The article is a little weird. This is my interpretation, need to look for other sources.

President says that the ambassador is "taken hostage, literally".
Military in Niger wants him out of the country, but French government says that his work is too valuable, he must stay.
Military says " OK, but he can't leave the embassy, Persona Non Grata".

Technically the ambassador has either choice of leaving the country or staying inside the embassy. Food is not delivered anymore, leaving him with military rations to eat.

The French variant of the article says that there is only military rations left to eat at the embassy.
But your post kind of implies that the French embassador is "force fed" military rations? This is a very weird way to translate it.

I'd play the hell out of this videogame.

I don't remember which, but on one of my flights, we were distributed eye masks with different colors on each side. If you were wearing the red color on the outside, it meant that you wanted to be left alone. Smart and yey, free eye mask!

In Muay Thai, when your opponent tries to throw a knee, they hold the back of your neck and pull you.
A knee to the stomach or plexus is really powerful, so you have to act fast.
The best defense in those cases is to hold the back of their neck in return, pull them closer so that they cannot strike, and try to throw a knee first.
It ends up with a play of the two opponents holding each other and trying to throw a knee while closing the distance.
And most likely ends up in the dead lock or "hugging" that we see in match.

I'm sure there are other techniques that involve this holding in MMA. Forbidding it would remove those techniques from the game.

I've been looking across the internet, up, down, front, and back. No clue.

Let say two artists put their work together and want to add a donation banner on the webpage of their collaboration. For example, a singer shares their music with a video maker.
First, they agree on an arbitrary share for future donations. Like 50%/50% or 75%/25%, etc.
They may not know each other well, they may live in two separate continents.

Is there any platform or api allowing this?

  • Once the share is agreed upon, an artist can not change it without the approval of both.
  • The platform shouldn't be bound to a country (for example Stripe cannot accept international donations, unless the artists are in the US).
  • I may be wishing for Santa Claus, but a privacy-friendly solution would be awesome.

Any idea appreciated, I've been drying my a$$ off for weeks on this one.

Without going into too much details, I'd say that I am in a situation reeaaaaaaaaaally close to yours. You may feel invisible, but I see you. Thank you for sharing.

I used Trelent, an extension for VS code that didn't require any registration, but their server has been unresponsive for a while. Any alternative you would recommend?
My code is in Python, mostly.

Edit: I wasn't clear on my intention. I was looking for a tool that would lay out a generic description so I would start from something and fine tune the explanation.
I am incredibly bad at documenting, the process is tedious and frustrating. At the end of the day, my explanations are mostly gibberish anyway.
From your general consensus, I should bite the bullet and do it by myself.
I really appreciate your feedback, point taken. Time to psych myself up with some death metal and get it over with.

Brave's marketing has always made me uneasy, but it was more like a vague thought. This why I'm intrigued by your opinion. Do you have examples of their "problematic" management?

Self-hoster of a searxNG here. With docker, your can spin your own in 1 minute top. I'll never go back to any other search engine, this is the best (imho).

Jumping on the occasion to recommend the community Menslib (from /r/menslib)
!mensliberation@lemmy.ca
It is focused on the struggle of being a man in this patriarchal society, while keeping a healthy mindset and constructive conversations.

The smell of the homeless crazy person that had the habit of shitting themselves and wearing the same green winter coat even during summer. They would wander off the street every evening and you could smell their presence 30 meters away.
I remember going home every time with the smell stuck on my nostril for half an hour before I could smell anything else.
The smell was nothing I ever experienced in my whole life. I would say it was closer to cadaverine.
Its been 15 years but I can still vividly remember it.
Haunting.

As title says. Looking for a community where people can discuss their project, share resources, etc.

Sorry to hear that. But the whole thing is hilarious

I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).
