Oui, c'est vrai. Mais c'était pratique. Je m'en servais surtout pour avoir le solde de ma carte ticket resto.

Je suis d'accord, mais j'aimerais quand même connaître mon solde via SMS comme avant.

Il y a toujours quelques téléphones KaiOS, S30+ et Mocor qui traînent

I only know Infinitime, wasp-os has some games.

I think it is a blurry line.

Video games have always used terms like "next generation" in marketing, so that does have an influence. My students think PS4 is retro. They think iPhone 13 is retro!

When I was in my early 20s we didn't consider CDs retro or vintage, and that was the early 2000s when the tech was around 30 years old.

Before we also had big jumps, or at least we were told they were big jumps.

Analogue to magnetic tape to digital 8-bit to 16 to 32 to 64...

If I had to write an essay on the topic, I would focus on the aspect of "the way things were..." Meaning that something could be thought of as retro if the process of making it work vastly differs from the current process.

The PS2 didn't have HDMI, but it did have internet connectivity. There were wireless controllers, but they were a little different from today. The TV was probably a CRT so you had to change the channel to make it work. Magazines still had demos sold with them...

My conclusion: a young person can probably figure out how to get a PS2 up and running, so it isn't retro technology, it is just retro gaming.

I don't want to make generalisations. I have worked with people from all around the world as a teacher at an international business school. A thing that comes up quite often is a certain close-mindedness of people in China. I never would have noticed this myself, but it was my own students from China that mentioned it to me. I've only been to China once for 3 weeks and I while talking to people I did hear some comments about other nationalities that made little sense historically. My friend that I was visiting there basically said that anything bad that happens in China is caused by foreigners or Uyghurs which sounds like BS to me.

Why a child, though? That's some evil shit. Get that person's phone and look at ther social media, I bet their WeChat is filled with anti-Japanese shit.

The majority of my international students are very worldly and open-minded, and every year there are more like them.

Loved Nier: Automata. I didn't finish it completely, I think I got through Nines' playthrough and stopped after that and sold the game.

That music sticks in your head though! Have you seen the Anime?

I'm trying to get into shmups. Just playing whatever I can find on sale on Switch. Mostly Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix on loop. I think I might be getting better!

Yes

Tabs and Windows

Open new thunar instances as tabs

Whenever you launch thunar while an existing thunar window is already open, a new tab will be added to the existing thunar window instead of opening a new window.

This could be a Thunar setting or a xfwm4 setting in addition to being a FF setting.

I ended up using Khal too. Hesitant at first, it wound up being good enough for me, especially when it comes to mass importing events. It syncs with my CalDav and phone when using vdirsyncer. 5 to 10 minutes fiddling with the config and haven't needed to change anything in years.

 

“We want to parent our kids until they're 18 and ready to make decisions by themselves. Whatever decision they make later, that's a decision as an adult."

The harder you parent, the stronger your children push back.

For a group of concerned parents, they seem to know less than me, and I've only been parenting for about 6 years.

Parental influence on behaviour begins dropping around the age of 6. At that point external influences, like friends at school, stat becoming more important. By adolescence it has dropped to around 50%. By 20 it is 0%. When you let a kid breathe and make mistakes, they will listen to you without needing overbearing control...

Clearly, this whole thing stinks of money. They are buying targeted ads on FB and adding a layer of embarrassment that will see Canada mocked and ridiculed. This is a hate group.

 

Choice quote:

Elliot McDavid, another convoy organizer who made headlines harassing Chrystia Freeland last year, believes the Government of Alberta is colluding with insurance companies to produce child pornography and has claimed children are being “hunted down like animals” and “thrown in a rail car” by “degenerates on horseback.”

Encounters (Netflix 2023) (www.youtube.com)

I watched this docuseries this week.

It is very good. I am not a /r/UFOs lurker, but I do enjoy hearing these stories from time to time.

Aside from being produced by Amblin, this series has some things going for it:

  • You can watch it in any order you wish
  • There is no real call to action, and very few documentary tricks used... I didn't stop to see if the people bein interviewed actually worked for NASA, though
  • 4 episodes, 4 countries, 4 perspectives and reactions, 4 classic cases
    • The Ariel School Incident
    • The Stephenville, Texas, sightings
    • The Broad Haven Triangle
    • The Fukushima Sightings
  • The episodes are self-contained discussion starters

I'd only ever heard about the Ariel School Incident.

Anyway, if you are into this or not, and you want to see something presented in a level-headed way that crosses cultural boundaries, this is a decent docuseries.

C'est l'histoire d'une dame qui décide d'adopter un chat errant. Mais il ne s'agissait pas d'un chat, mais d'une chatte... enceinte.

SEVERAL MONTHS LATER [^1]

C'est l'histoire d'une dame qui a plus de 30 chats et chatons chez elle et comme vous pouvez imaginer, la situation n'est pas idéale.

Elle ne sait pas quoi faire ni qui appeler. Donc, elle ne fait rien.

Mais, une lueur d'espoir. La dame est en voyage et son fils est chez elle. Il veut trouver une solution.

Avez-vous des idées ?

Problèmes

  • donner les chats : ça veut dire les pucer et l'argent n'est pas là
  • donner les chats sans les pucer : on peut le dénoncer, ce qui me semble un peu normal
  • refuges : il n'en a pas trouvé dans son coin qui accepte les chats
  • la loi : apparemment, il y a une limite de 9 chats/chiens par personne et il faut identifier les chats avec les dates de naissance, etc.---choses que la dame n'a pas faites.

[^1]: je ne sais pas combien, on ne veut pas me dire...

 

Il se trouve que Le Tronche en Biais s'est fait bloqué ici et là sur Mastodon.

Je ne suis pas abonné à son YT, mais j'ai déjà vu passé les vidéos. Qu'en pensez vous de ses vidéos ?

 

From The Unrelenting Songs of the 1979 Post Disco Crash (2004)

Not my favourite track from the album, but this video always makes me smile.

The song 10 Amazing Years is probably my favourite due to the mashup-sample use.

[LXQt] Just Nord (beehaw.org)
 

Screenshot is a few days old, but nothing has changed on my desktop in months.

Just a boring LXQt w/Openbox installation on Alpine Linux. Only fun thing is that I did this without qt5ct or kvantum.

 

It is perhaps another sign of how bad things have become with Google's search results—full of algorithmically generated junk sites—that publications like CNET are driven to such extremes to stay above the sea of noise.

(The Legendary) Buck 65 has just released Drum Study 1, 2, and 3

This coming Friday (August 4) is a Bandcamp Friday. I have made the decision to share the work I’ve been doing for all these years. I’ll be uploading three hour-long (roughly) mega-compositions that include all the work I’ve done so far. They won’t be like anything you’ve heard before. Together, it’s an unrelenting sonic onslaught. It’s a walk across hot coals. It’s Saint Anthony’s journey across the desert. I don’t know if it will mean anything to anyone else but it means everything to me. If you can handle it, I hope you enjoy. If you listen close, you’ll hear lots of little ideas that were later re-purposed for parts on King Of Drums and Super Dope.^1
