I like this new version. I won’t be buying it since my FP3 is still working great, but I’ll recommend people around me needing a new phone to look into it.

I don’t use any mainstream social media, but I don’t see how that is hardcore? I simply socialize in real life when I need it. And I feel like people mainly really use social media to entertain themselves.

This is an easy choice here for me. It would be clothes. I’m not planning on changing my phone soon (at the very least 2-3 more years to go with it), so a new phone would just be dumb here. Good clothes on the other hand will always be useful at some point in time, even if I don’t need new ones right now.

France put in a place the Hadopi in 2010 (now part of the Arcom) specifically to target people torrenting copyrighted stuff.

If they are really testing things like that, it’s quite worrying that they did it on the production server…

I use Comprehensible Japanese which uses the concept of Comprehensible Input to teach the language. The website has a nice guide on the concept: https://cijapanese.com/guide/intro

French and English natively. I did learn Russian at school for 7 years (but I forgot most of it now), and I am currently learning Japanese.

I’m quite surprised by the fact that so many people here seem to be bothered by that. To me, having friends and family also means helping each other when we can. I am good with tech, but I am awful with many other things, and I am really glad that I do know that my family and friends will also help me.

Yeah. I use KeepassXC on my computers and KeepassDX on my phone. All synced with syncthing and it works great.

All of these examples are good only if you think that we need to have access to everything as soon as possible. It can definitely be convenient at times, but it also feels like most of the time it actually ends up being forced on you, when in truth, life shouldn’t require that we get money straight away, nor that we have to follow the best possible itineary. Being able to take our time to do things is to me the thing that we are actually missing nowadays.

Apart from health related things, anything else are just gadgets that don’t really improve life IMHO.

You clearly do not know how things work in France. We have tons of things fiscally in place that make it so that in practice, you have to earn much more than that to truly pay taxes.

I don’t have time currenty to enumerate all of that, but I’ll come back to you later if I don’t forget.

Most young people do not pay income taxes currently, only the wealthy ones. So this reduction would only apply to already rich people.

Meh, if your house is built correctly, it is not needed. And you also get used to it.

I just use a fan during the night, which does the job without having to use so much electricity.

I’ve never had AC at home, and that’s also the case for most people I know. I live in the south of France.

I’m still using my FP3 that is now close to 4 years old. It’s still working great. I just changed the battery once, but that was trivial to do. I didn’t have to change anything else, but most parts are still available in their store.

I’ve not done this for a very long time, but I used to eat them like that aswell

Never ate any, and I don’t know of any restaurant close by that prepares them.

I heard about it, but the issue I usually have with other layouts is that I find myself looking for “infrequent” symbols a lot. Maybe this one would be easier to get used to than other layouts such as Bépo since, as you said, it is relatively compatible with regular AZERTY.

I use the FR-AZERTY layout. You honestly get used to the layout you have to work with.
