong with you if you don't.

  • It's true though
  • You're welcome back!

  • I miss console ads being this weird
  • I feel like it means: we are not like Nintendo, we make video games for adults (and children who want to play like adults).

  • Explain these humps.
  • No, it's Becky.

  • Richard P Feynman on “Why are we here?”

    > I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything. There are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask "Why are we here?" I might think about it a little bit, and if I can't figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose - which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell.

    Random observations from a Parisian in Tokyo: Spring in Japan, after the famous sakura, it's time for tsutsuji (azalea, rhododendron)

    They contain a sweet honey that you can taste by sucking the bottom, a friend made me taste. I just did some research about it for this post. It appears some are actually toxic, and it's very hard to tell the difference.

    ろぱと Random observations from a Parisian in Tokyo: The number of different electronic payment methods is insane.

    cross-posted from: https://jlai.lu/post/6118881

    > An illustration of the "ultra free" market in Japan, is the insane amount of ways to pay at the cashier. It seems every financial group thought they could do better than the other, and for some reason I don't understand, they didn't eat each other, they just coexist. > > The main categories are: bank card, payment apps connected to bank account, transportation cards, electronic money. They may work through card reader, no-contact, bar code scan or QR code scan. For the last two, you are either scanned or you have to scan them. > > Also, Japan loves "points". If you know the cashback system, where you get something like 1% of your bill back, in Japan they usually get points back, which are of course limited to shops accepting those points. So on top of payment methods you also have a dozen of points system, either specific to the shop brand or from a different company that may have agreements with different merchants. > > Despite that, cash remains essential, it's very common to end up in a restaurant that only accepts cash, even the convenience of paying your house bills at the konbini requires cash.

    In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows

    I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

    Which beloved artist of your country should I mention with your compatriots to warm up the atmosphere?

    I've noticed that when meeting a foreign person, mentioning that you like a beloved artist from their country is one of the best way to create a good vibe.

    Which revered artist/group (not necessarily musician) from your place should I learn about?

    A few examples I'm thinking about (correct me if I'm wrong):

    Country | Artist ---|--- Argentina | Carlos Gardel Australia | Powderfinger Austria | Mozart, Falco, Thomas Bernhard Beligum | Jacques Brel, Stromae Brazil | Raul Seixas, Zé Ramalho Cabo Verde | Cesária Évora Canada | Leonard Cohen, Céline Dion, Gordon Lightfoot Egypt | Umm Kulthum France | Daft Punk Germany | Kraftwerk, Die Ärzte, Franz Kafka Iceland | Björk Italy | Elio e le Storie Tese Malawai | Evison Matafale Mali | Salif Keita Scotland | The Proclaimers, Sean Connery Sweden | Astrid Lindgren USA | Dolly Parton

    Edit: Spent my Saturday morning vibing, adding the "consensual" suggestions to the table.

    I try to contribute to things getting better, sometimes through polite rational skepticism. Disagreeing with your comment ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality. Let's discuss to refine the arguments that make things better sustainably. Always happy to question our beliefs.
