You should really put content warnings when posting that kind of things.

Think of the children!

Mandatory @xkcd.com. May not be enough money, but same vibes.

A comic from xkcd. First panel a genie tells the character "You have awakened me from the lamp, you may have three wishes. What does your hear desire". The character answers "I'd like a human sized hamster ball".

On the four next panel the character plays inside the ball saying "Sweet!".

On the last panel, the genie asks "And your other wishes ?" to what the character answers "Why would I need other wishes?"

Remember that the real question about the Trump regime is whether they are more dumb than evil or the other way around.

Does not make them any less scary nor dangerous unfortunately.

Why the hell does Trump’s Department of War keep using RUSSIAN military images? This is by no mean the first time this has happened.

To avoid confusion:

1. It is nigh impossible to get that rich ethically.
2. To hoard such wealth rather than invest in your community, and improve society, is unethical.
3. An ethical billionaire ceases to be a billionaire, by neccesity.

It's categorically impossible to be an ethical billionaire and I will die on that hill forever.

Probably the best article about how big software companies operate and why that I've read in a while: www.seangoedecke.com/seeing-like-...

Seeing like a software company

The big idea of James C. Scott’s Seeing Like A State can be expressed in three points: Modern organizations exert control by maximising “legibility”: by…

The bank AI assistant is going to make me regret the old school phone robots where you just had to answer questions by typing keys.

At least those never said "I did not understand. Can you repeat that?"

Parce que je peux plus imaginer cette alliance la "marcher" que la version avec LFI - ca n'a rien à voir avec mes opinions personnelles.

Cot cot à toi aussi !

"WIP" en temps que vecteur de communication

Martin @joyouscoding.com · 8d

Ca fait du bien de lire ca. Une alliance "gauche / droite" (disons ici Macron/PS/Ecolo/Liot donc sans LR, sans LFI) ne parait rien d'impossible vu de Belgique (on a eu plusieurs fois des coalitions gauche droite).

Sauf évidemment si Macron se sent plus proche du RN que du PS...

I was going to share that one with you. Feels like the tech sector is always there to support war and warmongers.

If you own your domain name (and use it with a given provider, let's say gmail), that's a bit the same no? Or is it something I don't get here ?

Ouaip. Ca j'ai pas - et/ou pas eu la motivation de devenir assez bon. Je trouve que la sanction est trop lourde (là ou par exemple je me suis bien amusé sur Ghost of Tsunima ou Horizon, même en difficile parce qu'il ne faut pas tout recommencer à chaque fois).

Plein ! Nier Automata (il faut jouer une heure pour pouvoir sauvegarder, et si tu meurs faut tout recommencer - pas tenable pour moi).

De manière générale quand trop frustrant. J'essaie de plus en plus souvent de trouver une démo pour tester.

Pierre-Edouard Stérin à court de cash : ses projets vers la casse ?

Ces derniers mois, le milliardaire réactionnaire a coupé les vivres à une série de projets politiques. Le manque de liquidité, des changements de gouvernance et la structure fragile de son groupe ébranlent les ambitions du magnat.

Je fais monter de niveau tellement lentement en temps que meneur de jeu qu'hier un des joueurs m'a amené des Galler manon (le gout que je préfère) pour aider.
