Macron is the president and head of state. He’s elected directly by the citizens of France.

Attal is (was) the prime minister and head of government. He’s elected by the members of parliament. He’s appointed by the president but needs majority support in parliament.

“To form a government” usually means that someone is tasked by the head of state (president or king) to come up with a group of people (cabinet) that has majority support in the house(s) of parliament. That’s easy for Starmer when Labour has a majority. In other countries like the Netherlands, Germany, or Italy, that usually requires a coalition.

That will now also be the case in France.

This is full of terrible advice. Password rotation is an outdated practice.

Don’t ever reuse passwords with “zones”, just use a password manager to generate long and secure passwords for every account. Then enable MFA wherever possible, and Passkeys where they have been implemented.

Then have a recovery method for the password manager stored in a secure place.

That’s what Passkeys are aiming to do.

How does it compare with Kagi?

Do you have any skills you can use?

You can also sign up for medical trials.

A lot of people seem to agree with you, so I’ll reassess my stance on the shampoo.

As a person with a short cut, every run of the mill shampoo has done its job. But of course your hair needs to last longer when you grow it out; so adverse effects have more time to pile up.

Soap of any kind. It’s fine if you want a certain smell, but at the end of the day it all works the same. Goes for hand soap, shampoo, detergent, body wash, etc.

Fashion clothes

Better yet: buy long-lasting stuff that is ethically produced. Primark is notoriously bad in this regard — but most fast fashion stores are.

Since Queue has already been posted: Quay. Now spelled Kee.

Celebrated!

Had a blue leather case for my iPhone 12 and it deteriorated really quickly. At the current quality, I think it’s probably for the best that they discontinue the line…

The reason I bought it was a friend of mine who had a really nice one for the X. Not sure if they cut back on quality or if the square corners aged more poorly. But after a few months, the 12’s case looked much worse than it had any right to at MSRP.

Rocking a Peak Design case right now, by the way. Absolutely loving the quality, and the fabric gives off a premium feel as well.

It doesn’t help, but there are a few factors that are more limiting right now. Labour shortage is one, as are nitrogen emissions. A lot of developers also find the current building costs too high.

There are plenty of plots that can be built on, with all of the paperwork good to go.

Ooh, that’s a lot better. I like the app, but the name felt very cringy.

Edit: Wow, I didn’t expect this to take off like this. Thanks for all the upvotes! xD

One good thing to come out of Reddit’s demise is that I hadn’t read her name in about three weeks.

I think China could use some realpolitik here. They have very little to gain by invading Taiwan, and a lot to lose. If they could change their policy and work towards a clean split, I doubt Taiwan would keep insisting that they’re the true China. And they would earn a lot of goodwill throughout the world.

Hotel California. I know many people will disagree with me, but I won’t budge on this. It’s whiny.

I’m torn on this. Restricting the when and where inherently restricts the extent of free speech. That’s not great.

Nonetheless, the guy burning the book is being an asshat for the sake of being an asshat. Generally speaking, I think we should let the asshats know that nobody likes them.

I don’t think Reddit will see a huge drop in users in the short term. But hopefully this whole kerfuffle will give a big enough boost to Lemmy to kickstart its network effect.

Engagement is the most important thing to be striving for right now!
