Question for French fediverse... I'm a native (US) English speaker, and B2 (adv intermediate) French speaker. I'd like more practice writing. Does anyone have experience with sites that connect people wanting to practice English in exchange for reading and correcting my French?

(Not looking for personal relationships, just penpals for language study!)

Bach's tour dates for 2025?! Seriously, Deezer?

Eat your heart out, Mick Jagger. Good old Johann Sebastian has you beat by 258 years.

@Dtl I really like my ReMarkable 2 and use it constantly. Its limitations are its strengths - if I used an iPad, I'd end up doomscrolling. Instead, a ReMarkable is like a (semi-infinite) set of notebooks with the "scratchy" feel of paper. Simulates pens from fine-point to fountain pen; I use the fountain pen setting almost exclusively.

If I dropped mine from a tall building, I'd buy the newest one so I could highlight in color.

@mishellbaker Are you working on something right now?

@ronent In software teams, I have seen - so many times - the pattern of the "he’s a jerk, but he’s individually productive, so we’re going to accommodate him”. (Here I use the pronoun "he" because that correlates in my personal experience.)

The “nastiest chicken” problem is a common one among humans.

Selectively breeding the most *individually* productive hens leads to lower overall egg production, so chicken farmers have cleverly learned to shift selection to the level of the *group*. Economists, on the other hand >
