Most young people do not pay income taxes currently, only the wealthy ones. So this reduction would only apply to already rich people.

You clearly do not know how things work in France. We have tons of things fiscally in place that make it so that in practice, you have to earn much more than that to truly pay taxes.

I don't have time currenty to enumerate all of that, but I'll come back to you later if I don't forget.

Well, my main issue with Twitter is that it is used for official communications, and sometimes is the only medium that is used. To me, official communications should go through platforms that aren't owned by a private company. This is where Mastodon/Firefish would be great alternatives, since governments or institutions could set up their own servers, while still being part of a wider network.

Yes, and among the mistakes, it will probably introduce some hard to find bugs/vulnerabilities.

I never really understood the need for such apps when mail clients such as Thunderbird exist.

I've never had AC at home, and that's also the case for most people I know. I live in the south of France.

Can you simply use a signal backup to move to Molly ? And can you go easily back to Signal, if required in the future ?

  • Cars, even if I use public transports and my bike as much as possible, I still have to use it sometimes
  • Supermarkets, I try to buy things elsewhere but it's not always possible...

Probably KeepassDX, Syncthing and Mull. Newpipe is also a good one, especially since it also supports PeerTube.

Edit: Oh and I forgot about Jerboa.

Meh, if your house is built correctly, it is not needed. And you also get used to it.

I just use a fan during the night, which does the job without having to use so much electricity.

jlai.lu because it allows to simply use the "Local" feed to browse most French related communities, while still being able to browse the rest of the Threadiverse using the "Subscribed" or "All" feeds.

To me, that's a huge improvement to Reddit, where it allows language-based and topic-based communities to have dedicated places which are easier to explore.

It would still be better to have multiple "large" servers, instead of only one or two, which is currently the case. I really don't think that it is a good thing to have a big difference between the biggest and the next biggest servers, as it effectively centralizes the content around the biggest instance.

I however agree that it doesn't make sense to have tons of tiny instances.

Yes, that is the best way. Liberapay is also great as it doesn't take any commission itself (although if you actually use liberapay frequently, it would be a good idea to also donate to them!).

One way to deal with this issue in Mastodon is to follow hashtags instead. Personally, it is also not for me, but it is still better than following individuals.

During rush hour, it will definitely have an impact on the flow of traffic with most roundabouts, which are usually not very big (in France anyway).

TheLinuxExperiment has a good video about it: https://tilvids.com/w/3RjSzdS9jjK2y1nP3M6oJD

You can force a video to appear in Lemmy by copying the original peertube URL of the video into lemmy's search. It will take 2-3 seconds to import it and show up in the search results.

I really miss these days where games were more than just the game itself.

I also feel that newer games only focus on the competitive aspect.

I feel like it's more of a client issue than a Lemmy issue. We could imagine having clients that correctly support crossposting by having tabs for each comment section.

Pixelfed can support videos, but it has some restrictions which doesn't make it very accessible.

I use the FR-AZERTY layout. You honestly get used to the layout you have to work with.

I fully agree with you. I feel like 99% of open world games sacrificed the story and gameplay in the process.

To me, the Local feed is one of the biggest strengths of Lemmy. It allows having in the same platform a community/instance based feed (for example, Local in jlai.lu allows you to find most of the French activity in Lemmy), and at the same time, I can use "Subscribed" and/or "All" feeds to get a broader view of the Fediverse.

Without the "Local" view, Lemmy would just feel like another Reddit clone to me, where French communities would just be flooded by English-speaking communities. On Reddit, the French community actually had to create a subreddit dedicated to listing all French subreddits, just because the discoverability of non-English-speaking subreddits is just awful by default on Reddit.

And at the same time, I don't see the need for "curation algorithms". The "Subscribed" feed already fills this use case for me.

I used to play Europa Universalis 4 or Cities: Skylines for this purpose.

Oh that's nice to know !

France already does DNS blocking. It honestly has near to no impact, since targeted websites (usually digital piracy related stuff) just change the domain.

Landstalker on Megadrive/Genesis. It's one of my favourite childhood games. I actually want to go play it again now that I'm thinking about it again.

Never ate any, and I don't know of any restaurant close by that prepares them.

I don't use it much, but I do appreciate the one I have on my phone, since I don't always have my BT earbuds with me. Whereas I usually always have some cheap wired earbuds somewhere with me.

Yes, I feel like at least 75% of games that are Open Word would be better if they weren't.

Same here, I only post on jlai.lu and other french communities for now.

We need to have an active French community :-D

By the way, "old" is simply based on mlmym.org, which you can use with other instances than lemmy.world, if wanted.

I've not done this for a very long time, but I used to eat them like that aswell

I agree, I feel like most of the "feed" issues are simply because users are in big instances where the "Local" feed indeed becomes meaningless.

Something that would however be cool would be a way to view the Local feed from another instance, without having to actually go to the other instance.

Honest question but do you really want to see content that is in languages that you don't understand ?

I still agree that the UI needs to be clearer though.

The instance works really well :)

Same here. I used to heavily use emacs, but when I changed job, it was much easier to simply use vscode instead of making emacs work properly in the new work environment.

Maybe if I find some time, I may go back to emacs since I miss a few features from it.

Poorly advertised is an understatement, I never heard about this within Reddit xD I always thought that it was a third-party thing.

It is indeed similar to the "Local" feed from Lemmy then. However, it doesn't have the "I'm part of a common family" feeling that I see in an instance like jlai.lu where we know that all users from the instance see the same content.

But TIL, thank you :)
