In the 90s, as a kid in Quebec, I thought racism, sexism, homophobia were all things of the past. Boy was I naive.

Europeans are pretty active on this mater. I’m always amaze by how much people go to bistro bin France and Belgium. I think this applies to pub in England too. In Quebec, I think it was morr common in the 60, 70 and earlier and fade away with the importance TV and later the Internet took in people’s home. Now when I go back to some small cities that use to have pretty active downtowns in the late 90s and 200Os, it’s absolutely dead. The only bars that survive have a crowd of people in their 40s and more. It use be full of young people, but now I guess they just "flix and chill’…


I dont understand the use people make of AI. I know a lot of of professionnal composer who are like “That’s awesome, AI does the music for me now!” and I’m like, cool, now you only have the boring part of the job to do since the fun part was made by AI. Creating the music is litteraly the only fun part, I hate everything around it.


You have no idea how deep the education system is now into gafam. To study in Quebec now, you absolutly need a cell phone with ms authenticator, teams is basically mandatory, etc. I’m one of the only teacher at my college that cares enough to show use and show foss alternative to my students. For example Moodle is the most powerfull tool a teacher could dream of for grades, quizz, file sharing, assigments, etc. Yet most teachers prefer ms bullshit suite for everything…


No matter what your opinion on fb is, each time I do my presentation, it’s the main thing people ask me for. To my suprise, even my students in their young 20s are using it a lot, and it’s the main platform for people over 40. Billion of people uses it everyday so I wouldn’t call it has-been. If we could bring even a small percentage of these people to the fedi, it would destabilise the economic model social media is based on. I’m not saying I like fb, I actually never have, but we can’t pretend people are over with it.


I havent tried it in the recent years. Is it coming togheter? Like with groups, events, etc?


I personally never had a single issue with it, speed, reliability etc. It integrates in FF and has standalone app for macOS, linux, win. android, but I remember reading some mixed reviews too.


I try to find the worst cherry pie in town. I go back 24 hours and hope its now the best cherry pie in town or something.


I got surfshark for 2 years and gave it to all my relatives, it as unlimited machines.


The comments here are full of dicks.


I cant imagine my childhood baths without that little guy to play with. Peekaboo!


At that point, anyone who post on Lemmy is probably considered a terrorist. No way I’m ever stepping foot in the US ever again, and I live an hour from the border.
Is it like some FOSS Tiktok alternative?


Ir’s a new world, designed for and by rich people. They plan to replace most of us with AI and automation, and want us to fight each to the death until 70% of the population is gone.


I work in a technology field and I’m interested in “not AI” stuff. It’s a wild ride.


I like how it’s now that there’s almost nothing left that western countries chose to recognize the Palestinian state. “Let’s just wait until they have finished exterminating the population before we told them it’s wrong to exterminate the population. Surely history will remember us as the good guys, we’re Canadian after all.”


Wish I could cancel but I was never a subscriber to begin with.
Stop giving money to those facsists-friendly business. Use stremio, and begin by stopping to watch stupid american content. Don’t use Amazon, they hate you, people where just fine just a few years ago, before all that crap. We are legions, we could destroy their entire economy within 48 hours if we really wanted.


Oh right, thanks. So everyone’s fine with the current administration I guess. My bad and good luck the pedo-dictatorship.


I’m Canadian and I don’t feel safe either. It’s a new era of global fascism and surveillance, most of us wont be safe anywhere. Call me paranoid, but I’m already working on a escape and I wont ever disclose details online. Crazy times.
