I hated sea food as a kid, and still mostly do, but now I can stand shrimps and mussels.

And vegetables too, like a lot of people (apart from pumpkins and stuff like that, those are still nightmare for me)

Lordi, j'avais énormément de mp3 de ce groupe parce qu'on m'en avait passé, et j'en ai du coup beaucoup écouté avant d'apprendre à faire mes mp3 moi même ^^'

J'en ai réécouté récemment dans la voiture d'une amie, ça m'a fait un petit retour en arrière aussi

Same in France during WWII, centrist and a good part of the socialists gave full power to far-right military dictatorship

So yeah, some people in France would need a quick recap of the past century history

That lies on the the other side of the libertarian spectrum, the anti-capitalist one, which you can call anarchy to avoid confusion. Does not really match your meme that keeps the capitalist aspect of income as a key concept. Anarchy and (capitalist) libertarianism are really incompatible, since one fights against capital and the other fights for it. In french we distinguish those two philosophies with two words, libertaire (anarchist) and libertarien (libertarian). Since it does not exist in English, i strongly recommend you use Anarchism or social Libertarianism when you want to mean anti-capitalist Libertarianism, it helps avoid the confusion.

Most of the ones I used are in french, either puns on celebrities' names or cultural references My favourite one is Captain Haddock saying "I do find that funny" with a very serious face Captain Haddock saying "I do find this funny"

Hi ! I have no definitive answer but i can give you some infos there

In french, the word "tendre" translates well to "to tend", as both describe something that is preferred but not mandatory or necessary.

In this context, it seems indeed a bit strange. But, from the basic and general knowledge I have of french laws, "tendre" is not a specific word of the legal jargon, so I think the meaning implied here is the common meaning, which is quite the same as "to tend". Someone with better knowledge of the french legal jargon could rectify me though.

From what i studied of french laws, public service is considered very important, and can lead to arbitrary infringements of private and personal property (like building roads or railways, it is mandatory to compensate owners of properties affected, but not really to have their consent). So "tends" could be the real meaning here, like "it's better if you can get owner's consent, but as you are building a service for everyone to use, you can do it without owner's consent".

It's been some years since I learned all of this, so I might be wrong or it might be outdated.

I get that there is lot more nuances than russo-ukrainian, but imo there is a lot more similarities than you seem to imply : both Russia and Israel claimed that the land belonged to them before, that they should get it back, and use violence to kill local people who tried to resist or move them. The only difference is that Israel did it with the help of western countries and partially according to their laws, so they get like an aura of legitimity, but the acts remains quite close.

I do not like when people basically do not accept violent behavior but accepts them when they are allowed by some law or authority.

(Also yes Hamas is doing bad things and should be held accountable in some way, just like Ukraine to my eyes. But still, for me it remains obvious who kills more, who steals more, who oppresses more)

Well that's a 50/50 on the "not targeting any single religion/group" since they accept crosses that are not too big, meaning necklaces and earrings (at least in my experience). And since christian people tend not to wear specific attire except for cross-shaped jewelry, it's like a whole exception just for them. I also think that the abaya thing is a sign that they really fight against Muslims, since it is more cultural than religious,. But yeah, you're kinda right in the sens that they just harass every other religions than cristians in general, and would probably ban a christian with a huge cross on a shirt too.

[-] Takapapatapaka@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

The main problem with this subject is that the abaya is not a religious clothing strictly speaking. It is not enforced by any muslim sacred text, a lot of muslim women do not wear it, whereas non-muslim women wear it. It is rather typical from the arabic culture than from the muslim religion (it originated from bedouin culture in the first place).

Here in France people are mad about secularism because of an old hate of Christian Church, but nowadays it is rather used to discriminate jews and muslims. (At school, yarmulke and headscarf are banned, but christian crosses are allowed if they're not too big. Every day i saw people in school with christian crosses around the neck or as earrings, and no one bothered them, while they were harassing girls with a headscarf.)

Imo here the government is just creating a new debate on a stupid question, just to scare people about muslims and give hard right politicians a bone to chew, as they always do. While everyone talks and is afraid about what teenagers could wear, people talk less about the other laws they are passing, for having more control over Internet or whatever they want.

Ok, if you want some info here is a little summary :

  • Banning people condamned for bullying/hate speech from every social media they used for it
  • Blocking websites (mostly porn) without judge's approval, both physically and by forcing navigators/DNS to block it
  • More ID checking to "protect minor"

And if you want details :

The current proposition of law is a melting pot of many Internet security subjects :

  • preventing children to access porn
  • punishing websites that host pedo porn harder
  • punishing deepfake and ai generated montage (and montages in general)
  • preventing hate speech and violent speech in all social media, including chat applications
  • regulating the market of cloud storage providers
  • regulating gambling and real-money video games
  • preventing phishing

They have different actions at their disposal :

  • Fines for website admins who do not comply
  • Forcing websites to check people's identity to prevent minor accessing harming content
  • Forcing websites to ban some accounts suspected of illegal activity
  • Forcing websites to try and block a suspected person (not the user) from using/creating any accounts on their website (for max. 6 months to 1 year)
  • Forcing navigators, DNS providers and Internet compagnies to block any access to a specific domain for max 3 months, if this domain does not comply in (short) time to the administration instructions
  • Forcing websites to mention the name and adress of any person or company that host their content
  • Forcing apps markets to remove an app that does not comply to the administration instructions
  • It would be mandatory for vpn ads to always display a message that says something like "Pirating contents harms artistic creation" (does not have a lot to do with the rest, but it find it interesting anyway)
  • It would be mandatory for any content sharing website to stock datas enabling the identification of anyone who participated in the content creation
  • Easier police raid in places where content is hosted (no judge approval needed, they just get notified of the raid)

Now, i did not hear from this subject a lot, mostly for the pornography part since we probably soon will have to show ID cards to watch porn. I remember that everytime there are more or less violent protests, government says it originates from social media and that they have to control social media to prevent violences. Most politicians i heard on this seem to not fully understand what is at stake, which is kinda usual.

I'm not an expert but i learned about this at university one or two years ago. I'm not entirely sure of what i'm saying though, so take my word carefully and feel free to correct me.

From what i recall -and i think at least in western europe, i don't know for other places-, before photography, it was quite expensive to get a portrait or a family portrait, mostly because of the time needed to pose. So it was something only nobles or rich bourgeois family could afford.

Then photography was invented. At first, it was mostly an amateur hobby : you had to be a handy(wo)man to get all the components needed, and in first times even to build your own device. There were no schools, no official degree, knowledge only passed from person to person.

So first "professional" photographers (i mean the first one to get paid) were not exactly professionals, most had no previous clients, or anything. Of course, their prices were much low than painters, so increasing number of people came to their shop. But it was for the most part "new" customers, middleclass people or families, would previously could not afford paintings.

So at first, they did not really stole painters' jobs, they rather extended access to portraits to a new part of population. Now, when it became more popular, the less rich clients of painters tend to switch to photography : it felt modern, it was a kind of trend, and it was cheaper.

At that point, some of the painter's client disappeared. But there were mostly two situations : big and renowned painters still got jobs, because noble people kind of considered photography a thing for common people. Modest painters, who had client amongst bourgeois, began to lose their jobs. I think that a part of them switched to photography at that point : i also think this is were photo editing began, because they could use their painter/drawer skills to erase or slightly modify the picture when it wasn't "dry" (don't know the specifics of photography at that time ^^').

So overall, if you compare like the XVII century and nowadays, of course painters lost their jobs. But from what i (think i) know, transition was pretty smooth, as it let time to painters to continue to paint for upper classes or to convert to photographers.

I pretty much agree with other people, not sure if the comparison with AI is perfect. But at least I think it might show that new techs mostly comes with two effect : replacing previous practices and creating new ones (or at least opening them to new people).

Hey there everyone !

I recently got a Huawei p20 to replace my old dumbphone.

I don't need most of a smartphone capabilities : no need for emails, GPS, discussion apps and common social apps (Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok, ...) What I really need are SMS and calls, and I also like having a camera, a local agenda, a sound recorder and a notepad.

This new phone is pretty cool, and do what I want perfectly, but there is a lot of things that I dont need (un-uninstallable google and huawei apps, and a bunch of other functions). I also lack some options (no true dark mode, and navigation is not intuitive for me).

I recently learned that it is possible to change a smartphone's OS, and switch to opensources options, like LineageOS or GrapheneOS. If i understood, it could help with my experience, with the device's performance, and with the privacy/data sending (this is not my priority but i'm always happy if i can avoid generating data for corporations).

I searched a bit, but it seems that some options like GrapheneOS are only available for Google Pixels phones, and LineageOS has only unmaintained options for P20 Pro and P20 Lite (mine is just P20). I also searched for ParanoidOS, ReplicantOS, DivestOS, but none of it featured P20.

I also heard about Android stock, but i could not figure what it was exactly (a basic version of Android delivered by Google ?) : it seems like it could help me improve my experience, though it surely wont do anything on the privacy/data part.

So my questions are :

  • Do you happen to know any OS that might apply to a Huawei P20 (it's a bit old now, so i guess most of options are not maintained) ?
  • Though it seems to be strongly recommended to avoid using a P20 Pro/Lite build on a P20, would it be possible ?
  • Is it a possible to replace Huawei's EMUI with "Android Stock" ? If yes, would it be good for me ?

Sorry if some of my questions are naive, i'm not well aware on this subject. Thank you for reading and have a great day !
