Does France have some laws how an algorithm is allowed to behave?

CrlNvl · a month ago

Well, in a way yes. During an election day and the day before, you are not allowed to push official communication (ie a political party can tell you "Go vote" but not "Go vote for us because we will put a stop to immigration") be it via a website, email, mail, etc. See https://presidentielle2022.conseil-constitutionnel.fr/l-elec.... So a sponsored post from a political party appearing in your timeline would be an issue due to the platform if it ignores these rules.

There were also national versions, e.g. http://bash.hu is still online. Would love to have a collection, there is far too little sociological/folklore research about the net.

Is there a best version, say as replacement for a basic ink jet printer doing an average of 2 pages a day?

I have a basic Canon which, to be fair, has worked well for ten years or more but I want to be ready for when it eventually stops working.

I have a Brother DCP L2530DW: black and white laster, wi-fi, with scanner. Works perfectly for my use case (scanning invoices, printing tickets and mail), no need for a specific app be it on Android, Windows or Linux.

I'm only using the Brother Windows app for scanning purposes, as the OCR works well for my needs.

It's been 2.5 years, no issues whatsoever, just needed one toner change after a while.

MS are the kings of legacy support, no joke here. It is astonishing really.

This is their strongest point. I still remember being able to install Microsoft Money 99 on a brand new Windows 10 for my uncle, without much difficulties.

Qobuz won't be too happy about this I guess

CrlNvl · 3 years ago

Here's my workflow:

1. Plan meal using Google Sheet, one tab per week. I now have 1.5 year of meals, so I can easily find old ideas

2. Add all ingredients in a ToDo app (using Microsoft ToDo currently)

3. Look in my fridge and drawers, mark any remaining ingredients as done.

4. Go grocery shopping

Many times, buying the CD and ripping it to FLAC* is the only way to legally acquire* music for use with your computer.

* It must be lossless and high quality.

* It must work offline.

Qobuz allows you to download High Fidelity music without any DRM

CrlNvl commented on How trains could replace planes in Europe economist.com/europe/2021... · Posted by u/edward

French here: I think the conclusion is flawed. Many operators won't simplify the life of the EU citizen, per the article itself:

> Then there is ticketing. Because systems are incompatible, only a few agencies sell rail tickets across the entire continent. As for refunds, operators are responsible only for the portion of the trip on their own trains.

So if your DB train to Frankfurt is late to your french TGV to Strasbourg, then your TGV won't be compensated. And you'll have to buy a new ticket.

Some guys tried their hands to be a European train ticket reseller (Captain Train, now owned by Trainline and way less effective than it was before), but it is not an easy feat.
