Macron is turbo economical liberalism, and he does everything he can to not be affiliated with the left.

He even dissolved the Assemblée Nationale (our Parliament), and when a left-wing coalition came out on top, which should have secured them the prime minister's seat, Macron delayed the appointment for months trying to buy time for the right to secure an agreement with the far right, and ended up choosing a prime minister from a right-wing party who did had only 7% of votes.

yes, lower even than an analogue bike, because the electric motor is more carbon efficient than human muscle power which requires eating more.

Everytime I saw this claim, it ended up being bullshit. What's your source?

They don't

That's not brain drain. Brain drain is when high qualified people leave their country, mostly because of the lack of infrastructures costing them opportunities for studying or working in their respective field.

What you're talking about is capital flight. This is an issue that is systematically raised as a counter-argument by liberals in debates on taxation. The problem is that it is seriously overestimated:

• Leaving a country is a lot more complicated than it sounds: you lose your family, your friends, your culture, your habits. Many millionaires who leave their country end up coming back after a few years.
• You can't relocate your real estate investments.
• Going abroad doesn't exempt you from paying taxes (especially exit taxes).
• A country that wishes to do so can prohibit the relocation of a profitable company, or even nationalize it.
• Many rich people who threaten to leave if taxes are raised end up doing the math: if there's a profitable business, they'll stay. And in a country that finances its infrastructure soundly and has a good distribution of wealth, there's profitable business to be had.

While true, how is that any different to the arguments that were used for TV?

Television is bad because it is a passive activity, but it is less harmful than the continuous ingestion of micro-videos. But I don't see what it has to do here.

Additionally, Lemmy is a social network in the same way that Reddit is. Is this not also dangerous?

What's the connection? I didn't mention Reddit.

As has been the recommendation for practically everything for the four decades I've been on this earth, moderation is key. Instead of hating new media, either regulate it (if the evidence is truly that great) or treat it with healthy moderation.

This would be to ignore the particularly addictive nature of this kind of content. It would be like comparing apples to Snickers: both are sweet, yes, but one is much more problematic.

Let's be blunt here. Most of the people in this thread aren't worried about health

That could be a point, but I'm pretty sure that if you ask anybody, the main reason given would be that it makes you stupid. But I can agree that this opinion would not necessarily be based on anything other than the eternal contempt for novelty as video games or manga were, for example, before they became popular.

ITT: People in their mid-twenties or later, who feel superior to those that like one form of media over their preferred media.

You're just waving away an important fact, which is that shorts and their equivalents are notoriously known for killing attention spans and disrupting the management of dopamine in the brain, causing depression in particular.

We are no longer simply in the traditional custom of the elderly who despise the activities of the younger generations, we are talking about health.

Hexgears and of course lemmygrad.ml are of the same kind

Ah bah moi je suis dispo pour aider jusqu'à dimanche 10h, après c'est brunch...

Et sinon ça se passerait comment ? Y a moyen d'importer/migrer les données de jlai.lu de Lemmy vers un autre soft basé sur ActivityPub, ou est-ce qu'on part sur un bon gros reset total ?

Personnellement, je n'ai pas attendu qu'Elon Musk débloque des comptes de nazis et censure les idées contraires à l'extrême droite pour supprimer mon compte Twitter. Je connaissais la merde que c'est, alors j'ai arrêté d'utiliser son produit et de le soutenir indirectement.

Dans le cas de Lemmy, son développement tourne avec des dons, et je refuse de leur donner de la thune, et je refuse de donner des raisons pour que d'autres leur donnent de la thune.

Compte tenu du bordel que les utilisateurs d'Hexgears ont foutu dans l'autre thread, et de la longue liste d'insanités exposée ici, je vais reprendre mon commentaire et le corriger :

Perso leur instance était déjà bloquée sur mon compte. Je les vois comme un 18-25 de JVC mais à gauche et international, les discussions ne volent jamais haut.

Malheureusement, je vois sur ce post que bloquer l'instance dans les paramètres ne permet pas d'échapper à leurs commentaires. ~~mais bon, jusqu'ici ça ne m'avait pas gêné, donc je ne suis pas spécialement pour les défédérer.~~

Il faut bloquer ces dégénérés. Et au vu des immondices proférées par l'équipe principale de dev de Lemmy, je suis dégoûté de leur avoir filé des thunes et j'approuverais totalement une hypothétique migration de jlai.lu vers un soft alternatif.

I can shit inside a car and make it unbearable for everyone, that does not make me the one who controls the car.
