In celebration of Independence Day
  • The French: Couleur

    Let le fest commence!

  • Stop resisting like the liberals say.
  • I’m a 46 yo French dude and still throw an unexpected “Wazzuuuuppp” on phone from time to time just to keep that vibe going. It was as stupid as innocent. An hymn to my past youth and a rallying call for generations to come.

  • Babe, wake up. Polls are open. Go and vote.
  • Wonder where we got it from…

    Well, sometimes I wonder why half of Africa speaks French… so I get your point. Sorry for that…

    There are other holidays when schools or some other establishments might be closed but banks are open.

    Are they still called bank holidays or do they have another name?

  • Babe, wake up. Polls are open. Go and vote.
  • I understand, but I’m kind of stuck by what’s implied. Like “money doesn’t make money today so everyone can stay home because the bank decides”

    In France they are called “jour férié” from the old French “foirié”, literally “fair day”

  • Babe, wake up. Polls are open. Go and vote.
  • As a French I only learned recently from a Londoner coworker how you call your national days off.

    “Bank holidays”

    Why?

    Anyway, good luck from the bottom of my heart.

  • Babe, wake up. Polls are open. Go and vote.
  • I wish my fellow Britts the very best in the outcome of those elections. And by best what I truly mean is left.

    Kisses from France. We’re with you guys.

  • Ah shit
  • Don’t give Macron too much credit here.

    He’s the one to blame for the far right’s victory with his same-same language, has he pushed the discourse that the left party is in fact a dangerous antisemitic far left party.

    The left party was the first to pull out of races to let macron’s representatives win against the far right, even though it would cost them much more.

    Macron is an absolute POS.

  • Ah shit
  • Marie Le Pew sounds way too nice for that POS

    It’s Marine Le Pen, and her goon Jordan Bardella (who has Algerian origins from his grandmother but ignores that completely and prefers talking about his Italian origins from his grandfather)

  • What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.
  • palm oil.

    Oh my sweet internet. Now I know what I'll put on display next time I'll get drunk with my friends. Thank you very much sir!

  • What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.
  • Don't worry, I'll keep my eyes shut

  • What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.
  • If I put oil in the fridge it gets solid

    Same for honey, as cold accelerate the crystallization process.

    Peanut butter is basically oil already, but putting it in the fridge might help keeping it less oily. I eat organic 100% peanut butter and it is often oily when I open it. I think that’s why some have palm oil in it.

    Soy sauce should be salty enough to store out the fridge but I prefer to keep it in the fridge for some reason.

    Oyster sauce contains sea food, so straight in the fridge!

  • Highest point in Europe
  • What is that 5165m mountain? I've always been told that the Mont-Blanc was the highest mountain of Europe and now I'm confused.

    EDIT: Ararat mount in East Turkey. Considered an Asian mountain on Wikipedia.

  • Metropolis 1998, city builder with the ability to view inside buildings and a Simcity 2000 style aesthetic, releases development update, demo expected within a month
  • Nice!

    May I ask what game engine you used, and if a macOS version is on schedule OR if it has been tested to run with Game Porting ToolKit (either through Whisky or Crossover)?

    Thanks! And great job BTW

  • It's painful to not be able to see everything at once.
  • TBH I didn't invent it. I think it's the way Apple refers to a closed Mac laptop since the clamshell iBook. And since I'm not a native English speaker I usually find the expression easier to use.

  • French elections: Far-right candidate to withdraw after Nazi cap picture emerges
  • I didn't know LeMonde has an English version. Nice

    I'm honestly surprised she even bothered withdrawing. It's far from the first picture of a RN candidate in Nazi outfits we find. I'm glad but she did, but I'm surprised.

  • It's painful to not be able to see everything at once.
  • I must be lucky because I have a laptop + 2 24" 4K monitors setup and it turns out it is too much for me. Now I just use my laptop in clamshell mode with one monitor in landscape and the other in portrait mode, but I wonder if won't sell one those and keep the vertical one aside my open laptop.

  • Anon learns that his grandfather dodged being drafted
  • Yes, my country is EU. My State is France.

    I’m European before being French and I don’t care if it confuses people.

  • Vous pensez quoi de cette nouvelle ?

    www.nouvelobs.com Législatives 2024 : à quoi joue François Hollande, candidat-surprise du Nouveau Front populaire à Tulle ?

    Certains ont pu croire que l’ancien président de la République se contenterait d’encourager le rassemblement de la gauche contre l’extrême droite. C’était mal connaître cet animal politique, et l’ambition qui le travaille encore.

    Législatives 2024 : à quoi joue François Hollande, candidat-surprise du Nouveau Front populaire à Tulle ?

    Je suis un peu surpris de le voir débouler ici, mais c'est vrai qu'il reste populaire en Corrèze. Par contre je me demande quand même si ça ne va pas faire plus de mal que de bien.

    Votre avis ?

    How to hide Windows only games in the Steam Store

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to hide games that only support Windows, as I'll never buy any of those games.

    Is there a simple way to do that? I found a checkbox in my account settings but it doesn't seem to have much effects.

    Thank you very much and happy gaming

    Foundation TV Show finally found its voice (to me)

    fangirlish.com ‘Foundation’ 2×07 Reaction: In Salvor Hardin We Trust

    Foundation 2x07 reminds us that everyone is in ever-increasing danger—and the only person we should trust is Salvor Hardin.

    ‘Foundation’ 2×07 Reaction: In Salvor Hardin We Trust

    The link is just a blog post I found that summarizes pretty well my feelings about s02e07 (I could have used that much of « fuck »)

    The thing is, I disliked almost everything in the first season, except maybe for the grandiose introduction. I didn’t find anything I loved in the books. I absolutely couldn’t care less about the changes of gender of main characters, and even found the Cleon’s clones thing smart (the show needed the Empire incarnation) but the show took itself so seriously sometimes it was embarrassing.

    I started the second season anyway, almost because I haven’t anything else to watch and I started enjoying it a little more, thanks to Polly and Constant which finally brings Asimov’s humor to the show.

    But that episode 7 of season 2 really kicked in for me. So I’m here to share. I truly hope they’ll manage to keep that writing quality.

    So I’ll quote the author I linked: « Pay your fucking writers »

    Hello Apple enthusiasts, I need your assistance for a little

    I came here to ask for a little help.

    I've been delivered an M2 Max MBP with 30 GPU Cores, but after a few tests it appears that there is an hardware problem with my machine.

    I contacted Apple Care and they will send me someone to replace the Mac, since they agreed with me that there was a problem.

    To reveal the issue I realized a benchmark from the Apple promoted browserserbench.org named MotionMark. The benchmark is aimed at testing graphic capabilities.

    My request is simple. Could any of you that own an M1 Max or an M2 Max realize that benchmark in Safari (that part is essential) and communicate me the results you get? The test is a bit long, about five minutes.

    Thank you vey much!

    EDIT:

    Alright guys, I've got an update.

    First of all, thank you so much for your answers!

    Second, since you were giving the same results as I found I decided to run some other graphic tests to compare with other similar machines and didn't find any issue. I used Blender Benchmark and Geekbench Metal compute and get same or better results as average on a M2 Max with 30 GPU cores.

    I think there might be a software issue with the last version of macOS regarding graphic capabilities on the Web. Another reason could be hardware, as M chips have dedicated JavaScript processing units that could have limited connection with the GPU.

    Anyway, thank you all very much. I'm gonna cancel that replacement and start enjoying my new beast.

    Cheers!

    Is there a way to disable the constant refresh of Lemmy's homepage

    I love Lemmy so far, but the constant refresh of the feed in the homepage is unbearable.

    I constantly click on the wrong links, get warnings from my browser that the website uses too much energy, the console is a constant flow of logs.

    I thought it was a bug that would be rapidly fixed, but I'm beginning to fear it might actually be a (really bad) feature.

    Please tell me a fix is coming, or there is a way to change that.

    Jean-Luc Picard's perfect British accent means that at some point in the future, Britts will invade France. Again.

    Hello Lemmies! French Trekkie here.

    I tried to post this ages ago on the other site and wasn't able to do so. But I am the king of the World now.

    So, about my post I guess I'm not the first to notice, but it genuinely came to me when I was taking a shower, and we are here for a fresh start, aren't we?

    PS: I'm fine with the Britts invading France as long as you keep your food and your monarchy on your island.

    EDIT: words were missing
