And they give you a t shirt and "you" actually bring "their" knowledge.
That's called stealing or what?!

I don't know Toulon. But I went to the Var for a wedding a few years ago and the paysage was splendid.

@hansw @design_RG @Phaedrus

There are a LOT of places I haven't visited here.

But Brittany is an absolute beauty and reminds me a lot of Ireland.

But I haven't been to the Périgord and i heard it's gorgeous there!

@design_RG @hansw @Phaedrus

A man of wonder and discovery indeed!

I went in my childhood in Portugal but I don't remember a thing.

Love to go at some stage.

A friend of mine talked to me also about how food is wondrous. there!

It's part of the richness of fedi that it's common and normal for more adventurous people to come and go, it's accepted. Good people are remembered, perhaps we meet again?

Next Spring, in Córdoba, or Sevilla, or Porto? All cities I visited, and love.

Many others too, Lisboa has my heart in quick beat, I am so happy the moment I arrive there.

Saudades de Portugal. Minha terra ancestral.

Take your time as you follow my narrative, it's pretty intense and the Blog is an ideal way to follow it - as it's not time sensitive as live conversations are. The pages will still be there, next time, and can be responded to, linked to, I do that myself as well.

My wondering ways won't stop at FAB, as there is so much more to see and love, report on so people get notice they exist. Marrakesh, Istanbul, Budapest, so many places to visit, why not?

So one needs to know his-her sh... before clicking on it...
Which is not my case.

I dream of a world where this stuff would be by default.

I know I'm a dreamer!

@hansw @design_RG

Whoah, I didn't even know about this language!

Having this feel for languages were you able to use that love and ability and apply it somewhere?

Maybe do you have the same with programming languages?

Languages are also structures and some may love it for the grammar side of it...

@hansw @freemo

In your opinion, why is there a warning message, "I accept the risk!" button?

@lupyuen

That reminds me of a guy who has brought his engineer skills with his passion for food.

This guy is known worldwide - has amazing energy and can go wild.

He's french but all videos are in english.

Enjoy!

Oui, j’ai un cœur et une âme européens, semble-t-il -- je le sens fortement quand je suis là, c’est difficile de retourner en Amérique du Nord.

Je n’ai eu Français classes que pendant deux ans, en tant que sujet à l’école primaire; Je peux comprendre beaucoup plus, lire, que je ne pouvais parler ou écrire. Mais c’est une belle langue.

En voyageant dans ma patrie ancestrale bien-aimée, le Portugal, j’ai rencontré et conversé avec des gens de nombreux pays.

Un matin, je me suis même engagé dans une conversation, dans une jolie petite auberge à Lisboa, avec un couple Français, non scénarisé et sans aide par la traduction; c’était amusant.

Et je leur ai dit que j’aimais même les entendre, les sons et la fluidité de la langue.

Il m’a dit que oui, c’était comme des petits oiseaux gazouillant, et nous avons eu quelques rires, café et apprécié un bon moment.

pouquoi non?

@design_RG @hansw

LOL, "Pourquoi pas" means "why not" ie I'd love to ^^

It's funny, I have found french being so floral and sometimes too complicated. But I think it is linked to my personal story and how the language was used to limit my perception of things.

When I learned a new language I felt as freer as I've never felt.
Free to think by myself to say what i wanted and to dissociate with what i didn't like.

A language also is more than sounds even if it's beautiful. It implies culture, ways of thinking and of being, of course history runs through it.

So when you love - or don't - a language, it is like if all this was coming into play.

I have been attracted to Japanese and sign language as well.

@design_RG @hansw @Phaedrus

Just thinking: maybe your wondering was about finding your Pleroma HQ?

As for myself, I'm still dispersed right now and following your thread i might admit even if I'm taking it in a very leisurely pace.

I'd love to find a few places where I could help out much more. As well as finding people I could help with what I do and who I am...

>> Hence what you do! This is so important!

Thank you -- your perception never ceases to amaze me. Indeed.

The Local feeds can make or break an instance. Qoto's was broken, very recently, and I nearly dispaired.

It is hard to affect change, one single user no matter how active can't do it alone.

I had some encouragement from the quality posts and support that @Phaedrus gave me -- he knows what I am talking about, as he was the first person to write about

"Make Qoto Great Again" -- and we did, managed to turn the ponderous ship, weeded out some obnoxious accounts, created a small lock at the front door (the new user questions, which surprisingly few respond to; all blank forms are rejected outright , of course.)

This, I am happy to acknowledge, was my idea and suggestion, peddled to the staff and accepted; we all are happy with the reduced intake and the amazing rise in quality of our local feed.

This depends on the contributions of our users -- but sensing a friendly and rich environment, people will come closer and interaction will happen.

On that front things are working well.

Hopefully we make progress in the instance tech side, as I am dissatisfied greatly with mastodon, as I make abundantly clear (it's a campaign, of course).

If we improve, great. If not, m presence would fade somewhat, as I pursue my own aspirations and settle elsewhere as a main account.

The Home feeds, I haven't looked at in recent times, as you can imagine my time is taken with my own active presence. But they are good to discover cool people in other instances.

And I wish to participate on them once again.

My FAB account is now Pleroma HQ for me, and there's ziliion Notis there waiting for review and responses. I love it! 📩
