hehehe

Oh bah pourquoi pas ! Mais je lurkerai dans l’ombre :D

Political maps are a terrible tool for visualizing cultural / linguistic practices (and on this one, colonization didn’t make it even worse). Just gotta roll with it and enjoy the weird assumptions :)

I prefer to support smaller instances, but don’t have a problem with lemmy.ml specifically (whereas I do sometimes go out of my way to avoid lemmy.world)

I believe someone had asked for it and they said it was nearly impossible. You’d be able to do it in a single given app maybe, but the « download an episode by default » system, the (wonderful) variety of podcasting apps, and the variety of podcast ad services all make it nearly impossible. It’s somewhere in the issues!

This extension really changed my life, or at least my fraught relationship with YouTube!

Volleyball was really fun!

Yes, it does. It will keep suffering from the same issues as long as it encourages microblogging, and there are public upvotes and likes, and you can post links on Lemmy with a single-sentence summary that people can react to without reading the link. The Fediverse social media is built on the exact same premises as for-profit social media.

What has been done on the Fediverse is taking these systems and making them less addictive. Basically, they have all the problems of for-profit social media, but for-profit social media snowballs these problems and puts them at the core of their business model. The issue without the several layers of « making it worse because money » is not nearly as bad. But I do believe it’s a « lesser evil » thing, at least for our brains and ability to interact with people.

I love Air and Phoenix but was thinking « oh no our stars are a bit old, are we going to look outdated? », and then the Americans sent Tom Cruise and RHCP and I felt much better.

Oh, I didn’t know, thanks very much for the correction!

I don’t know about the author, but I’m on Linux and Android and the apps I see on Notion Calendar are for Windows and Mac for desktop and for iOS on phone.

I’ve tried the web client a bit when it came out but it just didn’t really click for me (as in, I didn’t see how it would be better than any email client that has an integrated calendar). Also, calendar web clients just don’t answer the issue, in my opinion. And regular Notion is slow and clunky in my experience, so I haven’t given them the benefit of the doubt on the Calendar part of their tooling. :)

Depression can worsen or mimic ADHD symptoms and it’s common to tackle that first. The ADHD diagnosis is irrelevant, what matters is that your life gets better. :)

I got one! It was delicious!

Lake Bled was really beautiful, I really liked it! My heart went to Bohinj though :D

It’s a book, so link to the publisher: https://www.biblioasis.com/shop/new-releases/on-community/

Pourquoi tu postes des memes en anglais dans la commu francophone Transgenre plutôt que dans les commus anglophones ? Je te vois régulièrement faire ça et j’avoue que je comprends pas du tout l’intérêt

Countries in the Americas? Not sure what you don’t understand.

Paris doesn’t need new housing, it just needs to keep upgrading its existing apartments :)

Otherwise yes sounds right.

They correspond to the larger eras in French economy.

• Industrial revolution
• Entre-deux-guerres, a period of strong urbanization and a huge push towards social housing. I suppose they included WW2 cause nothing was built there anyway.
• 1946 to 1970 is “les trente glorieuses”, the time of rebuilding everything, which means everyone had a job and could afford a house or apartment.
• The oil crash in 1973 ushered in a more modern era, usually more left-wing after May 68 and with the election of Mitterrand in 1982.
• The 1990 one is around when we elected a right-wing president and the public policies vastly changed.
• 2005-2006 was starting to get tough because of oil again, I believe. It is also around the beginning of the US subprime crisis, of which the consequences affected us all too.

The book is called Free, I’m not trying to promote anything and really have nothing to gain. I’m just sharing my book reviews and felt like this might be good to share with people interested in European countries and cultures :)

yes I am indeed Bitch
