I may be mistaken but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a French guy painted in black. However I don’t think it’s in anyway related to historical reasons, it’s mostly because it looks dumb and out of place.
Transferring your argument to the Sevilla parade where black faces were the norm last week, I believe they played a relatively minor role in the slave trade. And I have not seen a single black guy in the street the duration I was there, apart from one frenchman.
Great explanation, thank you very much!
Thanks for explaining. I never understood the American outrage about cultural appropriation but it’s just about respecting sacred symbols from other cultures? Sounds about right, please feel free to dress as a Frenchman with beret and baguette as long as you respect our no-tipping policy.
Next item to discover on my list: why are Americans so upset about “black face”. And that’s what I witnessed in Sevilla (Spain) recently which did not seem racist to me at all: https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2023/01/05/polemica-espana-blackface-reyes-magos-trax/
Unfortunately yes.
I’m a minority: I’m using Signal a lot, as well as Mastodon and Lemmy. However I was describing the situation around me and they’re largely using Meta products.
I don’t mind having 2 tools: one for public conversations with strangers and one for family and friends.
WhatsApp has replaced Facebook for family and friends here in France. However, I keep using Facebook due to local groups and town hall posting there.
Any chance the videos are hosted somewhere else than TikTok?
Thanks. That’s too bad because I really want them to succeed
I will not do any gaming on my laptop, I really only need a quality screen to read documents and display the occasional Netflix video
While I like the general objectives behind framework, I am not convinced about their standard qualities.
My laptop is fine, I just want to understand the trends in the industry and where to buy when it eventually dies. For the record, I have a Dell Latitude 7410 released in 2020 (bought used) and it works perfectly. However, I wish I could have better audio, higher-quality trackpad, and a lighter laptop.
Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure they (FN / RN) will leverage on his death to gain voters.
I was under the impression they were more gaming oriented than “business”, am I mistaken then?
Dear random strangers,
I have bought Thinkpad T for many years following your advice. Then I moved to Dell Latitude 3 years ago as this was your recommendation. So far, very happy with them!
Where should I go for my next laptop? Is it time for framework?
(I’m looking for 14" business laptops, excellent screen, good audio, light and solid, performance is a nice-to-have, Linux-only)
Same for Reddit, still very much alive apparently.
(I’m not going back, I’m happy here)
Sorry I just realised I was wrong and I did not have the menu bar by default.
I don’t really notice it anymore…
Are you talking about the 2 bars at the top of the window? If yes, I find them more useful than the used space. Probably a matter of taste
I think some Fediverse mods are more extreme and biased than their equivalent on Reddit.
For example, criticizing the anti-men stance (as in: nothing to do with feminism) promoted by jlai.lu admins for example got me my ban. My first ever ban despite being very active on Reddit for 10 years prior to migrating to Lemmy.
Smaller communities do feel like an echo chamber as a consequence.
PS: sh.itjust.works admins do look fine though!
I couldn’t find a problem for which I needed IA as a solution. It may happen in the future though.
Well I can be quite clueless you know 😂 No need for hyperbole there, we’re not on Twitter
