Mère C’est D’aisse ?

10 years ago, Couchsurfing was like this, I don’t know how it evolved since then

Braflix is awesome, it’s my default go-to

Zen Browser, love the split view feature, and native vertical tabs !

Oh wow thanks for the correction, I’ll edit my comment

Most open source projects will have a donation page / link, so it relies on people feeling compelled to donate because the software provided is useful to them.

Lemmy for example has options for financially supporting its development. Some Lemmy instances also feature a link to a donation page to cover the hosting costs.

Some have an organisation behind it, like Firefox has the Mozilla Foundation to finance it. Actually it’s the other way around, see ahal’s comment below

The team behind VLC has a “for profit” branch that adapts the video software for companies, allowing them to also finance VLC’s development in addition to donations.

From the about page it looks like it’s a non profit that does not enforse or support candidates or parties, they claim to only try and work on erasing the barriers between voters and the act of voting

Well, in a way it doesn’t cost them anything because it’s already being broadcast on TV for free, since it’s the national / public TV

But also, I’m french and I despise having to give away my email to access “free” things so I just enjoy providing them with the most ridiculous emails, good luck with that database, fellow countryman 😈

I mentioned this in another thread : you can go to France Television’s website and sign up with a bogus email (there’s no check) to watch live broadcasts and replays for free !

One user pointed out to me that they may geoblock you, so a VPN would be recommended.

And then obviously it’s gonna be in french, which definitely isn’t ideal if you don’t speak the language lol

But do you really need update from Google if you’re planning on installing a custom rom ? Genuine question, I thought your security updates would be handled by /e/ or graphene or whatever you choose

can you be more specific what you’re talking about ?

I’d like more smaller scale projects and events to foster a sense of community, canvas is coming up and it will be a good test to see the dedication and activity of communities in the fediverse

Food !

Mmm petit déjeuner

President =/= Prime minister in France

The president is elected during the presidential elections, he then appoints (a nomination) his prime minister, who will be the head of the government, and in turn nominates his ministers.

It is common (but not the law) to appoint a prime minister that is from the party that has the parliament majority (through parliament elections that happen after the presidential elections)… Or whenever the president dissolves the parliament prompting new parliament elections. This is what happened here after the results of the European elections).

If the parliament disagrees with the nominated prime minister, they can hold a “No confidence vote” which forces the nomination of a new prime minister if it passes. So it’s not easy to be prime minister because you have to be “accepted” by the parliament. iirc last year the left tried 3 times to vote a no confidence in the previous prime minister, and was very close to succeed every time.

Usually the president is in charge of international affairs, and the prime minister of the national affairs, but we french have a hard on for king-like figures of state, so the president is kind of seen as the most important person in the government. The prime minister is mostly just his lap dog, a yes man that follows his orders 🥲

Ah shit, didn’t think about that, sorry

I believe they should be broadcast by the national public television (France Television) which you can watch live on https://france.tv/ ; that’s if you don’t mind french lol

They may ask for an account but there’s no email check, just type whatever and you can watch it

That’s super interesting, I do remember being taught as a kid how to use Google Image search (circa 2005), Gimp for photo manipulation around the age of 12 in 2008, we had technology classes with electronics, technical drawing, even some plastic bending machine, and light programming (made a robot figurine execute recorded moves in sequence)

I do wonder if it’s still the case in my own country
