J'ai une montre G-shock depuis 20 ans.

La pile est sensée durer 10 ans (elle dure en effet pas loin de ça), je l'ai changée (deux fois).

J'ai changé le bracelet, dont la conception douteuse fait qu'il se fend en deux, immanquablement. Il est de nouveau en train de se fendre, évidemment.

Sauf que cette fois-ci, pas certain de pouvoir le changer.

Donc la montre fonctionne encore parfaitement, mais je commence à me demander si je vais devoir acheter une autre montre ? C'est… nul.

Fun things to note about the upcoming General Election:

  • "qualifying Commonwealth citizens" can vote (as long as they meet the other requirements: age + residency)
  • if you are a squatter, that doesn't disqualify you from the residency requirement!

Rwandans living in the UK (and everyone else), this is your time to kick Sunak and the Tories out.

I was just thinking: is mountain biking the "extreme" / action sport most likely to survive after The Collapse™?
Cities will be too dirty for skateboarding and rollerblading, snowboarding and skiing require both snow and access to high altitudes. Maybe BMX will also have a chance in rubble filled cities?

Am i the only person wondering about these things?

@devnull @bazouzabou Je sais pas, c'était une vision de la différence gauche/droite qui existait je pense à l'époque : le moyen de redistribution change, à cause d'un désaccord sur la manière la plus efficace de redistribuer. C'est globalement le point de départ de L'économie des inégalités de Piketty (1997) aussi. (cf. https://archive.org/details/leconomiedesineg0000pike/page/2/mode/2up )

On en est très loin désormais, vu le cynisme qui prévaut.

J'ai (enfin) mis à jour le PC de ma mère de Elementary 5.1 à 7.1 (c'est à dire, réinstallé complètement). Le PC est désormais super lent, c'est flippant. Pas trop sûr de quoi faire là.

Bluesky now allows you to unpin or even remove the default "Following" feed and make any other custom feed the default one.

The "Following" feed is the chronological one by Bluesky but there's thousands of other custom algorithmic feeds created by other users and generated by federated third party servers.

@fenarinarsa So this is happening. It was a goal of Bluesky and the AT protocol, and it is becoming a reality, which is neat.

These urban , chilling by the library, are pretty cool. Maybe not @babe duck level cool, but still pretty cool.

Two ducks, the male one sitting and the female one standing on metal and stone outdoor flooring. In the background, the corner of a building can be seen, next to a plastic block and other public works equipment such as blue and orange fences.

I just made a giant batch of chilli purely to use all the tins of beans, and fridge veggies... but I had no Kidney Beans just Cannellini Beans, so is it even a chilli any more?

axx,
@axx@mstdn.fr avatar

@andycarolan I'd argue it depends on the spices used and flavours you got. Hot, warm, umami, chilli, cumin, paprika etc.? Chilli.
Fresh, sharp or soft, herbs, lemon, etc. ? Salad.

"In fact, the #Gaza solidarity encampments on campuses are student-organized and led, with Palestinian students at front and center, and a disproportionately large presence of Jewish students too. It is students, over 1,000 of them, who have faced arrest."

We should all be proud of these kids.

Completely mind boggling to me that we threw away 5 billion phones in 2022.

Some of those could have been repurposed: smartphones are hardly innovating any more. The most eco-friendly phone is the one you already have.

We need to publicly support communities like @postmarketOS who work on making these phones repurposable, and @gnome that work on making a polished mobile experience that serves people, not creepy corporations.

@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @gnome We need a legal obligation to release of all relevant code and schematics for all chipsets that are no longer supported by the manufacturer.

I'm still on an old Pixel 2, running an "ancient"¹ GrapheneOS. I replaced the battery, but it works fine.

It's also a security risk, which i'm well aware of. This shouldn't be the case.

  1. I hate how the Internet distorts our relationship to time, i should probably write something about that one of these days.

Purée, Qovery / Romaric Philogene qui force Anaïs Urlichs à faire des excuses publiques, via lettre d'avocat, pour avoir fait des tweets sarcastiques sur le manque de diversité dans la tech suite à une photo d'une tablée où on ne voit que des mecs blancs, c'est magnifique.

Apparemment les égos fragiles, c'est pas terminé et ça se traduit par de la bonne menace juridique à la papa, qui fait pendre au nez « compensation pr les dommages subis » etc.

Well done. Facebook (sorry, "Meta"): "Reality Labs has now lost more than $45 billion since the end of 2020, when Meta first began reporting the business segment separately."

Yes, billion with a B.

That's an insane amount of money. I don't even want to go into the whole "think how many hospitals could have been funded with that money".

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/24/metas-reality-labs-posts-3point85-billion-loss-in-first-quarter.html

On the upside, they are consistent in their idiocy and i was wrong to say they'd quietly stopped investing in it. Nope, still going.

Really? It's 2024, i'm pretty sure this is a behaviour that should be enforced by your mail reader rather than me artificially breaking

Also, how many pixels wide is your screen? I mean, it's up to you if you want to read text on the visual equivalent of a pocket pack of tissues at the end of the day i suppose.

Location services in #GNOME are eerily precise. As in, to a few metres. Even when tunnelling all traffic through a Wireguard VPN exiting in a different country.

As someone still a bit scarred by Enemy of the State even 25 years later, that freaks me out.

And a cursory search has not reassured me much. It uses Mozilla location services, that much is clear, but how does it still provide such a precise location when traffic is tunnelled?

https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/privacy-location.html.en provides no info or explanation.
