"L'internet est mort ?
Non. La seule chose qui est en train de mourir, ce sont les cancers capitalistes comme les GAFAMs qui se sont greffés dessus pour extraire un maximum de "valeur" pour les actionnaires.
Internet est bien vivant, et grâce à une chose: LES PROTOCOLES. http, smtp, rss, irc, xmpp...
C'est pas sexy, un protocole, c'est parfois compliqué. Mais ce n'est pas monétisable (ou alors difficilement). Et c'est ce qui les sauve. La seule chose que peuvent faire les capitalistes face à un protocole, c'est essayer de les tuer (parfois avec succès)."

Très belle découverte de Galène dans la vidéo de Stackguide. Je suis aussi très fan de ce genre d'outils super optimisé.

I was kinda blown away when I discovered Fractions yesterday thanks to Rennes techno collective Osmoz. I listened on repeat to them yesterday, including my fav track Light https://soundcloud.com/fractions-sc/light and found their Hör set

Quel plaisir ça doit être de bosser chez Meta ... Les robots sont voulus humains et les humains deviennent des robots d'entrainement

“Everyone is a marketer now. The creator economy turned out to be a economy where the thing being created, more and more, is demand for more and more of yourself.”

“AI slop and human slop have now converged to the point that Dan can credibly market zero AI as a premium feature… AI slop is human slop with the labor costs removed.”

“At least the crap was relatively sincere crap… with zero intention of building an audience or selling a course called How I Built a Six-Figure Blog About Star Trek.”

Une police à partager autour de vous aux professeurs que vous connaissez. Les versions avec lignages sont très pratiques !

I loved learning about Nagasaki. Like many people, I thought the city was destroyed during WWII but in fact not

I don't have a lot of meetings, less than 5h per week (outside of calls with one teammate) but I still found some useful advice in this blogpost. I implemented 'Schedule a day after vacation as reentry time.' and implemented a calendar budget by blocking events at the beginning and end of day to have a buffer to prepare and end my days.

"Cory Doctorow’s “enshittification” is about platforms. This is about products. I call it ensheinification, because everything in the market is becoming Shein. You can buy expensive Shein, or you can buy cheap Shein that breaks after 2 uses."

Since I realized the impact of enshitification, I am also looking for the dumber option now when I buy something. It's much better in the long run

A testimonial for a boring life.

"We spend so much of our lives chasing a version of “enough” that was never ours to begin with. Always trying to catch up. To know more. Do more. Become more.But maybe… the answer was never “more.” Maybe it was less."

"The world rewards loud voices, fast growth, constant novelty. But introverts, we thrive in silence. In the quiet walks. The familiar tea cups. The slow mornings. The repetition that grounds us."

"Maybe the real secret is simply to stay. Stay with your silence. Stay with your quiet hobbies. Stay with your boring, beautiful life.Because sometimes, in choosing to be “left behind,” you finally return to yourself."

I love the Web and I also hate the Web. Nowadays you need at least uBlock Origin to enjoy the web. I don't know how people do it

"Am I worried about losing my job? Sure. It seems almost assured that eventually, my skilled craftsmanship and decades of experience will be replaced by a huge machine that churns out low-quality versions of what I used to painstakingly produce. Undoubtedly, this machine-slop will be cheaper to make, leading to the death of my craft and the loss of my knowledge, all so we can reflexively consume greater quantities of mass-produced garbage and keep the working class poor. I get why the Luddites are pissed, I really do."

"I still don’t get how common the idea is that if you’re not participating in the modern dystopian web, you’re just an outcast, all alone, lost in the woods, not knowing what everyone else is up to. Did you all have lives before all this? Don’t people have family and friends, along with their phone numbers, house addresses, or emails? Why do so many folks feel the need to know what a huge number of strangers are doing, right now, in a completely different part of the world?"

A 100% yes! 🙏
