Il leur faut quoi ? Les incendies, rien à battre, les inondations rien à battre, les ouragans rien à battre, la sécheresse rien à battre...
Alors certes, le capitalisme en tant que système se nourrit des catastrophes et n'est pas en danger, mais même chez les capitalos, certains ont beaucoup à perdre à titre individuel.
Et ? Et rien... On ferme les yeux, en se disant que ça va passer ou qu'il n'y a rien à faire de toute façon.
@pascale Je n'en suis plus sûr, j'ai entendu Pannier Runacher dire que c'est bon, ils avaient la situation en main et qu'ils allaient anticiper les coûts en faisant grimper les primes d'assurances...
Les assurances vont se gaver grâce aux catastrophes climatiques.
@adarr_volte ça j'en doute fort, surtout les mutuelles. Ce qui est plus que probable, c'est qu'ils vont refuser d'assurer certains biens. Peut-être que sous cette contrainte, les maires finiront par arrêter de bétonner les côtes et les zones inondables (comme quoi, il m'arrive encore parfois d'être optimiste).
@pascale j'étais assez étonné, mais apparemment c'est ce qui ressort des derniers échanges. Et après réflexion, ça ne m'étonne pas car je crois que la culture de l'actuariat n'est pas du tout la même en France et aux US où c'est effectivement la cata.
@adarr_volte l'impossibilité de trouver un assureur serait également un outil puissant pour mettre un terme aux projets de mégabassines. Malheureusement, Groupama accepte encore d'assurer ces saloperies.

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus einem Fenster, auf dem Regentropfen sichtbar sind. Im Hintergrund ist ein atemberaubender Sonnenuntergang zu sehen, der von einem tiefen Blau zu einem warmen Orange übergeht. Die Wolken sind dünn und verstreut, und die Silhouette der Landschaft ist dunkel und undeutlich. Die Regentropfen auf dem Fenster verleihen der Szene eine ruhige und melancholische Atmosphäre. Die Farben des Himmels und die Regentropfen auf dem Fenster sind die Hauptthemen des Bildes. ― Das Bild zeigt eine dramatische Landschaft bei Nacht, dominiert von einem massiven Gewitterwolkenfeld, das den Himmel bedeckt. Die Wolken sind dunkel und bedrohlich, mit einem leichten Glanz, der durch die spärliche Beleuchtung durchbricht. Im Vordergrund ist ein Feld mit spärlichem Gras und ein paar Bäumen zu sehen, die im Wind leicht bewegt werden. Ein paar Gebäude, möglicherweise Farmen oder Häuser, sind in der Ferne sichtbar, mit einigen Lichtern, die durch die Dunkelheit leuchten. Die Szene ist ruhig, aber die Wolken vermitteln ein Gefühl von Unruhe und Unvorhersehbarkeit. ― Das Bild zeigt eine dramatische Landschaft bei Nacht, geprägt von einem dichten Gewitterhimmel. Der Himmel ist von schweren, dunklen Wolken bedeckt, die sich über die gesamte Breite des Bildes erstrecken und eine bedrohliche Atmosphäre schaffen. Die Wolken sind in verschiedenen Schattierungen von Grau und Schwarz, was auf eine bevorstehende Gewitterfront hinweist.
Im Vordergrund ist ein Feld mit trockenem Gras und vereinzelten Büschen zu sehen. Ein Haus mit einem dunklen Dach und ein weiteres Gebäude sind in der Nähe des Feldes sichtbar. Beide Strukturen sind von den Wolken im Hintergrund abgesetzt und wirken klein und verloren.
Einige Lichter sind im Haus und auf dem Feld zu erkennen, was darauf hinweist, dass es noch nicht vollständig dunkel ist. Ein Weg führt durch das Feld, und ein Schild ist am Rand des Weges zu sehen. Die Umgebung wirkt ruhig und still, obwohl die Wolken im Himmel eine unmittelbare Bedrohung suggerieren.
Im Hintergrund sind weitere Lichter sichtbar, die auf eine Stadt oder ein Dorf hinweisen, das sich in der Ferne befindet. Die gesamte Szene ist von einer düsteren Stimmung geprägt, die durch die Wolken und die schwache Beleuchtung verstärkt wird.

Many software license agreements say you lease the product, you don't actually own it. This battle was fought over 30 years ago. The consumer unjustly lost that fight. I would, however, love to see it overturned.
If the termination is legal in the first place, then Ubisoft have every right* to further require you to uninstall their products. That's because you need the author's permission to store a copyright-protected piece of software. Otherwise, you're infringing their copyright.
(Only thanks to this legal situation can the AGPL's network-use clause be enforced.)
* definitely in Germany and likely in the entire EU as well
Like Adobe trying to retroactively stop me using CS6 despite swearing they'd 'always support it.' These companies are self entitled, psychopathic, megalomaniacs and should be avoided like the cancer they are.
There is something in Roman Law called retroactivity, which is applied only if it's beneficial to the recipients of that regulation.
So, if you bought Assassin's Creed Origins in 2016 without that clause, and afterwards that clause is made effective, it only affects to people who bought the game after that change.
However, if something in the EULA is removed or changed for the better, it affects to every body, no matter what.
EULAs in general, aren’t worth anything because you only have one AFTER you purchase the product, so they claim ‘agreement of contract by default’, which is not how contracts work. You can fight any EULA and win, but it may take months, or longer. I beat Gateway Computers EULA but I had access to investigative assistance and could do it on my own. Anyone else would spend $$$ and take awhile to recover it. Fuck UBISOFT

The image depicts a fantasy scene featuring a woman with long, flowing red hair, sitting on rocks by the sea. She is wearing a flowing gown that transitions from white at the top to a shimmering blue at the bottom, with intricate patterns and a mermaid-like tail. The gown has sheer, billowing sleeves and a fitted bodice. Her hair is adorned with silver accessories, and she has pointed ears, suggesting an elf-like appearance. The background shows a clear blue sea with gentle waves, and the rocks are partially submerged in the water. The overall color palette is dominated by blues and whites, with the red hair providing a striking contrast. The image has a digital painting style, with soft brush strokes and a dreamy quality. The artist's signature, "Something Deviant," is visible in the bottom right corner.

"At a 2021 conference of the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), Zohran Mamdani discussed various short-term reforms favored by the organization. But alongside offering his thoughts on the groups’ immediate aims, he also had something to say about “end goal” of socialist politics: “seizing the means of production.”
In the last week, the clip resurfaced on right-wing social media, where it’s been treated as a damning discovery about Mamdani, who just won a primary to become the Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City.
National Review ran a brief item on the clip under the headline “Uh, That’s Literal Communism!” On CNN, Scott Jennings concurred, saying that Mamdani was “using the language of the Bolsheviks.” Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) said that this was “the scariest thing Mamdani has said” and that it was “straight out of Karl Marx’s Communist playbook.”
It’s unclear why these remarks about the end goal of socialist politics are supposed to be shocking. Days before this supposedly scandalous clip surfaced, when a CNN reporter asked Mamdani whether he “like[d] capitalism,” his response was a forthright “No, I have many critiques.”
And of course, Mamdani constantly called himself a “socialist” during the primary election in which he delivered a knockout blow against former governor Andrew Cuomo, defeating the former governor by 12 points in the final round.
A socialist advocating the socialization of the means of production should be exactly as surprising as a libertarian advocating “liberty” from economic redistribution or a conservative calling to conserve the status quo. This is socialism’s core defining proposition, and it is a mark of how alien many of the ideas of the Left are to the media class that Mamdani’s comments have come as a surprise."
No one should be surprised that Zohran Mamdani supports democratic control over the economy, the end goal of socialism. But he won because he combined socialist politics with practical solutions to the cost-of-living crisis facing working people.
Tours è bella, per carità. Ma essendoci arrivati dopo il silenzio e le vie quiete di Bourges, tutta la sua vita e viavai ci ha quasi disturbato. E comunque ha meno attrattiva architettonica. Sarà la turisticizzazione. Però abbiamo mangiato benissimo.
So, Robert Chote, head of the Office for National Statistics is 'stepping down' because of the obvious failures at the ONS in the last few years..... or is he?
Well, he's certainly leaving, but stepping straight into the Presidency of Trinity College, albeit at around half the salary, but with considerable 'benefits' including housing & living costs....
So, as so often with our managerial class, not so much paying the price of failure, but leaving the wreckage behind....
It does seem as if there's a social layer that are allowed to fail sideways when they show their incompetence. Hard not to believe that their entry to their initial roles weren't equally (err) <em>facilitated</em>
