Putin and Trump negotiating the end of the war (or something that looks like it) without Ukraine is like a couple who is about to divorce, but the husband is negotiating with a not-so-random guy, leaving his wife aside, how to split the couple’s assets. This is beyond ridiculous and utterly outrageous.

I updated the blog theme plugin to add support for Micro.blog summaries. In order to work, I had to disable showing the full post on the main page, which triggers the display of the summary with a “Continue reading” link. Is it a better reading experience for my readers? You tell me, please. I’m not sure.

I can’t count the number of times I wish I had maintained an archive of all my screenshots over the years, even going back to the earliest days when we could take screenshots of screens. 🤦🏻♂️😔

I’m not too fond of text quotes shared as beautiful pictures (coming from Readwise, for example), especially if they don’t come with ALT text description. They look pretty, though. Here’s an example. I don’t like them because they hinder content indexing in some ways.

As reported by Engadget and many others:
According to researchers, anyone who knows where to look can spray digital graffiti on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) website. Two web development experts said the site doesn’t seem to be hosted on government servers and that the database it pulls from can be modified by those who locate it. At the time of writing, a message reading “these ‘experts’ left their database open - roro” is still visible on the DOGE site.
Thanks, I feel much more confident now.

Another big snowstorm is coming right at us this Sunday. It should be a bit smaller is intensity compared to yesterday’s storm. So far, snow accumulation estimated range is 20-30 cm. ❄️

In these troubled times, the worst is to depend on social networks for anything.

The Rotten Side of Tim Cook’s Apple: Should I write a take 2 to this piece published in 2020? I think so.

First, Tim gives his money to this orange clown and dictator and assist the presidential circus inauguration and now Apple resumes advertising on X? This is not the Apple that I want. 😡

Testing Micro Social! Great start! @gregmorris !

It's Time to Vote With My Money
DHH at 37 Signals praising Musk for his business (and now) government spending management is yet another red flag and a no-go for me. I won’t link to this post. I’m going to vote with my money and cancel my HEY Mail subscription this fall when my subscription is expiring. If Musk buys ChatGPT, I’ll again vote with my money and cancel my ChatGPT subscription in due time. As Trump is imposing 25% tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, I’ll vote with my money and cancel my yearly business trip to the US this fall. Continue reading →

A rather big one is coming at us this Thursday, the first big snow storm of the season. Mostly heavy snow, rather weak winds. North shore of Montreal to get the most snow. Working from home that day for sure.

There is something that I wish was different with blogs hosted on WordPress: commenting and liking. I never comment on those blogs because I don’t like Gravatar or I don’t want to create a WordPress.com account just to write a comment. Again this morning, I clicked on “Like” on a blog post and for some reason, my email prefix was displayed, and I don’t remember having a Gravatar account still active. In fact, it didn’t have one, after some checks. I prefer to log in using something like my Mastodon-friendly identity or Sign in with Apple. I want the blog to give me more choices than their own authentication service (and I don’t want to use my Google account, nor Facebook login). In fact, I want an identity provider that doesn’t build a social graph or bases his business model on where I’m headed on the web.
Am I alone with this thinking?

Just finished some subscriptions cleaning on YouTube. I was following way too many channels, many of which are dead. I came to do this this morning because I was looking for low-volume channels to add to Reeder. Low volume streams are the best to add to an app like Reeder. The sum of low volume content channels eventually lead to high-volume content to look at.
