Santé menstruelle : un tabou qui freine l’avenir des filles
Des millions de filles et de femmes dans le monde vivent leurs règles dans la précarité, le silence ou l’humiliation. Parce que les menstruations restent taboues, elles entraînent de fortes inégalités sociales et de genre et génèrent des risques pour la santé. Pour le Planning familial et Plan international, « faire du droit à la santé menstruelle une réalité pour tous·tes, c’est faire un pas décisif vers l’égalité. Il est temps de le franchir. »

@snacks @Suiseiseki I think at this point alpine makes a lot of sense to me honestly.. im fed up with gnu retardation and systemd annoyances. If only i could remove posix brainrot but ig that's not happening on a linux system.
@snacks @Suiseiseki i thought about void but I'd want to get rid of glibc at which point my void install would be slightly worse than the default alpine setup, which would also get rid of other gnu tools. The only thing im not sure about is what bootloader to use because of course I'd get rid of grub. Maybe I'll just use limine that works really good and im familiar with it from a hobby project.
@snacks Coreboot isn't a bootloader - it just inits the hardware - GNU Grub is there to finish the hardware init and allow the user to enjoy a GNU OS and also contains a bootloader.

Timecodes 0:00 Intro 0:57 Sponsor: TuxCare 01:54 The Desktop 04:33 Launchers, app grids and start menus 08:03 The System Tray 10:06 Menubars and ribbons 12:54 Windows and titlebars 14:47 Parting Thoughts 15:31 Sponsor: Tuxedo Computers 16:25 Support the channel
If you think about productivity, you can't help but think that having the default state of your computer being an image with a few icons on it is less than stellar. For opening files, it will never be tidy enough to give you access to all you need, you need a launcher or a folder structure, meaning the desktop is bad at this. For opening apps, having visual shortcuts on the desktop is a duplicate of whatever panel or launcher you have.
Next are launchers: start menus, app grids, app lists, whatever else. If you think about it, these things aren't really efficient: you have to either scroll through a list of categories, click one, then click the app you want, or you have to scroll an even longer list of programs sorted by name, which makes no sense since most app names have no relation to what they do.
Most of these menus or grids thus added favourites, so you can place your preferred apps in a special place, but in a small menu, you'll never have enough room. This inefficiency is also why most app grids and menus implement a text field that's active by default, so you can type the name of the app you're looking for. Which also is not that great, because it requires you to know the name of the app.
Next is the good old system tray: this little area is by far the thing I despise the most in any operating system. Not because it's useless, because it's not, but because it's completely inefficient. You start apps from another place, and some of them will stay in the tray, some won't. Sometimes the icon disappears when you close the app's window, sometimes it won't. Sometimes the icon is coloured, sometimes it's not. If you have too many things in there, it tends to fold so you have an extra click to view what's running. Click targets are small and imprecise. It mixes apps and system features. Some apps will react to a right click, some will open a window with a left click, some will open a context menu.
The old menus keep evolving, and they're not getting better. The traditional menubar isn't great. It's tiny, click targets aren't big enough, keyboard navigation is slow, and the sorting of these menus is random and app dependent, meaning you have to learn where each option is for each program you use. If you place that into a global menu, you save some space in the app's window, and you're making clicking on menus easier, since they're always in the same place, but it doesn't solve the menu sorting problem, and the small click targets. If you place everything in a hamburger menu, you're simplifying the default interface, but making it harder to find advanced features.
Finally, Windows and titlebars. We use app based metaphors, and so we need to have a visual representation of each one. Whether it floats, or it's tiled, we all have windows that we move, resize, maximize, minimize, or close.
Again, this isn't efficient. Resizing windows to fit a task isn't great, titlebars are small and finicky to grab and drag, window buttons are small and are moving targets depending on where you placed the window. If you tile things, then you'll need to adjust the layout multiple times to have tiles that have enough space for what you want to do.

00:00 Intro 00:33 Sponsor: Monitor and Secure your internet connection 01:38 Regular Packages: DEBs & RPMs 04:53 Flatpaks 08:56 Snaps 11:29 AppImages 14:11 The Arch User Repository 16:35 These formats aren't important 17:40 Sponsor: Get a device that runs Linux perfectly 18:28 Support the channel
DEBs & RPMs are contained in repositories that your distribution set up or that you add yourself. In terms of advantages, these packages are all separate, which means that each package contains either an application or a library: you only install what is needed, nothing more. This also means they tend to use less space as time goes on.
Second, they're maintained and tested by your distributions, which means they should all work well without any issues.
Third, they're all based on a dependency system: applications declare which other packages they need to run.
You install a package as a superuser, which means you grant the package all the rights to do whatever it wants to your system as it's being installed. They also can create dependency hell. These packages need to be made for every architecture, and for 32 bit and 64 bit, for all the currently supported versions of a distribution, and for all distributions.
And that was the main reason why Flatpaks were invented. It packages the application and everything it needs to run in a single bundle. If the application depends on a LOT of libraries that are commonly used by other applications, it can install what's called a runtime instead.
Flatpaks are only meant for graphical applications: they aren't a way to distribute libraries, or command line apps. Flatpaks are generally hosted on Flathub, but there are others repos.
Flatpaks are more secure than regular packages. They're installed as a regular user, and can't install crap that will run at the system level. They can also use a sandbox, with permissions.
Another advantage is for app developers: flatpaks run on any distribution that has flatpak installed, which is basically all of them apart from Ubuntu and its various flavors.
It also means you're not dependent on your distribution for updates: you can get the new versions of your app as soon as the developer has published them. Last advantage is no dependency hell.
Flatpaks tend to use more space, and they can''t fully replace packages: they are only for graphical programs. Finally, flatpak apps might not follow your custom themes.
You can install Snap packages on Ubuntu and all of its derivatives, or any distro that can install the snapd package. They're auto updated and containerized. Snaps also let you test future releases in advance, with "channels". While the packaging format is open source, the server component isn't.
Snaps are very slow to open at first start. They tend to clutter your mount points. Snaps also generally don't support your custom themes. Snaps do have the advantage of supporting command line utilities.
AppImages are an all in one bundle that packages the application and all its libraries in a single file. They're very portable. They also won't create dependency hell, since they're completely independent. Appimages can be sandboxed but not a lot of them are. Appimages don't integrate with your system at all. They also use more space than any other packaging format.
Next is the AUR, it means Arch User Repository. it's available on Arch Linux and other Arch based distros like Manjaro.
The AUR is a big repository of applications and libraries packaged by individuals: they're generally not official, and not supported by the distro or the original developer.
Its main advantage is that is has virtually everything. The AUR doesn't host packages, but packagebuilds, which are scripts that will make the package.
This means that installing something might take a bit longer, and it also means that unless you read the package build scripts yourself, you completely trust an individual with the security of your system.
"Safe & Sound" featuring The Civil Wars is a hauntingly beautiful track from "The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 And Beyond." This poignant song captures the essence of hope and resilience amidst despair, reflecting the struggles faced by the characters in the dystopian world of Panem. With its ethereal harmonies and emotive lyrics, it stands as a powerful anthem for survival and unity.
Lyrics: I remember tears streaming down your face When I said, "I'll never let you go" When all those shadows almost killed your light I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone" But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes The sun is going down You'll be alright No one can hurt you now Come morning light You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window Darlin', everything's on fire The war outside our door keeps ragin' on Hold on to this lullaby Even when the music's gone, gone
Just close your eyes The sun is going down You'll be alright No one can hurt you now Come morning light You and I'll be safe and sound

This important book entitled Global WAR-NING! Geoengineering Is Wrecking Our Planet and Humanity by Prof. Claudia von Werlhof (Editor) encompasses contributions by prominent scholars and activists.
Over on BlueSky, authors are sharing their #unbound horror stories. It’s awful. So much worse than I imagined. It’s Alan Dean Foster vs Disney all over again.
Unbound went into liquidation and immediately a new company, Boundless, popped up. They now own all of Unbound’s assets … and none of its debts.
There are so many authors owed tens of thousands of pounds each. Many of them have no other source of income and this represents a year’s worth of royalties.
And #Boundless are stringing these authors along. Saying things like: We feel terrible so we’ll make goodwill payments of as much of your outstanding royalties as we possibly can.
That leaves authors having to choose between: A. Playing nice and letting #Boundless keep selling their books, hoping they’ll someday get some of the money they’re owed (while allowing that figure to increase daily); or B. Claiming rights reversion on the basis of nonpayment, thereby cutting their losses to an entire year’s worth of income and having to start fresh on their own.
I supported several books through Unbound, bought others, and borrowed some from my library. Seeing how they’ve shafted so many people out of so much money, I’m really feeling like I participated in this scam. It’s awful. I’ve lined the coffers of management at the expense of the authors.
It really doesn't cost much to use the online form to sue.
It's worked for me with a business in the process of going bust - they paid me, to stave off court proceedings, and went bust a few months later. If I'd done nothing I wouldn't have got the money.
easy to make mistakes. No ethical consumption under capitalism - really not your fault. You tried to do a good thing, sometimes it doesn't work out. Try not to beat yourself up about it!
we were all scammed. We believed there was a new publisher in town that would publish the books of people we wanted to hear from and that would be better than the rest of the industry. What we got instead was another grift that took advantage of the people who produce value for them.
@juneussell You weren’t to know. I pledged to two books, one has materialised, the other was by a friend and she’s been hugely let down. The guilt around this however should not be yours
