Yeah, I think these stats are bs, some people are also debunking the taco bit.
According to Wikipedia, France is about 40% of the European market and I don't think Japanese read much western comics, so I don't think that's what we talk about.
In my perception this French anomaly comes from two factors :
There was a French TV segment in the 90s called "club Dorothé" that imported a lot of Japanese animation, initially because it was cheaper that producing or importing other TV shows. This got a whole generation addicted to mangas and now it's just part of culture.
There is an actual cultural proximity between France and Japan, the most obvious part being the obsession about food.
I'm not sure scams are so subtle. For example fishing emails are often so obviously scam that people think there are designed to filter very gullible people or very unlucky persons who actually waited for a call with the exact same context as the scammer will give.
Well, when good documentation is available it isn't necessary but good documentation is not always available. And it can still be helpful with niche issues 🤷
Same here, most delivery service will not even bother performing the delivery about 30% of the time and just leave it in a relay or post office. Last time the logs showed they ensured I wasn't home in the minute they left the dispatch center 🤡
If you store compressed tarballs they won't be of any benefits.
If you copy whole directory as is, the filesystem-level compression and ability to deduplicate data (eg. with duperemove) are likely to save A LOT of storage (I'd bet on a 3 times reduction).
As I wasn't using my desktop much I sold it and the deck's desktop mode is my main computer now. In that perspective I really prefer bazzite's gnome and more permissive package management.
That's what saved me too but I'm still stuck with unpredictable crashes, 150GB of HDD / 8GB of RAM lost in the void and bullshit ads for copilot in the lock screen ...
My only criteria when switching email was to be able to use my own domain name. Now I almost don't receive anything on my gmail and I can transparently switch provider. I think it was a relevant move, I won't move to self hosting but I could ! :)
I think except for the camera phones have stopped being pragmatic for quite a while.
