Most francophones communities are on the jlai.lu instance (Yes a Luxembourg domain but it allowed to make a pun)which is currently under maintenance. So many people use the backup community https://sh.itjust.works/c/jlailu_statut hosted here

You can try !rpg@ttrpg.network there is some D&D player there, not sure whether there is a living D&D community, but considering the main rpg community has like one post a week, I doubt a game specific magazine is alive

Doing war is unfortunately a common human activity 🤮

People do post on lemmy from Mastodon/miss key, and you can follow a lemmy community from Mastodon. It's not ergonomic but possible.

If you use mbin rather than lemmy, you can even follow Mastodon users

Already tried, both alexandrite and photon, not working either

We're still cooperating a lot with China, despite all she human rights concerns.

Some billionaire like Frenchman Bolloré are using the same strategy as Musk and Murdoch to push their propaganda and far right does well in elections

While we are a it more economically progressive than US, it's not like gay rights or drug legalisation or even abortion are widely accepted.

We need more people here, so just have some fun with us.

The big white light is used for landing.

Moreover, while it's not legally required, most airliner would turn it on when changing altitude, in order to improve other planes siftuational awarness

(I was curious when visiting family living on a hill with a view on the airport down the valley)

The whole "tech industry" naming is bulllshit, there is more technology let's say in composite used to build an aircraft wing or in a surgerical robots, than in yet another mobile app showing you ads

The whole tech sector also tend to be over evaluated on the stock market. In no world Apple is worth 3 trillion while coca cola or airbus are worth around 200 billions

Shoes and clothe are the kind of stuff where you loose a lot by buying online.

In person you can see the fabric texture and colour. Not a photo where light, camera and then your screen altered everything.

Check how well it fits. For shoes you can easily get one size less/more depending on brand/cut and even for clothe you are not a standard person so passing them in the shop tells you a lot.

You can even ask a sales person opinion to get a feedback of course they want to sell but can help you more than a chatbot

Assuming it isn't a rethoretical question : Mastodon is a micro-blogging platform (A twitter alternative) which was the first "big" platform to use Fediverse/Activity pub to decentralize (I am not sure what was created for mastodon and what was already there).

And indeed, you can follow lemmy communities from Mastodon (but the UX isn't great) or post to lemmy from Mastodon

A big change between the internet in the 90's/00's and today, is that today we don't really have this internet with "all computer being equal", we have a dozen of facebook/google/reddit/tiktok massive websites, and it's relatively easy to close one of these.

in the 90's a judge could ask an ISP to close the homepage of someone without impacting the whole internet

No, Please tell me it's not in Elon playbook ?

US money is incredibly strong, so US$ is way more interesting.

15 years after it's creation the bitcoin failed to meet the expectation of being a usable money or even "way to pay"

safe. But if it's at low altitude (<1000 ft; 330 m), then it's very easy for the flight to go sour.

When I talk about paragliding, normal people are weirded out when I tell that I am safer 1000m agl than 30m AGL. But we call the 5-50m aglthe death zone. If shit hits the fan, I have no time to react nor to pull the reserve. Lower, helmet and airbag would limit the damage,higher I can try something, but at low height you don't have much time to react and need to be 100% focused

In flight?

1. Masks would fall down
2. The crew will start an emergency descent to a breathable altitude
3. The crew will call a may day and reroute to the nearest suitable airport

in my building, owner use informal tu and first name but when talking with renter they use vous and last name.

To be fair owner see each others at owner's association meeting and have seen each other in the building for years while many renter move within 2-3 years

And for the fun fact, my owner association ordered a security audit, and the consultant recommended organizing a building/neighbour party/barbecue over installing security camera. As people knowing each other care for each other

Where is the line between being working class and not?

When thinking about where does the working class stops, it's usually about people like engineers, doctors, upper middle management who earn way more than the median income, have some saving, and tend to benefit from "right wing policies". However, it's people who would need to cut-down their lifestyle if they work-less, it may not be as drastic as blue-collar, but they'll need to work to preserve their quality of life.

When people have huge income, enough saving to make a "passive income" and could stop working tomorrow without drastically changing their lifestyle, they're definitely not working class
