He might be attempting Rally around the flag effect using the threat of rising far right power to gain more seats for his own party in the French parliament. Probably hoping voters of other parties / dormant voters to rally for the vote.

Same, I have tried DDG every once in a while but kept going back to google. Now google search doesn’t quite give me relevant results anymore and all the AI crap just takes all of their effort to work on search itself.

Been using DDG for a few weeks now for personal and work related stuff - quite happy with it.

Don’t know whether you mean that as a joke, but I can tell you it is very real thing world wide still.

Didn’t know there is a comic version of his meditations, that is cool! Thanks for the tip, have to check that one out.

I also use lemmy (voyager app is awesome) but kbin also has an awesome app called Artemis, which got inspired by apollo for reddit.

Didn’t know about this project, thanks for the tip!

Loved Kbin, but yeah the slow development made me come back to lemmy as well.

This could also be it, but startup phase for 10 years? I mean that would be believable if it wasn’t for the size of the team.

I started thinking about how much they’d actually make with this monetization scheme, but they employ 6 software developers and have a team of 4 in the upper management. The company has been running for 10 years with this single product.

Now I really feel stupid, didn’t check Play Store… thanks a bunch!

Wait what? What happens in jan 2024?

Edit: ah, unity’s new install based pricing.

Yup. I had never heard of the fediverse and so glad I got introduced to it with the added benefit of many others doing so as well (so there is content and activity here).

Can vouch for this method, I did something similar and just updated my email on services in order of my entries in password manager.

There are two spiders hanging out on my bathroom ceiling. One above the toilet and the other above the shower. The problem is that the one above the toilet has disappeared.

God damnit.

Thanks for telling me about Voyager, I feel like I finally found the app for me!

Former mechanical design engineer checking in as well: can confirm, the engineer’s fault here.

You don’t just design it just to work, a hobbyist can do that.

Edit: Not saying I have never made a mistake, everyone makes mistakes. And of course in a proper (especially big) design department someone always cross checks your work, so there must’ve been multiple people to blame. But mistakes happen and that alone is no reason to fire someone.

In my first job a senior told me that you will experience making an expensive mistake and that it’ll be a good lesson (I did).

Thanks!

Same, I’m open to anything basically. Enjoying lemmy :)

Now is a good time to try out things, maybe daily threads work better for some people?

And good point! I also sadly forget to check new comments…

Couple of thoughts:

Casual Conversation was a nice community on reddit and it might make it easier for people coming from reddit to find familiar communities in Lemmy. But your point about activity is good, makes it easier to come to lemmy if you see more activity.

As I understood !general@lemmy.world can have also serious and controversial topics and it has way more posts with links, while here the emphasis on posts is to make a text post.

Not for or against merging to general, just adding my thoughts :)

Edit: clarification and typo fix.

Long time ago I heard/read somewhere that true happiness/happy life/being in general happy at all times is not possible and people who are not in a great place get frustrated by never achieving this and seeing that it feels like everyone else has something they don’t.

What true happiness often seems to be (for most happy people) is actually being content

Happiness comes from being content with your life, not constant feeling of joy. When you are content with your life and situation, you’ll enjoy your life more. You’ll be “happy” with your life. And if you are content with your life you suddenly enjoy small things that add up to it.

I’m probably not explaining this very well, but hope you get something out of this comment!
