I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

  • C’est présent dans la branche populiste de la droite traditionnel depuis Sarkozy au moins, aujourd’hui des gens comme Ciotti font pareil. J’ai du mal à voir la différence avec le RN normalisé par Marine Le Pen d’ailleurs.
    Je pense que la raison première ce n’est pas vivre pour les caméras mais se distinguer des autres camps. Et comme sur le fond, comme l’explique l’article, il n’y a pas grandes différences, ils le font sur des querelles personnalisées.
    S’ils ne se distinguer pas suffisamment, les électeurs n’ont que peu de motivations de voter pour eux plutôt que pour d’autres.

    Je ne vois pas trop de solution en fait. Plus de partis et on élit uniquement les gens sur leurs qualités personnelles ?











  • This makes me think, there is some kind of “system creationism” philosophy in the far left that is not unlike the Christian one. Thinking that some all powerfull entity (or group) created/designed the situation by itself rather than thinking it is the result of extremely complex historical chain of events and balance between groups and environments. By extension it leads to thinking that somehow removing the powerful entity magically solves the problem.


  • I couldn’t find any reliable source, but the most convincing idea I read was to reduce contrast and glare issues between the white chalk and its background. The green would reflect more light than the black, reducing the contrast and the glare. Also, the original blackboards were made of black slate, but then they became synthetic which made it easier to change the color.








  • I feel there’s some marketing conspiracy with the “office” term. It looks like they have been planning to make it disappear because it is uncool for some new marketing genius or it reduces the target markets, I guess. So they first attached a new term, 365, as a transition, and now they dropped the office while keeping the 365 so recent users can still make the link.
    The AI bubble was maybe just a convenient excuse to advance the plan.
    Plus, since post-covid, return to office is very unpopular, how convenient!
    The plot thickens.
