[…] 43% in favour of rejoining the bloc, compared with 40% who want to stay out. But once the 18% who say they don’t know are taken out, 52% back EU membership with 48% opposing it […]

That’s not a “majority of voters”, that’s a “majority of people who report to know what they want”. These are not the same populations.

He would still have been attached to her and in the film’s logic, that was the problem. You can bet that there would have been a point where he would have been afraid for her leading to yadda yadda.

No idea. Maybe donations, fees from conventions, ad revenue…?

Damn I’m surprised you say that. I’m a native french speaker I’ve always thought that portuguese is a godsend. So fewer bullshit, so much more rational…

What’s the marketing meaning? I only know about the psychological effect of feeling anxious when disconnected or not taking part to an event.

Here’s the socially acceptable solution, even in public: you pick it with a handkerchief on your finger.

Thanks! I added “some nebulae” to remove any misunderstanding

I didn’t know the story, thanks a lot!

When we look at the sky, there is a line where there is way more stars than usual. This line goes all the way around the sky. This was called the milky way by the Greeks because it was like a road sparkled with milk drops. At some point, we deduced that we were in a group of stars arranged in a flat disk. Later, we realized that some weird space clouds (nebulae) were much further away than we thought and were actually other huge groups of stars like our own that we named galaxies, still after milk.

There are more details me course. Even along the line in the sky drawn by the milky way, there is one side where there is much more stars and dust than the other. We deduced that we were at the edge of the disk and the bright region was the center of our galaxy. Also, the amount of gas and dust that block certain types of light that teach us that our galaxy has arms.

The Walloon language! The historical and almost extinct language of the region I’ve been living in for some time but from which I don’t really have ancestry (more from the other region of the country).

The language has a really bad reputation (it’s supposedly rude, so different from city to city that it’s useless to communicate, etc.) Almost nobody is left speaking it and the overwhelming majority thinks its good thing.

It’s fascinating, there’s a small group of people trying to standardize it. There’s some drama because the other promoters of the language are academics who want to preserve the local varieties, the opposite to standardization.

That’s exactly how it works right now with VDI. I’m using one at work.

I’ve not used it yet, but I plan to try photoprism at some point.

E: ah, just saw your edit about self host, sorry.

Of course. And I’ll continue to do so as long as advertisement is detrimental to my online experience. If it wastes my time by forcing me to watch an ad before a video, if it distracts me from reading a text because of animations, if it tries to scam or shock me, I’m better off blocking it. I’m not against advertisement as communication that a useful product or service exists, I’m against advertisement abuse and greed.

I’ll happily pay for, donate to, or otherwise support services important to me that need and deserve it.
