[DISCUSSION] Free Talk Friday - How's everybody doing?
  • Thank you for doing this.

  • French Ambassador to Niger Itte and other diplomatic staff being held "hostage" and forced to eat military rations at French Embassy (English translation)
  • The article is a little weird. This is my interpretation, need to look for other sources.

    President says that the ambassador is "taken hostage, literally".
    Military in Niger wants him out of the country, but French government says that his work is too valuable, he must stay.
    Military says " OK, but he can't leave the embassy, Persona Non Grata".

    Technically the ambassador has either choice of leaving the country or staying inside the embassy. Food is not delivered anymore, leaving him with military rations to eat.

  • French Ambassador to Niger Itte and other diplomatic staff being held "hostage" and forced to eat military rations at French Embassy (English translation)
  • The French variant of the article says that there is only military rations left to eat at the embassy.
    But your post kind of implies that the French embassador is "force fed" military rations? This is a very weird way to translate it.

  • What is smth toxic in a relationship you should not like but did/do?
  • Nope, autistic burnout. Is the reason I stayed, for someone genuinely struggling.
    But now I'm out, never ever again.

  • What is smth toxic in a relationship you should not like but did/do?
  • I didn't like the situation, but I still did it because I liked the relationship. I see where is the misunderstanding now. My bad, and thank you

  • What is smth toxic in a relationship you should not like but did/do?
  • They would stop replying to any message, be overall unreachable, ghosting me when we planned a getaway at that date.
    I assumed they needed space. I'm fine with respecting boundaries, even if it stings nonetheless when you miss them.

    But stopping literally existing out of the blue?
    How much time do you need? Days, weeks? Should I wait for you to contact me? Should we cancel this weekend?
    No way to get an answer. No, nothing.
    Just toss a coin and try to find out.

  • German Chancellor Scholz speaks out against new nuclear power
  • This is an interesting take, and I learnt from it. Would you mind sharing one or two of your references?
    I had a heated discussion the other day on this topic, and I wish to know more.
    On the other hand, I don't really understand your statement that nobody is seriously building reactor lately.
    China has started building new reactors. They are not planning but effectively doing it. Am I missing something?

  • [Promotion de l'instance] Proposition de dĂ©pĂȘche pour Linuxfr
  • Lemmy est une plateforme libre (sous licence AGPL-3.0) et fĂ©dĂ©rĂ©e. La fĂ©dĂ©ration est un systĂšme qui permet Ă  n’importe qui de mettre en ligne un serveur, et de l’utiliser pour interagir avec le reste de la plateforme, de la mĂȘme maniĂšre que les diffĂ©rents serveurs d’emails permettent d’envoyer des messages peu importe le serveur choisi.

  • [Promotion de l'instance] Proposition de dĂ©pĂȘche pour Linuxfr
  • Super, a la fois succinct et instructif. J'ajouterais seulement un mini paragraphe pour expliquer ce qu'est la fĂ©dĂ©ration. On ne fait pas forcĂ©ment le rapprochement entre la notion que Lemmy est fĂ©dĂ©rĂ©, et le systĂšme des instances. Je chippote un peu, le reste est impeccable (a mon humble opinion).

  • Interview de Idriss Aberkane avec Christian Gerondeau
  • Je suis honnĂȘtement curieux de l'avis de la communautĂ© au sujet de cette vidĂ©o, parce que je suis pas mal out of the loop en matiĂšre de rĂ©seaux sociaux. Avant de regarder la vidĂ©o, je ne connaissais ni lun ni l'autre de ces individus.
    Je sais que donner mon avis avant d'avoir celui des autres aurait influencé les réactions.

  • Interview de Idriss Aberkane avec Christian Gerondeau
  • Sans avoir regardĂ©, est-ce que ça parle de libertĂ©s volĂ©s au nom de l’environnement ? Est-ce que les mĂ©dias sont accusĂ©es de censure ? Ils disent peut ĂȘtre que c’est hypocrite d’interdire les vols par avion ?

    Tu viens de remplir une carte Bingo.

    Je viens de recevoir cette vidĂ©o d'un proche. Je me suis dĂ©jĂ  fait un avis tranchĂ©, mais je suis tout aussi curieux de l'avis de la communautĂ© Lemmy sur cette interview. Édit: vu le nombre de bas votes en trente minute, j'ai trouvĂ© rĂ©ponse a ma question.

    "Journey's End", te_abstract_art (me)
  • Gives a Thalos Principle vibe, somehow

  • Water mountains
  • I'd play the hell out of this videogame.

  • Why don't planes have a switch beside the call button that you can choose between "wake me up for meal service" or "leave me alone?"
  • I don't remember which, but on one of my flights, we were distributed eye masks with different colors on each side. If you were wearing the red color on the outside, it meant that you wanted to be left alone. Smart and yey, free eye mask!

  • Anyone interested?
  • You also need to provide the kid that must be saved last minute, because they stupidly ran after their soccer ball, and their dumb ass is now in the middle of the road.

  • Period poverty: In Africa, women are being priced out of buying sanitary ware
  • Easy to say, for areas where drinkable water is scarce

  • [Question] Payment Processing Service recommendations?
  • Don't know whether they do, but have you heard of Liberapay?

  • Why is Hugging Allowed in Boxing?
  • In Muay Thai, when your opponent tries to throw a knee, they hold the back of your neck and pull you.
    A knee to the stomach or plexus is really powerful, so you have to act fast.
    The best defense in those cases is to hold the back of their neck in return, pull them closer so that they cannot strike, and try to throw a knee first.
    It ends up with a play of the two opponents holding each other and trying to throw a knee while closing the distance.
    And most likely ends up in the dead lock or "hugging" that we see in match.

    I'm sure there are other techniques that involve this holding in MMA. Forbidding it would remove those techniques from the game.

  • What platform/api could I use to split donations across multiple benefactors?

    I've been looking across the internet, up, down, front, and back. No clue.

    Let say two artists put their work together and want to add a donation banner on the webpage of their collaboration. For example, a singer shares their music with a video maker. First, they agree on an arbitrary share for future donations. Like 50%/50% or 75%/25%, etc. They may not know each other well, they may live in two separate continents.

    Is there any platform or api allowing this?

    • Once the share is agreed upon, an artist can not change it without the approval of both.
    • The platform shouldn't be bound to a country (for example Stripe cannot accept international donations, unless the artists are in the US).
    • I may be wishing for Santa Claus, but a privacy-friendly solution would be awesome.

    Any idea appreciated, I've been drying my a$$ off for weeks on this one.

    How could we reach out to /r/menslib?

    I can see the difference in engagement between the subreddit and this community. I'm wondering out loud what we could do to motivate a migration from there to here.

    [Help] Any FOSS or at least privacy friendly AI tool to automatically comment code?

    I used Trelent, an extension for VS code that didn't require any registration, but their server has been unresponsive for a while. Any alternative you would recommend? My code is in Python, mostly.

    Edit: I wasn't clear on my intention. I was looking for a tool that would lay out a generic description so I would start from something and fine tune the explanation. I am incredibly bad at documenting, the process is tedious and frustrating. At the end of the day, my explanations are mostly gibberish anyway. From your general consensus, I should bite the bullet and do it by myself. I really appreciate your feedback, point taken. Time to psych myself up with some death metal and get it over with.

    Is there any community for web3/blockchain developers?

    As title says. Looking for a community where people can discuss their project, share resources, etc.

    Fellow self-hosters of Lemmy, what is your domain name?

    I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).
