I believe they should be broadcast by the national public television (France Television) which you can watch live on https://france.tv/ ; that’s if you don’t mind french lol

They may ask for an account but there’s no email check, just type whatever and you can watch it

That’s super interesting, I do remember being taught as a kid how to use Google Image search (circa 2005), Gimp for photo manipulation around the age of 12 in 2008, we had technology classes with electronics, technical drawing, even some plastic bending machine, and light programming (made a robot figurine execute recorded moves in sequence)

I do wonder if it’s still the case in my own country

Computer literacy is weird because it feels like millennials were born into it and had to learn how to use the tools available… Then said tools were made a lot simpler with a lot less control over them, and Gen Z was born into apps and saas and did not have the chance to properly learn

We generally only taught a single generation to master our tech, I think it’s scary, but also I trust the Zoomers to figure it out, they’re creative

A link in case anyone is curious : they’re repurposing the Defense Arena https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qV8jmM18sw

Why be so antagonizing, this is a discussion

It’s not your job to go look for those statements either, they can search for more information themselves and report back with their findings

“Pro russian far left” is the rhetoric used by the Macron government, the parties of this union have consistently condemned the Russian invasion, the program they revealed mentions :

Defend Ukraine and peace on the European continent to thwart Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression, and for him to answer for his crimes before international justice: to defend unwaveringly the sovereignty and freedom of the Ukrainian people as well as the integrity of its borders, by delivering necessary weapons, cancelling its foreign debt, seizing the assets of the oligarchs who contribute to the Russian war effort within the framework permitted by international law, sending peacekeepers to secure nuclear power plants, in an international context of tensions and war on the European continent and working towards the return of peace

Far left in France has a specific definition that seems to be blatantly disregarded by french politicians : those who want to take power via a revolution are far left, this union is playing the game of gaining power through the popular vote

I wish eyedropper had a keyboard shortcut, or an icon to easily add, it’s probably one of my most used tools

I’m not sure about the semantics but I think both can be used interchangeably ?

Agreed, half an hour out of one’s day on a Sunday isn’t much to at least get involved however small it is

I would argue voting is one of the lowest forms of participation in the political life of one’s country, but that’s not a debate I’m ready to have at this hour

I’ve only been to Iceland so I can’t judge the others, Norway really fascinates me with its nature, and political history. The Baltics are on the map, I was supposed to go to Latvia in 2021 for a concert, but it’s been postponed 5 times, but I hope I get to visit all three of them as well.

Completely misread the comment, I’ll edit

Maybe https://writefreely.org/ ? But it’s very simple with not a lot of customisation

Or https://joinplu.me/ but its development has been halted lately

Excellent summary of the political situation in France, thanks for sharing

Macron took pride in this ability to see beyond ideological apriorism and see all sides of the issues. He was neither left nor right – he was both. Or neither.

The french leftists are usually mocking Macron’s catch phrase "neither left nor right", we say he’s neither left, nor left

Fun fact : Yam’s is the french name for Yahtzee

No way when this https://lifehacker.com/tech/discord-data-sold-to-ai-and-law-enforcement and this https://spy.pet/ exist

The rise of fascism in France does come from the actual far right, it’s been a gradual change of policies and the implementation of authoritarian measures by the very government who keeps saying “vote for us to save democracy from the fascists”. Macrons has deliberately betrayed the left wing voters, repressed protesters, and kept moving further and further right… [1] [2] [3] [4]

So yeah I don’t know what advice to give, be watchful and attentive of actions, not promises 🤷

The upcoming European elections are seeing a massive win for the French far right, people are blinded by their fake anti Macron stance (when both of them are voting for each others policies at the parliament), it’s quite depressing

Being french, I will call my government hypocrite no matter what, any chance I have 😛
