Syncthing is great to periodically sync files between Linux and Android. And you could use it as file transfer service for occasional needs if you just share an empty directory.

Yeah !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone is one of my favorite communities for wholesome memes.

I’ve been using qwant for a few weeks and it gives me quite satisfying and accurate results. Before I had been using ecosia for years but the results can be lackluster sometimes. Especially when you search very specific “niche” things (like obscure Linux problems troubleshooting). But I’m still looking for a browser which let’s you pick multiple languages for results.

Yes of course, we always used fractions so there was no ambiguity. Last time I saw the division symbol must have been in primary school!

Interesting, I didn’t know about strong implicit multiplication. So I would have said the result is 9. All along my studies in France, up to my physics courses at University, all my teachers used weak implicit multiplication. Could be it’s the norm in France, or they only use it in math studies at University.

No I’ve never met a French person who hates Haiti for becoming independent. There might be 1 or 2 die-hard bonapartists like that somewhere, but we just see them as a lunatic minority like the other monarchists. Most people don’t even remember Haiti being part of France. But there are still a lot of nostalgics of French Algeria and other former African colonies. And boy that’s very cringe for our diplomatic relations sometimes!

I’m French so I can tell you we don’t learn about Haïti in History class. I was curious some time ago so I did a bit of research about it. It was quite inspiring to see that the young independent nation was actually prosperous in its early years. But being a small island-country is hard, even more so when you have to pay a debt of 150M francs to France ($560M today). I wouldn’t say Haïti’s misery is maintained by racism today, but by the ravages of past imperialism. And in the 1800s, racism was more a justification for colonisation rather than the discrimination/segregation we see since the 20th century.

I’m torn between Battlestar: Galactica and Dark. The first one is definitely my favourite space opera of all time. But the mind-blowingly intricate plot of Dark makes it the one of the best mysteries ever told I’d say.

This might seem a little naive but I’d say you need the right space to bring different cultures together, and a lot of good will! For instance, I’m thinking of projects like the Erasmus programme for students in Europe, or even constructed languages like Esperanto that aim to build bridges between peoples. If we approach things with the right angle, there’s always a way to build something with our differences, as resources and not obstacles.

Nonsense! It’s a really good replacement for lettuce in a sandwich. If you add enough mustard to cover the aftertaste…

Replace it with Éloquence and then you’ve got the perfect meme

Yeah I don’t get the whole “replace meat with a vegan steak” idea. Just prepare a delicious Dahl, the recipe of which has been around for hundreds of years!

Delivery guy here! Don’t forget that the driver only gets $5 out of those $30. So fuck uber. And I take my bike when I want to eat, obviously.

The number one problem of modern appliance is indeed longevity I’d say. The so called “planned obsolescence” is probably what mainly drives or consumption of electronics and, accordingly, our production of e-waste. But Framework might just be saying that for green washing purposes.

I can’t help “alternating” what I eat. Like Monday it’s jam for breakfast and Tuesday it’s Nutella, so on and so forth. Or for lunch it’s “healthy yogurt” while for dinner I get a sugary fatty desert. It started as a way to eat healthily but now it feels a bit like a prison of my own making 😅

“Ah! I think it’s torticollis again!”

Damn that seems really infuriating. Where I live there’s a government program to forbid anyone to send you ads or political propaganda (and the best part is that you can report those who slip through the net!) It isn’t fool proof but it did decrease the amount of calls from people trying to sell me shit I don’t want.

Number one show I wish wasn’t cancelled was Firefly, definitely. And more recently, 1899.

Default app store for my Volla phone. I’m the ultimate hipster and I’m proud of it!

English not being my first language, I can relate to that thought 😅
