French Press. It was my grandmother's, kept it after she died.

The brand, Melior, was bought by Bodum in 1991, and all French Press production went under the Bodum brand (the old Melior model became what is now known as the "Chambord" line), so it is at least 35 years old, possibly older.

I contacted Bodum to know if they could give me an approximate age, but they couldn't (or didn't want to bother searching). All I know it is a version with Pyrex glass, which may help a knowledgeable person to more precisely date it, but I kinda put my curiosity on pause for the time being.

Other than that, some of my grandfather's vinyls are quite old too (at least one of them is from the 80's), and I got some 20+ yo cassettes, some old mixtapes (back when mixtapes where actual tapes 😆).

I have an old Caban which is probably at least 40 years old (was my grandfather's, once again).

Oh, and some kitchen tools made in West Germany 😆.

    In most cases you have the right to emulate if you own the original game or a licence to play it (so if you have it on Steam you technically can).

    Otherwise, sail the high seas at your own risks, but law won't be on your side.

    Note : my own opinion is that as soon as the game isn't distributed anymore, you have the right (sometime the duty) to emulate, even it it means pirating it. But that's only my opinion 😉.

    Of so, I'd advice you to try to work on how you express yourself.

    Expressed like you did, you sound more like you flatly reject any criticism instead of admiting both are valid notation.

    That's kinda how you earned that flair from me. I'm not gonna blame you, I have been like that for a long time, and realized how damaging to my relationships it was. Not everyone is ready at all time to change their mind, even when I know I'm right with number to back my argument.
    Gently reminding them they may be wrong instead of antagonizing them often have way better result.
    Got friends out of toxic relationships that way. I don't like to intervene in other people love life, but when ypu see friends suffer, you sometimes have to act.

    Any media who actually do fact check and follow a journalistic ethic is good.

    BBC became controversial because it did not call the Gaza genocide what it is, but its etics guidline is not to judge and only report what it can verify (and clearly say when it cannot). So if I strongly disagree with them, at least I can understand why.

    RT, on the other hand, doesn't bother with all that ethics. If that's what Russia want you to believe, it represents it to its viewer as facts.

    Too bad MH Wilds run like shit on the Deck. On the other hand, it works great on the Steam Machine. I suppose I'll keep World as mobile MH then.

    Deleting by "error" the windows partition, with of course no time to reinstall until at least a month.

    By the time I came back to "reinstall", he told me "No need, I got used to it." .😆

    Note : he had all his files on a NAS, so nothing of value was lost

    Hi there.

    You probably expect some sort of brigading of some sort, or some ironic post to spite you or your values, but this is not. I don't share the provocations and general negativity that this new instance seems to have attracted.

    I, for change, welcome you to the fediverse, in hope, maybe naive, that sharing a common ground would allow both of our community nembers to get out of our respective echo chambers and try to find our common values and get a better understanding of each other, rather than locking ourselves into our dogmas and differences.

    Unfortunately, not everyone will share this goodwill, especially on a world as fractured as our is now, so I'll add a "good luck" handling all the stuff that are unfortunately coming your way, and hope you will not take it too badly.

    We, on the left, have our share of tankies and idiots, and that's not going to change any time soon, but at least there are others that want to mend that broken world, even if it takes time.

    Be well, stay kind, and good luck

    A (French) leftist.

    Hi friends,

    There was many threads lately on that topic, and despite attempts at making all those threads follow the community rules, looks like it will be better to make a megathread in order to avoid drowning other topics under the constant updates about this.

    You find bellow multiple sections, containing as much info as possible on every aspect of this topic, including the latest news (as well as older ones), and how to participate in fighting it (if you wish to).

    The moderation, even if we do have our own personal opinion on the topic, will try to stay as neutral as possible, which mean all opinion (for or against) are welcome, as long as it respect the rules, especially rule 2.

    As a special exception to rule 4, memes are welcome in the comment section, as I saw some good ones in various other topics, as soon as they respect rule 2.
