L'argument littéraire, on l'avait pas vu venir.
Bon, le pays de Balzac a maravé le pays de Shakespeare, le pays de Cervantes et le pays de Goethe mais ça c'était avant. Maintenant on s'attaque qu'aux pays qui ont des écrivains nuls
@MadameMollette On va quand même lui rappeler que même Jules Verne avait la gerbe devant la barbarie russe, et qu'il n'a écrit Michel Strogoff que parce que c'était une commande bien payée. D'ailleurs, Michel Strogoff n'est qu'un récit apocalyptique de la barbarie russe, ou le héros s'obstine dans une quête totalement inutile et trahi par les siens, dans un monde sans aucune humanité.
We're excited to announce the latest Framework Laptop 13 with Intel Core Ultra Series 1, an optional 2880x1920 120Hz display (ideal for 2:1 scaling on Linux), and new configurations for businesses with 3 year warranties. Pre-orders are open now.
@peterdrake@frameworkcomputer I'm not saying they're super loud but just know that you can buy a slightly louder speaker set through the component store on the framework site that is louder than the default ones that come with it
During a group photo with greeters on the PHL tarmac a reporter shouted a question at President Biden about whether he'd serve four more years or hand over power to VP Harris. He replied: “You're not hurt are you? Are you okay? Did you fall on your head or something?”
#GE2024 What have Labour done in their first campaign week? Deselected left-wing (not Israel supporting) candidates!! Diane Abbott (not sure but looks like it), now Doctor Faiza Shaheen, in Chingford, and more. This is appalling. Really angry. #UKPolitics
EDIT: it’s become a bit of a 🧵 because i am so angry. But honestly: everyone should be very angry about this, on Faiza’s behalf and for us all.
@Alexlee yes, Luke Akehurst too! I really am appalled and angry. And worried about our future civil liberties under Starmer. Glad to hear you have resigned, too.
@dlb quand le bol de satisfaction n'est plus rempli des bienfaits de la vie, quand la douleur est plus importante que le bonheur.
Quand la créativité, la joie, les plaisirs ne sont plus présents et que l'utilité de notre vie est plus un poids pour nous et pour nos proches, nous devrions pouvoir envisager notre fin en toute conscience en espérant pouvoir agir nous même pour y mettre un terme.
Mais ce n'est pas toujours possible.
C'est compliqué dans ce cas.
Introducing Kino - Halide’s new pro video camera sibling.
It’s our beautiful, simple, but powerful app for taking cinematic video. Packed with amazing color presets by my favorite pros. Out now, and half off for launch!
What a curiously dispassionate post on The Verge about their parent company signing a deal with OpenAI. It’s interesting that they posted about it in a way that lumps it together with the other deals and there’s no statement from The Verge’s famously opinionated leadership about what this deal means for publishing, journalism, and the open web.
This week, the Wall Street Journal opinion section published an op-ed about our #tax coverage.
We don't typically comment on our newsgathering process, but this opinion essay has factual errors in the headline and in the essay that should be corrected.
@ProPublica Once again, the Wall St. Journal’s editorial page proves itself to be the home of unrecondite scoundrels, liars and thin-skinned oligarchs who squeal like stuck pigs at any possible encroachment on their perceived privilege
Alright, @mirlo, a #Bandcamp alternative who hangs out here in the Fediverse, is just $55 short of making its Kickstarter goal! Seems very likely they'll be funded at this point, which is great news for musicians and music fans looking to create a better music industry.
If you want to kick in a few dollars (and maybe your donation will be the one that puts them over the top!), here's the link:
@louis I'd be curious what you think about alternatives.
I never loved the mastodon tech stack or politics.
I try to always call it activity pub and hopefully, be on something more generically activity pub someday.
