  • I work in ATC and we have several desks with around 12 to 18 screens. Not in that layout tho, but on a much larger banana form.

    They are used at different support positions so not ATC radars. Mostly for monitoring but also used with keyboard and mouse.

    The applications goes from technical surveillance of ops systems, to flow capacity (airspace capacity), meteo broadcast for all airports (ATIS) or ground-ground telecommunications of aeronautical data.


  • 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.







  • You’ll have to look a decade in the past.

    Under former presidents (Hollande, Sarko and Chirac) protests did work.

    Now it’s only since Macron that they are less effective as he does not care unless everything is literally burning.

    I don’t have examples in mind, I participated in some of them but I was younger and do not really remember the details.





  • 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.
