Would upvote this suggestion more tan once, if I could.

Oh, thx a lot for the tip. I was not aware of that at all.

I just rechecked and I can now see those two posts too, without subscribing myself: probably someone else from here had subscribed first ;)

Reddit, and hopefully Lemmy will get there too ;)

Also, I quite like using Kagi search engine (paid) for its neat features. Things like

• No Ads and no SEO to ruin the results.
• Blocking/Lowering/Raising certain domains from the search results. So, I never have to even see the name of those turd websites that specialise in SEO-optimized or AI-vomited non-content.
• Small Web, which only search small websites
• Lenses (to focus search on certain type of content/websites)
• Bangs and a few other more usual stuff one may also find in other search engines.
• They also have optional AI-stuff, if that is your thing.

I've been using Kagi for almost a full year (it is supposed to renew in a couple days) and I've been loving every instant using it. Like really.

That said, it's not cheap. Here in Europe (I live in France), it's 130€ a year (tax-included) for their second-best plan, and I have not yet decided to renew because of that cost. So, the last couple weeks I've been forcing myself to use the search engines I used before Kagi to see how well it went (startpage & qwant, mainly). And, yeah, I already miss Kagi a lot ;)

Just had a look, there is no post at all for the moment?

Maybe you should post something(s) right now and not wait until January if you want people to sub or, like you mentioned, to start suggesting ideas.

Imho, the perspective of facing an empty community with zero discussion going on until next January will not encourage participation.

Je ne connais pas. Cela dit, quelle que soit la chanson/musique d'ambiance diffusée c'est une des principales raisons qui fera que je ne remettrai plus les pieds dans cette boutique.

Quand je veux faire du shopping, ce n'est pas écouter de la musique qu'elle soit de Beethoven ou d'ascenseur. Et quand je souhaite écouter de la musique, je préfère écouter celle que j'aime, et que j'ai dans mon appareil, et je préfère le faire dans mes écouteurs pour ne pas embêter tout le monde autour de moi avec ma toute dernière compilation des meilleures musiques d'ascenseur ;)

Simplified and with a lot of user power and user freedom abdicated to a few companies, or to a few groups of developers working together, in order to make things much simpler and much more optimised for the average user.

I mean, suffice to see how often people can be completely lost when they're asked to decide between clicking either the OK or the Cancel button, or use a simple drop down menu, or decide if they should even be bothered with their privacy at all when using any app as long as it is free and shiny... As it is, Linux stands no-chance against that with its many quirks, workarounds, with its sudo pacman -s or sudo apt install, and with its focus on freedom and privacy. No matter how excellent those tools can be, and no matter how important freedom and privacy should be.

As a non-US user myself, beside the lack of participation on Lemmy, I think the kind of replies and the instant escalation to this comment, in this very thread is a great example of why Lemmy can suck, hard.

The world, exactly like the Internet, does not end at the US borders.

And yep, even though many US citizens seem to be on the verge of slicing each other throats, it doesn't mean the rest of the world should behave the same. Lemmy users should still be able to discuss freely even between people of varying opinions, or even of completely opposite opinions.

Pourquoi pas.

Je me demande s'ils ne devraient pas faire un truc similaire pour les restaurants parisiens? Je veux dire, la quantité de restau qui n'en sont plus et se contentent de réchauffer des plats préparés de façon industrielle. Et je ne parle pas seulement dans les coins touristiques de la ville. C'est déprimant.

Si je veux vraiment bouffer de la merde industrielle, je peux en acheter tout seul comme un grand, On en trouve des piles des piles en barquettes de plastique (en plus de bouffer de la merde, si on jetait encore un peu plus de plastique dans la nature?) dans n'importe quel super marché ou supérette. En plus, ça me coûtera moins cher, je ne serai pas forcé de manger dans une salle bruyante, naufragé sur mon minuscule coin de table perdu au milieu d'autres sardin... pardon, clients.

Peut-être faire une liste des adresses où la nourriture est encore cuisinée pour de vrai et pas juste rechauffée, ce serait un bon début?

No, I did not see that. Thx! That's clever.

BTW, I loved this old t-rex logo and felt, well, if not betrayed quite disgruntled the day they replaced it. Loved it so much that occasionally I still wear my old Mozilla 'Take back the web' t-shirts, the ones with the t-rex printed on a red star. It's as cool today as it ever was, if you were to ask me :p

I've been using Firefox since it was called Netscape, and before that I was using Mosaic. Nowadays, I'm also using Safari (and Vivaldi) but I still can't imagine not using FF as my default browser. More exactly, FF with the uBO extension, which is another nice gift to all of us — a bit like FF pop-up blocker was back then.

I would have loved if they had released an anniversary icon for FF. Too bad they did not, but that's probably just me getting old, all nostalgic and sentimental :p

Unfortunately, calling police in America may put you in danger. It’s one of the many, many reasons I’ve left. I don’t think people quite understand what it does until they’ve lived in other, safer places.

That is not how the system is supposed to work. I never went to the USA and probably never will (there are a lot of reasons and people that would make me want to go mind you, but there are also way too many things I'm just not OK with). So, like I said I really can't tell but if that is like you say, that's very problematic.

I mean, there must be some legal authority to call for help. Self-defence, adding violence to already too much violence, can't be the only solution a State has to offer to threatened citizens. If that was, what use would there be in such a State?

Real Marseille soap (savon de Marseille, as we say here in France) is a great 100% natural soap that is not agressive to the skin. But beware if you try to buy some, as there is a vast majority of cheap knock-off edit: that aren't Marseille soap at all.
