The few exchanges I have had so far (here on Piefed and on Lemmy) have been rather positive/interesting. A few could even be the start of a lot more interesting discussions but have yet to mature, which is absolutely fine. Like already suggested by another commenter, we probably need to give it some more time to grow. Meanwhile, we can do our best to start making it feel more lively already.

It's probably my English that is lacking (sorry for that) but I though I just wrote 'people should not do that, they're not a products'. Could it be that me using the first person is the main issue, here? Or did I really phrase anything that makes you think I feel 'special' (can't see what)?

If so, I will try to keep that in mind next time.

Thx, that's nice of you to say, but don't worry too much about that.

As far as I'm concerned downvotes only start being meaningful the moment a downvoter takes to time to explain their motivation, if they're too lazy to even do that, well, why should I worry what they may think, or like or dislike? ;)

I would not rate it. My childhood, like myself, is not a product or a service, it's not even a homework, waiting to be rated ;)

If I was to believe it, we must agree the recent news would have prepared us for that kind of event actually happening. So, reading that message, I would know it's not some stupid joke.

What I would do then depends the type of missile I'm expecting to receive on the head.

  • nuclear? Since we live in the capital of France (potential primary target, I imagine) I would wonder who is the moron that thought it would be useful to message me and then I would vaporize in poof of smoke. With any luck, I would have time enough to hug and say goodbye to my spouse.
  • Conventional? I would do nothing beside opening all windows wide and, hugging and crouching with my spouse, somewhere not close to any window we would wait for the impact maybe we could use our mattress as a makeshift shield?

Wouldn't we try to escape somewhere safer? Nope. When the missile is on its way it's too late already. We should have left the city a long time ago and when it arrives...

  • Radiations and/or bomb blast are way faster than I will ever be. Even in a car, if I owned one ;)
  • I have no idea where the thing would hit, so trying to get to some safer place we may as well run directly into it.
  • Living in (and trying to leave in a hurry) a highly populated area in an emergency of that kind means chaos, which also means all means of transportation and all roads would almost instantly get jammed by people running everywhere like headless chicken.

So, instead I'd rather stay at home, and wait to see if there is anything we might want to do after the blast. If there is an after the blast.

100%. Also true for any craft/DIY/manual hobby activity, art (music, sketching, painting), and so on.

France comes from the 'franks' which was both a kingdom and its population, the franks or francs, in French. The word is is supposed to mean 'free man' (one of the meanings, at least)

Yep.

It's not compatible with the real older browsers but since it's for my personal blog I don't think it's a big deal.

AVIF. It's a video format but it works great for photos too and offers much better compression than jepg or even webp without much noticeable loss. I use it on my blog to make the few images I use as light as possible.

The French Clairefontaine, at least for standard printer paper and thicker papers, no idea if they do vinyl or photo. Their paper is real nice.

Using mpv, on ripped files from my large CD collection.

Shouldn't it be flat, too? ;)
