Star Guitar by the Chemical Brothers.

Since then I need to have perfect synchronization between sound and sight, I’d love to have the real world in sync with the music I’m listening to. It would be my own personal musical.

Air traffic controller. A shit ton of money for a shit ton of days off and holidays.

My highest degree is from the aviation school so it’s kinda useless outside of aviation.

Same for my pilots friends, none of them went to university/college but rather straight to flying school after the mandatory diploma you pass at around eighteen (Baccalauréat in France).

It is great but the downside is that if we want to change careers we can only become business owners (aka, create our own jobs) because nobody wants us and we don’t accept their “real world” shitty work conditions.

I want what they are having at the Palais de l’Élysée (the French presidential house).

A huge table of the best of French food made by awesome chefs, from starters to desserts.

Wait what? There is a Cœur D’Alene in Idaho?

Now I’m curious and wonder how you guys try to pronounce that very French name (with a strong R at the end of cœur)

Edit: I watched some videos and most of the people seemed to say “core da lane” with a different emphasis on lane. And one fella saying “coor d’alane”

In French it’s Coeur like beurre, and Alène like À laine. Anyway, it’s cool to have a place named “heart of” something

A year ago (or 40, hard to say as time flies effin’ fast) someone made that:

Bluetooth connected mustache pacifier with choice of taste.

It is a joke, based on discussions on a French twitch stream but the website is nice with some ironic bullshit function you would find on a real e-shop today.

Ça va, I’ve seen worse. The brie seems awkward but I get it, l’égalité brother 😎

Yup, and actual Friday will be Monday for me :(

When you work shifts (7/7 24h) weekends are whenever you are off duty and Friday can be on Tuesday.

So yeah, it is Friday somewhere for someone.

I think the prices are more or less the same today.

But we don’t go to Starbucks or fast food often, the coffee culture is the same as France and Italy so not Starbucks. And fast food is often the hangover food so not something you do every week.

Since Covid and inflation worldwide, some prices are actually cheaper in Switzerland. With a Swiss income it is a very perfect country to live in (not with a basic low 4000 chf/month tho, at least not in cities)

From the git above, it downloads an official MS iso and debloat it to create a lighter one. It’s the same as installing a normal iso and then removing stuff like one note etc, except that those are not installed by default so no need to remove them.

Specialized software from laptop brands (asus or whatever) are useless shits. You only need the drivers and an OS.

You can install Tiny11 as your base Windows OS https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder then use a debloat like the ones linked in this thread or this one https://winutil.christitus.com/

I made that on my gaming PC (I use tons of non Linux compatible stuff for flight simming) and zero problems. It’s even riced to not look like Windows DE and act like i3wm.

We (French speaking peoples) have several instances, the one I’m writing from is probably the most active on lemmy, the others are on piefed.

I’d say if you see a lot of them it’s probably because of your language settings or because of those German instance settings.

I had to block several of their communities as I don’t have German selected in my languages but they still show on all (and in German, not English posts hosted on a German instance), so they were just badly setup. Maybe it changed tho, I haven’t updated my blacklist in a while.

MacGyver.

Yeah yeah, that one episode with the fire ants (S01E05) and the other one with the fast aging scientist (S03E11) gave me nightmares as a kid.

I should try to watch them today just to see how cool was the young O’Neill with two L.

Oui

Switzerland, meh.

I have a better job with low hours for more money but still have to be cautious about costs. They have several houses with a garden that I can only dream about.

They have a retirement plan that I can only dream about and an happy life while I’m ok-ish but depressive.

But I have 10Gbs fiber optic internet and a NAS+Seedbox so there’s that.

I went to the store with an objective, resist my urge for chocolate.

I did not realize we are after valentine day, it was packed with heart shaped chocolate at -50% next to huge chocolate bunnies cause it is somewhat already Easter?

Oh well, maybe I’ll resist better next time 🤷🏻‍♂️

MOO, My Only One.

It’s just because when saying it sounds like a cow mooing

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. I loved everything in that tactical spaceship battle game and I play it at least once a year (modded to work on 2026 hardware).

It’s so sad they never made the second one and the other games that somewhat look alike are, meh…

Then it was KSP, Cyberpunk 2077 and recently Clair Obscur.

Tipiak is a kinda slang way of saying pirate. It comes from an old tv ad from a food company named Tipiak. 3 old grandma screamed “pirate !” after discovering that the food tastes the same as their own secret family recipe (supposedly). It became sort of a meme and is used to say pirate. As the French language is not difficult enough for our English neighbours, we started to conjugate the word: Ce soir je vais tipiaker ce film (tonight I’m going to pirate (download) that film).

The same word is used in the answer from @obercail@jlai.lu with even a new variant: Tipiakeries (pirate thingy)

The two main French torrents tracker (private tracker) are:

• https://www.yggtorrent.org/ (domain tld change regularly)
• https://la-cale.space/ (recently created after bad decision by ygg, and growing)

In French it’s like in Italian, ‘j’ai quatorze ans’ (I have 14 years).

Sometimes people are saying their next age, ‘je vais sur mes quinze ans’ (I am going to my 15 years).
