Remarque(s) concernant fr.sott.net

[Adaryn]

I saw two comments this morning, I was waiting to see what to do. Now no comments. Maybe someone else from the French team erased them?

Yes, someone else did it

The is no comment under the article you linked to, Bastian. Could you provide the proper link, please?

When I looked yesterday, the comment was not there. Probably it has been deleted by an editor.

But I went this morning and the comment was there. Maybe a question of hours? Here was the morning, in your country the night? Strange.

Hello.
I'd like to highlight this general comment on an article :

Désolé pour le HS mais je voulais vous signaler que votre formulaire de contact ne fonctionne pas. Je voulais vous demander aussi si vous avez un flux RSS fonctionnel ou si vous l'avez supprimé. Merci.

Hello.
I'd like to highlight this general comment on an article :

The answers are:

The contact form works fine for me, both logged in and not, in English and French. Might be privacy-saving features of some modern browsers that block the stuff that makes either reCAPTCHA or the contact form JavaScript work.

The RSS feeds are still there (there's a blue RSS button at the top of every page on SOTT that opens a pull-down menu listing all the feeds), but neither Firefox nor Chrome have a feed reader built in anymore. So, if you want to view the RSS feeds in your browser, you need to add an RSS feed reader add-on to the browser. Then you'll see the orange RSS button in the address bar of the browser, which will show the RSS feeds.

Hello.
(French only.)
S'il y a bien qqch que je ne me serais jamais attendu à lire sur SOTT, c'est ce commentaire (tiré de cet article) de l'éditeur :

Commentaire : On arrive même à apprendre des choses dans Gala !

Ça m'a tué !
Décidément, cette crise du Covid-19 aura vraiment bouleversé le monde, et même SOTT !

As I cannot remember where I should post this, I do it here :
About this article :

SCOOP : La porte parole de LaREM avoue en direct qu'elle n'a pas pris la soupe ?! -- Sott.net

Maud Bregeon, porte parole du parti d'Emmanuel Macron a fait une déclaration stupéfiante le 21 Novembre sur LCI : "Il y a encore des gens comme vous et moi qui n'ont pas reçu une seule dose !"

fr.sott.net

I think that both the video editor and the SOTT editor commenting the video misunderstood what she said (in French : ont fait un contre-sens).
« Il y a encore des gens, comme vous et moi, qui n'ont pas reçu une seule dose ! »
may mean : there exists some "normal" people, (adults, having a job and a social life, etc.) who have not yet received a single dose.
and not : some people, including you an me, have not yet received a single dose.

It may also be an example of a cognitive bias : the confirmation bias.
