via @wilreynolds.bsky.social, who's right that this is an absolutely excellent and heartwrenching read.

It's not untrve.

Back to the routine this morning. Autumn is shaping up to be HOT 🔥 (work, @hackfest.bsky.social , university, teenager). Surprisingly looking forward to all of it! Proof that the summer holidays did me a lot of good!

December vacations will do some good 🤣

Vacations 2025: a recap

Last day of vacation here, and I spent it in a bit of an odd mood. There was a massive cleanup of both the front and back yards, and I realized I was way more upset than I thought about losing so much greenery. It cast a bigger shadow over my mood than I expected, and…

Par une marche un soir de vacances...

Walking while in vacation...

me: stop clicking “show” when something nsfw pops up under the dog feed. it’s furry porn. you don’t like furry porn.

me, later: [clicks show] aw damnit what the fuck

And a couple hours later, after a cleanup by my landlords

two women standing next to each other with one saying " but what you don t know is that that sweater is not just blue Alt: The Devil Wears Prada clip where Miranda Priestly explains how the fashion industry starts with a cerulean trend that eventually trickles down to Andy's pedestrian blue sweater. This is the gif for the line "but what you don t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean"

Watching the tech industry's AI push (and surrounding debates) feels a lot like watching the cerulean sweater moment in The Devil Wears Prada:

A small group of people at the top decide this *is* happening, the question is how it will trickle down to the "regular sweater" version for others.

Last weekend of vacations, more reading under the sun on my terrasse!

Dernier weekend de vacances, et il va faire beau et chaud. Bonheur total!

J'aurai RIEN CRISSER de mes vacances, mais justement, j'avais besoin de rien crisser, relaxer, lire, chiller dans ma cour avec mes chats, pis juste enjoy le temps qui passe!

C'est tellement l'une des rares affaires que j'aime des bébés: leur rire si pur et joyeux

Ma génération d'internet VS l'internet de mon ado

My Internet back in the days VS my teenager's Internet today

People want to escape the sad realities of this world with frivolous news and cultural posts, and want to ignore genocide and climate changes. The privileges of being able to ignore all the sufferings of this world

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Interesting threads! 🧵

...and the joy of reconfiguring everything on a new cell phone.

At least it's coral pink Shiny!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeee (for the curious: Galaxy Flip 7, which reminds me a lot of my pink moto razr from back in the days!)

...et la joie de tout reconfigurer sur un nouveau cellulaire.

At least il est rose shiny!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeee (pour les curieux: Galaxy Flip 7, qui me rappelle énormément mon moto razr rose de l'époque!)

Petit bonheur post-spectacle

Here are the questions that @itch.io, @drivethrurpg.com, and any other company that tries to justify this kind of action has to answer:

1) Who decides if something is NSFW?
2) What's to keep any unpopular group of people from being labelled as 'inappropriate' and removed?

And most importantly,

Show of Kizaba at the Square Sir-George-Etienne-Cartier by the City of Montreal et l'Arrondissement du Sud-Ouest

Afrofuturist vibes and music, dancing people in front of the stage...it's amazing!

#music #show #montreal #montrealsummer

Être en vacance, c'est en profiter pour aller chiller, boire un bon ptit gin tonic, pis me gaver de poutine en après-midi ben relax au bar sportif du coin!

Weeeeeeeeee😎

Si j'ai du monde métalleux qui veulent se starter un band....!

Profiter du dehors...

Enjoying the outside...

Vacances et lecture...

Reading in vacations...

That being said, I have lots of sympathy for coders who have to deal with this shit

I am so happy I don't code anymore! Not having to deal with this kind of possible vulnerability to dependencies has greatly lowered my stress level in a year!
