Political maps are a terrible tool for visualizing cultural / linguistic practices (and on this one, colonization didn't make it even worse). Just gotta roll with it and enjoy the weird assumptions :)

I prefer to support smaller instances, but don't have a problem with lemmy.ml specifically (whereas I do sometimes go out of my way to avoid lemmy.world)

I believe someone had asked for it and they said it was nearly impossible. You'd be able to do it in a single given app maybe, but the « download an episode by default » system, the (wonderful) variety of podcasting apps, and the variety of podcast ad services all make it nearly impossible. It's somewhere in the issues!

This extension really changed my life, or at least my fraught relationship with YouTube!

ah dammit, sorry about that. I think it might be dynamic because I didn't have it the first time I visited

Yes, it does. It will keep suffering from the same issues as long as it encourages microblogging, and there are public upvotes and likes, and you can post links on Lemmy with a single-sentence summary that people can react to without reading the link. The Fediverse social media is built on the exact same premises as for-profit social media.

What has been done on the Fediverse is taking these systems and making them less addictive. Basically, they have all the problems of for-profit social media, but for-profit social media snowballs these problems and puts them at the core of their business model. The issue without the several layers of « making it worse because money » is not nearly as bad. But I do believe it's a « lesser evil » thing, at least for our brains and ability to interact with people.

I don't know about the author, but I'm on Linux and Android and the apps I see on Notion Calendar are for Windows and Mac for desktop and for iOS on phone.

I've tried the web client a bit when it came out but it just didn't really click for me (as in, I didn't see how it would be better than any email client that has an integrated calendar). Also, calendar web clients just don't answer the issue, in my opinion. And regular Notion is slow and clunky in my experience, so I haven't given them the benefit of the doubt on the Calendar part of their tooling. :)

I lost ten kilos last year and was super proud.

Then life got harder, and then I injured my knee skiing, and then I went on an eat pray love type trip for a month, so I gained eight back since October.

But I'm glad to say I lost 5kg since the beginning of last month and am (nearly) back on track. The mild calorie deficit is going really well and I don't feel deprived at all, which I'm truly happy with. Only gotta keep it up longer this time! :)

In my city, we don't have a subway, but we have trains and tramways and buses (and my city's super flat and very bike-friendly). I haven't owned a car in 10 years. My partner sold their car this year because it took them more time to drive around than to take public transportation or their bike.

All of France yep!

The book is called Free, I'm not trying to promote anything and really have nothing to gain. I'm just sharing my book reviews and felt like this might be good to share with people interested in European countries and cultures :)

Yeah, Anna's Archive bragged about doing it (and they did great).
