But couldn’t the law be written so that a warrant once seen by the home owner must legally be considered a mandatory invitation, making the cop legally allowed to enter the home?
A 50-something French dude that’s old enough to think blogs are still cool, if not cooler than ever. I also like to write and to sketch.

J’ai fait quitter Bouygues où elle avait internet et le téléphone : la connexion était poussive avec des ralentissements réguliers. Elle payait une fortune notamment parce que Bouygues avait activé une option payante avec la méthode de crevard consistant à l’activer par défaut, demander un opt-out qui devient impossible passé un certain délai. Son abonnement mobile était surdimensionné pour ses besoins.
L’activation d’options payantes sans me demander mon avis est l’autre raison (après les pannes à répétitions et le SAV AFK) qui m’a fait quitter mon ancien opérateur (qui était aussi mon FAI… quand il marchait). Comme je disais, ce n’est jamais que mon expérience personnelle que je partage (je ne suis pas sponsorisé ;).
Le plus cocasse c’est que quelques jours après avoir mis fin à mes contarts chez eux, le SAV s’est soudainement souvenu de mon existence et que j’avais des ennuis à répétition et, dans la foulée, le support client a jugé utile de me faire des offres à répétitions pour que je revienne et pour me faire oublier mes déboires… Et là où ça deviendrait franchement marrant, si c’était pas aussi triste, c’ets que quatre ans (4 années) après avoir tout résilié et les avoir depuis longtemps zappé de ma mémoire, j’ai reçu une mise en demeure de payer pour les nouveaux boitiers que, disaient-ils, ils m’avaien envoyés à l’époque. Appel, confirmation du sipport que si, si j’avais reçu et jamais renvoyé ce machin. Je leur ai demandé de m’envoyer une copie du bon de réception que j’étais sensé avoir signé à la réception (que j’avais jamais signé). Ils ont insisté, lourdement, j’ai demandé à un pote avocat de leur envoyer une gentille bafouille. C’était il y a bien 6 ans de ça, pas la moindre nouvelle depuis.
Des guignols. Mais j’insiste, je ne fais que partager mon expérience personnelle. Rien de plus, rien de moins.
Pour ce qui est de savoir si je dépense une fortune chez l’autre. J’ai indiqué le montant exact de mes factures, chacun pourra décider.
Neither Tuta or Proton will neatly integrate with Apple Mail if you want to send/receive encrypted messages. At least the last I checked it required for Proton a separate client that was not bug free (can’t remember for tuta).
If you don’t care about encryption, you may want to consider the Swiss Infomaniak.
They have a cloud offer which includes cloud storage (1to base), calendar and email, plus the online version of MSOffice, all being hosted on their Swiss servers.
C’est que mon expérience perso, donc à prendre pour ce que ça vaut, mais je suis très satisfait de Bouygues depuis des années que j’ai quitte un certain Fkkechose (dont je trouvais le support client aussi pitoyable que la fiabilité des services). En résumé, avec Bouygues:
- ça marche bien, y a vraiment très peu de soucis. En presque 10 ans je dois compter les pannes sur les doigts d’une main, et une seule à duré plus de quelques heures. Et même quand c’est pas une panne, mais juste une question, j’hésite pas à leur demander (une fois passé l’IA d’accueil qui, elle, est casse-bonbon).
- Ici à Paris du moins, leur support client est excellent et très réactif. Par exemple (pas tout à fait pris au hasard), quand il y a 2 ou 3 semaines de ça le prestataire de mon ex ISP/opérateur mobile (Fkkechose) a décidé un vendredi fin de matinée de couper ma fibre, physiquement couper mon câble je veux dire, pour tenter d’y brancher un de ses nouveaux clients (sans succès)… J’ai apellé Bouygues tandis que l’autre guignol était encore occupé à faire ses cochonneries dans le boitier fibre de l’immeuble et, une heure plus tard, je récupérai le boitier de dépannage 4G pour garder un accès Web jusqu’au lundi matin suivant, à 9h30, quand leur technicien a commencé à réparer les conneries de l’autre. Bilan? Mon voisin qui est passé par Fkkechose n’a toujours pas Internet 3 semaines plus tard, moi j’ai subi une coupure de… une heure, y compris le temps d’aller chercher le boitier de dépannage en boutique et le technicen a tout réparé en moins de 45 minutes, le lundi matin.
- Le prix? 34€ la fibre (comprenant ligne fixe + tv, si ça t’intéresse) et 11/12€ pièce par ligne mobile avec genre 200Go de data chacune (que j’utilise à peu près jamais, et ma moitié à peine plus ;) , + 2€ pour une autre ligne plus basique. Edit: je viens de vérifier: 34.5 pour la fibre, 2€ pour la ligne mobile de base et 11,99 par autre ligne avec 130Go de données (dont ce mois-ci j’ai utilisé… 0mo, mais bon quand j’en ai besoin, je suis content de l’avoir ;)
Libb@piefed.socialto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•FOSS Self-hostable or desktop app wiki (great for worldbuilding)?English2·24 hours agoI may have missed something, here so to make sure:
- Do you want a wiki specifically, or are you looking for a tool that would allow you to easily create and manage some worldbuilding bible, be it a wiki or not a wiki?
- Isn’t LibreOffice able to export to MediaWiki (Wikipedia)? I have not checked, and never used it, but I think it’s there somewhere.
the best thing it can do is just make a document look good,
It can also help you write the actual book, worrying about the document ‘look’ aka its formatting is optional (and if done properly, using Styles, it’s almost 100% automated) ;)
Libb@piefed.socialto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•FOSS Self-hostable or desktop app wiki (great for worldbuilding)?Deutsch2·1 day agoWouldn’t a word processor do trick? you can add links, images, refs, notes,… and have as many pages as you need (edit: and search them, add a table of content, and so on). LIbreOffice is most certainly already installed on your Linux distro and is also available for Mac and Windows.
Libb@piefed.socialto Art & Design@jlai.lu•Mind-bending ‘Hollow Pencil’ reduces wood and waste by almost 85% - Yanko DesignEnglish0·1 day agoThank you. It’s your ‘FFS’ that triggered the whole discussion ;)
The answer should also take into consideration the place of extraction/growth of the raw material (and the cost of getting it and storing it, using whatever tools are required), its shipping to the pencil manufacturing plant, how it should be handled and processed maybe. And a few other things like that but, yeah, I would not be surprised if plastic was not the best choice there was.
I would not have thought about asking AI myself because, well, I’m not much into using them. partly because, I don’t like the world their owners are trying to make a reality, partly because they consume so much energy.
Libb@piefed.socialto Art & Design@jlai.lu•Mind-bending ‘Hollow Pencil’ reduces wood and waste by almost 85% - Yanko DesignEnglish0·1 day agoThis is an interesting consideration as, once again as a pencil (and a Bic pen, and fountain pen) user myself, I have always wondered what was worse between cutting trees (or reusing hemp, which is a also a plant) to make the casing, or reusing some sort of already wasted material instead of throwing it away.
I mean that very seriously as all techniques do require a lot of energy to get to the result they want to achieve. That energy is to me the real ecological issue: the one that is costing less energy should be favorited.
Personally, I much prefer wooden pencils there is not the hint of the beginning of a doubt about that (and I pay good money to buy quality ones) but I would change and get rid of my ‘preference’ in a heartbeat if there was data showing something else was a better choice energy-wise. Be it recycled plastic, or cannabis, or that really interesting & intriguing concept showcased in the OP.
Libb@piefed.socialto Art & Design@jlai.lu•Mind-bending ‘Hollow Pencil’ reduces wood and waste by almost 85% - Yanko DesignDeutsch0·1 day agoFFS!
Am I expected to react positively or negatively? ;)
Libb@piefed.socialto Art & Design@jlai.lu•Mind-bending ‘Hollow Pencil’ reduces wood and waste by almost 85% - Yanko DesignDeutsch0·1 day agoIt looks quite clever. As a pencil user, I would gladly try a few of those if they were manufactured.
But this is not correct:
Pencils haven’t changed much in hundreds of years. They still come wrapped in wood with a graphite lead running along the center
For the casing, a lot pencils, most noticeably cheap ones, do not use wood for casing. It’s recycled plastic or some stuff like that. Here in France, I think Bic is recycling plastic to create the casing of their low cost pencils and colored pencils, while making it look somewhat like wood. I would say Staedtler does it too for its real entry level pencils but I’m not sure.
Like paper, pencil is one of those innovations that has reached maturity (to not say ‘perfection’) but it doesn’t mean there is not much research still going on. Exactly like with paper ;)
Libb@piefed.socialto Forum Libre@jlai.lu•[Jeudi Techno] Tu as une question sur du matos, du programme ? T'es au bon endroit. (2025-06-26)Français2·1 day agoC’est pas hyper technique mais est-ce que vous connaissez un logiciel (ou un site) pour dessiner le plan d’un appartement facilement ?
Un crayon et du papier + une photo/scan avec le smartphone? Tu pouuras même annoter le plan, sans changer de crayon, pour le rendre encore plus informatif ;)
Imho, any kind of fiction is imagination, dream, escape, and is without limit. The setting and the ‘reality’ it’s based upon may change in one form of fiction compared to another but that doesn’t make them different (or less daring) anymore than, say, me changing clothe.
So to answer your question, I think fantasy like most other literary labels is mostly a term coined to allow a few people to shine a little more than they would otherwise do, and maybe to help publishers create/manage more niche markets. And since it works quite well, it started being used by readers to feel assured that they would get the kind of ‘imagination’ they’re used too.
I love reading fiction a lot more than I care about reading any genre… despite having my own favorite genres too, don’t get me wrong. My bookshelves are a mess of various type of books and genres and the only semblance of order one will find in it is how much I appreciate one author compared to the others ;)
Libb@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•what is your country's view on speaking the native language with a foreign accent?Deutsch1·2 days agoI don’t think any country has ‘a view’ on the way to speak their language. I mean, would there be a law, some rules and sanctions against accents?
People may have their own opinion on the matter but that opinion will vary widely from one person to the other.
My opinion, which was already mentioned in another comment, is that anyone making fun on someone speaking a foreign language can (and should) go funk themselves.
We should welcome those kind of efforts instead of mocking them, and we should also be happy to be encouraged to speak more foreign languages ourselves. I say that as I a French that’s poorly speaking a few languages and would love to speak a lot more.
Libb@piefed.socialto Linux@sh.itjust.works•Any Opensource/ Libre/ Creative Commons Licensed, Detailed Guide to Switch to Linux From Windows 10?Deutsch1·2 days agoWhat are you looking for in such a guide? Like suggested, Mint installation guide is great to… install it and I needed not much beside that myself (but I was a Mac user, not Windows) ;)
Imho, what most people need is the willingness to give Linux a chance. And that, I’m afraid, no guide could give them.
Libb@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you seen this trailer for Superman 2025?Deutsch4·2 days agoNo, but why would I want to watch another of those Americans pretend they’re a super hero saving the world while they only care about shoving their shit deep down our throats and then make us thank them for that?
Libb@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some very beautiful and emotional movies? (Preferrably those about very grandiose or profound themes)English17·2 days agoNot knowing what usually makes you cry and what kind of movies you may enjoy, here are the first movies I know make me cry. Me being a a 50+ years old dude:

And those are from Ghibli:
- When Marnie was There
- The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
- From Up on Poppy Hill
- Only Yesterday
- The Red Turtle

It looks gorgeous <3
I meant: the warrant would equal an invitation to enter one’s home, an invitation decided by the judge to which, as a law abiding citizen, the place owner would be forced to comply with.
