I’m European and I have mixed feelings about the US.

There are some great sceneries, nice peoples and my accent does wonders there. I like its smaller towns and countryside.

But at the same I hate its cities. You can see the most widen gap between poverty and absurdly rich peoples in the same street. You can have a wonderful avenue and once in the back alley it looks like third world. I’ve never seen that many weird people than in the us. There’s too much violence and capitalism. And don’t get me on the fucking tipping culture.

Can you please tell me about that obsidian, google and cloud relationship ? Cause I don’t know anything about that and I’m curious.

I don’t use any cloud except my own, self hosting FTW!

I am not sure what you’re working on but from your answers I’ve read you seems to need access to a lot of information with a few keystrokes, like searching for a keyword or tag.

In my opinion you are using the wrong tool for that. Ditch the browser and learn about the Zettelkasten way of working. It is really powerful for plenty of applications like science, studies, dev, or even the way I use it, author repository of ideas/concepts/stuff I need when writing a book.

You can do that with several software but I like obsidian for that (and because of all its plugins you could probably find something to automatically copy webpage content)

On the downside side :

• You’ll have to learn Zettelkasten, Obsidian etc
• Obviously do the work of writing (or copy pasting) your vault.

But on the plus size :

• You’ll have all the information you need at your fingertips, searchable with keywords, tags, associations etc.
• Everything is basic text MD files so it will still be readable by any text editor or terminal in the next century.
• You can have images, run code, do some mathlib, jupyter etc inside.
• Text is light, easy to store, backup and retrieve.
• If you do good enough you can have a satisfying visual representation of your new brain, kinda mindmap (which is also possible)

I tried it for sleeping but ultimately I ended up preferring the Bose sleepbuds, or their new version now called Ozlosleep.

Probably one of the best investment in my life.

Also the fact that the shop where I’ve done the molded ear plugs keeps trying to call me for telemarketing twice a year does not help…

45km/h e-scooter ?? Those things with tiny wheels where you stand on a small platform ?

They must have a death wish for that. 45km/h on a bicycle (electric or road bike) is already a bit too fast in most situations.

Between 35 and 38km/h is my perfect spot for riding in cities and is the usual speed on flat of a good road bike (not rode by a professional, those guys are crazy fast).

I think there is a Northern Europe country (ofc it’s Northern Europe…) where the limit isn’t 25 and 45 but 38.

If we had one unique class at 38km/h the world would be a better place.

I’ve read it was just to shit with Microsoft by announcing that computers were tools of the past for gaming AND non gaming (and earn money).

Pushing Microsoft to invest billions to develop the Xbox on Windows (which ultimately did not run on windows) to shit with Sony, and earn money…

C’est actif normal pour Lemmy j’ai envie de dire. Petit mais ça avance.

Je te laisse explorer le fil local mais il y a plusieurs commu avec des gens assez actifs. C’est un peu un petit club de copain qui essaie de s’agrandir.

Je te conseille de regarder !forumlibre@jlai.lu ou voir l’activité de @Camus@lemmy.blahaj.zone (ou de ses nombreux alts, celui-ci est le plus récent je crois).

Tout à fait d’accord, c’est trompeur.

EN: Yep, it feels like a scam where you can find plenty of french speakers whereas it is not. If you’re coming from a search engine you can think that Reddit is a french social network, nothing is telling you that what you are reading was AI translated. It feels like a disguised shit with bleu blanc rouge colours.

Yup, and plenty of us moved here on an awesome url. Jlai.lu (literally “I’ve read it”)

So that’s why. I speak French and I’ve seen google results going to 100% French Reddit posts but somewhat strange.

Then by searching a little more you can find the original thread, in English.

The translations are ok-ish but feels a bit out of tone. Like translating internet “slang” in word to word French. And also seeing redditors writing too well. Something feels off.

TLDR: fuck you Spez, I am still looking for the OP language when I land onto your website.

The things I have seen or read on 4chan… I avoid that place since then.

Iceshrimp, a mastodon fork, and a little bit of matrix. I’d like to have a look at pixelfed one of those day just to see if it seems a successful alternative to youknowwhat.

I solved that problem by using a tiling window manager on every OS. Configure it to use your favorite shortcuts (from i3wm in this case), put super + spacebar as the whatever launcher you like and tadaaaa!

Everything feels more or less the same.

I do that since I became addicted to i3wm years ago. The worst part is just remembering the keywords to type in the launcher according to what OS you’re on.

Yeah it looked a lot like the first picture in the Wikipedia article.

I don’t remember the game but I couldn’t understand shit as well nor the graphic style.

An arcade center VR headset.

This was in the 90s or early 2000 when VR was non existent to consumers. During holidays visiting the US we ended up in this arcade center, probably in LA, where they had circled booths with an old FPS VR game that you play standing up. The headset looked like a helmet and was plugged from the top.

During my game, I turned on myself (360 no scope style) so much and always in the same direction that the cables got tangled and finally broke, probably with a little spark and some electrical sound. Game over.

As a French preteen, my English was bad and all I remember is the “shiiiiiiit” the worker said when he looked at the headset and cables.

Sorry buddy 🤷🏻‍♂️

What are they going to do, force us to have babies?

According to the Handmaid’s Tale (which seems to be their user manual) they will either kill us or send us to forced labor camps as we are useless to the holy demography.

The official Spotify Video Games Soundtrack as been my go to for commuting this past month(s).

Ah ok, mine have Switzerland and other non EU (but close) countries.

While it is historically true, carriers cannot charge foreign fees for EU members since some time now. They basically said to the carriers “now you stop being greedy fucks”.

Since then the European Union is just one large country phone fees wise. Even non EU member Switzerland is included on the EU plan and Switzerland includes Europe as if it is national call/text.

But it was too late indeed, people were already on WhatsApp to avoid sms.

No for watch dogs, not the third one at least but you can play the first and second they are cool.

But if you really want a story, the only answer is: A Plague Tales

You can play the second one (Requiem) without knowing the first game but you will be a little less “invested in the story”.

You can find the two Plague Tales for cheap and they will leave a mark on your soul. They are from a French studio and have that French touch. Be aware, these games will break you, you’ll cry for days and won’t be able to forget the music, characters and story for months.

Or else, Cyberpunk is awesome, specially with mods.
