Absolutely. And when bored (which is likely to happen), I’d visit Moorcock’s “Dancers at the end of times” universe, for the same carefree attitude, but in a much more spicy flavour

HAHAHAHA what the eff? Where does that come from? (I know it’s semi-old because of the vertical toolbar)

Gnome is the best UI there is IMO. Anything else is cluttered, or privacy-invasive, or both.

Won’t take a Swiss plug

I work them, so I never just go and attend them - the experience is so much better when you’re “in”. I love the interaction, quite love the babysitting part of it even.

Also when I enjoy it, I will tell them & and it always work because artists know that if the local tech found them good, that same dude who see so much stuff day-in, day-out, it (probably) means something.

You meet jerks, of course. You learn to provide them with minimal service, but clean and decent for the public. You meet fantastic people who fail to make it through to the audience, and that’s heartbreaking. You learn to put 200% of yourself into a musical style you don’t enjoy because the dudes on stage are killing it and the audience is loving it - who cares if Jazz Manouche is the most boring, written down and set in stone style ever.

My most stupid interaction was, at the end of a programme that included both Chopin and Steve Reich, to tell the Reich’ piece clarinetist “sometimes, Chopin is boring. Especially in regard to Reich”. The Guy was in agreement lol.

Ah, Belgium, yes.

Probably stepped on a Lego

Some magnificent pieces can be had for “only” used cars prices.

Lego’s (I can’t have enough, too expensive)
A full-sized bath (flat is pretty old, they did come with baths then, I love it)

Welcome back, bears! I missed you!

Ouch. I paid €90 for them.

Sony wh-ch720n

Features noise cancellation, a delight when in public transportation. Audio conference seems to work good, never had anyone complaining about how I sound. They’re confy enough, charge over USB C. And also, they still can be wired with a standard mini-jack cord.

En France le démarchage téléphonique est autorisé, mais suivant des tranches de numéros spécifiques :

J’utilise Yet Another Call Blocker pour filtrer tout ce qui vient de ce segment, et ma vie est bien plus tranquille.

Tout le monde ne respecte pas la règle évidemment, J’ai encore des cochonneries, mais 1 à 2 par semaine seulement

Ah je l’ai déjà vue celle-là, “z’y-va explique-moi la théorie du genre pasque je suis trop bête, j’ai pas compris”

Faut supporter le cringe, voire le pathétique.

J’imagine qu’il y a des droitistes articulés (avez-vous lu l’article du WSJ “Next: Defund the UN” que jai posté dans étatsunis ?), mais en général on arrive à de vastes silences accompagnés de “tu vois quoi”, “et tout ça hein” et autres “ouais moi je sais pas bien mais”

Le plus intéressant est de leur demander de définir ces termes :

• woke c’est antifasciste ? Vous êtes fasciste ?
• woke c’est antiraciste ? Vous êtes raciste ?
• woke c’est proféministe ? Vous êtes antifémisniste ?

Etc etc tu peux en balancer à longueur de journée où jamais ils pourront avouer que woke, c’est tout ce qu’ils osent pas avouer être, inavouables.

I use NewPipe on my android phone: it will only display the channels I am subscribed to, and you have to take extra steps to check what the algorithm would like to feed you afterwards.

I keep a voluntarily small amount of subscriptions, and removed the “most popular” tab in settings. This absolutely limits the amount of time I can spend on the platform (on top of removing the yt ads).

Connect also

Voyager and Connect even allow you to filter by URLs, so you don’t see posts linking to media you don’t want to hear about.

Nobody cares about you and your cheap AI-generated tentacle porn. The point here is at entreprise-level. Businesses will be legally locked down with expensive US vendors, it’s all that matters.

Infuriating thing above all that cretin protectionism is that pro use of AI stuff will consume a planet-destroying 10 30 times as much energy than needed.
