Google's Antigravity was blocked from directly reading my .env.test file (shouldn't have been the case as it's not mentioned anywhere in the .gitignore). It promptly decided to run cat in the terminal to get around what I assume is a security protocol 😂
A screenshot from Google’s Antigravity IDE. A warning message reads: “Access to file .env.test is prohibited by .gitignore.” Beneath it, the interface shows “Thought for 1s,” followed by a terminal block where the command cat .env.test is displayed.

Regularly blows my mind that how much faster/better/more reliable our internet is in Paris than it was in Vancouver for less than half the price.
Screenshot of an Internet speed test in French showing very fast connection results: 955.8 Mbps download, 579.2 Mbps upload, latency 4 ms, server located in Paris. The text says the Internet connection is very fast and suitable for streaming HD videos, video calls, and gaming on multiple devices simultaneously.

I dunno Google... doesn't seem like an important change to the service. Just some generic re-engagement email...
Screenshot of a Google Analytics promotional email encouraging users to sign up for personalized tips. The email features a headline in orange and black text: “Get the most from Google Analytics with personalized tips.” A blue button in the center reads “Get helpful tips.” Below are three benefits with icons: “Master the essentials” with step-by-step guidance, “Get insights you need” powered by Google AI, and “Drive more impact” with data-driven suggestions. At the bottom, there’s a section titled “Start in one click” inviting users to receive tips and suggestions. Google and Analytics logos are shown at the top. Notification stating: ‘You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your Google Analytics product or account.’

A vintage Parisian street lamp with a simple, childlike drawing of a smiling figure wearing patterned pants on its glass panel. The lamp stands in the foreground against a blurred cityscape of classic Parisian buildings, with an overcast sky and bare tree branches framing the scene.

La lumière est jolie dans les rues de Paris aujourd'hui 😊
Rue parisienne bordée d’immeubles sous une lumière douce, avec quelques voitures et passants en silhouette sur le trottoir, et un ciel clair en arrière-plan.

The best way to celebrate xmas is with good food, good wine (or champagne), good company, and a Lord of the Rings extended editions marathon.
Photo of a hearty plate of food, a champagne flute, and in the background, a television showing the opening title of a Lord of the Rings movie.

This is so funny to me.

In Canada I occasionally ran into cookie banners, but since I moved to France I see them *everywhere* and they're so obnoxious that I never bother to read: I just accept all. Always.
"Screenshot of a Chrome browser extension page for 'Taste (Beta)' by Axeptio. The extension has a 4.8-star rating from 13 reviews and 1,000 users. A large banner in the center reads 'No more cookie-banners. The extension that consents on your behalf,' with the description 'Taste filters bad cookies on your behalf, in order to respect your privacy.' The extension logo features the word 'Taste' in pink donut-style font with a beta tag. The 'Add to Chrome' button is on the right side."
