    I have a stupid question but what are the costs of a journal like this? I mean, if they don't pay the researchers and the reviewers, what do they do?

  • Tim Walz’s net worth is less than the average American’s

    Perhaps it's because our society values certain professions much more than others, particularly those in the social/educational sector, which are particularly undervalued. IMO, we need to put everything on the table and reconsider what we want to be considered as useful work for society.

  • Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line
  • kalistia kalistia Now 81%

    I agree with you that it would be foolish to believe that any company would support a cheap device perpetually but I think it should be common practice (or mandatory) to open the software so that people can extend the life of these devices. Generally speaking, as a species we cannot afford to waste electronic devices simply because the software is not up to date.

  • Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line
  • kalistia kalistia Now 66%

    Well, the article says: "Google says it will continue to push software and security updates to its newer devices without specifying which ones.".

    So only newer devices (and we don't know which ones), and if you are a bit familiar with technology, you would very well know that they will just quit updating the software anyways after some time as they stopped making the whole Chromecast line.

    That's still a lot of devices that would be perfectly usable and will eventually go to waste. So imo my remark about the fact that we should have laws forcing manufacturers to make their software open source as soon as they're no longer updated is still valid!

    And? Do they plan to put all the software open source so that the millions of hardware they sold would not go to waste in some years? We should force them to by law.

  • Bringing it Back for Honor of the British Elections
  • kalistia kalistia Now 100%

    Nope, France is unfortunately not breaking the circle, because the left did not win the election, they just have more MPs than the others, but not at all a strict majority. Now, Uninspiring "center" and right (and why not some far right) are trying to form an alliance to form a government...

    It's been 7 years that Macron and his minions did all they could to divide french society in order to stay in power. They criminalized the mostly peaceful ecological and social protests, they (over)used all the least democratic powers (49.3 and others) they had to push through socially unjust reforms, they have cynically and with the sole aim of winning votes, lumped together the parties of the left and the far right, and have deliberately blurred the political field. They refused to stand in the way of the far right in the last parliamentary elections, allowing a few hundred of them to become MPs and giving them prestigious positions in the parliament, simply out of political expediency. They have constantly pushed far-right themes such as security and immigration into the public debate, again simply to try and divide people and win votes. For these european elections, they snubbed all other parties other than the extreme right and even gave them more credibility (and publicity) by sending the Prime Minister to debate with their representative (and with no one from any other party). Macron, who said a few years ago that he would do everything to ensure that people no longer had any reason to vote for the far right, has been playing with fire in an attempt to divide the country and keep power. He is guilty of the current situation, and the dissolution of the assembly is not a clever or courageous move, but rather a cynical act of impotence by a lonely man who now wants to play the "it's me or chaos" game. To think that if the far right wins these next elections and a PM from their ranks is appointed, this would be an opportunity to prove how incompetent they are and destroy them, is to becompletelyy delusional. It's forgetting that this would put France in a catastrophic situation for years to come, with social and ecological ruin, and above all that its main effect would be to open the Overton window even wider, making it even more likely that the far right would soon gain to the real power with no real counterweight, the Presidency.

    I get that, but a bit more than now would be ideal :) For instance, I have my emails, calendar and contacts with them, and I would really like them to add a notes/journal and todolist feature that I can sync like the others with DAVx.

    Posteo is nice, my main email is with them for years now :) I only wish they would add some features from time to time, but otherwise it's really stable!

    He cerlainly is! But in this case the fact that you're cis is not really relevant, it's more the fact that you're heterosexual, which is not the same :)
