Some people use quotes for emphasis, though. So, not sure if this faculty's on our side.

What's the stuff in the background on the right?

I disagree. That Crowdstrike crashes is one thing; the issue here is that Windows suffers such a widespread crash, whether it is because of Crowdstrike or for any reason.

That's an overall accurate analysis, but more leftists have dropped out than centrists. A number of centrists refused to drop out, leading to far right seats rather than leftists.

Qu'il se soit senti trahi par Hollande je peux comprendre. Mais j'espère qu'il s'est rendu compte que voter social-démocrate c'est pas voter contre le capitalisme. Ce qui est bizarre c'est que cette élection semble être la plus prometteuse pour une gauche moins capitaliste et c'est maintenant qu'il baisse les bras.

You know in the game Secret Hitler when the board has sufficiently advanced into fascism that it becomes strategic for the liberals to vote fascism and unlock a bullet? Honestly makes me think of that.

Not saying this is what needs to happen. I honestly don't know how americans can do to get out of their quagmire.

That's apparently about to change, let's see

A bit too shy from Carrasco! Let's hope they continue like that

Assisted GNSS is pretty handy. My phones gets my approximate location very fast. If I want to plan a route from where I am, I don't have to wait a couple minutes for the GNSS signal to be received (if I'm in a location where I can receive it).

But obviously, waiting a couple minutes before starting a journey is acceptable to avoid being tracked by Google, so I disabled the Enhanced Location mode on my Android phone.

Is there a private alternative for A-GNSS?

Since I've joined Lemmy, I've been trying to learn more about leftist political systems and how current activists would like to implement them. I'm also interested in building a nuanced opinion on historical implementations of Marxism.

In my understanding, public scrutiny can be multiple. About methods: free press, direct reports from the state, NGO or foreign observers; and about subjects: military, internal or external affairs, industrial.

What effect does state transparency have on society (good or bad), and would you prefer to live in an open political system personally? Which kind of transparency?

During the cold war, how open and transparent were the USA and USSR? How open are the US, China, Russia and the EU currently?

Do you know resources that approach these subjects that I could read?
