They plan to do it. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2023/09/05/uniform-or-standard-outfit-details-of-experiment-in-french-schools-to-be-unveiled-in-the-fall_6124790_7.html

So... I believe I'm old now...

*insert "I'm in this meme and I don't like it" picture.

Starfield works on linux since day one... If you have an AMD graphic card. I've seen that it's more complicated on Nvidia.

"We can't complain."

"Really, that's great. "

"No, we seriously can't !"

I put in my previous message one of the most important reason, if not the most important, why it is difficult to have good data about the mask efficiency. Here it is again : Relatively low numbers of people followed the guidance about wearing masks or about hand hygiene, which may have affected the results of the studies. If you can not trust the people you use as data, you can not trust your results, and for something as trivial as wearing a mask, we have seen that people cannot be trusted... So, how can you produce proof that masks work ?

Yes surgical masks are effective. Not 100%, but they have a good efficiency to prevent people to spread the desease. They stop the biggest dropplets when you speak or cought, no debate. They also stop smaller particles because of the electrostatic effects and the diffusion effects. Also, the mask mesh doesn't look like a football net. It's more like a dense forest. Adding to that the fact than small particles don't move in straight lines ( brownian movement ), it makes the surgical masks have a non neglectible efficency.

The main reasons surgical masks are recommended above the others (n95/p2),are that other masks are more disturbing to wear and they cost more than surgical masks.

"Our confidence in these results is generally low to moderate for the subjective outcomes related to respiratory illness, but moderate for the more precisely defined laboratory-confirmed respiratory virus infection, related to masks and N95/P2 respirators. The results might change when further evidence becomes available. Relatively low numbers of people followed the guidance about wearing masks or about hand hygiene, which may have affected the results of the studies. "

Yeah... They are not really confident about their results... You can find studies that show effectiveness of the mask in a few clics : https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/egcenter-discussion-paper-series/1086/

Soooo, I will continue to think that the mask is effective against viruses spreading by air. Knowing that n95/P2 masks protect mostly the person who wear them and surgical masks protect mostly people from the wearer.

It's complicated to prove you that my friend told me this, it was an oral conversion with no recording, but I can swear we talked a bit about it.

It was more about the applications compiled by garuda than the system itself. He told me they were communicating with Google and other stuff a lot.

I didn't try it by myself, (and I don't have the time to install a distribution just to check that). It might be for update, it might be nothing. That's why I asked if he was using Garuda and that it was something he might want to check... Or not.

I hope you didn't need to bleach your eyes after reading my post. I have corrected the error and even added a missing word in the last sentence.

Are you using garuda ?

A friend of mine tried it and found garuda's tool really useful, but while setting his firewall, he realised that garuda send lots of data. It made him uninstall it immediatly.

If it's a concern for you, you might want to check that.

I had the same issue than you with my internet browser and VLC (or other media players). I thought it was due to missing codecs. But even after reinstalling all of them, I got lags on video.

Now, i use flatpak for my internet browser and for VLC, everything works just fine.

There are ISO of debian with calamares installer available on debian website. The real difficulty is to find them.

En espérant que d'autres villes prennent exemples sur Lyon. C'est effarant que ce type de panneau publicitaire soit encore autorisé...

I did that a few months ago, from a 3060ti to a 6700xt. Best decision since I decided to erase my windows partition.

I believe that in addition, Nvidia support for wayland was late compare to AMD.

I love dragonarte comics.
