I don’t know if it is good (and I haven’t tried it), but I found this the other day: www.cherico.fr

Same thing is true for coffee, prices haven’t increased much in the last 60 years, but the cost of living for the producers has skyrocketed in recent years 😢

Today is "I love Free Software Day".

Thank you to the @commoncrawl.bsky.social Foundation for all their hard work. Onwards! @pjox.bsky.social - So great to meet in person.

I’ll be today at the AI Action Summit in Paris, if you’re attending and want to discuss about @commoncrawl.bsky.social or about open data, please DM me!

Ran the Berlin marathon yesterday and while it was not my best marathon and I was recovering from injury, I had an amazing time. I really hope I can do better next year in Paris where I'll run for cancer research. If you can donate please do so: marathon-paris.dossards-solidaires.org/fundraisers/...

If you can and want to give a donation to the Gustave Roussy Institute, however small, I'd be extremely grateful. If you cannot donate, resharing/boosting is always appreciated! Thank you! ❤️

I decided to run the 2025 Paris Marathon for the Gustave Roussy Institute, the Leading Cancer Centre in Europe. This is a cause close to my heart, as cancer has touched my family, my friends and colleagues:

Ran the Paris Marathon yesterday. It was an amazing experience. Getting into running was probably the best decision I’ve made in recently. It has helped massively with both physical and mental health. I highly recommend any type of physical activity, especially for researchers 🏃🏻‍♂️

Thank you! 😄

It should be criminal to have a public space this big without any place to hydrate, specially with the temperatures we’re experiencing these days 😒

21.6 km run at 7:09 /km peace in Rosensteinpark.

Ran half a marathon today and had to stop to buy water as I was feeling dehydrated and had already finished all my water. Had to pay 5.50 € for that bottle of water just because someone had the amazing idea of building a massive park without any water fountains 😠🥵🏃🏻‍♂️
