Well, I have some good news for you!

Pour le remplacer, Pedro Vargas David, président d’Alpac, un mystérieux fonds d’investissement portugais actionnaire d’Euronews, mais aussi président du conseil d’administration de la chaîne, a choisi le journaliste allemand Claus Strunz, âgé de 58 ans. Après vingt-six ans passés au sein du groupe de médias Axel Springer – où M. Strunz a notamment été vice-président chargé de la télévision et de la vidéo, mais aussi rédacteur en chef du tabloïd Bild et de son édition dominicale Bild am Sonntag – celui-ci a été nommé directeur général et directeur de l’information d’Euronews.

Yep, on y est ! Remplacer un journaliste par le Cyril Hanouna allemand, qu'est-ce qui pourrais mal se passer ?

Oh wait.

Le Monde et ses partenaires [...] avaient révélé que des entités proches du premier ministre hongrois, Viktor Orban, avaient été, dans le plus grand secret, très largement impliquées dans l’acquisition de la chaîne d’information paneuropéenne.

Aussi, une présentation PowerPoint du fonds Szechenyi, classée « strictement confidentielle », mentionnait explicitement que l’un des objectifs du rachat d’Euronews, qualifié de « septième marque la plus influente sur les politiques de l’UE », est « d’atténuer les biais de gauche dans le journalisme ».

And so, the global election year continues u_u...

As a french man, I wholeheartedly approve of the bond villain style Macron picture they gave as headline. It's very appropriate for what he's doing nowadays (even though, in this precise article case, he really didn't do much tbh)

A collar or other physical appariments wouldn't stop you from abducting it either. Where I come from and (I assume) in many parts of the world, cats have an electronic chip in their neck with basic info about the owner and how to contact them, which would be discovered when you bring them to the vet.

But I think that's more of a cultural thing. Personally, I consider not letting your cat roam free in the neighbourhood (if you have the ability to let them) unjust and borderline animal abuse, close to how I would consider it if you kept your dog inside all the time.

Finally, taking a cat home out of, what, pettiness(?) sounds like a terrible idea, because beyond any notion of ethics, dealing witha cat you keep away from their territory and the people they know would be both a psycological and financial perspective. If you want to be hurtful to someone, there are easier and cheaper ways to do it than to abduct their pets.

So no, as a pet owner, abduction is really not anywhere near being a concern for me. Getting run over though? That IS a concern, particularly when cats panic. However, cats have far better hearring than we do and can hear cars from a mile away (esp when they're familiar with them).

Kind of clickbaity title. The media companies will still stay under Alex Springer, it's some advertisment divisions which are being sold. Nothing's changing here.

Huh. A tribune by Sophie Binet (general secretary of the CGT, one of the biggest French trade union, and major player in the june elections as well as the protests last year) in the Guardian?

Certainly wasn't on my bingo card today.

"De 1981 à 2010." C'est plus d'actualité non ? T'en as un plus récent ?

(En plus la grande hausse du deficit public à la fin correspond à la crise de 2008, ce qui n'est donc pas surprenant)

Thank you for the link! It helped putting things into proper nuance and context (indcluding throwing away that ridiculous notion that the 'Steam Store' and the 'Steam Gaming Platform' are two completly different things in different markets).

However, reading the whole thing, it sounds to me like while the court dismissed some of the claims (1 to 4 and 7 apparently), they agreed that Wolfire and the other plaitiffs had the right to 'plausibly allege unlawful conduct' about the 'Most-favored-nations restraints' (the part where Steam forces publishers to set prices on all stores without steam keys being involved) without mentioning anything more on the subject.

I'm not americain so I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but that means the ruling isn't over and it'll go into an appeal court, right?

Um, I've read the complaint from top to bottom and it claims way more than just 'Valve wouldn't give them keys to resell' if they're not at the same price as on steam. It also claims Valve puts a 'Price Veto' clause which allows them to delist games from Steam if the publisher gives bigger sales on other platforms, even if they do not using steam keys, which does sound super uncompetitive to me.

Although I'll agree the evidence listed in the complaint seem a bit on the light side. Do you know if the trial happened yet? And if so, do you know where I can find what resolution they reached?

Je suis loin d'être expert sur le sujet, mais de ce que j'avais lu précédement sur l'exit tax, c'etait surtout pour taxer les actions qui pourraient être revendu à l'étrangé à taux plus faible lorsqu'elles passent la frontière, plutôt que le foncier (qui lui ne peut pas vraiment bouger).

Sans doute que si cette loi venait à être rediscuté, il est fort probable que le sujet reviendra sur la table et sera probablement exclu de ce qui est décrit comme capital dans cette loi.

Like the others said, starting with physical drawing is probably the best way to go, as digital drawing is heavily based on technics made for using a pen and paper.

However, before you go and buy an expansive course that may not be right for you or an expansive professinal software suite that may be far above what you need, you should check out David Revoy's Krita tutorials, especially the ones for beginners in the categories that interest you (text and videos, greatly helped me getting started).
