I'm currently testing https://piefed.social/u/Libb all my new participation will be posted there, at least for the time being.

A 50-something French dude that's old enough to think blogs are still cool, if not cooler than ever. Also, I like to write and to sketch.https://thefoolwithapen.com/

  • Merci :)

    Je me dis aussi que ça pourrait le faire, mais aussi que je suis pas sûr qu'ils tiennent la route ou plutôt disons qu'ils soient trop optimisés pour des musiques, heu, différentes (plus jeunes) que ce que j'écoute habituellement.

    Sinon, en règle générale j'évite de faire vibrer les murs pour pas faire chier les voisins... mais je peux envisager de faire une exception pour Beethoven, sachant que ça devrait être inscrit dans la Constituion que, non, Ludwig von c’est jamais considéré du tapage :p

  • Comme j'ai répondu àl'instant dans un autre commentaire, je suis parti sur les Presonus mais si je me rends compet que j'ai pas l'usage d'une telel qualité (ou qu'ils sont vraiment plsu encombrants que ce que je pense), les Creative sont bien placés dans ma liste, merci pour ton retour :)

  • Merci. Je les avais remarqués, mais j'avoue que je m'inquiète qu'ils distordent un peu trop la musique et manquent un peu de force. Pas que j'écoute la musique fort (c'est pour poser sur mon bureau, pas besoin que ça hurle ;)

  • Non, je ne les ai pas considérés. Enfin, si mais vu qu'ils n'étaient plsu listés en neuf... C'est clair que question encombrement ils sont pas mal du tout. Je suis allé voir surleboncoin, y a pas mal d'offres mais pour de l'occasion je préférerai les trouver moins cher. Merci ;)

  • Merci beaucoup pour tes conseils. Je me suis décidé pour les Presonus (achetés chez Thommann, où je suis déjà client: j'aime bien leur service et, en bonus, c'est pas Amazon ;)).

    PS: je suis allé voir les Genelec, c'est pas donné et je ne pense pas avoir besoin de ce genre de qualité. Je vais tester les Presonus. Si je réalise que même ça c'est trop... qualitatif pour mon modeste usage, je me rabattrais sur quelque chose d'autre et si possible encore un peu moins gros volumineux.

  • Perso, je vote pour

    Je n’utilise pas WhatsApp

    S'ils veulent discuter des raisons de ton choix, tu n'as pas fermé la porte et tu pourras alors le leur expliquer. S'ils s'en foutent et veulent juste se dire que t'es un zarbi, ils n'ont pas besoin d'en savoir plus... et de toute façon, j'en ai peur, aucune de tex explications ne réussira à les persuader que tu n'es pas zarbi ;)

  • J'avais vu l'info sur la chaine de Louis Rossman. Ma Brother ne se mettant pas à jour toute seule, je n'ai pas vu de raison de m'iqnuiéter à court terme.

    Par contre, je me suis dit que ce serait peut-être bien la dernière imprimante que j'achèterais, parce si que Brother se décidait à vraiment sauter le pas il ne resterait plus personne (plus personne de facilement accessible) chez qui acheter une imprimante qui n'essaye d'entuber son "propriétaire".

  • Passé sur Waterfox qui est donc en phase de test pour quelques semaines. Pour l'instant, c'est plutôt très bien. Edit: mais ça me fait un petit quelque chose, j'ai toujours utilisé FF et ça remonte jusqu'à l'époque de son lointain ancêtre Mosaic ;)

    J'ai toujours Vivaldi (et Brave) côté Chromium, mais le Web sans le véritable uBO pour filtrer toutes leurs cochonneries, je peux/veux juste pas ;)

  • See my answer to your other comment below ;)

  • Oh, I did not get that. That's an interesting idea. Would still need to solve the 'where' do I post (which for many seems to also mean 'to what Instance do I belong'), and then how do one moderate content from various communities, from posters that may or may not adhere to one's own rules. It won't be obvious but I would be more than willing to see something like being experimented, even if it's to decide it's too complex, it seems worth at least an attempt, imho.

  • But how do you prevent this from happening if the content is centralized?

    I have no idea and like (I think) I said, I'm not even sure that's an option we should consider. It's just it feels likes there is this path circling back to centralization and that makes me wonder.

    Once we reach a big enough population (not a given, Discuit is still doing 210 weekly active users) , a company comes in, makes the owners an offer they can’t refuse, and they do what you criticize in your previous comment

    That's why I (want to) believe in the fediverse. If something like that were to happen and that's also why I'm not sure centralization is a solution.

  • Well, merging communities means trying to reduce the number of alternative communities on the same topic, or did I miss something?

    But, like I said, I'm not saying it is not doable. I'm only sharing how I felt reading the OP post.

  • So… Reddit?

    I don't know, I just shared agut feeling while reading the OP. And I'm not saying it's what we should thrive for, just sharing that gut feeling about what, like I said, I consider a critical issue on Lemmy.

    With the cancelled third-party apps, the visible ads, the ads hiding as posts, the powertripping mods (but unpaid as well), the algorithm trying to get the most “engagement” by showing hateful content?

    That's a whole other discussion imho. But if you want to discuss about that:

    • I only talked about a centralized system (aka, a unified one) and, once again, I did not say it was the solution only that it felt like that while I was reading the post. As far as I know, centralization does not imply the obligation to rely on algorithm (and ads, paywalls, or nothing dirty like that).
    • As far as mods abusing their power is an issue (it is), I think we do have a few on Lemmy too. Isn't there a community dedicated to that issue?
    • Ditto for the 'hateful content' (and I would add the extremely low effort posts too), it was a pain on Reddit, it's a pain on Lemmy too there is just of it on Lemmy because there are less of us posting ;)I consider the Reddit default home page an insult to any half-working brain but I would not be much more sympathetic to Lemmy's default feed either. I remember we briefly discussed that already: I'd rather see an empty feed by default, with only a short-ish selection of very broad categories the user would pick from to start seeing content that they're interested in. And only that content, not all the crap. They would then be able to start fine tuning their selection. Something like that.
    • Reducing Reddit to what you listed here would be... unfair to the great content and great discussion one can easily find over there. As an ex-Reddit user, after an adaptation time (learning how to get rid of the default crap feed and how to remove the crap ads, learning what subs were better ignored) I had a great time using Reddit (and that is despite its poor UI). I did not quit using it because of the flow of hate or the flow of moronic content, nor because of abusive mods (quite the opposite, I appreciated their work... thx to fine selection of the few subs I was subscribed to). I did not quit reddit for that, no more than I would quit Lemmy for those flaws either. I left because I hated how Reddit, the corporation, took hold of our content and started restricting access to our content in order to negotiate deals with partners. And started talking about paywalling some of it. I briefly explained it as a last post on my Reddit profile and I close the door behind me. But I do miss those interesting discussions I had, and I miss a few subs too (r/Simpleliving, would be the first one I would mention).If I was not admitting I miss that I would be a liar.
    • I also find it difficult to motivate/encourage more people to join and participate here on Lemmy because I'm myself constantly faced with the 'messy' aspects of Lemmy. I'm stubborn and I decided I could live with them (happily) but I also know many people are not ok with that and it's unlikely they ever will.

    Hence me agreeing with the OP: Lemmy being as fragmented as it is is a critical issue.Hence, the second part of my comment: it feels to me that the only easy/obvious solution is to rely on a centralized system. I'm not saying it's what should be done (I would not be part of the fediverse if I had no desire to see an alternative to that centralization). I may be wrong in that, most probably I'm (I have no technical expertise) but it still is what I felt while reading the post. Nothing more.

    And for the rest, let the downvoters enjoy their very own moment of power ;)

  • I quite agree with the issue described and I 100% agree it's a critical one but, because none of the proposed solution seem to be ideal, I'm also wondering if this doesn't end up saying the right model, right in the sense that it will work with/feel much more simpler to most users, is a centralized system and not a federated one?

    • I recently started using codeberg.org for the small (non code-related) stuff I share, in case anyone would be interested.
    • For all my personal stuff (still not code related as it's prose writing, for the most part) I pay for a host git install. I think I could use a GUI/pretty webpage if i really wanted to, but the command line/ssh access works so well I never asked if I could have a gui. And I'm not even a geek :p
  • However, there’s lots of assholes who are negative towards other AI Developers because they’re envious because they suck.

    You seem to be on a great starting point here.May I ask your opinion on why you think some people don't like bananas? Is it because these people suck or are envious (of the much better people that do like bananas, I suppose), or may we propose the daring idea that they simply don't like the taste of a banana? Asking for a friend that doesn't like bananas and is not even ashamed of admitting it. He doesn't like AI much either, I must say.

  • Great, subscribed!BTW, you may want to check our journaling community at !journaling@sh.itjust.works ;) edit: and check the links I added in the sidebar to find other interesting communities.

  • on dit chocolatine, soit dit en passant

    "Mmmpf", dis-je en mordant une nouvelle fois à pleines dents dans cette pâtisserie encore toute croustillante qui vient de chez notre boulanger au coin de la rue qui, s'il ne se trouve pas être un dieu (sachons raison garder, comme disait l'autre) se trouve quand même être un sacré champion dans son domaine. "Punaise, c’est dingue comment il est bon son pain au chocolat."

    Mic drop — c’est comme ça que disent les jeunes, n’est-ce pas ? :p

  • Je ne sais pas si je suis un des 'vous' auquel tu t'adressais mais je vis pas loin de la grosse bistouquette en métal qui fait la fierté d'une certaine ville de France — et apparemment aussi l'envie du monde entier, vu le flot de touristes qui viennent la mater chaque année ;)

  • Le support ne m’a pas encore répondu, je les ai contacté il y a 3 semaines.

    Si j'étais toi, je les relancerais gentiment car il me semble que tu es effectivement censé avoir accès à ces 10 emails ;)
