I might have generalized then. It’s maybe something that we had only in the south (aka the broc à eau area). We also used it to check our age of course.

As the article said Duralex was the brand use by a large number of school cantinas in France. Inside of each glass there’s a small number used by the brand to identify the mold used for the creation of the glass. For kids that was a way to decide who is going to fetch the water for the table (smaller number or higher number of the table).
That’s why the CE is holding his glass like that in the guardian article.
Beside the nostalgia i think a lot of people support them because it’s a SCOP (the majority of the capital of the company is owned by the employees) [1] and it’s nice to see that another kind of company is possible.

To folks attending the event, what talks are you excited to listen?

For this exact use case I used instant-ngp[0] recently and was really pleased with the results. There's an article[1] explaining how to prepare your data.

I find it really practical to create a quick ui. For example i used to do glitch art with a friend that didn’t know how to use a cli, so i created a gui for him to use [0].
Egui is perfect for this use case, you create quickly lightweights softwares, than can be compiled to many different OS.

Looks awesome, nice work. I have an unrelated question, on little workshop's website I can see a pétanque game that I couldn't find online. Is there a way to play this game or was it available only during an event?

Your work contract isn't a relationship, you're example doesn't make sense here. My company isn't a person hosting a party, so why should I bring a gift?

I wonder if the fact that we spend the last 50 years or so having policies erroding all our social benefits might have a role in the deterioration of overall living conditions.
But off course no, it's because our grandparents were more loyal to their companies.

I don't fully understand your comment, are you implying that older generations were able to buy a house in their 20s because they were loyal to their companies?

> IMHO that likely because our culture changed long ago and loyalty in general is worth less and even considered stupid when there are options.
I disagree, loyalty in friendship or with your family is not worth less. Being loyal to human being is not stupid, for me it's being loyal to a company or a brand that is.
When being loyal to your close ones, you create trust and for me this is critical of my hapiness.
I don't get anything from being loyal to a company.

So basically GenZ realized that a company is not your friend, they can fire you the moment you are not valuable.
I feel sorry for older generations that let themselves be exploited, there's no point in being loyal to a company. IMO I have a deal with the company I'm working with: my skills and time for money, of course I always want a better deal which means more money or more benefits.

I also wonder if it's not mostly developers that care about that, as long as the software is well made and fast I think users will use it without thinking twice about it.
For example Blender's GUI has nothing native yet it's massively used, some people complain about the complexity of the UI but rarely if ever of the non native look.
