  • While there is tons of nice place/stuff to do in Paris, many people see it as a perfect, romantic, ideal whatever city, and a visit there the trip of a lifetime.

    Paris is a 10 million inhabitants urban area with all the associated problems,

    Imagine thinking you’re in the perfect city and being stuck in a crowded train, then in traffic, and falling in any possible tourist traps, from the barely legal but legal low quality, high price restaurant to the pickpocketsand other petty crime




  • What’s she intended audience and the speaker profile?

    An AI summit for math/Computer science/Physics students would look very different from an AI summit for business/economy/law students.

    -Should everyone get a basic knowledge of how it works under the hood so they use it properly?

    • Which new jobs will appear? And which one will be replaced

    • Is it time for UBI?

    • Shall we setup laws to limit what can be done with AI?

    • Is AI a massive copyright violation?

    Seize the illegally obtained wealth, pay civil damages to the victims and rehabilitation program including education and psychological support.

    I’m fine saying that people like Dutroux, Breivick or Abdeslam shall not be out before a very long-time. However, they’re not the average criminal.

    Let me return you the question, there is that single-mother who struggle to pay the rent, and debt collector knocked her door a few times, a drug dealer ask her if she can keep a package for them and that someone will pick-it up tomorow night and give her 500 € in exchange, does that woman (Which is now part of drug dealer network) desserve jail-time ? Wouldn’t giving her the mean to pay the rent prevent her from needing to take part of drug traffic ? That drunk person has a fight in the train station, the other fighter falls on the track as the train arrive, now a person died. Does the person desserve to spend 5-10 years in jail ? Wouldn’t Rehab work better ?

    I’ll go even further and say that welfare program, teacher, psychiatrist and some other do way more at preventing crime than police, jail and hard on crime policies




  • I plan on doing exactly that for the following 6 months (quit my job, taking a break to address burnout and reorient): nothing.

    I wouldn’t call adressing a burnout a Sabbatical but a sick leave, a Sabbatical is choosing to take time off work for a project, not needing to take time off work for your mental health

    Sorry that you’re there (And use the health issue as an explanation for the hole in your CV if they ask)


  • Weirdest I’ve seen was that voter who comes to his voting office, not to vote but to insult The president, The mayor, the volunteer and staff present, and even some of the voters we spent like 5 minutes trying to de-escalate and negotiate Please either leave or vote, but stop insulting everyone and it’s finally when the voting office chairwoman took her phone to call the cops that this guy went away. (Thanks for the extra paperwork, because event though the cops didn’t have to physically remove a person out of the voting station, we know had to describe the incident in the report, at least it was a consensual decision for every official present)

    On more banal stuff I’ve seen that tall/large gentleman on crutches who put the voting booth down when trying to enter inside.

    I’d recommend you persevere with getting a lemmy.world one and use that as your main one.

    I would advise against lemmy world and .ml, .world is already way too big, the day they fail, all lemmy will collapse. Place like lemm.ee or sopuli or Blahaj, or Fedia if you prefer mbin are way nicer.

    That said, .ml works good enough to discover lemmy, don’t panic too much
