“I do not want to talk to my computer. I do not want to use OneDrive. I’m sure as hell not going to use Recall. I am tired of Windows trying to get me to use Edge, Edge trying to get me to use Bing, and everything trying to get me to use Copilot. I paid for an Office 365 subscription so I could edit Excel files. Then Office 365 turned into Microsoft 365 Copilot, and I tried to use it to open a Word document and it didn’t know how.”

I love experiments around offline, low tech, and simpler tools that fits people's and not businesses' needs

Quand une personne dispose de la bonne boîte à outils, quand elle perçoit un obstacle à sa portée, elle sait qu'une moulinette peut résoudre son problème. Le nom de la moulinette est simple, factuel. C'est un résumé de ce qu'elle doit faire. Ce n'est pas un nom de produit, de projet. Pas besoin de marketing. La moulinette n'a rien à vendre.

La moulinette, c'est de l'artisanat.

Dans l'ombre, les moulinettes tiennent en équilibre le monde numérique."

"The paradox of designing for the web is that the simplicity of building a website with basic tools means it can adapt to the changing technology around it."

“The web that many connected to years ago is not what new users will find today,” wrote Tim Berners-Lee, one of the inventors of the internet, on its 29th birthday. “What was once a rich selection of blogs and websites has been compressed under the powerful weight of a few dominant platforms. This concentration of power creates a new set of gatekeepers, allowing a handful of platforms to control which ideas and opinions are seen and shared.”

An example of home-cooked software and an interesting one that I could try!

Found this weird music video and don't know what to think about it
