Good question. Let me check that.

Well following their documentation, it's a distinct IP in a specific IP range.

Good!

I don't know for you but, by default, all our ISP box here broadcast an "open" SSID that allows any customers of this ISP to login with their ISP credentials on the ISP box around them (except if the customers switch off this function). That allow a customer with a dead box or in travel to still have internet. (traffic is of course segregated).

So if you know the ISP brand via the IP range and find a isolated home with this provider ssid visible, you found the address of the IP. Again that work only with low number of houses or not often use ISP.

Connect for me is not connected like a logon but more in term of network connection (pinged).

Depends of where you lives. if you have only 1 house per km² around you and your isp box provide predictable SSID name, you could be easily found as the ip range is per provider.

Google street cars capture also the wifi network around them when taking street photos.

And getting your ip can connect the people directly to your box. A trace route command to this IP could return intermediate equipment of your isp, helping to pinpoint your town or even your street.

Yeah, and it's language lock too. I was wondering what is was until i said it in english...

Why not use the universal way to write it (%) is beyond me?

If you try to run the game from the windows vm yes the perf are bad.

But try to play these game from linux using wine/lutris ou protom/steam and you could be surprised

My games were running better (really better) on archlinux than windows 11. And i have also a nvidia card (RTX 3090 FE)

I'm sure of that and i'm sad to see good people aware but unable to change the direction their nation takes. Must be horrible, infuriating.

I'm worried too about the next presidential election in my country. Hope we will be able to reject fascism again in the next election cycle. Something we have to do nearly all the time since I'm able to vote.

We know that.

But that didn't stop ALL the german being called nazi after WWII and all being appalled by their (in)action and the pain their nation did to others.

I had a German colleague apologizing to me for his ancestors actions (who killed some family members at my grandparents generation). None of us were born when that happened but he wanted to say it as he was ashamed by his grandparents (in)actions. I was sad for him because he didn't do anything wrong but he was taking the weight of his nation history personally.

Do you want to do that or - more probably - do you want your children to do that later? They will ask for forgiveness to the descendants of the people impacted today saying: "I'm sorry that my parents didn't do anything to stop that"

Because your ICE gestapo-like state organization is doing appalling actions TODAY in plain sight. And you - as Americans - will be remembered as people who lets this happen.

Yep. That already happened. So we know.

Last time USA attached Iraq, the instability generated in the region boosted ISIS and created terrorist attacks waves in Europe, killing hundreds (on top of all the dead people directly impacted in the country attacked of course).

So cool, here we go again thanks to the US people who are not fucking able to use their brain when voting.

Wrong "logic" here. A tumor is something that threatened life by just being here.

Are you an active threat to this person? If not, move out.

In cliché world yeah.... But in reality, not so much. 😀

It been years... no... decades that smoking have nearly disappeared around me - including in the office.

I work with hundreds of people and the amount of people smoking can fit one hand. 25 years ago, i needed more than 2 hands to count them. And in my family, nobody starting at my parents generation and younger smokes.

Same story with wine during lunch. 25 years ago, it was several bottles each day at lunches.

Today, no more wine bottle and the trend started since easily 15 years now. Only for big occasion and the quantity have decreased a lot.

People drink more beers now. But far less than wine.

I see your point now. If you focus on the "republic" creation, yes. USA is older than France republic by few years.

But, please, don't tell me the original writer had that in mind. He/she is talking about nation. And, for example, a monarchy (our previous gouvernement state beforethe first republic) is a valid nation definition.

Well it's true English is not my native language so we could miss some intricate details of your message. But please, don't enter into the education system discussion. For your sake :)
