  • I did not see any racist comments for quite some time. But xenophobic comments were common on threads about Ukraine’s invasion.

    The anti-French sentiment is also present here like in the whole English speaking web.

    The French aren’t known for their hygiene so I am not surprised their river is filthy

    In Belgium: Tartare or Mayo. Andalouse for the gal, thanks In the UK: Salt and Vinegar In both cases: I will have to change seat if you plop yourself in front of me with your poor fries inundated by ketchup. Only the French do that, and it is a Casus Belli in my book.

  • Could we have the whole context please?

    Why are you, a 25-year old, without driving licence in a car dependant zone? What do you do as a job? Do you have friends? Do you have hobby where you meet people?

    You sound like a prisonner at your mother’s house and your date sounds like a little issue compared to the everything else (like loneliness, no freedom to go where you please, maybe no occupation?, vulnerability to your family ….)

  • Hahaha, l’influence de la Belgique est croissante en France. Depuis quelques années, on y boit des bières bien meilleures, la mayonnaise maison se généralise dans les restaurants de burgers et le gouvernement est devenu optionnel.

  • I self host a nextcloud service on my old desktop that serves as a server but every now and then the updates crash something. Sharing calendar and notes is too complicated if you don’t have a vps or a domain.

    Self hosting is a pain imo. You can pay a small cloud provider with nextcloud. There is a middle ground between big tech and self hosting.

  • Cleanliness test were also made just before the race. The article from apnews talks about them. I could only find french newspaper talking about it but the "heavy rainfalls" seemed NOT to be a problem.

    L'orage de mardi soir "n'est pas passé loin", a admis mercredi le préfet de région Marc Guillaume, mais "il n'a pas plu sur la zone d'épreuves". En cas de précipitations intenses, de l'eau non traitée peut être rejetée dans le fleuve, un phénomène que les ouvrages de rétention inaugurés juste avant les Jeux ont vocation à empêcher. (https://www.europe1.fr/sport/jo-paris-2024-la-qualite-de-leau-de-la-seine-tres-bonne-lors-des-epreuves-de-triathlon-4260748)

    Tuesday evening's thunderstorm "was a close call", admitted regional prefect Marc Guillaume on Wednesday, but "it didn't rain on the event zone". In the event of heavy rainfall, untreated water can be discharged into the river, a phenomenon that the retention structures inaugurated just before the Games are designed to prevent.

  • If she got sick from the swim, she got unlucky because the bacteria levels were "very good". She probably got sick from somewhere else.

    It was not E. coli that made her sick, she wrote, adding that she sought treatment at a clinic in the Olympic Village on Sunday after several days of vomiting and diarrhea “left me quite empty.”

    World Triathlon said the bacteria levels last week when the individual triathlon events were held were considered “very good” and that the levels were also within acceptable limits during Monday’s triathlon mixed relay event.

  • I am not in the US. I don't like to buy second hand smartphone in my country. It is either overpriced or straight up junk, be it in the local equivalent of craiglist or in specialized store. However, It is the solution I would prefer if I can get a spare phone from someone I know (given or bought). But I have not been lucky yet. Most people I know use their phone untill they stop working or there is no sd card.

  • This blog compare them all regarding privacy: https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/email

    Using your own domain name is the most important as it allows you to change provider if they ever make a change you do not like or go bankrupt. In this regard, I think that the best is posteo or a smaller provider you know near your place (https://www.chatons.org/en).

  • Proton does have open-source bridges/proxies, so they aren’t hiding these details from us

    The issue I talked about was not privacy-wise. It just suck to have to use a package that is not in debian repository just to receive commercial emails. Updates are a pain. And it is the kind of software that people should keep up-to-date.

    Proton emails are stored in an encrypted form that goes beyond the simple authentication that is part of the POP/IMAP specifications

    Ok, let's talk about privacy. Email will never be secure because it was not designed to be and there are too many issues.

    The subject line and other metadata are not encrypted. (from protonmail website). Most of the people use email to register to accounts and for commercial communications, where all valuables informations are in the object of the email.

    There are more private way to communicate with people (like xmpp or matrix for example)

    We kill people based on metadata. Well metadata encryption are pretty important.

    So giving up convenience for 0 security sucks.

    Perhaps Thunderbird could be enhanced to support the Proton features directly?

    It would be great if there were an add-on for it. If someone knows how to develop it, please do it, it would improve UX a lot.

    But it does not solve the issue completely. On mobile, the issue is still there (I know they have an app but I would prefer to have all my email at the same place). Also, if I want to use nextcloud mail, you have to developp an addon for nextcloud now.

    Edit: changed the link for the alternative piped link suggested.
