  • Air traffic controller. A shit ton of money for a shit ton of days off and holidays.

    My highest degree is from the aviation school so it’s kinda useless outside of aviation.

    Same for my pilots friends, none of them went to university/college but rather straight to flying school after the mandatory diploma you pass at around eighteen (Baccalauréat in France).

    It is great but the downside is that if we want to change careers we can only become business owners (aka, create our own jobs) because nobody wants us and we don’t accept their “real world” shitty work conditions.



  • Wait what? There is a Cœur D’Alene in Idaho?

    Now I’m curious and wonder how you guys try to pronounce that very French name (with a strong R at the end of cœur)

    Edit: I watched some videos and most of the people seemed to say “core da lane” with a different emphasis on lane. And one fella saying “coor d’alane”

    In French it’s Coeur like beurre, and Alène like À laine. Anyway, it’s cool to have a place named “heart of” something




  • I think the prices are more or less the same today.

    But we don’t go to Starbucks or fast food often, the coffee culture is the same as France and Italy so not Starbucks. And fast food is often the hangover food so not something you do every week.

    Since Covid and inflation worldwide, some prices are actually cheaper in Switzerland. With a Swiss income it is a very perfect country to live in (not with a basic low 4000 chf/month tho, at least not in cities)


  • From the git above, it downloads an official MS iso and debloat it to create a lighter one. It’s the same as installing a normal iso and then removing stuff like one note etc, except that those are not installed by default so no need to remove them.

    Specialized software from laptop brands (asus or whatever) are useless shits. You only need the drivers and an OS.



  • Eh, once my wife had a Sunday 4pm fondue craving (the Swiss melted cheese yeah) so we went to the local “auberge valaisanne”

    It was packed with old farts from retirement homes going on an organized Sunday trip to the restaurant.

    Also none of them ate cheese (fondue or raclette), they all went for a non Swiss meal, at a Swiss auberge…

    I tried Dennys once when I was visiting the US, I don’t remember it so it probably wasn’t anything special.




  • We (French speaking peoples) have several instances, the one I’m writing from is probably the most active on lemmy, the others are on piefed.

    I’d say if you see a lot of them it’s probably because of your language settings or because of those German instance settings.

    I had to block several of their communities as I don’t have German selected in my languages but they still show on all (and in German, not English posts hosted on a German instance), so they were just badly setup. Maybe it changed tho, I haven’t updated my blacklist in a while.
