Bonjour, afin de contribuer à la présence des institutions sur Bluesky (et leur permettre de faciliter leur exil de X) , j'ai créé ce starterpack des comptes institutionnels nationaux français présents.

We see something that works, and then we understand it https://lemire.me/blog/2025/12/04/we-see-something-that-works-and-then-we-understand-it/

ALERTE GENERALE !

Une pétition a été lancée sur le site de l'Assemblée nationale demandant que le gouvernement arrête d'utiliser X pour ses communications officielles.
On signe toutes et tous pour lui donner le maximum de visibilité.
C'est ici :

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system. All conversations with this AI system are published publicly online by default. Do not share information you would prefer to keep private.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Je récapitule avec plus de détails : je recherche toujours "Cécile" (on l'appelle comme ça depuis hier avec ma famille), jeune femme ≈25 ans, descendue d'un train hier à la gare de Saint-Vallier-sur-Rhône en laissant derrière elle 1 grand sac en papier rempli de cadeaux. Merci de RT et joyeux Noël 🎄

Arc-en-ciel Lunaire dans le ciel Breton ce soir.

Arc-en-ciel Lunaire dans le ciel Breton ce soir.

Incroyable! En rentrant ce soir j'ai vu un arc-en-ciel lunaire en Bretagne. Conditions parfaites: lune lumineuse avec angle bas + une météo compliquée (averses localisées). Forcément je suis ressortie prendre ça en photo. Tellement contente :)

Inclusion does not mean giving marginalised people shittier versions of a thing: Sure you can give kids from poorer backgrounds an LLM to "learn" but what you are saying is that poor people are not worth having trustworthy sources of information. When you say that older or lonely people can talk to chatbots to feel less alone you are saying that some people are not worth a social life. This is a deeply inhumane perspective that goes actively against the ideas and ideals of inclusion. likesupportcelebrate 186 You and 185 others

Regret to report that there has been another good linkedin post

Lurent Alexandre sur le plateau de Franceinfo, présenté comme “spécialiste de l’intelligence artificielle”.

Laurent Alexandre, suite : “Ce qui important, c’est d’apprendre aux enfants à bien utiliser ChatGPT pour s’augmenter avec l’IA.”
“Avoir une relation quasi amicale avec ChatGPT quand on a des échanges permanents avec lui, c’est un peu normal.”

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Post de Guillaume Deleur qui aurait été signalé et aurait conduit à la suspension de son compte : Les gens : "Trump n'est pas fasciste, allez réviser ce qu'est le fascisme !" Trump : "Les antifascistes sont des terroristes."

c’est quoi cette censure de Guillaume Deleur @gdeleur.bsky.social ?

So my dumb “I’m not an economist” question is this: if most economic growth is concentrated in a few tech companies that mostly rely on advertising, and the rest of the economy isn’t growing as fast, who is paying for all those ads?

Meta Pixel halts Android localhost tracking after disclosure : Zuckercorp and Yandex used localhost loophole to tie browser data to app users, say boffins

Yuck. Meta apps listen on localhost on Android so that tracking scripts can talk to apps, and Meta can monitor your browsing and tie it to identity. Why is that allowed? www.theregister.com/2025/06/03/m...
