  • "far-right" gains lots of seats during european deputy elections
  • people shocked
  • Macron somehow figures this means people have new priorities and dissolves the general assembly
  • new elections
  • expected a swing victory for "far-right"
  • they actually lose seats
  • left coalition comes out on top, but with relative majority of seats only (<50%)
  • unexpected but welcome turn of events
  • issue: since no one has absolute majority it's difficult to vote stuff
  • budget
  • Macron wants (NEEDS) to fix the debt issue
  • they'll cut expenses in public services, mass layoffs
  • left coalition wants to find the missing money not by cutting but by taxing places where money accumulated (i.e. The Rich™)
  • left lands amends in the budget plan
  • prime minister overrules the plan using "49.3" and approves the initial Fuck The People <3 Budget Plan™
  • this unlocks the prime minister's ejection seat button
  • prime minister is ejected
  • Macron needs to pick yet another prime minister, hopefully this time he won't put one of his cronies to overrule the elected majority's priorities

The simple argument as to why this wouldn't make conservatives happy is that they want as many babies as possible: preaching for big families, destroying contraception, abortion rights, etc. Birthrates were falling but the orphan-crushing machine requires new blood.

In that sense as weird as this 4B movement sound it's most definitely a big middle finger to that all.

Python with PyPI, C# with Nuget, Docker with Dockerhub, Java with Maven Central, hell even just regular Linux packages from dodgy repositories...

Supply chain attacks concern almost everything everyone everywhere.

You need to know where to look for said evidence, this is one new lead. Measure planet wobble for a few years and see if there's anything. Other experiments can and will be carried in parallel in the meantime.

Godot definitely has sponsors which while not directly being "customers" are still very important when it comes to financing the development of the engine

Having said that I want to believe current sponsors won't have issues with the Godot Foundation here

I mean some people are benefiting from it

You say that as if machines don't get dirty and still require a good amount of hygiene/cleaning to keep up

Don't get me wrong though because I am also in favor of automation only because I believe it will make some parts of work more bearable, minus the job displacement problem caused by our current economic model...
