I know. Mine is the hardcover with the two ink colors, bound in leather with two snakes biting each other's tails embossed on the cover.

But that is another story, and shall be told another time.

Oh, I see someone knows their classics.

Sorry, no, hard disagree.

It does blatantly show that a large chunk of their stated reasons for opposing HRT ("there are no studies, we don't know if it's safe", etc) are -- generously -- bad-faith, indefensible trash.

There's no finding common ground with bad-faith arguments because there's definitionally no debate there, just bigotry that you can cave to, or not. Let's not.

From a quick bit of research (https://news.opensuse.org/2024/10/08/grub2-bls/), it seems like Grub BLS (Boot Loader Specification) is a revision of Grub EFI that supports automatically creating boot menu entries for kernels that have such a BLS entry in the EFI partition. Those BLS entries are neat because they should work independently from your bootloader -- you could switch to systemd-boot and not have to reconfigure anything. I don't know about Tumbleweed, but in other distros, those entries are created automatically when you install or update a kernel.

I see no reason not to use it.

Fair point. XD

There are a fair few countries with amazing food, yeah. Italy, to start with, without even leaving Europe, and yeah, I'm a huge fan of India and much of China in that respect too, particularly Sichuan cuisine.

This thread was however about France specifically, and your comment reads like a fairly gauche non-sequitur.

Sorry to disappoint. :) France really has had fashy inclinations for a long time, if we're being honest. A lot more people were plenty happy to have the Germans over in the 40s than pop media created afterward tended to willingly show. For some reason.

The food genuinely is great though.

There's no such thing as a utopia but there are definitely some countries that have their shit more closely together than others. So don't lose hope!

A ticket tracker and a wiki!

Else all the institutional knowledge about your software that your users are adding too vanishes forever into a black box. And that'd be a dang pity

Alas, the same forces are at play in France too, they're just meeting a less favorable pre-existing terrain. But the billionaire-owned media have been carpet bombing the country with the message that holding the executive accountable is dictatorship, and Sarkozy is innocent and basically a saint, and this is all a conspiracy by the far-left judiciary, etc

And most people don't know better because knowing better takes exhausting amounts of paying attention, and little by little, the messaging is working.

Hey, it's okay, friend, not every game has to be for everyone and that's fine.

What worked for me, I guess, was to not approach it in terms of a game where I'm trying to make progress, so much as a vast place with a lot of mysteries that all actually make sense once you work it out; and that happens naturally if you let your curiosity drive you. You will, in fact, be making progress; you just won't realize it until the pieces fall into plane and, all at once, you know.

OUTER WILDS! If you've played it, you know why. (If you haven't, do not ask. Play it.)
