Melusine

In France, we used to be at the top, now I need to wait 6 months to see a lung specialist because we lack of doctor (yeah teaching 3000 doctors per year in the 90’s was a brilliant idea), we pay ~30€ and get 19€ refunded for a basic general consultation. If you want more, you need a fucking insurance. I remember spending a night in children ER waiting more than 4 hours to have an asthma attack handled because the hospital was empty. Privatization is the way to speed run turning anything into a fucking disaster.

I feel this. I can’t find motivation to migrate my selfhosting to kube or to properly follow learning tracks or ideas I have because tech world is demotivating hard. I have a co worker that silenced mypy lines because he can’t learn how to cast a Decimal | None to a float in python, data breach everywhere because why pay for security? AI. Nobody gives a shit about quality and design and maybe agile failed globally.

Depolitized white cis hetero dudes will always fall for security (French socialists even reused a far right slogan saying “Security is the first freedom” without even going social security…) as an argument. Some will keep their works hoping for third party regulation so stop them to lescent even further. For Palantir workers though, harder to defend. The palantir is litteraly bad in the lord of the ring

People’s religiom does not matter, only the political emanations from it (hello catholic church or Pie X brotherhood).

Capitalism was better than feudalism, does not mean it is a gool thing for humanity. Personnaly, I lean in between anarchism as an ultimate goal and communism to fight big companies before anarchism.

Sadly, I think it was the time where France and UK used the shah as a puppet. Not the US but not really better though (the shas was not an angel either) if I remember a video of the youtube channel Histoire crêpues (french decolonial media)

Yeah we have a lot of administrations, probably like any other country. And in there we have the Ministre de l’Interieur which lets fascists walk in the streets while disolving some antifascist organization in Lyon. They handles Police Nationale, colonization… and sometimes of the organization of elections. Its minister was the one attacking Graphene OS. This is the DINUM, which alongside the ANSI and the CNIL knows a thing or two about computing but are far less powerful

Fuck matlab !

As a French, I wait before believing it. The DINUM does not really hold authority above the rest of the government and all the other administrations. Our gendarmerie switched to ubuntu more than 10 years ago, but the police planned to change all its computers to accomodate to windows 11, and the DINUM advocated to for dong to stop using american cloud providers, but we have a shit ton of public stuff running on american cloud, including the health data hub.

A I don’t check all the boxes, so I can’t even be an egg! Checkmate!
