I wouldn't be surprised those rioters to be right wing activist trying to amplify unrest to make her go up in the pools. Or simply russian agents trying to do the same. Russia would win greatly as both extremes (right and left) agree that France should stop supporting Ukraine.

    They DON'T have the product, but they do have secured the parts and manufacture, so it gets slowly built, after which small batches are dispached around the world, before getting assigned to someone in the queue to be bought (if he still wish to).

    For the waitlist, they don't have secured enough parts to buy a chunk of manufacturing time to assemble them. From the look of it they decided to buy additional manufacturing time chunks in 2028, but don't know yet when they will be, so wait & see.

    Read again. The distinction is very clearly stated.

    Reservation queue : There is a product for you in the current batch, just wait for it to be available before purchasing it.

    Waitlist : There wasn't enough products in this batch to put you in the queue, but if someone in the queue decide not to buy, his product will be assigned to someone else, and a spot will be freed in the reservation queue, allowing someone (probably randomly chosen in the waitlist) to join the queue.

    Em-dashes may simply be explained by the use of lexical correction tools, which also loves weird typographic like thoses.

    Same for weird phrasing, may be the result of anti-repetition rules.

    I personally uses Grammalecte, which is specifically tailored for the French language, and when I ask it to review a text, he often does those corrections if I do not first disable those rules.

    And that tools do not uses IA, it is 100% programmatic.

    Hi there.

    You probably expect some sort of brigading of some sort, or some ironic post to spite you or your values, but this is not. I don't share the provocations and general negativity that this new instance seems to have attracted.

    I, for change, welcome you to the fediverse, in hope, maybe naive, that sharing a common ground would allow both of our community nembers to get out of our respective echo chambers and try to find our common values and get a better understanding of each other, rather than locking ourselves into our dogmas and differences.

    Unfortunately, not everyone will share this goodwill, especially on a world as fractured as our is now, so I'll add a "good luck" handling all the stuff that are unfortunately coming your way, and hope you will not take it too badly.

    We, on the left, have our share of tankies and idiots, and that's not going to change any time soon, but at least there are others that want to mend that broken world, even if it takes time.

    Be well, stay kind, and good luck

    A (French) leftist.

    Hi friends,

    There was many threads lately on that topic, and despite attempts at making all those threads follow the community rules, looks like it will be better to make a megathread in order to avoid drowning other topics under the constant updates about this.

    You find bellow multiple sections, containing as much info as possible on every aspect of this topic, including the latest news (as well as older ones), and how to participate in fighting it (if you wish to).

    The moderation, even if we do have our own personal opinion on the topic, will try to stay as neutral as possible, which mean all opinion (for or against) are welcome, as long as it respect the rules, especially rule 2.

    As a special exception to rule 4, memes are welcome in the comment section, as I saw some good ones in various other topics, as soon as they respect rule 2.
