In my experience which instance you're on (and, as a result, which instances populate your feed) heavily influences how much transmedicalism (and other bigotries) you encounter.

From what I see on your profile page, you mostly interact with lemmy.world communities. That's the biggest instance, that received the largest influx of reddit-quitters, notably.

In case you haven't encountered them, you might want to take a look at some of the communities hosted on lemmy.blahaj.zone.

When you use Git locally and want to push to GitHub you need an access token.

I don't understand; I can push to GitHub using https creds or an ssh key without creating access tokens.

You're right, thanks for the correction

The English royal court became french speaking after the normands invaded, around 200 or 300 years ago. Nobles and royalty can afford lavish meals and dishes.

They can also regularly afford meat, whilst it was the peasants who tended to the animals. Thus pork (from porc) vs pig, beef (from boeuf) vs cow, poultry (from poulet) vs chicken.

It doesn't explainall of the gaps, but it's an important part of the explanation.

This is why I'm very pleased by how small in scope the upcoming Factorio expansion is compared to some of the mods that inspired/preceded it (notably Space Exploration).

Part real Greens, part Greenpeace, part Green-washing.

The background trend, unfortunately, is of the far right slowly but surely gaining votes. We pushed them back to third place today, but they still almost doubled the number of representatives they'll be sending to parliament (from 89 to the projected ~130 for today's elections).

  • In 2002, Jacques Chirac won against the far right with 82% (to the far right's 18%).
  • In 2017, Macron won against the far right with 66% (to the far right's 34%).
  • In 2022, Macron won against the far right with 58% (to the far right's 41%).

IMO it's largely a consequence of the center-left and center-right (Hollande, Macron) completely abandoning the working class, and demonizing the left whilst cozying up to the far-right (mostly Macron, though Hollande definitely slid right over his term).

The French political system, casually referred to as the “Republic of Friends,”

Where does the author get this? I'm French and have never heard of our system called as such - especially not by a French person.

An important part of that process that needs mentioning is that when the mothers are convinced by Nestle to feed their babies formula instead of their breast milk, their bodies will stop producing the milk before the baby is weaned from it.

So Nestle literally endangers babies' lives just to sell more baby formula.

In case the "dim" comment isn't a joke, as I recall it's short for "dimension", as in you are specifying each variable's dimension in the computer's memory. Source: some "intro to programming with vb6" book I read like 15 years ago at this point.
