"to recover a healthier digital culture, we must reimagine the internet not as an omnipresent miasma of distraction and surveillance but as a place we choose to enter—and leave—on human terms."

Permacomputing, Ascetic Computing, ... so many cool movements going back to simplicity in a never ending enshittified software world

Even if some people like to make you think it's impossible, it's possible to leave Big Tech, even if it's won't be easy, like this testimonial shows

I am definitely having a similar experience as Nicolas

What a lovely story on a kid learning Russian and transforming thanks to it, for the better

J'en profite pour ajouter que le site d' @arthurperret@sciences.re est rempli de contenus super intéressants sur le sujet, et que je suis notamment à fond sur ces sujets grâce à lui

A useful tool I found thanks to Korben, to check your package.json. I immediately set it up on my repos.

"When I am in good hands I open myself to a state of curiosity and appreciation. I allow myself to suspend preconceived notions. I give you freedom to take me where you want to go. I immerse myself in your worldview and pause judgement."

"If my mind was changed, I must have been in good hands."

"Journalists must help people and policymakers understand technology. This means avoiding AI industry jargon that lets those in power control the narrative and avoid scrutiny."

"The Luddites understood that mechanization wasn’t just an economic shift; it was a political one."

"When human inquiry and creativity are offloaded to anthropomorphic AI bots, there is a risk of devaluing critical thinking while promoting cognitive offloading. If we turn the intellectual development of the next generation over to opaque, probabilistic engines trained on a slurry of scraped content, with little transparency and even less accountability, we are not enhancing education; we are commodifying it, corporatizing it, and replacing pedagogy with productivity."

Toujours intéressant de voir ce type de témoignages pour motiver les gens à sauter le pas

Love is still happening in a care home, and this article is showing it really well

I am going back to software that have been here for a while, often free/open-source software

I recently wanted to convert a pptx to reveal.js (still trying), and this repo was useful to find Microsoft fonts

I am totally here for the small software, optimized, robust which doesn't a huge computer to run. That's why I have been going back to CLI/TUI software recently

Un reportage sur le Internet Resiliency Club, un club qui développe des réseaux radios pour survivre à un arrêt d'Internet

The Great Review, un des créateurs que je regarde parler de jeux vidéos alors que je ne joue pas

What a family story

Les GAFAMs sont horribles mais ce créateur du Nord de la France y amène beaucoup d'humanité. Je vous conseille tout son compte Insta et sa chaîne Youtube

AI Psychosis is scary, and this excellent investigation from the 404 team shows it really well ...

I am looking forward to when the bubble pops, even if I am using AI and feel bad about it

Je suis un énorme consommateur de DJ sets sur SoundCloud et Youtube, mais je suis aussi revenu à la radio, mais webradio, comme Radio Rudina, Mia Mio, NTS, ...

The writer was able to improve how he watches his diabetes thanks to free software. Again an example on why free and open-source software are the way to go

I am currently on a rabbit hole with Markdown, pandoc, reveal.js and read this nice ebook. It's definitely more useful if you are a researcher, teacher, and use R, but still a book to read if you are curious.

Faut-il être présent/actif sur les réseaux sociaux pour réussir dans les métiers créatifs ? Justin Buisson essaye de répondre à la question dans cette vidéo. Un vrai sujet pour beaucoup de métiers créatifs, que ce soit dans la musique, ou l'art en général.

J'utilise Overcast donc pas moyen d'utiliser gPodder, mais récemment je suis tombé en ligne sur ce client iOS pour gPodder, ce qui est assez rare pour le souligner. Je ne l'ai par contre pas testé mais suis curieux si certains l'ont testé

J'apprécie beaucoup le choix des invités de Micode. Il va chercher des invités qu'on voit souvent peu ailleurs.

J'ai pu découvrir grâce à lui le projet weasyprint, que j'ai pu utilisé récemment dans 2 projets
