I am really interested in the Experimental June of Manuel Moreale and Kevin Wammer and here is week 1. Cliophate is also doing the same https://cliophate.wtf/posts/experimental-june-week-1.

I reduced phone use over time and it's now mostly a communication device and utility tool but not 100% so going further with what they are doing is cool to follow

Toujours intéressant de lire le processus de passage à un site statique, encore plus quand c'est quelqu'un dont on apprécie le contenu. Je ne connaissais pas bien Publii et ç'a l'air d'être une bonne alternative. Je reste pour l'instant sur une solution statique + markdown, sachant que mon blog n'est pas encore actif

Following Simon's journey in leaving the Apple garden for Linux has been really interesting and made me reflect on my macOS usage. I have been slowly reducing the software I use and switching to software usable on Linux.

I also put Linux Mint on my old macBook Pro 2015, and will probably try Debian 13 Trixie on it since I want to test GNOME 48.

I never used Komoot but read great things about it. Following Bending Spoons acquisition, Bending Spoons fired almost the entire staff. This video shows passionate people who built a useful product but were not respected at all ..

Blogging platform for minimalists. Found thanks to @ploum@mamot.fr

Si vous n'avez pas lu Dark Wire sur les téléphones Anom, je vous conseille la vidéo de Micode sur le sujet, avec des interviews de personnes impliquées

"One of the genuinely positive things about tools like Copilot and ChatGPT is that they empower people with minimal development experience to create their own programs. Little programs that do useful things - and that’s awesome. More power to the users.
But that’s not product development, it’s programming. They aren’t the same thing. Not even close."

"When these people talk about the web they’re talking about the web they’re part of: they talk about the web that is powered by advertising and by tracking, the web that needs traffic to sustain itself. The commercial web is what they talk about."

As soon as I am happy with my current personal website, I am going to start testing faircamp to create my DJ website and prepare to put my DJ sets outside "walled gardens" platforms.

"Most computers today are sold like cars, where as many things as possible are done for you. You don't have to understand how it works and, in fact, you don't have to understand how to think because the most popular stuff is prepackaged solutions for this and that. When you put a person into a car, their muscles wither. You put a person into an information car, and their thinking ability withers."

I have been a happy Zen user since the alpha stage, after leaving Arc when I became unhappy with their strategy. Zen creator and maintainer's blogpost definitely resonates with my experience

As someone who tried Pocket and other alternatives in the past, and currently very happy with Readwise Reader, Wallabag is still an interesting alternative I am keeping an eye on. Especially since reading articles on my Kindle has been on my wishlist.

I just finished Careless People, so I read about this in the book and it's again a reason to the endless list of why Meta is a horrible company

A tale of bad logging practices, overengineering, and a near-death experience.
