This fella should check out stats on labour productivity. Make me work 996 and you’ll get MRE at best or I’ll quit and be a stay at home dad.

Staten Island est rouge, les 4 autres buroughs sont bleu…

(C’est aussi le burough avec l’accent le plus chiant)

I wrote and deleted an entire personal anecdote but then remembered this isn’t reddit.

This “trend” is garbage marketing. Dumb idea. Racist rage bait. Awful.

Not entirely positive that this happened. I mean the Americans beating pickpockets. I’m sure it could have happened, but I live in France and was here and never heard about this…

There is a Medium post (https://scribe.rip/the-bad-influence/americans-in-paris-ready-to-rumble-with-pick-pocketers-f62b169abccd) but there isn’t a single French news source (that I can easily find) related to this ever happening.

I live in France. For a time we had loads of poke places, still do. Insane that people pay €14 for a bowl of rice…

The biggest up-and-comer now is smash burgers (€15 burger prepared in 5 minutes anyone?), but might be tied with fried chicken which is also everywhere.

Prior to this we had a wave of French Taco joints (which are not tacos at all!).

I don’t live in a very large city though, so perhaps Paris, Marseille, and Toulouse have trends I haven’t seen yet.

Oh for sure, they can be aggravating but I haven’t watched any of their vids in over a year. I wouldn’t take their advice the same as how I wouldn’t want anyone to take my advice. Just because someone says they work in IT doesn’t mean they do, right? I used to work in a pharmacy and people would ask me for medical advice when they saw me in town, but I didn’t work in the dispensary. I knew the answer to their question, but I was not going to risk it.

I was about to watch when I realized who it was. To be honest, many of the Linux YouTubers have turned me off for different reasons, but I never enjoyed this guy’s videos and I’m not the only one…

I guess I should watch this to give a decent opinion. Other distros are just as political and decisions reflect their stance (like how Alpine doesn’t include Xlibre for reasons). As it stands, I’m fine with that.

I am unaware of the particularities surrounding the Debian situation, so I’ll still need to play catch up.
