I wouldn't call Mélenchon and LFI socdem, but let's see how much his party is included in the government.

That's an overall accurate analysis, but more leftists have dropped out than centrists. A number of centrists refused to drop out, leading to far right seats rather than leftists.

Hi everyone. You can easily add a website shortcut to the home screen through a browser ("add to home screen"). However, if I change browser or if I need to clear the browser data, these links disappear. Maybe I'm using too unstable of a browser, but I'm tired of having to recreate my shortcuts.

Is there any way of adding a website shortcut to the home screen in a browser-agnostic way?

Another possible interpretation I haven't seen in the comments: it's possibly about capitalism under which companies fund school where you learn that it's normal to be a wage slave or something like that?

I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.

Given that one of their goals is to highlight unfair treatment on religious basis, I'm sure they are delighted that someone illustrated their point.

When we look at the sky, there is a line where there is way more stars than usual. This line goes all the way around the sky. This was called the milky way by the Greeks because it was like a road sparkled with milk drops. At some point, we deduced that we were in a group of stars arranged in a flat disk. Later, we realized that some weird space clouds (nebulae) were much further away than we thought and were actually other huge groups of stars like our own that we named galaxies, still after milk.

There are more details me course. Even along the line in the sky drawn by the milky way, there is one side where there is much more stars and dust than the other. We deduced that we were at the edge of the disk and the bright region was the center of our galaxy. Also, the amount of gas and dust that block certain types of light that teach us that our galaxy has arms.

Are the US and EU late, or is it a deliberate business decision from EV car manufacturers to aim for bigger and luxury cars because they make more profit?

I haven't tried Scrinever. What follows is about trying to convert people to Linux, you can safely ignore the comment if you're not interested.

If the will doesn't come from him, he will certainly look for things he doesn't like and that will confort him in staying on Windows.

I'd say keep him informed and let him make his decisions with the information he has.

Assisted GNSS is pretty handy. My phones gets my approximate location very fast. If I want to plan a route from where I am, I don't have to wait a couple minutes for the GNSS signal to be received (if I'm in a location where I can receive it).

But obviously, waiting a couple minutes before starting a journey is acceptable to avoid being tracked by Google, so I disabled the Enhanced Location mode on my Android phone.

Is there a private alternative for A-GNSS?

Since I've joined Lemmy, I've been trying to learn more about leftist political systems and how current activists would like to implement them. I'm also interested in building a nuanced opinion on historical implementations of Marxism.

In my understanding, public scrutiny can be multiple. About methods: free press, direct reports from the state, NGO or foreign observers; and about subjects: military, internal or external affairs, industrial.

What effect does state transparency have on society (good or bad), and would you prefer to live in an open political system personally? Which kind of transparency?

During the cold war, how open and transparent were the USA and USSR? How open are the US, China, Russia and the EU currently?

Do you know resources that approach these subjects that I could read?

Of course. And I'll continue to do so as long as advertisement is detrimental to my online experience. If it wastes my time by forcing me to watch an ad before a video, if it distracts me from reading a text because of animations, if it tries to scam or shock me, I'm better off blocking it. I'm not against advertisement as communication that a useful product or service exists, I'm against advertisement abuse and greed.

I'll happily pay for, donate to, or otherwise support services important to me that need and deserve it.

Looking for mods (feddit.nl)

This is a placeholder community. If you're motivated to handle the moderation, publish posts for each event etc. please manifest yourself.

In the meantime I'll moderate the community if people participate by themselves but won't publish content.

It seems to have become a habit that most good things about the internet is linked to the EU. I'm really grateful. That being said, I hope that Lemmy can become a collaborative project uniting a lot of devs rather than rely on two people.

About the scandal; as long as their opinions do not influence the platform I don't see them as relevant to Lemmy. If they are illegal, let justice do its work.

That's a classic reddit moment. There's such a good community on that website, it's tragic that reddit wants to use that against itself.

These kind of protest won't reduce the traffic on the platform though. They might even gain traction and increase it. If it's not linked to reduced ad revenue, I'm afraid it's counter-productive.
