Hi All, How can I add a counter for the date in a publication ? Is there a way to do so ? Or do I need to accept the risk of having a February 35th with a regular counter ?

Je vois d'ailleurs que sur https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/jlai.lu ça marche pas bien pour leur bot aussi.

Mais en pratique je vois surtout des longueurs et des trucs qui chargent pas

Just a midly interesting post about how I can't connect here on my work network anymore. So I took the time to use a bit more mbin, I like the clean interface, the better integration with Mastodon. However, the bad image integration and their own version of markdown is kinda frustrating. May-be I'll create an alt on piefed and an extra lemmy account.

Juste un post sans intérêt pour dire que je ne peux plus me connecter ici depuis le réseau du boulot. J'en profite pour utiliser mbin plus en profondeur, j'aime beaucoup l'interface propre et l'intégration avec Mastodon, par contre la non intégration des images et leurs propre markdown est un peu frustrant. Peut être que je devrais aussi me faire un alt sur piefed et un autre compte Lemmy

With copilot included in Professional-grade Office 365 and some politician claiming that their government should use AI to be more efficient. I am curious on whether some of you did use "AI" to get some productive things done. Or if it's still mostly a toy for you.

In High technology setting, the hacking skill is incredibly powerful, and a shortcut in many investigation scenarios. By hacking the CCTV camera, I could see that Joe did it, by checkin [insert social media] I know were the evil gad guys live.

Either you go old shadowrun-style with a whole mini game where decker can be killed by AI but it's pretty heavy and weird, or you end-up with 3 success on my roll and give a lot of info for just one roll.

What are your trick/house-rules to prevent that ? And how would you actually protect from panopticon. Especially looking how stupid people are in today's real world

A common critic we hear about an EU wide army is What language are they gonna speak but let's forget Europe 2024,

Rome had a huge empire over the whole Europe, I may be wrong, but I don't think that commoner spoke proper Latin in remote province. What happens when they join the legion ? Would the units be split by origin region (Dacian with Dacian, Lugdunumese with Lugdunemese) with only officer speaking latin ? Or would you merge legionaries from different province (So you have Tingitanian, a Lustitanian and a Thracian in the same unit) and give them a crash course in military latin (the way the french foreign legion does? ) Even going as far as Rome, Karl the great empire also spread over half of Europe, and modern European nation used to be way more multi-lingual than they are today, and most likely a random southerner/northerner in Britain, France or Germany couldn't talk to each other.

So how did ancient armies managed the language question ?

All the mess around the US elections make me think : What are weird stuff you've seen occurring during election days no matter whether it's incident, crazy voters/questions or even straight-up fraud ?

Also thanks to all of you who volunteer to run/observe an election, you're keeping your country democracy alive.

Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it's getting dark at 18.

Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it's just still dark and by the end of November it'll be pitch black anyway.

I've seen picture of US lemming already voting, How does that even work

I volunteered a few time to run a voting station in France, one of the first stuff I learned is always have two persons near the ballot box. If a dishonest person is alone, it's pretty easy to add a few ballots in the box and sign near the name of persons who are too sick/old to go voting in person.

Logistically speaking, it's in general not too hard to find enough volunteers (especially on a Sunday) to keep an eye on the vote from Let's say 7:30 when the empty box is sealed to 22:30 when counting is done and you've signed the paperwork. But this work if the vote occurs only over one day.

I see US-Americans voting almost 2 weeks before the election, how does it happen practically, do you have enough volunteer to run ballot station for 2 weeks ? Are civil servant paid to do so ? How do you make-sure nobody tampers the box at night ?
