Le French resisted a bit of colonialism (from wiki/Scientology_status_by_country#France):

Since 1995, Scientology has been classified as a secte (cult) by boards of inquiry commissioned by the National Assembly of France. It was first designated a sect in a 1995 report, and then in a 1999 report it was classified as an “absolute” sect and recommended its dissolution.

In 2000, after ‘appeals for religious tolerance’ from USA President Clinton and his congress, president of France Jacques Chirac told Clinton to stay out of France’s business, noting “shocking White House support for Scientologists”. Alain Vivien, chairman of the Ministerial Mission to Combat the Influence of Cults, claimed that sects—primarily headed and funded by Scientology—had been infiltrating the United Nations and other European human rights organizations. In 2001, France passed the About–Picard law, intended to strengthen their ability to prevent and repress sects that undermine human rights and fundamental freedoms, and those which engage in mental manipulation. The law would allow courts “to order the immediate dissolution of any movement regarded as a cult whose members are found guilty of such existing offences as fraud, abuse of confidence, the illegal practice of medicine, wrongful advertising and sexual abuse.”

A 2009 case resulted in a fraud conviction against two Church of Scientology organizations and five individuals, and recommended dissolution, and a 2012 appeal upheld the convictions including 600,000EUR in fines. Though the prosecution had requested the dissolution of the Scientology Celebrity Centre and its bookstore, a dissolution penalty wasn’t possible due to a brief retraction of the dissolution law prior to the 2009 verdict and the prohibition against enforcing it retroactively.

I love the thicc boio!
(Ngl, would have loved a thinn boyo like this one too)

Just like non-adhd brains do.
I think the issue brought forward here is the lack of ahdh friendly work environments compared to the advantages that can be just as brutally exploited.
But your average manager is an extroverted neuronormie achiever & to such adhd work processes are really not intuitive. Not to mention how much less work they have if there is less individuality among the workers & everyone behaves the same-ish.

It’s like morning people vs evening/night people. The morning chickens just have to “trust” that the lazy owls really do have energy later in the day & not judge (perceived) others evening productivity by their own.

Well, if you are genociding and someone wants to help the same people you are putting so much effort into exterminating … it’s probably a real morale blow.

Why doesn’t anyone consider the poor IDFs feelings?? Haven’t they suffered enough free prime land for development gain!

No one for rougelikes?

I dont even like them that much is just the only things I can play sometimes.

Haha, look how proudly she is gesturing towards the ads :D

I’ve diverged from Debian for desktop use for a few years now (no particular good reason, just for fun) but I have extended family with about the same affinity to updates as your dad.

I think automatic updates for regular end users are nice nowdays, especially if you don’t customise stuff too much (DEs, wm, things like that). And even if some issues ever occur in return you get a continuously up-to-date and safer system (imho worth it). And its not like not-updating os solves the issues, it just postpones them, potentially snowballs them (and in that case I just reinstall it).
I switched my dad to Tumbleweed like 3 years ago & set weekly automatic updates, literally no issues with it.

As for serves, Im all for automatic updates in home environment, since my kinda worst case scenario is rolling back to a previous snapshot.
Maybe I could set backup services on a separate node with delayed updates … but I need more motivation (a clusterfuck) for that.

Own your kinks.
And in turn teach not to kink shame.

Be a voice of change for the kind in this hateful world.

Great, it worked!
But now I have ads on my desktop, tiler, and all the menues feature ‘sponsored’ content instead of my shit.

If Linux is so great, then explain why I can’t even install this latest security patch for Windows on my Tumbleweed??

Not even their brand new “handheld” Assussy??

(It will fully support Hannah Montana Linux)

Yes.

But in the last 10+ years the

just set it up for them

is what popular distros just do out of the box, and they do it well.

Not new to Linux but recently I bought a new PC for dad and installed Tumbleweed … and besides installing it (there is a fully automated default settings option even for that) I only configured the wallpaper image (bcs he likes it even it changed every hour or whatever). Not to mention how up-to-date it is and how seamlessly the updates are managed. Oh, and I had to manually install Signal & some Firefoxy extensions, but thats like just user stuff on basically any os.

… as someone who completely involuntary switches everyones computers I manage for some reason (ie extended family mostly) to Linux … normies don’t care that much.

No asking, no thinking, just Linux.

And when they are ready to share the love - they do clearly, without mixed signals! <3

She goes to another school
(for intelligent ificial art)

I would hate to not have my porn ads personalised.

Normies.

Our IT department is constantly getting tickets to unblock random shitty stuff like that.

I cannot explain it, not even a little, I just know it’s a thing.

Perhaps the general ad infestation of everything blurred the lines.

In a way, in the immediate sense of the moment, being sold bullshit by AI/algorithms or irl by a sales person isn’t that much different. And people don’t care about tomorrow or anything they can’t immediately see.

(Im guessing, all of it)

I know … But people actually literally want this.

Maybe FF is what we install for normies while we use forks for other flavours.

They didn’t vanish, it’s just that now only Google has them.
