Really? Eva is pretty straightforward to understand once you watched End of Evangelion, Misato pretty much explains most of it in the movie.

Just like in France: a planned and legitimate protest turning violent near the end, clashes with the police escalating into riots after hours of tensions.

Here, there was no context to the riots other than "go to plaça Catalunya and break/steal things", no political demand whatsoever, it was a totally opportunistic chaos and nothing like I've seen in France or Spain ever.

I live in Barcelona, it was no actual protest as the article accurately explain but weaponised youth. It's incredible how completely artificial and easy it was to make happen, literally none of my friends living in the city saw it coming, me included, these riots came out of nowhere.

I'm French, mon ami.

France needs to stop spending 57% of its GDP on public expenditure while experiencing virtually no economic growth. It needs to stop handing out massive pensions and generally treating pensioners like royalty.

The French government needs to stop spending money it doesn't have when it can barely keep the lights on. New taxes in a country where the GPD is already taxed at 45%, please, give me a break.

Am I the only one having ridiculous issues in MacOS 27? The window management is simply broken, whenever I click an app in the dock the OS switches to the completely wrong screen, and when I move a window to another screen I often have a black screen on the source screen.

It's almost unusable I can't believe it passed QA _and_ is still not fixed.

Voltaire never said that. However I understand your point, the truth is Europe has been on the precipice of far-right rule for decades and the only solution the European democracies found has been to push for banning, cutting funds, censoring the beast.

Anything but address the actual issues that helped catapult them to the top.

I've started looking into creating a pest control business, or maybe renovating furnitures I find on the street. Let me know if you have other ideas for senior engineers.

So-called democratic, free, and liberal states routinely abuse their power. You may not be among those who experience it — yet — but try becoming an inconvenience to your local overlord and see how quickly the rule of law can be violated.

I can't generalise about the young French left; my answer will be biased by what I've seen over the past couple of weeks in the news and on social media.

On the left, they mostly seem to be attracted to the Mélenchon option: raise salaries, freeze prices, tax the rich. To answer your question, I would then assume that the idea of expropriation is the most appealing to them. For the French, the current situation is the result of Macronism-fuelled inequality. That's not to say there isn't a kernel of truth to it, but France has been running on fumes for a long time, and the French don't seem to understand that we can't keep financing the current level of public expenditure (57% of GDP) with OAT yields approaching 5%, not that they understand what that means anyway.

As a French I have very, very little hope anything will change. France has been on the decline for decades now, the list is too long to enumerate, it's very depressing to witness. Leaving that place has been the best decision I've ever made.

The window manager is driving me CRAZY, whenever I have an app in fullscreen and click on another app (not in fullscreen), it shows me the wrong screen, the preview in Mission Control is glitchy (the fullscreen app appears on top of all other windows). I've tried a restart, reopening all apps, it's just broken on my end. That, and a myriad of other small glitches I'm too lazy to document.

Don't open-weight models rely heavily on distillation on frontier models?

Oh ok, so then how do you qualify this event? As whoopsie? A misclick?
