But I like Nintendo consoles for their couch-multiplayer games. Like Wii-sport, Boom-blox, Just Dance, Mario party, Mario kart…

A Steam-deck is good for single players games.

In Europe, we changed to the Euro not that long ago. I was a student and I used to use a shared laundry machine. It was the day before returning to school. I was barely alone in the dorms. Let’s do a laundry !

The machines were updated to get euros. There was another machine just to change the coins, especially since the washing machines only took one kind of coin (20 cents).

I put one fresh euro in the exchange machine, expecting to get 5 coins of 20 cents.

Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>… Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>… Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>…

What ?! The machine was buggy and would not stop. I grabbed a hoodie to put the coins in it. Soon, it was not enough. After what seems to be an eternity I was there with around 50€ and kilos of coins.

And Barbie. What a spin-off !

There are some of these pumps in France. It infuriates me. The sound is horrible.

“When the Reddit admins figured out that a large portion of the site is now bots”

In foreign languages like in French, there was a trend, launched by the admins themselves. It was to replicate English communities by translating the posts. It was obvious that it was dumb automated translations since there were cultural references that could not be translated. I know it because I was the owner of such a community and it was sad. My small community had a spirit. After the bots, the community was bland.

Another question related to your answer : how can I guarantee that the content I create (comments) are available for scraping ?

The issue I have with Reddit and all is that we can’t freely access to the content, especially the past content. I don’t want instances to be sold in like 10 years, compromising access to old content (or with advertising in them). I would like to be able to replicate one rogue instance into a new free instance.

WE DID IT RE… LEMMY!

No, that’s not that clear for the moment.

Let me explain the French case :

• Webedia is a big company that owns most of the famous French websites (jeuxvideo.com , etc.). All these websites have cookie walls with an alternative : a paid subsription. What they say, is that the website is now accessible with subscription only. However, if you accept cookies, you’ll get a discount (free access).
• The CNIL (a big French governemental entity) tried to forbid this. If someone reports a website, it’s for this entity to take action. There is no need to report Webedia, the CNIL knows already :-)
• The Conseil d’Etat (juridical entity of the French gov) said that “non”, it’s OK for Webedia to use such paywalls. The CNIL can’t forbid Webedia to use them.
• The CNIL asked the jusrists at the European level… here we are. We still don’t know.

Here is a French website where the CNIL explains this :
https://www.cnil.fr/fr/cookie-walls-la-cnil-publie-des-premiers-criteres-devaluation

There are multiple French websites that do this. It is legal (otherwise these websites would not do this anymore, it’s been a while).
There is a popup asking you if you consent to get cookies (for advertisement). If you say “no”, it leads you to another popup with two choices :

• Change your decision and accept cookies
• Pay for a premium service without advertisements

For me it’s any Point and Click games. Nothing seems obvious.

The first days are indeed really short. You have to upgrade your tools and your player to have days long enough to explore. It is still a limiting factor for big explorations. You have to pack your stuff. I can understand that it can be unfun.

Aviation is now mostly full automatic. On the otehr hand, there are tons of beacons to help it.

That’s a great idea to have these comments for the posterity.
To my lawyer in the future :

“Everything I could have wrote in reddit about pirating was a lie to get upvotes. Don’t take any of it seriously.”

This post aged like good sine.

There are small subreddits that are definitively private now. But only very small ones.

When you think about it with 3 instances, it’s fun and strange.

Imagine 3 instances. lemmy.world / beehaw.org / lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Now call them A, B and C.

Now A and B defederates.
Accounts on A can’t see content published on B anymore. And can’t publish on these “forums” (communities/magazines…)
And accounts on B can’t see content published on A anymore. And can’t publish on these forums.

However, an account on C can see everything and publish anywhere !

You should consider your account as a passport. The instance/country delivering you the passport is important, since it gives you permissions/visas. If everyone in your instance is behaving like shit, your instance will be defederated and you’ll loose permissions/visas to be able to browse other instances.

Well. That’s a joke. The current icon is ugly but it’s for the /r/Place event.
