What’s the general consensus on Arch? I really like the UX, although I stuck to Firefox on mobile.

It might just be your vote that flips a city or county

It’s always your vote that flipped the seat; everyone who voted after you just showed up as backup.

You mean the senile senior, Dementia Don? 34 times convicted felon and racist rapist?

Also has a secondary interpretation: out of the many countries in the world, one of them. Putting the US on equal footing with the nations of old — despite not having a king with a divine right to sovereignty.

I like this interpretation because anno 2024 it also counterweights US exceptionalism.

Imagine you have a book that’s written in Korean. If you gave it to me and asked me to read it out loud, I wouldn’t be able to make sense out of it. If you gave it to a Korean person, however, they could read it perfectly fine.

The book itself hasn’t changed — just the person reading the book. And that person has a different set of skills (or instructions, if you will).

Seems to be Cyprus from the letterhead.

Macron is the president and head of state. He’s elected directly by the citizens of France.

Attal is (was) the prime minister and head of government. ~~He’s elected by the members of parliament.~~ He’s appointed by the president but needs majority support in parliament.

“To form a government” usually means that someone is tasked by the head of state (president or king) to come up with a group of people (cabinet) that has majority support in the house(s) of parliament. That’s easy for Starmer when Labour has a majority. In other countries like the Netherlands, Germany, or Italy, that usually requires a coalition.

That will now also be the case in France.

I wouldn’t do it from this guide. Germany will trip you up.

This is full of terrible advice. Password rotation is an outdated practice.

Don’t ever reuse passwords with “zones”, just use a password manager to generate long and secure passwords for every account. Then enable MFA wherever possible, and Passkeys where they have been implemented.

Then have a recovery method for the password manager stored in a secure place.

That’s what Passkeys are aiming to do.
