We (French speaking peoples) have several instances, the one I’m writing from is probably the most active on lemmy, the others are on piefed.
I’d say if you see a lot of them it’s probably because of your language settings or because of those German instance settings.
I had to block several of their communities as I don’t have German selected in my languages but they still show on all (and in German, not English posts hosted on a German instance), so they were just badly setup. Maybe it changed tho, I haven’t updated my blacklist in a while.
MacGyver.
Yeah yeah, that one episode with the fire ants (S01E05) and the other one with the fast aging scientist (S03E11) gave me nightmares as a kid.
I should try to watch them today just to see how cool was the young O’Neill with two L.

1·28 days agoOk I see what you mean.
In very active and populated servers I can see that becoming a problem yes.
I generally use the “combined view” so I see every threads at the same time and reply in the correct one automatically.

2·28 days agoHow?
I manage two Zulip servers so I’m interested of knowing how it is perceived by outsiders.
To me (to us) it is quite simple, you write in the topic with the correct title, fediverse stuff goes in fediverse stuff, video games in video games, etc etc.
If someone makes a mistake, any user on a PC can move the message to the correct topic (doesn’t work with the mobile app).
Ouaip ! Je l’ai lu, jlailu. On est assez fiers de notre nom de domaine, on essaie d’être de “feddit” de la francophonie.
The message*
But now that you say it I can see what you mean yeah. That wasn’t my goal and op is most probably a normal human being although I can’t vouch for the normal part.
I’ll use the “not native speaker joker card” and add some French slurs as punctuation, putain :)
It’s probably coming from Mastodon

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is your life better or worse than your parents (I mean specifically your parents, *not* your parent's generation)? (Specify country)
9·2 months agoSwitzerland, meh.
I have a better job with low hours for more money but still have to be cautious about costs. They have several houses with a garden that I can only dream about.
They have a retirement plan that I can only dream about and an happy life while I’m ok-ish but depressive.
But I have 10Gbs fiber optic internet and a NAS+Seedbox so there’s that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How are you doing today? Life's treating you good so far?
10·2 months agoI went to the store with an objective, resist my urge for chocolate.
I did not realize we are after valentine day, it was packed with heart shaped chocolate at -50% next to huge chocolate bunnies cause it is somewhat already Easter?
Oh well, maybe I’ll resist better next time 🤷🏻♂️

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you call your significant other in your phone?

It’s just because when saying it sounds like a cow mooing
If you still want to see news sometime, just subscribe to everything silly you want to see and only scroll on your home (subscribed) feed.
Don’t go on all unless you want to doom.
Or use piefed with the same strategy but use the dedicated feeds to sometimes explore news or other subjects.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•French pirate/torrent sites?English

Tipiak is a kinda slang way of saying pirate. It comes from an old tv ad from a food company named Tipiak. 3 old grandma screamed “pirate !” after discovering that the food tastes the same as their own secret family recipe (supposedly). It became sort of a meme and is used to say pirate. As the French language is not difficult enough for our English neighbours, we started to conjugate the word: Ce soir je vais tipiaker ce film (tonight I’m going to pirate (download) that film).
The same word is used in the answer from @[email protected] with even a new variant: Tipiakeries (pirate thingy)
The two main French torrents tracker (private tracker) are:
- https://www.yggtorrent.org/ (domain tld change regularly)
- https://la-cale.space/ (recently created after bad decision by ygg, and growing)

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Surpasses Elden Ring as the Most Awarded Game EverEnglish
2·3 months agoIt’s funny I’ve been hearing about this sound indicator a lot but never managed to hear it myself.
I’m around 100h in the endgame, level 99 with all pictos, weapons and stuff but never managed that sound indicator.
I parry using visual references. Sometimes having to look a bit at the larger scene, having the action in my peripheral vision for some bosses. It worked perfectly until now but one day I shall try to hear that sound indicator…

In French it’s like in Italian, ‘j’ai quatorze ans’ (I have 14 years).
Sometimes people are saying their next age, ‘je vais sur mes quinze ans’ (I am going to my 15 years).

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What should I do with 2 old machines (Mac Mini and HP Pavilion g7)?
6·4 months agoYou already answered yourself, use them as your [email protected]
You can start with an OS like YunoHost if you don’t feel comfortable. Next step, to mee, would be an immutable Linux docker machine with podman.
But YunoHost is already a good start and you can have a multimedia server, nextcloud or anything else (example, paperless ngx to scan, organize and store your important documents with OCR to search them)
Officially it is Meta. Facebook is owned by Meta but the Quest headset is not a Facebook product. I get it, it’s easier to say Facebook for everything owned by Zuk, like saying Google for Youtube instead of Alphabet.
But it is not precise nor true and plenty of comments here are saying “just leave Facebook” while OP did not post about Facebook nor having a social media account there.
And TBH, I think all VR headset are kinda ugly, it’s either big rectangle brick on your head or big round brick on your head.




I work in ATC and we have several desks with around 12 to 18 screens. Not in that layout tho, but on a much larger banana form.
They are used at different support positions so not ATC radars. Mostly for monitoring but also used with keyboard and mouse.
The applications goes from technical surveillance of ops systems, to flow capacity (airspace capacity), meteo broadcast for all airports (ATIS) or ground-ground telecommunications of aeronautical data.
