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.

The fediverse community is !tipiak@anarchist.nexus

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).

You already answered yourself, use them as your !homelab@selfhosted.forum

You can start with an OS like YunoHost if you don’t feel comfortable. Next step, to mee, would be an immutable Linux docker machine with podman.

But YunoHost is already a good start and you can have a multimedia server, nextcloud or anything else (example, paperless ngx to scan, organize and store your important documents with OCR to search them)

Officially it is Meta. Facebook is owned by Meta but the Quest headset is not a Facebook product. I get it, it’s easier to say Facebook for everything owned by Zuk, like saying Google for Youtube instead of Alphabet.

But it is not precise nor true and plenty of comments here are saying “just leave Facebook” while OP did not post about Facebook nor having a social media account there.

And TBH, I think all VR headset are kinda ugly, it’s either big rectangle brick on your head or big round brick on your head.

Also the piefed main dev is nice normal human being with humanist views of the world. He has a rational discourse toolkit box with links about how to handle extremism, disinformation and stuff like that.

Piefed would be much better aligned with your views.

Because it is not a post about Facebook but about the VR Headset Quest 2 and/or 3.

Sadly, the Meta Quest is kind of the best deal in the PC VR world.

What do you mean?

To me the problem would be modifying the lifetime pass or simply removing it (for new customers) in favor of a fucking subscription only.

I’m glad to announce that you’ve been promoted to 1st line starship space marines troopers.

Make us proud, for Earth and controlled democracy.

While I agree that the universe is too vast for any species to meet another one, I secretly hope that if we do it will unite us.

That humanity will realize we are the same species, stop fighting and ruining our world to go fight them and ruin their world (cause that’s what we do and love).

Also that we will react with the golden retriever mindset of two existential questions:

• Can I eat this?
• Can I fuck this?

I have chosen the easy way and went from too many every day to no alcohol at all. It’s been around a year now and I am going to double that number.

Kudos to you, setting limits feels way harder than getting to zero as, to me, zero means not thinking about it at all.

If you managed to keep those rules for 3 years that’s a good job, it needs a lot of will to not use any downside of life to break the rule.

I don’t see any problem, say the guy who ate one (400g) alone 3 days ago 🙄

Sad panda noise 😔

But if you can find the cheese it is really easy to do and homemade one as there’s 2 ingredients; cheese and cheese. Just use a machine to shred it because doing it by hand is not fun.

Since I don’t drink and don’t want to go to another shop to buy shit white wine, I replaced it with cheap blond alcohol free beer, it’s perfect.

So the term “Swiss cheese” for those industrial blocks is legitimate, it’s our fault 😔
