Could someone point me to how they run their service ? I mean technically. I am also interested in what harship they faced and how they responded. Do they have docs ? I may or may not know some peoples that loves open source and this kind of infrastructure ;)

Plus it would be a waste to loose all that work. Some folks are interested?

First of all, Thanks a lot for explaining and posting links ! Obviously i was focused into france and stupidly made a general thing. And some of it does apply to france and alike. I need to nuance my point.

But i am like WTF america ? I knew the poverty is on the rise and the education is not as good as other countries. (you absolutely have very very very good school but for the 0.1% only. For the majority of the population, they get by with what they can get and some schools are better then other. Feel free to shit on me on that, it is nothing more than an accumulation of little thing and i hope for nothing more to be wrong)

For example, in belgium, whatever school you graduate from, they are equivalent. You can acces university. A year of university cost less than a 1000€. If you are from a poor family, you can ask to pay lower and/or have funds to help your children learn. Plus every diploma you got should be valid in the whole EU (is not 100% true yet) (well right wing politicians are like "this cost too much" and "our kids are stupider and stupider, lets privatize schools" ... maybe it will not be so good anymore)

Sorry, i disgress. Ok poverty is on the rise you read less, housing crisis make people anxious, anxious peoples do not stop to read a long book, Covid confinement basicly put everyone in prison for some years, yeah it has traumatic effect including trouble to focus and reading. Peoples have more and more stuff to do, they do not have time to read anymore, they overburdened themself (free fuck the grindset) They are anxious, burdened, poor and stressed, tiktok offer an easy, no stress, passive way to distract yourself from the world. Fucking hell.

A lot of it is true too for france and europe and while wtf i didn't knew it was so bad for americans.We are aimed in sorta the same direction. But thinks are not that bad yet. Right wing politicians use reading stats as "public school do not make young kids reads a lot of book, it is a failure of a system make it private" and is based on a lot of flimsy stupids claims that we have to debunk. like :

• once you achieved a basic level of literacy (you can read on your own a big book) and know how to resume and select relevant information (those are tested skill) well reading more does not significantly improve anything.
• The education crisis in lots of skils like math, chemistry, french, history and skills like critical thinking, empathy, understanding, etc is more linked to the size of class, the lack of funding for school, the desperate state of our scholing infrastructure, the teachers that very badly paid, etc It is more of an issue of the system and the mean than just reading. But again, put such system in question like "why learning basic and absolutely necessary skills to people should be subject to capitalist competition" ? Why would that make any sense ?

Thanks for sharing.

I agree with you with sillage. I have read some at college, some during my young, some when i was sleeping in some friends houses. So i do have a teenage vibe but not because of the themes. I remember vividly of the 17 tome "grand froids" that explore dictature, exploitation, racism, etc.

Yoko Tsuno is amazing! i will check out orbital and "le cycle de cyann"

Thanks a lot !

Well there is some of my own experience, some friends that are librarians, the wonderfull book "sois jeune et tais toi, une réponses a ceux qui critiquent la jeunesse" in english "be young and shut up! an answer to thoses that mock the youngs" from Salomé Saquee that goes above and beyond explaining that most stereotypes abount youngs are just that, stereotypes. https://world.edu/yes-young-people-are-still-reading-but-differently/

But i believe that reading is important, i believe you do too.

Do you have other sources? we could have a complementary vision of the world ;) Or both learn something ;p

Ah well, that the problem. It is quite unique.

I believe the edition "619 label" will have what you search.They are independent and let the artist have their artistic freedom.

Mathieu Bablet work with them. Look at everything he does you will find theme linked to space, war, love, futurs, nature, humanity place in such a world,etc He is quite prolific and bring novelty everywhere.

For serialized work. I recently found "SAGA" by vaugan/staples to be amazing. "Sillage" is a serialized work for young adult but it should fit your bill

Singelin is the author of "Frontier" published with editor rue de Sèvres. It is amazing ! Bonus, he is the character design artist behind one of my favorite vidéo game: citizen sleeper.

As a bonus, animation show "scavenger reign" should be up for you. Same for the trilogy of books "the wayfarer" that start with "a long way to a small angry planet" by becky chambers

they do. The "kids dont read anymore" come from i don't know where.

they read books, book tiktok is a thing. Youtuber as well. They read journal articles online or otherwise, they text each other so... they read same for social media. Audiobook is on the rise. In my book it count as reading a book. You are aware of each line of content of the book.

The most "kids don't read anymore" come from politicians that attribute the closure of library to young people instead of amazon, policies that does not protect or recognize librarians, etc.

that why picture are so good. They contain so much details it help to remind.

For anyone reading this.

What this greedy capitalist want are people working all the time. The poorer and desperate they are the better. It mean they will accept ANYTHING in order to barely survive. The perfect worker/soldier !

I passionate myself for french politics. Some right politician (they could be considered leftist by some American standard) want less paid annual leave. It is very unpopular and it need extraordinary constant popular démonstration to not pass that thing.

The french have these thing because the resistance during the war asked for such things and more at the end of the war. They have it because of mass strike, popular démonstration, etc.

It is NOT a fixed thing. And french politicians are not good listener, sometimes, they just do whatever they want. For example the when a cops use his gun, they had to justify and prove the use of strength. A recent law changed that. The cops using his gun is his right. It is up to the victim to prove that it was not appropriate. The law is dubbed "license to kill" by the opposition. An extraordinary petition was signed in a very short time. It passes anyway.

No country is better than another. Power and greed go well together. France still have social security, paid annual leave, not getting shot by cops for no reason. But it is always a "for now"!

It is the election season, some candidats campaign for better, far far better than they have but... they are dubed extreme left (to the disarray of actual leftist revolutionary parties). Methods of discredit are the same. Helping others start with yourself and end with everyone.

I am sorry but WTF !!!

• There is a spore community on lemmy
• It present cool game
• It is open source !

Thanks a lot, i will check and support them ;) It look cool as heck !

Wow okay, thanks a lot for all the info! I am amazed by how knowledgable your are, thanks for sharing such cools projects ;)

i suppose you know already of the missingpartclub? https://youtu.be/yk36WKSlsqA

A full DIY mechanical metal prosthetic. Granted, it is not available for sale and is more of a self journey.

When i saw that "hey it is simple and mechanical it is so new" i didn't realize that prosthetics for fingers were in such a state.

You could even expand on that. DNA is the blueprint (genotype). However you are talking about life, and life will find a way to live to the best of its abilities. Let's dig on that:

• imagine your original dog lacked some nutrients at some point, it may seem minor, ridiculous even but the expression of some sub-recipe could not activate properly during growth. So the recipe(genotype) was there but did not complete. The result (phenotype) is different.

• Life is alive. Lots of things are active, well everything. Ex: for black and white cats, the black spots are due to hot spot on the body. So if you shave your cat, cover some area, it will grow black instead of white.

• Plus you are assuming that the same blueprint, the same conditions give the same results. When replicating cells make mistakes that could radically change behavior, physical appearance, health conditions,etc

The last is more philosophical and less sciency. The more you love a companion, the greater the loss. You regret everything that will be no more. Loss is an expression of the care you gave each other and you still give to each other. It was and is an existence that impacts and affects you.

The pain is so unbearable that it crush to dust the "is it possible to do this" part of your reasoning. It obliterates the "should i do this". And finally it even makes you miss the "should my companion would want that".

It is the thing that i find ugly.The lack of consent. Without consent, There is no care, no love. You love each other so much that even in the absence of the other the effect is so great yet you would disrespect all the things that you have been through, all the lessons and mistakes, all the moments that were precious because they happened once instead of never, all the things you have built together (including yourselfs).

Plus it is a slippery slope. Your companion dumped you (it is a loss!). You clone it, put the same memories, everything in it. You comodified your relationship, your companion. You disrespect their freedom and consent to even leave you.

It dumps you again, those memories of them should be the problem. Do you alter them ? So convenient. Obviously, it is not a relationship but a shitty product, a mere convenience for someone that refuses to grow, to learn.

You could give and receive so much care yet you prefer a farce, a lie where every moment reminds you that those moments are passed and gone. It is not about both of you anymore, it is only about yourself. You have a problem, not a relationship.

I will moderate myself a bit. In all the bits that make us humans you have the fear of pain and loss and the need to control everything. Your way of thinking is not ugly but human. However should you put that into practice in one form or another it will become ugly very fast.

If anyone reading is experiencing such emotions. Take care of yourself, ask for help and share your experience if you are able to. Your relationship is unique. The emotion you experience is a part of human nature.We are not alone.
