  • Thanks for explaining. I never understood the American outrage about cultural appropriation but it's just about respecting sacred symbols from other cultures? Sounds about right, please feel free to dress as a Frenchman with beret and baguette as long as you respect our no-tipping policy.

    Next item to discover on my list: why are Americans so upset about "black face". And that's what I witnessed in Sevilla (Spain) recently which did not seem racist to me at all: https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2023/01/05/polemica-espana-blackface-reyes-magos-trax/

  • What keeps me from closing up my Facebook account

  • Unfortunately yes.

    I'm a minority: I'm using Signal a lot, as well as Mastodon and Lemmy. However I was describing the situation around me and they're largely using Meta products.

  • I don't mind having 2 tools: one for public conversations with strangers and one for family and friends.

    WhatsApp has replaced Facebook for family and friends here in France. However, I keep using Facebook due to local groups and town hall posting there.

  • Any chance the videos are hosted somewhere else than TikTok?

  • Thanks. That's too bad because I really want them to succeed

  • I will not do any gaming on my laptop, I really only need a quality screen to read documents and display the occasional Netflix video

  • While I like the general objectives behind framework, I am not convinced about their standard qualities.

    My laptop is fine, I just want to understand the trends in the industry and where to buy when it eventually dies. For the record, I have a Dell Latitude 7410 released in 2020 (bought used) and it works perfectly. However, I wish I could have better audio, higher-quality trackpad, and a lighter laptop.

  • Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure they (FN / RN) will leverage on his death to gain voters.

  • I was under the impression they were more gaming oriented than "business", am I mistaken then?

  • Dear random strangers,

    I have bought Thinkpad T for many years following your advice. Then I moved to Dell Latitude 3 years ago as this was your recommendation. So far, very happy with them!

    Where should I go for my next laptop? Is it time for framework?

    (I'm looking for 14" business laptops, excellent screen, good audio, light and solid, performance is a nice-to-have, Linux-only)

  • Can I get your opinion?

    Jump

  • It's amazing how much the combination of those 3 excell at covering almost any use case.

  • $1K a month is a good deal

  • It's also tricky to compare, lots of caveats everywhere.

  • Checking in France thanks to the official simulation engine: https://mon-entreprise.urssaf.fr/simulateurs/salaire-brut-net For a 60K€ gross yearly salary, 9 618 € will go towards health insurance (801€ per month).

    In the end the cost is not that far from the US, but the benefits are much much higher.

  • Same for Reddit, still very much alive apparently.

  • Haven't booted this machine for a month or two... look at these updates!

  • Sorry I just realised I was wrong and I did not have the menu bar by default. I don't really notice it anymore...

  • Are you talking about the 2 bars at the top of the window? If yes, I find them more useful than the used space. Probably a matter of taste

  • Pay "contact-less" with your phone

    Jump

  • I kinda disagree. Not just for the technical solution that is supposed to enable a fairly good level of privacy but also because I tend to trust ECB employees and ways of working as I've done a few projects with them.

  • Can I see all the communities I'm banned from on Lemmy somewhere?

    Jump

  • I think some Fediverse mods are more extreme and biased than their equivalent on Reddit.

    For example, criticizing the anti-men stance (as in: nothing to do with feminism) promoted by jlai.lu admins for example got me my ban. My first ever ban despite being very active on Reddit for 10 years prior to migrating to Lemmy.

    Smaller communities do feel like an echo chamber as a consequence.

    PS: sh.itjust.works admins do look fine though!
