I prefer to support smaller instances, but don't have a problem with lemmy.ml specifically (whereas I do sometimes go out of my way to avoid lemmy.world)
I believe someone had asked for it and they said it was nearly impossible. You'd be able to do it in a single given app maybe, but the « download an episode by default » system, the (wonderful) variety of podcasting apps, and the variety of podcast ad services all make it nearly impossible. It's somewhere in the issues!
This extension really changed my life, or at least my fraught relationship with YouTube!
ah dammit, sorry about that. I think it might be dynamic because I didn't have it the first time I visited
Yes, it does. It will keep suffering from the same issues as long as it encourages microblogging, and there are public upvotes and likes, and you can post links on Lemmy with a single-sentence summary that people can react to without reading the link. The Fediverse social media is built on the exact same premises as for-profit social media.
What has been done on the Fediverse is taking these systems and making them less addictive. Basically, they have all the problems of for-profit social media, but for-profit social media snowballs these problems and puts them at the core of their business model. The issue without the several layers of « making it worse because money » is not nearly as bad. But I do believe it's a « lesser evil » thing, at least for our brains and ability to interact with people.
I don't know about the author, but I'm on Linux and Android and the apps I see on Notion Calendar are for Windows and Mac for desktop and for iOS on phone.
I've tried the web client a bit when it came out but it just didn't really click for me (as in, I didn't see how it would be better than any email client that has an integrated calendar). Also, calendar web clients just don't answer the issue, in my opinion. And regular Notion is slow and clunky in my experience, so I haven't given them the benefit of the doubt on the Calendar part of their tooling. :)
Paris doesn't need new housing, it just needs to keep upgrading its existing apartments :)
Otherwise yes sounds right.
They correspond to the larger eras in French economy.
- Industrial revolution
- Entre-deux-guerres, a period of strong urbanization and a huge push towards social housing. I suppose they included WW2 cause nothing was built there anyway.
- 1946 to 1970 is "les trente glorieuses", the time of rebuilding everything, which means everyone had a job and could afford a house or apartment.
- The oil crash in 1973 ushered in a more modern era, usually more left-wing after May 68 and with the election of Mitterrand in 1982.
- The 1990 one is around when we elected a right-wing president and the public policies vastly changed.
- 2005-2006 was starting to get tough because of oil again, I believe. It is also around the beginning of the US subprime crisis, of which the consequences affected us all too.
Poor Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden not even speaking their countries' languages :(
(One of the first things I learned when I joined the Localization industry was to never use a flag to represent a language!)
people really hate when developers are paid for their work huh
I hope the new job is going to work out for you!
Personally, I'm pretty unhappy in my company, but I've mostly been using the free time to do things that I can be fulfilled with - especially Wikipedia editing, which can be done while remaining available for the colleagues and even looking like I'm working because I'm online :)
Maybe this could be some kind of partial solution for you as well?
As for the alcohol, I'm so sorry for this and I hope things will get better. If you feel like you're losing control, I highly recommend checking out if you can get professional help, by a specialist who won't judge and is there just for that.
Good luck!
Political maps are a terrible tool for visualizing cultural / linguistic practices (and on this one, colonization didn't make it even worse). Just gotta roll with it and enjoy the weird assumptions :)
