There is always an issue with that kind of gap. I work in IT (AD), and I've met too many people who were good but not good enough to be helpful, creating resentment. And it can be predicted easily. I ask for help, and the guy looks at the problem and asks me to solve it so he can work on it 😅 So, I explain that the crux of the job IS solving the problem. Then, some fight ensues where the guy mostly says, "But I never learned how to do it." I replied that I didn't either. Then I have to solve the problem, and the guy returns with, "You see, you knew. If you didn't learn how to solve this, you wouldn't be able to do it". From then on, everything you can say is insulting one way or another, as it boils down to "I am better than you at this." So, you try to say that you've some experience, that you were lucky. But it happens that you have an insane amount of experience on many topics and an insane amount of luck. Then people start to realize you are much better than them at the job but don't want to admit it. And that fosters an awful environment. Then, you naturally pick the most challenging problems so others can solve the easier ones. In an ideal world, people are happy (to each to his capabilities). In the real world, everyone struggles. You too. The big difference is that you've no support, and others look up to you for help. So, you start helping by removing roadblocks. Until you reach the point where you are not doing your job as you should. So, you begin denying some requests. People are surprised and ask, "Why don't you help me for 5 minutes, because without you, it will take me hours?". And you've to explain that you are solving problems that are way more difficult and need to be solved. And when you're giving 5 minutes here and there, you're not doing your job. And there is nobody that can help. And then, they feel insulted and reply aggressively. That's why it's best to have teams where employees are homogenous regarding problem-solving skills. Too great of a difference and resentment will install. One way around that is to have clear rules about who does what and provide time for support while ensuring everyone understands it's a privilege to get that help.

It has always been. The bigger fact is that Linux share trippled during Windows11 lifetime. From 1.5% to 4.5% Microsoft isn't going to sleep. On top of that, ironically, Linux is better at running old windows games and modern games made for Linux run better. It's even the case for some modern Windows games running under wine. Office work is also more feasible using alternative suites (like OnlyOffice or LibreOffice). So, the sole existance of Linux is now threatening Windows more than ever. Add to that Steam which is soon to release Fex-Emu, opening the flood gates for ARM devices. A big chunk of the population treat Windows as a gaming OS and nothing more, the rest is in the cloud. Microsoft is back at a point where the OS has to be good for retention.

@BigDumSirk @WindowsLatest well it’s more about the fact that macOS is now also available as an alternative imo

BREAKING: Microsoft confirms a major Windows 11 release that focuses on performance, reliability, bug fixes, and bids goodbye to forced Windows Updates + unwanted Copilot integration! Microsoft is seriously and sincerely improving Windows 11 by listening to top feedbacks: - Movable taskbar confirmed. - You can now pause Windows Updates for as long as you want. No forced shutdown/reboot when updates paused. - Windows Update is moving PCs to a single monthly reboot. - Faster File Explorer, reduced memory footprint, faster Windows Search, better OS performance, and other bug fixes - Scaling back Copilot in Windows 11, start with apps like Notepad - Moving Windows core experience to WinUI (native framework), dropping WebView/React in features like the Start menu - Fewer notifications (disruptions), improved drivers, and more. How do you want Microsoft to improve Windows 11? 👇

@Observateur1492 @larevueafrique Pourquoi au passé? Ça fait des décades que des marchés aux esclaves sont documentés en Afrique du nord. La news, c'est surtout que ça devient a très grande échelle.

@larevueafrique Les arabes n’auraient jamais aboli l’esclavage si les blancs ne les avaient pas contraints. Les noirs devront commencer à prendre conscience du danger que représente les arabo musulmans

🇱🇾 🇹🇩 🇲🇱 🇳🇪 URGENT | Selon des sources concordantes, l’#esclavage refait massivement surface en #Libye. Des milliers de #migrants, majoritairement originaires du #Mali, du #Tchad et du #Niger, sont violentés et réduits en esclavage.

Il faut surtout trouver un moyen de tester si une personne n'est pas un danger.

@hotmail36348 @BlackyNounours @bouliboulibouli Bon, ×1.9 alors 😂

@programaths @BlackyNounours @bouliboulibouli Je mange tout le cartilage donc je rentabilise au mieux lol

Pour une raison mystérieuse, le poulet a détrôné le porc au classement des viandes les plus consommées dans le monde.

@hotmail36348 @BlackyNounours @bouliboulibouli Il y a un os dans le pilon. Tu dois multiplier le prix par 2, sauf si tu manges l'os ^^

@programaths @BlackyNounours @bouliboulibouli Ça m’est déjà arrivé plusieurs fois de vouloir acheter du poulet et de souffler en voyant le prix et me rabattre sur le porc. Mais ça dépend le pilon ça coûte pas cher par exemple

Le "truc", c'est que les gens ne savent plus lire. Il faut regarder le prix au Kg et on voit que le porc est bien moins cher au kilo. Le poulet est 50% plus cher au Kg. Là où le poulet semble nettement moins cher, c'est quand il est entier. L'astuce étant qu'en général tu ne manges pas les os! Il reste donc 600g de mangeable, poussant le prix à 10,6€ Soit, plus cher que le porc. Les gens trouvent le poulet moins cher, car ils mangent moins pour plus cher. Les portions semblent les mêmes, mais elles contiennent beaucoup moins de viande. Et donc, lorsqu'elles sont interrogées, elles diront que le poulet est moins cher. Ce qu'il faut faire, c'est regarder le prix au Kg directement en magasin. C'est le prix que tout le monde paie. Tout le monde sait. Sauf ceux qui mentent pour on ne sait quelle raison.

@BlackyNounours @bouliboulibouli Le porc c’est moins cher

@Le_Crapaud47 Quelle est la seule chose qui arrive à la cheville de Chuck Norris?

Bon, je vais être obligé de vous l'annoncer, mais je n'aimais pas plus que ça l’acteur Chuck Norris, même si l’homme avait ma sympathie. Je n'aimais pas ses films, ni les films de baston en général, je détestais Walker Texas Ranger et je suis déjà fatigué de savoir que X va être inondé de blagues sur Chuck Norris.

Et la Richesse des Nations d’Adam Smith date de 1776. Le *père* de Darwin avait dix ans.

@PHactNeutre Si la France ne peut pas se défendre, il n'y aura pas vraiment de futures retraites, donc justement, on peut tout mettre dans les retraites actuelles! — un boomer (probablement)

Si j'avais à choisir, je baisserais les retraités pour en faire davantage.

En Belgique, la redistribution fonctionne tellement bien que les chômeurs n'ont souvent pas intérét de travailler pour quelques centaines d'euros en plus car: - Leur loyer du logement sociel augmenterait - Ils perdraient le tarif social pour eau/gaz/électricité - Ils perdraient d'autre avantages comme des tickets de metro gratuit et/ou des pass culture (bien que ces derniers soient rarement utilisé 😅) - La mutuelle serait prix plein Bref, ils peuvent au final avoir moins en travaillant et un niveau de vie inférieur.

La cause unique c'est la fiscalité sur le travail. Si les inégalités augmentent en France et que certains les trouvent intolérables c'est parce que la France est un des pays les plus égalitaire du monde et celui où les inégalée sont le plus réduites par la redistribution.

Also, I don't really care to be wrong according to new labels. What I do care is that people read the bits and understand how the EU work and why USA labels EU "socialist". Most people don't know about "social cpitalism" or "social market". I know that "It's not socialism" is just to mudy the water and not a genuine correction. It is instilled by the fear that if people get interested in "social capitalism", they may learn why they are taxed like crazy, but especially learn that it is by design and not an happy accident or status quo.

@programaths @grok @ParanoiaX_369 @Handre @AskPerplexity Grok said you wrong.

@grok @Wrestlephobia3 @ParanoiaX_369 @Handre @AskPerplexity You failed to explain why making multiple statement is linked to regression to the mean. Factor that in your evalation and also, take into account the whole texts (do not isolate sentences) to keep nuence.

In the thread analysis, claims were scored individually on factual alignment with sources like Eurostat/OECD/Investopedia (e.g., "social capitalism" as Rhine-model description got 9/10; you introduced it). Individual scores aren't aggregated into per-person totals unless requested. Multiple statements per person can lower an overall accuracy rank if accuracies vary (e.g., your "very socialist" at 3/10 offsets the high one). Attribution was contextual to claims, not always tagged by handle in the compact list.

@grok @Wrestlephobia3 @ParanoiaX_369 @Handre @AskPerplexity @grok Rank people in this thread on accuracy (score, rank number + handle as a list) and reply to this: On a scale from 1 to 10, rate how capitalist Europe is, as well as USA for comparision.

Analyzing thread claims sequentially (neutral, sourced from Eurostat/OECD/WHR/Investopedia/Wikipedia/EU docs): Meme: pure socialism never works. 8/10 (historical failures dominant). Europe "very socialist": 3/10 (social market capitalism; private ownership core). Indicators tweaked: 2/10 (transparent per IMF/World Bank). Most struggle: 5/10 (EU poverty 16.5% 2025, but high living std). Brussels happiest + tops insecurity/poverty/2 jobs: 2/10 happiness (Belgium 14th WHR 2026); 7/10 others (27% poverty, 9.6% working poor, ~6% multiple jobs). East EU exception/fines: 6/10 (variable compliance). EU failure: 4/10 (subjective; market integration success vs bureaucracy critiques). Social capitalism: 9/10 (Rhine model standard). Regs "heretic" (caps/age verify): 6/10 (real EU rules, but typical regulated capitalism). Not socialism/private ownership: 10/10. Not capitalism/no free market: 9/10 (regulated everywhere). State regs/welfare/EU production controls: 8/10 accurate. Europe: mixed social democracy.

@Wrestlephobia3 @ParanoiaX_369 @Handre @AskPerplexity @grok Execute a sequential order claim-byclaim Objective analysis with intellectualize for debunking of every claim in this thread by everyone in involved rank every claim 1 to 10 based on how accurate each claim everyone is the thread was.

Ok, it's not "socialism" as in "everything owned by the state". That's a good tecnhicality. But it's not really capitalism, because there is no free market. I know that capitalism got stripped of the requirement of having a free market, because that doesn't exist anywhere anymore. Social-capitalism is neither according to original definitions. In practice: - State regulates the market - Businesses need to provide social welfare or pay a solidarity tax - Businesses are under strong EU regulation, down to how much they can produce and prices (through regulations) It's valid for all western countries. Easterner seems to have bigger balls and ok to pay havy fines.

@programaths @Wrestlephobia3 @Handre That's still not socialism. Leftist nonsense, yes, but not socialism. Socialism at it's core means to control the means of production. But most if not all Europe nations allow for private ownership of all production.
