I mean, if it's like the 2020 protests, or the Jan 6th protests, a considerable number of those masked people are likely feds (or idiots who think they're freedom fighters, but are paid for by feds) and Waymo might be intentionally running them in so those people have something to set on fire.
...or they just run set return routes and no one reprogrammed them prior to the riots.
I mean, they didn't have to put these here, or leave them here, but these police vehicles were left there, to create just this sort of photo. Its all fake and gay.
also the fact that they aren't using that bridge to corral and arrest every single person throwing rocks looks like a total setup. the city and mayor bass are ordering a stand down to let the tension build and foce the feds to do something
@meowski @djsumdog @hazlin No they need to just leave protests alone and not escalate them this far. LA has protests every day, they don't turn into riots unless a sports game loses or the cops agitate shit
@djsumdog @hazlin leaving it alone isn't really an option in this case, the protestors started escalating cause they're mad about deportations, and the deportations need to continue and increase even, so protestors need to be put in their place, and looters and rock throwers should be arrested or shot on sight preferably
@realcaseyrollins @djsumdog @hazlin no, definitely not. i'm just saying they were under orders "not to escalate" or "not to engage" by the mayor, for reasons.
this would be why they didn't just call for backup, say hey we're getting pelted by rocks, then some other units would go up there and beat the crap out of rock throwers and arrest them.

Video Chess is a chess game for the Atari VCS (renamed Atari 2600 in 1982) programmed by Larry Wagner and Bob Whitehead and released by Atari in 1979. Both programmers later developed games for Activision.
This isn't the strength of gpt-o4 the model has been optimised for tool use as an agent. That's why its so good at image gen relative to their models it uses tools to construct an image piece by piece similar to a human. Also probably poor system prompting. A LLM is not a universal thinking machine its a a universal process machine. An LLM understands the process and uses tools to accomplish the process hence its strengths in writing code (especially as an agent).
Its similar to how a monkey is infinitely better at remembering a sequence of numbers than a human ever could but is totally incapable of even comprehending writing down numbers.
Sometimes it seems like most of these AI articles are written by AIs with bad prompts.
Human journalists would hopefully do a little research. A quick search would reveal that researches have been publishing about this for over a year so there's no need to sensationalize it. Perhaps the human journalist could have spent a little time talking about why LLMs are bad at chess and how researchers are approaching the problem.
LLMs on the other hand, are very good at producing clickbait articles with low information content.

About 6 years ago. I went on one of those team building company retreat things. It was outdoors, on a hot summer day. One of my coworkers arrived in long gloves and a jacket.
At the time, there were reports of some bug bite that somehow made people allergic to meat. This person did not want to risk getting bit.
People who are hysterically afraid of germs exist.
I woke up a few weeks ago with a dead smothered tick in my side torso, fucker puked and croaked in my body, blew up like an angry bitch, took some ledum and applied some clay. Was fine a day later and still eating meat like it was free. Fuck fear.
If i had a choice between severe Lyme and severe AGS, Iโm grateful at least to have the second, since I can take active measures to avoid getting symptoms. (Although airborne triggers drastically limit what I can do/where I can go).
โ any strong odor, smoke, steam, fumes, etc., of any mammal food, while being cooked or still warm and producing smell. The smell of skunk is also a problem. Symptoms start within seconds of exposure, which include some combination of itching lips, hoarse and tight throat, dizziness, brain fog, joint pain in fingers and toes, gut pain and need to have diarrhea. (They vary from person to person, like some get hives, headaches, itchy skinโฆ)
If I get away pretty quickly, the symptoms subside within an hour or so. Every once in awhile Iโll try to tolerate it for several minutes (like recently, to be at a wedding ceremony), but it gets increasingly uncomfortable. And one time last fall my blood pressure dropped hard, I froze up and couldnโt move (maybe from hypoxia?), and nearly passed out. I probably should have used my epi-pen that time, but wasnโt thinking clearly.
Itโs drastically limited where I can go: no restaurants, convenience stores, friendโs houses, outdoor areas with BBQ smoke or other strong food smells in the air, and even some grocery stores with deli grills or meat smokers. I also havenโt tried flying, since it would be pretty impossible to avoid food smells in the airport and airplane. And I wonder what they would do with me if I ever had to be admitted into a hospital for an emergency. Pretty wild.
Supposedly only 5-10% of people with AGS are airborne reactive. I know several other people with AGS who get at least mild symptoms from airborne exposures.
Iโve read about such a wide variety of foods people can have airborne reactions too, including corn, seafood, soy, and of course peanuts and other tree nuts. Citrus is one Iโd not heard of yet!
If you donโt mind sharing, Iโm curious to know, do you start getting anaphylactic symptoms or is it more like a hay fever reaction?
@Peaceandprosperity @MountainJay Citrus. I can't be around when others are using spray cleaners with Citrus. Sometime, close proximity to someone peeling an orange or slicing a lime. No Lemon Pledge for me.
โ I also eat a low histamine diet to help keep my histamine load low and reduce reactions.
Itโs interesting to me that your triggers both involve high histamine. Fresh shrimp/seafood has generally accumulated high levels by the time itโs sold or eaten (I only eat frozen), and citrus causes histamine release.
Now Iโll be wondering if maybe my histamine could be increased through airborne exposure. ๐ค
@MountainJay @Peaceandprosperity Shrimp causes cascade anaphylactic reaction. Citrus is sore throat, tonge swelling, joint pain, irritability and cognitive issues. There are others: egg, wheat, corn, hazel nut, almond, nightshades, black pepper. Second hand smoke (tobacco is a nightshade) prompts sore throat and an asthma attack. Lots of fun.
@SirJoe โ ugh, thatโs a LOT of things to avoid. ๐ And I thought dodging just mammal smells was bad.
SAAT acupuncture treatment seems to be working well for lots of people with AGS. (Though not for me, unfortunately.). Itโs actually pretty much the only allopathic or alternative treatment that seems to help so far.

Human beings are not designed to be in a panic 24/7. We've already got fascists and authoritarians and right wing Christian assholes trying to force us into panic 24/7 so we become exhausted, tired, and no longer want to do the work.

Human beings need breaks to rest, be creative, and yes, be entertained, and if you criticize people for taking a break from the outward horror for as little as two hours, comrade, you need to go touch grass.

It seems like the vast majority of people who answered aren't beginners with Linux: 39% said they knew their way around Linux, and 10% said Linux had no secrets for them. The "middle of the road" answer, being "I understand how things wok, but I'm no expert" gathered 40% of answers, and only 10% of answers in total described themselves as what I'd call beginners, with 9% saying they had a lot to learn, and 1% saying it was a brand new world.
So, what is difficult to accomplish on Linux? What seems to be the most annoying thing to deal with is integrating Linux systems with other devices, 36% of people picked this as a pain point.
The second big pain point is "using existing hardware", 28% of people picked this as a problem, and finding compatible hardware was a problem for 24% of people.
Interestingly, installing Linux was not picked as a pain point, only 4% of people said it was a problem.
Most people who answered have experiences hardware issues on Linux. 44% said they had a problem they could fix, and 36% said they had an issue they couldn't solve.
In terms of the main problematic components, there were a few surprises here. First are GPUs: 34% of people said they had trouble with their GPU.
Also a surprise: gaming controllers and peripherals: 9% of people who answered said they had troubles here. Wifi and Bluetooth at 17% each are sort of surprising to me as well, I thought this was a thing of the past, but apparently not.
Now, as per software related problems, here again, Linux has issues. 48% of people who answered said they faced a software problem they could fix, and 35% said they faced one they couldn't solve. Only 14% said they didn't face any software related problems.
As per the problematic categories, the biggest offender is sleep / wake and suspend, 30% of answers pointed that as a problem. App compatibility is also a big issue, 29% of people said Linux wasn't a supported platform for the software they needed to use. Gaming is a sore spot, with 27% of people answering they're facing problems there.
So, 37% of people who answered said they could do most of what they wanted, but not everything. 33% said they could do everything, but some things were harder than on other platforms. 26% said they could do everything they wanted on Linux, and only 4% in total said many or most things they needed to do weren't possible on Linux.
As per the general experience of using Linux, most people seem to feel their system is very reliable: 56% said they have a few issues that don't impact their trust in their OS, 38% said they didn't worry about stability at all, and only 6% in total said they had frequent issues that make them lose trust in Linux as their OS.
71% of people who answered also said their experience with Linux was very good, better than other operating systems, and 6% said it was perfect without issues. 16% said it was good, and on par with other operating systems, and 6% in total said their experience was bad or very bad, as in worse than other OSes to downright unusable.
Most people also felt they absolutely needed the command line to fix problems on their systems. 50% said they had to use it a bit, and 28% said it was mandatory to get a usable system. Only 23% said they didn't need to use the command line at all.

Someone accused this of "Fearmongering".
I come to the Fediverse to enjoy social media, since I spend 8โ12 hours working for Meta (Facebook). The Fedi is a good distraction of the nonsense that I see and encounter at work.
For example, the word "protest" is now being monitoring there. We're actively helping a fascist regime track people. That same fascist regime who is threatening Canada, Greenland, and other such nonsense.
I am not Fearmongering. I am sharing events that are unfolding, along with some valued foresight. Things are changing in our world, and not for the better.

Moi qui suis un sale bo-bo รฉlitiste je n'ai jamais foutu les pieds dans ce magasin de merde (pourtant il y en a un a 1 km de chez moi).
Alors que lโimpรฉratif de sobriรฉtรฉ sโimpose dans le dรฉbat public, le succรจs fulgurant de lโenseigne maxidiscompte Action rรฉvรจle lโattrait persistant dโun consumรฉrisme accessible et ludique. Portรฉe par une norme dรฉcorative aujourdโhui partagรฉe et une quรชte de conformitรฉ sociale, cette consommation interroge les limites des discours รฉcologiques.
Face ร la crise climatique, les professionnels du marchรฉ rivalisent dโingรฉniositรฉ pour รฉlaborer un discours, une offre, des dispositifs socio-techniques prรฉtendument adaptรฉs ร lโimpรฉratif climatique. Il sโagit toujours de consommer mais de maniรจre ยซ responsable ยป, une rhรฉtorique marchande qui gratifie lโindividu dโun nouveau signe dโappartenance de classe. publicitรฉ
Ce discours est soutenu depuis plusieurs dรฉcennies par la mise en place ou le retour dโun appareil commercial adaptรฉ, composรฉ dโenseignes spรฉcialisรฉes, de marchรฉs paysans, de ventes ร la ferme, de casiers fermiers. Il sโaccompagne enfin de dispositifs qui, aprรจs le chariot et le sac plastique de lโaccumulation quasi-illimitรฉe, engendrent le ยซ plein responsable ยป, allant du bocal en verre pour le vrac au tote-bag en coton bio dont chacun dโentre-nous accumule aujourdโhui les exemplaires en songeant ร leur hypothรฉtique rรฉemploi.
ร contre-courant de cette nouvelle doxa, des enseignes ont depuis une dizaine dโannรฉes fait une apparition fracassante dans le paysage commercial en se dรฉdouanant de tout engagement en matiรจre de la transition รฉcologique. Le dรฉveloppement et le succรจs spectaculaires dโenseignes non-alimentaires maxidiscomptes, en premier lieu desquelles Action, stimulent lโaccumulation matรฉrielle et rรฉvรจlent lโรฉcart entre le prรฉoccupations environnementales et les pratiques effectives. Pour le dire autrement, la sobriรฉtรฉ consommatoire, imposรฉe par la crise climatique, nโa pas trouvรฉ de meilleur ennemi que ces nรฉo-bazars.
Quelques chiffres suffisent ร illustrer leur conquรชte du territoire et des clients hexagonaux. Fondรฉe aux Pays-Bas en 1993, Action ouvre une premiรจre succursale en France en 2012. Douze ans plus tard, elle y compte 859 points de vente et environ 20 000 salariรฉs. ร lโรฉchelle internationale, lโenseigne compte 2918 points de vente dans 12 pays et totalise 80 000 salariรฉs. Dans lโHexagone, son chiffre dโaffaires dรฉpasse les 3 milliards dโeuros au dรฉbut de lโannรฉe 2023. La marque devient, dรจs 2023, lโenseigne prรฉfรฉrรฉe des Franรงais en 2023 selon le baromรจtre EY-Parthenon, dรฉtrรดnant le gรฉant de lโe-commerce Amazon et les franรงais Dรฉcathlon et Leroy-Merlin.
En privilรฉgiant une analyse ร hauteur des rayons et des achats, nous souhaiterions examiner quelques principes du modรจle ยซ Action ยป et dรฉcrypter les usages sociaux qui sont faits de lโenseigne par des consommateurs toujours plus nombreux et socialement plus diversifiรฉs[1]. Au-delร de sa politique de prix bas, qui nโa rien de rรฉvolutionnaire[2], et du renouvellement hebdomadaire dโune offre importรฉe dโAsie et issue du dรฉstockage dโentreprises en faillite, dโautres propriรฉtรฉs retiennent lโattention parmi lesquels lโintense communication numรฉrique prise en charge par des clientes hyperconnectรฉes. En scrutant la diffusion de la ยซ norme dรฉcorative ยป, il sโagit รฉgalement dโidentifier quelques-unes des logiques sociales qui sous-tendent les pratiques dโachat telles que la quรชte de conformitรฉ sociale. Cette plongรฉe dans lโunivers Action nous conduit ร souligner le poids des contraintes sociales comme frein ร la transition consommatoire et dรฉmontre une nouvelle fois quโil faut considรฉrer le shopping, non pas comme une simple activitรฉ รฉconomique, mais comme une pratique socio-culturelle associรฉe au temps de loisirs, de dรฉtente et de divertissement. Le cabas et le travail gratuit des micro-influenceuses
Si Action nโa pas inventรฉ les bazars comme concept commercial, lโenseigne a su se faire une place dโune maniรจre singuliรจre et avec une rapiditรฉ รฉpoustouflante dans le paysage commercial. Lโenseigne a รฉtรฉ principalement connue par lโintermรฉdiaire de son cabas rรฉutilisable, repรฉrรฉ entre les mains dโun nombre considรฉrable dโindividus croisรฉs dans la rue, simples piรฉtons ou automobilistes stationnรฉs vidant le coffre de leur voiture. La large diffusion du sac, frappรฉ dโun logo volontairement simple, ร la typographie quelque peu rรฉtro-futuriste, a assurรฉ ร lโenseigne une mรฉdiatisation jusquโร des endroits dรฉpourvus de point de vente.
Un second รฉlรฉment qui distingue Action de ses concurrents repose sur lโinvestissement numรฉrique et amateur des clientes dans la mise en scรจne des produits et des bonnes affaires sur les rรฉseaux sociaux. Typiques du secteur du hard-discount orientรฉ vers la rรฉduction des coรปts superflus, les magasins sont spartiates mais, chez Action ou Noz, ceux-ci sont en quelque sorte ยซ augmentรฉs ยป par une communication numรฉrique prise en charge par des influenceuses bรฉnรฉvoles. Hyperconnectรฉes, prรฉsentes sur Instagram, Facebook, You Tube et TikTok, elles dรฉlivrent ร leur communautรฉ des conseils relatifs ร lโusage des produits, les mettent en scรจne dans leur intรฉrieur et participent ainsi ร la mรฉdiatisation de lโenseigne et ร sa valorisation. Une enquรชte menรฉe auprรจs de ces micro-influenceuses aboutit ร deux rรฉsultats. Dโune part, il sโagit dans un grand nombre de cas de jeunes mรจres de famille en couple qui, par cet investissement numรฉrique, trouvent un moyen de mettre entre parenthรจses leur assignation souvent prรฉcoce aux tรขches domestiques. Dโautre part, une grande part dโentre elles active et actualise une disposition crรฉative, acquise durant lโadolescence, par la production technique et artistique de contenus destinรฉs ร leur communautรฉ. Le travail gratuit et dรฉniรฉ au service de la marque est rรฉalisรฉ avec satisfaction, sur un mode ludique. Il redouble dโintensitรฉ chez celles qui dรฉmarchent la marque pour devenir, sans succรจs, une influenceuse officielle et rรฉmunรฉrรฉe. Norme dรฉcorative et conformitรฉ sociale
Mis en scรจne sur les mรฉdias sociaux par ses clientes les plus familiรจres, le foyer est la cible privilรฉgiรฉe dโAction. Lโenseigne fournit, ร petits prix, de quoi รฉquiper et dรฉcorer son intรฉrieur. En parcourant les contenus publiรฉs en ligne par les adeptes de la marque, lโobservateur repรจre un nombre limitรฉ dโobjets mis en avant : abat-jours, coussins, bougies, soucoupes, petits cadres photo, dรฉcoration pour Noรซl, tรชtes de lit, lampes de chevet, dessous de plat, vaisselle colorรฉe, produits dโhygiรจne corporelle, petites corbeilles pour salle de bains, petits tapis, rideaux occultants, รฉtagรจres, plateaux, couvertures pour canapรฉ, verres ร dent, planches ร dรฉcouper en bambou, globes terrestres miniatures, petits bancs ร positionner au bout dโun lit double, fleurs artificielles, parfums dโintรฉrieur, horloges industrielles, bibelots dรฉcoratifs. Ce rapide inventaire se compose quasi-exclusivement dโobjets de dรฉcoration.
Parmi ses 6000 rรฉfรฉrences โ dont 1500 ร moins dโun euro โ , Action regroupe aussi une offre large de produits de droguerie et dโhygiรจne mais ceux-ci sont trรจs peu valorisรฉs sur les comptes Instagram des influenceuses. Cโest la dรฉcoration qui fonde en grande partie lโattractivitรฉ de lโenseigne. En 2022, le cabinet Xerfi livrait une รฉtude approfondie du secteur : ยซ Arts de la table et de la cuisine, objets de dรฉcoration, linge et textile maison, luminaires : tous les segments profitent du dynamisme de lโimmobilier de logement et des projets dโamรฉnagement intรฉrieur des Franรงais ยป. Le marchรฉ a bondi de 14 % en 2021 et pรจse plus de 14 milliards dโeuros. Le recentrage sur le ยซ chez soi ยป, observรฉ pendant et ร lโissue des confinements du Covid, a indiscutablement constituรฉ une aubaine pour Action.
Cette croissance dรฉcorative sโinscrit dans une histoire vieille de prรจs de deux cents ans et celle-ci semble franchir aujourdโhui une รฉtape supplรฉmentaire. Par sa politique commerciale et son maillage du territoire, Action rend en effet possible lโadoption par lโensemble de la population de ce quโil convient dโappeler la norme dรฉcorative.
La passion pour les bibelots sโempare des bourgeoisies europรฉennes et amรฉricaines dรจs les annรฉes 1830 [3]. De petits objets dรฉcoratifs, produits en sรฉrie et acquis dans les magasins de nouveautรฉs et les grands magasins, peuplent les espaces privรฉs, dans des vitrines, sur les cheminรฉs, les tables des chambres ร coucher, les meubles. Potiches chinoises, boรฎtes sculptรฉes, pipes, coquillages exotiques, boules ร neige, รฉventails, gravures romantiques, poupรฉes et jouets anciens sโaccumulent dans les intรฉrieurs bourgeois et incarnent, selon Gilles Lipovetsky et Jean Serroy, une premiรจre รฉtape de lโessor du kitsch [4]. La collection de bibelots devient une norme au fur et ร mesure que la production industrielle en sรฉrie sโimpose et que les grands magasins stimulent, par des techniques de thรฉรขtralisation de lโoffre, lโattractivitรฉ de la marchandise. Lโachat de bibelots constitue une activitรฉ dรฉvolue aux femmes dont le devoir est dโembellir lโespace familial. La pratique intรจgre enfin les activitรฉs improductives tournรฉes vers lโostentation statutaire saisie par Veblen au sein de la classe de loisir.
Du cรดtรฉ du peuple, un dรฉtour par les รฉtudes pionniรจres de sociologie de la consommation nous apprend que, chez les employรฉs, lโorientation des dรฉpenses vers le confort et lโรฉquipement du foyer est รฉgalement ancienne. Celles-ci les distinguent des ouvriers. En relisant les observations statistiques de Maurice Halbwachs, Christian Baudelot et Roger Establet notent par exemple ยซ quโen accรฉdant ร des niveaux dโaisance comparables, les ouvriers et les employรฉs se distinguent plus que jamais par leur faรงon de vivre. Ici la richesse amรฉliore lโordinaire de la table et permet de soigner les apparences ; lร on sโoccupe dโamรฉliorer le confort du logement [5] ยป.
Plus rรฉcemment, une enquรชte menรฉe sur les fractions รฉconomiquement stables des classes populaires tรฉmoigne de la diffusion de cette norme dรฉcorative. En dรฉpit de ressources budgรฉtaires diffรฉrentes et de structures de dรฉpenses toujours distinctes, les membres des catรฉgories populaires revendiquent des attentes partagรฉes. Pour le cas de leurs fractions stabilisรฉes โ celles qui firent notamment irruption sur la scรจne mรฉdiatique ร lโautomne 2018 dans le cadre du mouvement des Gilets jaunes โ, Thomas Amossรฉ et Marie Cartier mettent en รฉvidence la volontรฉ de ยซ consommer comme tout le monde ยป, cโest-ร -dire de se conformer au goรปt des classes moyennes et supรฉrieures. La recherche de la conformitรฉ sociale par la consommation sโillustre, chez certains mรฉnages interrogรฉs, par lโinvestissement dans la dรฉcoration intรฉrieure mais aussi dans la maroquinerie, les vรชtements et le parfum de marque ; des achats qui traduisent le dรฉsir des mรฉnages populaires dโacquรฉrir des biens tournรฉs vers une esthรฉtique et un raffinement associรฉs aux mรฉnages les plus aisรฉs[6].
Le succรจs dโAction traduit aujourdโhui lโadoption gรฉnรฉralisรฉe de la norme dรฉcorative. Longtemps tenus au ยซ goรปt du nรฉcessaire[7] ยป et aux seules consommations orientรฉes vers la fonctionnalitรฉ, les milieux populaires trouvent chez ce distributeur le moyen de renforcer au sein du foyer la place des objets qui visent ร lโesthรฉtisation du dรฉcor et ร lโintroduction de la dimension imaginaire. Un divertissement populaire dรฉnuรฉ de tout jugement moral
Parallรจlement ร cette demande de conformitรฉ sociale qui, en tant que contrainte, se dresse sur le chemin de lโorientation vers la sobriรฉtรฉ matรฉrielle, les diffรฉrents propos de clients familiers traduisent un ancrage fort de lโenseigne dans leur quotidien. Il semble primordial dโexaminer cet attachement et ses ressorts sociaux. Celui-ci repose sur lโexistence dโun double plaisir รฉprouvรฉ face ร la sur-consommation : celui de faire lโacquisition de produits dont on assume lโinutilitรฉ fonctionnelle, dโune part, celui de dรฉambuler dans les allรฉes de magasins ร lโamรฉnagement sommaire, dโautre part.
ยซ Les produits sont bons et les prix trรจs bas mais cโest vrai quโon ressort avec beaucoup de conneries aussi ยป, concรจde une employรฉe de cantine interrogรฉe par รmilien Hertement, journaliste ร Marianne (2023). รgรฉe de 21 ans, Lucie, qui dรฉclare 1400 euros de revenus mensuels, estime ยซ quโon achรจte toujours plus de choses dont on nโa pas besoin ยป. Influencรฉe par des courtes vidรฉos diffusรฉes sur TikTok, Celena, 14 ans, accompagne sa mรจre agente administrative et se montre elle-aussi lucide : ยซ on achรจte des conneries et on ne sait mรชme pas si on va les utiliser, mais il fait gris dehors, on vient ici parce que รงa nous fait plaisir ยป. Siham, ร la tรชte dโun grand organisme public, est tout aussi rรฉaliste aprรจs avoir achetรฉ une spirale anti-moustique et des haltรจres : ยซ On est totalement dans le consumรฉrisme, on vient pour acheter des futilitรฉs pas chรจres ยป.
La restitution des tรฉmoignages pourrait รชtre allongรฉe sans difficultรฉ de quelques paragraphes. Elle traduit une reconnaissance assumรฉe de lโinutilitรฉ fonctionnelle des produits achetรฉs ou, plus exactement, les petits prix permettent de mettre ร distance toute rรฉflexion relative ร lโutilitรฉ. Ils justifient la permanence du gadget. Chez Action, cette dynamique est alimentรฉe par le renouvellement hebdomadaire de lโoffre qui entretient le goรปt du ยซ nouveau ยป, lequel conduit ร la frรฉquentation rรฉguliรจre du magasin par ses clients (150 nouvelles rรฉfรฉrences commercialisรฉes chaque semaine).
Lโinclinaison pour la flรขnerie est รฉgalement mise en avant. ยซ On vient deux fois par semaine pour sโy promener ยป, dรฉclare Corinne, employรฉe de restauration collective. Lorette, 46 ans et mรจre de deux adolescents, ยซ vient sโy promener quand elle a un moment ยป. Lucie, qui achรจte le jour de lโinterview un arbre magique, des friandises pour son chat et du gel dโaloe vera, admet elle aussi quโelle est venue sโy promener car il ne fait pas trรจs beau.
Rien nโest ici original. Lโargument de la promenade est toujours avancรฉ par les individus interrogรฉs dans le cadre dโenquรชtes consacrรฉes aux usages sociaux des espaces marchands [8]. Ce quโil est toutefois nรฉcessaire de souligner, cโest que la pratique de la promenade autour des lieux marchands, et celle du shopping observรฉe dรจs le XVIIIe siรจcle qui se conclut par une transaction รฉconomique, relรจve de lโunivers des loisirs, hors des contraintes des temps professionnel et domestique. Celle-ci procure du plaisir, en particulier parce quโelle sโinscrit dans des relations sociales.
La frรฉquentation rรฉguliรจre dโAction et ses leviers rappellent par ailleurs les raisons de la puissance de la civilisation du kitsch telle quโelle est examinรฉe par Gilles Lipovetsky et Jean Serroy : ยซ Sous la lourdeur kitsch des bibelots de pacotille se trouvent la lรฉgรจretรฉ du shopping et du lรจche-vitrine, la fantaisie ludique des achats de curiositรฉ et de mode[9] ยป. Criard, extravagant, stรฉrรฉotypรฉ, industriel et sans valeur, le kitsch charrie avec lui un ensemble de traits pรฉjoratifs. Si ยซ la civilisation du trop ยป possรจde toujours ses contempteurs, รฉpinglant son snobisme, sa superficialitรฉ et le gaspillage matรฉriel quโil engendre, il faut aussi reconnaรฎtre quโil constitue un divertissement populaire, accessible ร tous, sans effort et dรฉnuรฉ de tout jugement moral. Telle est la fonction principale de cet art du quotidien auquel on peut intรฉgrer sans difficultรฉ le shopping et lโachat de bibelots, la quรชte et la valorisation de la bonne affaire chez Action. Ce type de pratique socio-culturelle se dรฉploie sur un temps libรฉrรฉ des contraintes productives et des obligations domestiques. Action dans la civilisation des loisirs
Lโexamen sociologique de lโattachement des consommateurs ร lโenseigne Action, et plus largement ร la frรฉnรฉsie des achats dans les magasins discount et de dรฉstockage non alimentaires, nous conduit ร poser la question suivante. Alors que la critique du consumรฉrisme sโest dรฉployรฉe ร lโencontre de lโhypermarchรฉ et que la plateforme chinoise de prรชt-ร -porter Shein suscite le courroux des ONG pour des raisons sociales et environnementales, Action et ses concurrents ne font lโobjet dโaucune critique. Leur capacitรฉ ร entretenir la sur-consommation ou ร ne proposer que des emplois peu rรฉmunรฉrรฉs et des postes peu qualifiรฉs ne fait pourtant aucun doute.
Certes Action contribue ร lโemploi local, en particulier sur des territoires dรฉsindustrialisรฉs, mais Amazon ou les grandes surfaces alimentaires y assurent le mรชme rรดle socio-รฉconomique. Lโexplication est ร rechercher ailleurs. Ces nรฉo-bazars dรฉlivrent un service matรฉriel et immatรฉriel aux consommateurs. Ils leur fournissent des produits accessibles pour se conformer aux normes de consommation dominantes, dont il faut rappeler quโelles sโarticulent encore majoritairement autour du matรฉrialisme. Mais ces distributeurs procurent รฉgalement une occupation ร une grande partie de la population. Les clients se dรฉplacent volontiers en magasin, parfois quotidiennement, et parcourent souvent plusieurs dizaines de kilomรจtres pour sโy rendre. Cette activitรฉ leur procure une satisfaction qui sโinscrit souvent dans des relations familiales ou amicales. Le pouvoir de sโinsรฉrer dans lโรฉchange marchand, au-delร de la jouissance des biens et de leur usage, sโassimile ici ร un divertissement accessible ร tous ร lโimage de lโimplication temporelle et logistique que nรฉcessite la revente de biens dโoccasion sur les plateformes [10].
Lโintrication des pratiques marchandes dans des relations sociales sur ces nouvelles places du village que sont ce type de commerces populaires rend difficilement efficace tout appel ร la sobriรฉtรฉ matรฉrielle et ร la moralisation individuelle. Cโest oublier que le commerce remplit bien plus de fonctions sociales quโun simple approvisionnement.
[1] Selon lโinstitut NielsenIQ et son dispositif Homescan fondรฉ sur des consommations effectives, 52 % des foyers modestes et 30 % des cadres supรฉrieurs avaient frรฉquentรฉ lโenseigne dans les douze derniers mois prรฉcรฉdents lโenquรชte rรฉalisรฉe en 2023 (+ 1 % par rapport ร lโannรฉe prรฉcรฉdente pour la premiรจre catรฉgorie, + 2 % pour la seconde). Tous milieux sociaux confondus, 43,5 % des mรฉnages franรงais sโy รฉtaient rendus au moins une fois au cours des douze derniers mois.

Protagonists are only as good as the author's imagination. Why read tales from a TERF? In a similar way, why listen to music made by someone out of harmony? Why take in art made by an abuser? Be careful you yourself aren't abused by their output.
PowerTOP is a Linux tool created by Intel to monitor and diagnose power usage by running apps and services
โItโs best used for devices with internal batteries, and you need a way to work out whatโs draining your internal power source between charges, or those that run continuously, and efficiency is a priority. Itโs interesting in that the tool lets you manipulate power management settings to experiment with different configurations. Released in 2007, the tool has since been updated to work with modern hardware.โ
Modern power supplies adjust their power usage according to their loads over time, so apps or services using a lot of processing power over time, are going to use more energy. This is especially noticeable if the device is battery powered like a laptop.
This also does not only work for Intel processors, but also AMD and ARM as well.
The linked article also has a link at the end to another similar tool as well, which exports to Prometheus.

This is really solid floating wm with low ram footprint and infinite customization possibilities. Unfortunately the default is configuring it all with one huge conf file
It has an option to build with Go Lang (google programming language - like rust but googled) and this provides a minimalistic terminal window as a wm console (called fvwm-prompt) but without this pest code it builds the alternative called fvwm-console, which is just as good.
All other whistles and bells are turned on so enjoy playing with it.

At least last few days I remembering a Cory Doctorow's ( @pluralistic ) "Walkaway" science fiction novel.
It is about "walkaways" who tired of that shit and trying to live outside of the capitalistic world and about an extra reach oligarchy who breaks (or breaked?) the world (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkawayโฆ ). And looks like it is not a fiction now
In #puppet building we wear respirators to protect from toxic fumes caused by industrial adhesives. They are commonly available at hardware stores and apparently protect against tear gas which I mention as an interesting fact that you may or may not have use of.
