This is a really sexy explorer.

I love it. Love how snappy it is, love the thought that went into it, love the dark design. Awesome. I'll keep using the beta at work as long as I can but unfortunately I won't get funds to buy it for work. It's too bad that you can get updates only for one year with the normal license. Would have considered buying it for the price for private use but 200 is just too much for a file explorer.

> if we can believe the inconsistent propaganda in that regard

How is anything about those fact "inconsistant" when besides a few fringe scientists, everybody in the sector knows that for a fact.

You should pitch this for the next Chaos Computer Congress. They used to play "Hacker Jeopardy" with some self hosted solution. Yours looks much better.

They don't even need "mental health issues" because it just works. Give the toddler an iPad and it'll stop bothering you.

Scary stuff...

Funny how I get the same thing in German including the German Fascists and Propagandists.

I wonder if it's because they're still all there while others left or if there is some kind of algorithmic intention behind it.

Linux Mint.

I moved my parents to it from Windows and they never realised since they only use Thunderbird and Firefox.

Never had any issues since then.

People waved the EU case away with the same argument. Actually it is a kind of iArgument.

However nobody buys it besides their most loyal customers.

This is not a truck.

If your truck would have an extension cord going back to your factory so it can run and running the truck would be sanctioned, you could be blamed if you don't cut the cord.

Same thing here in German military where instead of saying "zwei" because it might sound like "drei", you say "zwo".

It's quite useful even though its a small problem compared to all those problems which happen because of the way you read numbers above 20. "Twenty one" becomes "one and twenty". It's not as bad as French but still a pain and I've seen Germans mixing it up also.

Being "transparent about their policies" doesn't mean that the voter understands them or their consequences.

This is just a fig leaf.

> Even the Garmin stuff is problematic. I had a Garmin watch crap out entirely while up a mountain.

I switched into the Garmin environment some years ago. Have my second watch now and spread it all over the family. Never had I one person having any kind of issues with it and we have both outdoor and everyday models.

>1. France isn't an isolated country.

What is this supposed to mean? Do you want to imply that the German Green party for example, dictates the politics in France??

> 2. That "lobby" is decades of various actvists fear-mongering and politicians afraid of unpopular decisions.

Nuclear is popular in France...your own quote says it.

Not wanting to live near a nuclear plant is hardly an argument against nuclear power itself. You are twisting the facts.

> Follow the link above for a description of anti-nuclear activism

I did. The newest info on this powerful lobby:

> In March 2014, police arrested 57 Greenpeace protesters who used a truck to break through security barriers and enter the Fessenheim nuclear in eastern France.

This is hilarious. THIS is supposed to be that powerful anti-nuclear lobby in France? 57 Greenpeace protesters? Are you joking?

Overprovisioned renewables? Hilarious sentence :D

As I have said: the transformation is not finished yet. Germany did almost nothing during Merkels time and renewables have still generated more than they lost due to the shutdown of nuclear.

Meaning: Germany would STILL burn coal even if they'd have kept nuclear.

It's not that hard to understand if you know the facts and the facts are that Germany has a law to phase out coal completely while expanding renewables. A law which few (no other?) countries even have. Even France will keep on burning coal when the last plant is closed in Germany.
