ElMocambo_x4··on La Bougie Du Sapeur
Given how quickly things change, 4 years is more than enough for something random to become labelled "far-right"... (even Friends is offending Gen Z now)
ElMocambo_x4··on Sudo for Windows
What are the common points with Linux, and the differences?
ElMocambo_x4··on Operation Triangulation: What you get when attack iPhones of researchers
Sure, it's not like we've been made aware of a history of backdoors through the Snowden or Shadowbrokers leaks...
ElMocambo_x4··on Nepal bans TikTok and says it disrupts social harmony
Instagram's influence on people is of a different kind (which doesn't mean it is not a concern...). TikTok directly fuels violence and low IQ, especially amongst teenagers.
ElMocambo_x4··on The Pentagon and CIA have shaped thousands of movies into effective propaganda
Yet another "conspiracy theory" that turned out to be true.
ElMocambo_x4··on Quantum physicists explained earth’s oscillating weather patterns
I realized I asked a similar question but then let's put it another way: would it be problematic if in reverse, some quantic phenomenons were found to be described well by Newtonian equations ?
ElMocambo_x4··on Quantum physicists explained earth’s oscillating weather patterns
Would a knowledgeable person be able to explain the following to a rookie: if the quantum physics equation describe a reality (or "phenomenons") which cannot be comprehended in the non-quantic reality (ie. classical physics), how can there be common patterns in both realities where equations from one realm would somehow still match patterns in the other realm ?
ElMocambo_x4··on French govt. says users of uBlock Origin, Signal etc. are potential terrorists
No, their bias is grotesque. They make it sound like the DGSI bothered monitoring some dudes because they are using uBlock origins, lmfao.

For the US guys here, the equivalent would be the FBI tracking down a few guys back from Afghanistan, monitoring who they talk to, see that they are curious about how to make bombs, how to encrypt your communications, etc, and write an article saying "oh look, the FBI thinkgs that buying sugar at the supermarket is suspicious", because among 1000 other evidence, the FBI at some point noted that "individual bought ingredients to a make a bomb and bought 25kg of sugar".

Do you have sources for the "right-wing groups" dissoluted for "masscring gays around the pride parade" ? Thanks.

I know of Generation Identitaire banned after it protested the construction of a Mosque, i didn't hear the lefties defend right to protest at that time. :)

ElMocambo_x4··on French govt. says users of uBlock Origin, Signal etc. are potential terrorists
When it calls for their equivalent groups on the right ("Generation Identitaire") to be banned ? When it attacks hotels where Zemmour is having a book-signing event ?
ElMocambo_x4··on How the brain processes German and Arabic
Why would the "normal" way of thinking/saying things, involve putting the verb, then the object, and not the other way around ? Pretty much like arguing that the normal way of writing is from left to right. Good demonstration of how brains are wired differently.
ElMocambo_x4··on How the brain processes German and Arabic
These studies seem to confirm intuitions that many people have expressed in many ways, especially regarding German philosophers who cannot easily be translated in other languages because of the "analytical" properties of that language.

As someone who speaks several languages it is also very apparent that somehow the infrastructure in the brain must be slightly different for different languages. For instance, to pick German again, when "caching" certain parts of sentences for later processing, which does not exist in other languages.

The brain being a muscle, it is only natural that this would translate in more developed cognitive abilities for those language speakers.

I've heard several takes on Asian students being better than others in maths: one of those argued that both the languages themselves, plus the way they are taught to young kids, could, on the long term, make brains better suited to maths. Would be curious to see such studies on that.

ElMocambo_x4··on US urged to reveal UFO evidence after claim that it has intact alien vehicles
"Conspiracy theories are ok when it's us discarding UFOs" :o)
ElMocambo_x4··on US urged to reveal UFO evidence after claim that it has intact alien vehicles
It's funny to see how far into the absurd people are ready to go in order to discard UFO recordings. Sure, live space travel across light-years sounds crazy. But what you are ready to come up with in order to tell us that army radars, USAF pilots, etc, are all delirious, like giant "psyops".... is even crazier.
ElMocambo_x4··on US urged to reveal UFO evidence after claim that it has intact alien vehicles
The USAF and the Pentagon themselves released those videos, labeling those recording as "unexplainable".

Let me point them, and the fighter jet pilots, to "Scotty79-from-the-internet", so that they can all understand that what they all saw or recorded were in fact birds. :p
