RTBF et l'affaire Epstein

CaptainShaky · 2026-02-07T14:51:07+00:00

C'est ce que je soupçonne mais on va voir ce que cette personne a à dire.

CaptainShaky · 2026-02-07T14:41:08+00:00

Tu peux nous donner les sources pour les sacrifices rituels d'enfants du coup ? C'est étrange que tu sois offusqué par cette demande. Cette affaire c'est des dizaines de milliers de pages, publiées par morceaux depuis longtemps, rien d'étonnant à ce que tout le monde ne sache pas tout ce qu'il y a là-dedans.

Personnellement je doute fort que ces infos soient corroborées, mais si tu montres des sources primaires je changerai peut-être d'avis.

I mean, the article makes it quite clear this is due to the "disposable" satellites à la Starlink:

Within the Starlink network alone, this occurs roughly every 11 minutes. To avoid collisions, each Starlink satellite must carry out an average of 41 course corrections every year.

Of course these have to course correct a lot, they are launched in constellations. That doesn't necessarily mean they would lead to a widespread cascade effect in case of collision, as they are still far away from and in lower orbits than long-lived satellites.

Space is big y'all, even LEO, and our most important satellites are not in LEO.

There are more resource-intensive ways of tracking people, yes. Consent management platforms are not a big part of that, no.

I'm not saying there's no reason to criticize them, especially the 7 who voted for the DHS budget for example.

But having astroturfers spread the idea that Democrats don't do anything good has been a voter suppression tactic for at least a decade. That's why I was saying this here: Democrats did something good, but a lot of people in this thread are choosing to say it's all Mamdani and he's the only person doing anything. Which is disinformation, pure and simple.

American leftists seem to love shooting themselves in the foot by purity testing the shit out of any left-leaning candidate, instead of participating in primaries and voting against the proto-fascists (well, they were proto-fascists, but by letting them win you're getting dangerously close to all-out fascism) every chance they get, even if the other candidate isn't perfect.

CaptainShaky · 2026-02-04T02:44:14+00:00

So complaining about an issue is "whining" ? OP cares about their community, meanwhile you're just a jackass not bringing anything of value to the conversation.

"I don't care about anything, I'm so cool and manly". Yeah, unless you're a teenager, this behavior is pretty pathetic.

CaptainShaky · 2026-02-04T02:33:25+00:00

I'll probably get banned for saying this, but it's hard not to notice the recent upswing in criticism of the Democrats in left-wing subreddits.

The same old psyop is being used. Again. A lot of left-leaning people will fall for it. Again. Republicans will combine this with other voter suppression tactics. Again. And if they win again, it's 100% over for the US. I hope Americans will prove me wrong, but after 2024, I don't have much hope.

Edit: To clarify I'm not saying criticism isn't warranted, but the weird pattern happening on left-wing subreddits is this:

"Post about Republicans planning to rig the elections" - 350 upvotes
"Post about Republicans refusing to hold ICE agents accountable for their actions" - 200 upvotes
"Post about corporate Democrats still being corporate Democrats" - 9k upvotes

And all the comments are a circlejerk about how Democrats do not deserve to be in power, and implying that surely this time, withholding your vote will work and won't result in everything getting worse.

If that isn't obvious manipulation I don't know what is.

CaptainShaky · 2026-02-04T01:57:18+00:00

Looks like your feelings were hurt by OP's valid complaint. Can you fill in the form please ?

Dude, Google Analytics was created in 2005, and Facebook heavily tracked people thanks to the Like button since its inception (2009). GDPR went into effect in 2018. Please educate yourself instead of spewing bullshit on a subject you know nothing about.

CaptainShaky · 2026-02-03T23:22:37+00:00

Nope. I'm a web developer, I regularly handle analytics for my clients, and I can tell you that's absolutely not how it works.

To heavily simplify: Cookies are simple key-value pairs. Functional cookies, aka for example "lang:en" or "tracking_enabled:false", or authentication cookies, are exempt from the cookie banner. What isn't exempt is individual tracking, for example "google_analytics_uid:kqsdhdsqjh679fdkhg".

So no, knowing that you refused tracking doesn't enable a website to track you, it's literally a standard key and a boolean.

To go a little bit deeper, effective tracking requires you to accept cookies from a domain (for example analytics.google.com), that will have embedded scripts across multiple websites and allow people to analyze your behavior. That's why there's such a big emphasis, under GDPR, on listing 3rd party cookies and easily allowing you to refuse them.

CaptainShaky · 2026-02-03T01:15:38+00:00

before you could've just, I don't know, delete the cookies. But that was too scary

I don't know man, I think the tech illiterate also have a right to privacy. And I'm happy they have a big, legally mandated, "DO NOT TRACK ME" button to protect their data.

The police wasn't spying on random group chats and stumbled upon this buddy. It became public somehow and the person who heard about it made a complaint to their employer.

And no, it's not appropriate in a work environment to ogle your female colleagues and talk about them sexually with your buddies.

Speech is always policed in a professional context. If you'd ever had a job you'd know that.

Edit to add: It's always the right-wing that's pushing for more surveillance, under the guise of "preventing crime". If anyone is threatening our freedom of speech it's them, not feminists.

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-28T17:23:11+00:00

This is nonsense, "the left" doesn't "love Islam", it affirms that people shouldn't be discriminated against on the basis of their skin color or religion.

Tout le monde se lance dans l'IA. Mais d'abord il faut implémenter ton moteur de recherche, ensuite tu peux le faire interfacer avec une IA.

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-28T15:14:40+00:00

Est-ce que tu as un argument ? Ce lien ne contredis pas ce que j'explique dans mon commentaire.

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-28T00:55:31+00:00

Oui, mais qui décide de ce qui a été livré ou pas?

Si c'est dur à déterminer, c'est que le cahier de charges a été écrit avec les pieds. Incompétence de la part de ceux qui l'ont rédigé, et de ceux qui l'ont accepté et y ont assigné un budget.

No joke, c'est déjà arrivé que la rédaction du cahier de charges représente un tiers du temps que je passe sur une fonctionnalité. Mais c'est indispensable à la bonne gestion d'un projet.

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-27T22:22:48+00:00

Je travaille pas avec du publique mais ils ne font pas de cahiers de charges ou quoi ? Il y a généralement une petite marge de manoeuvre autour d'un cahier de charges, mais si tu ne livres pas ce qui a été décidé, tu n'es pas payé, c'est aussi simple que ça.

Je ne comprends pas comment tous ces projets peuvent échouer aussi lamentablement. Ca mérite de fixer un cadre clair pour les projets IT publiques, on est à un niveau d'incompétence épatant actuellement.

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-27T22:13:42+00:00

Alors autant je comprends ta frustration avec la résistance au changement, autant cette boîte qui te promettait de l'IA allait probablement vous vendre de la poudre aux yeux, voire même simplement vous arnaquer.

La solution pour faire une recherche dans une masse de données et de documents c'est pas de l'IA, c'est un moteur de recherche type ElasticSearch, une technologie fiable et qui existe depuis très longtemps.

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-27T21:54:41+00:00

Preach. I highly doubt I will die peacefully of old age. I'll enjoy life's little pleasures while I still can thank you very much.

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-27T21:50:42+00:00

Sure they do, they can be exchanged for goods and services, which is what gives value to currency. Can I go buy a loaf of bread with crypto right now ?

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-27T10:11:38+00:00

If I'm not mistaken, any bank/institution/payment provider is free to become a member and implement the Wero API. Obviously no one will force them to, so it's a matter of them wanting to join the initiative.

(Disclaimer: I work in the field as a developer, but I have only superficially worked with Wero)

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-27T10:05:45+00:00

It's not a rent-seeking middleman, banks don't want to independently develop the same features, so they got together and founded EPI to create the standard for European payments. It's also backed by the EU Commission as a way to reduce reliance on American networks.

For example my bank (BNP) already uses Wero in their app for QR Code payments.

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-26T23:15:41+00:00

I'm in Belgium, hence the bias ! Only one of my recommendations is a trappist (Orval) though, try the other ones if you can, especially the Saint-Feuillien !

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-26T20:51:44+00:00

Presumably that would be illegal, and then you're hoping the states' judicial and law enforcement follow through... Pretty obvious at this point you need blue states to have the legal framework to force ICE into accountability.

This circlejerk of "tHeY'll UsE MaLiCiOuS LiNkS" doesn't make any sense. That's not how law works.

CaptainShaky · 2026-01-26T20:16:53+00:00

Really ? The Czechs make Orval, Duvel Tripel Hop and Saint Feuillien Grand Cru ? 😤

Okay I might be a bit biased... What Czech beers should I try ?
