French Ambassador to Niger Itte and other diplomatic staff being held "hostage" and forced to eat military rations at French Embassy (English translation)
  • kurogane kurogane Now 97%

    The article is a little weird. This is my interpretation, need to look for other sources.

    President says that the ambassador is "taken hostage, literally".
    Military in Niger wants him out of the country, but French government says that his work is too valuable, he must stay.
    Military says " OK, but he can't leave the embassy, Persona Non Grata".

    Technically the ambassador has either choice of leaving the country or staying inside the embassy. Food is not delivered anymore, leaving him with military rations to eat.

    The French variant of the article says that there is only military rations left to eat at the embassy.
    But your post kind of implies that the French embassador is "force fed" military rations? This is a very weird way to translate it.

    Nope, autistic burnout. Is the reason I stayed, for someone genuinely struggling.

    I didn't like the situation, but I still did it because I liked the relationship. I see where is the misunderstanding now. My bad, and thank you

    They would stop replying to any message, be overall unreachable, ghosting me when we planned a getaway at that date.
    I assumed they needed space. I'm fine with respecting boundaries, even if it stings nonetheless when you miss them.

    But stopping literally existing out of the blue?
    How much time do you need? Days, weeks? Should I wait for you to contact me? Should we cancel this weekend?
    No way to get an answer. No, nothing.
    Just toss a coin and try to find out.

    This is an interesting take, and I learnt from it. Would you mind sharing one or two of your references?
    I had a heated discussion the other day on this topic, and I wish to know more.
    On the other hand, I don't really understand your statement that nobody is seriously building reactor lately.
    China has started building new reactors. They are not planning but effectively doing it. Am I missing something?

    Super, a la fois succinct et instructif. J'ajouterais seulement un mini paragraphe pour expliquer ce qu'est la fédération. On ne fait pas forcément le rapprochement entre la notion que Lemmy est fédéré, et le système des instances. Je chippote un peu, le reste est impeccable (a mon humble opinion).

    Je suis honnêtement curieux de l'avis de la communauté au sujet de cette vidéo, parce que je suis pas mal out of the loop en matière de réseaux sociaux. Avant de regarder la vidéo, je ne connaissais ni lun ni l'autre de ces individus.
    Je sais que donner mon avis avant d'avoir celui des autres aurait influencé les réactions.

    Sans avoir regardé, est-ce que ça parle de libertés volés au nom de l’environnement ? Est-ce que les médias sont accusées de censure ? Ils disent peut être que c’est hypocrite d’interdire les vols par avion ?

  • kurogane kurogane Now 66%

    J'ai trouvé qu'on ne pouvait pas passer à côté de la satire, tant le texte est rempli de clichés de "homme écrit femme". C'en était si absurde que ça ma fait rire.

    Ce stéréotype est couramment ridiculisé sur internet, si bien que des communautés internet existent pour recueillir des textes clichés de " homme qui écrit femme".
    Le côté satire peut être bien perçu par les femmes, parce qu'il se joue des clichés habituels qui font rouler des yeux.
    D'autant que par ailleurs, si nous commençons a faire bloc de certains essais, on risque d'homogénéiser les écritures.
    Ce n'est que mon avis, je le reconnais.

    Est-ce que demander a l'auteur d'écrire un avertissement que le texte est une tentative de mettre en ridicule le bon vieux stéréotype de "homme écrit femme" serait une bonne alternative ?

    I don't remember which, but on one of my flights, we were distributed eye masks with different colors on each side. If you were wearing the red color on the outside, it meant that you wanted to be left alone. Smart and yey, free eye mask!

  • I've been looking across the internet, up, down, front, and back. No clue. Let say two artists put their work together and want to add a donation banner on the webpage of their collaboration. For example, a singer shares their music with a video maker. First, they agree on an arbitrary share for future donations. Like 50%/50% or 75%/25%, etc. They may not know each other well, they may live in two separate continents. Is there any platform or api allowing this? - Once the share is agreed upon, an artist can not change it without the approval of both. - The platform shouldn't be bound to a country (for example Stripe cannot accept international donations, unless the artists are in the US). - I may be wishing for Santa Claus, but a privacy-friendly solution would be awesome. Any idea appreciated, I've been drying my a$$ off for weeks on this one.

    I can see the difference in engagement between the subreddit and this community. I'm wondering out loud what we could do to motivate a migration from there to here.

    I used Trelent, an extension for VS code that didn't require any registration, but their server has been unresponsive for a while. Any alternative you would recommend? My code is in Python, mostly. Edit: I wasn't clear on my intention. I was looking for a tool that would lay out a generic description so I would start from something and fine tune the explanation. I am incredibly bad at documenting, the process is tedious and frustrating. At the end of the day, my explanations are mostly gibberish anyway. From your general consensus, I should bite the bullet and do it by myself. I really appreciate your feedback, point taken. Time to psych myself up with some death metal and get it over with.
