TIL that as power supplies age, their output voltage can drift. Case in point: my router's power supply outputting 26V... where it's rated for 12! Fortunately the switch works with a brand new power supply (I'm not brave enough to try fixing the faulty one) #til #electronics

Je prépare une vidéo pour partager toutes les astuces afin de réduire les risques d’accident à vélo ! Partagez vos situations où vous avez eu un accrochage : ça m’aidera à dresser la liste des lieux les plus dangereux ou inattendus. Merci pour votre aide ! Bonne route !

Comment finir la bataille vélos vs voitures ? (analyse de complément d’enquête) youtu.be/h_st0xwTMEg J’en profite pour revenir sur la polémique des feux où les cyclistes sont autorisés à passer au rouge, et pour apporter des réponses à Pierre Chasseray, de l’association 40M d’automobilistes.

Happy Release of #nin's Tron: Ares OST Day to those who celebrate #tronares #music

Wow, that Nintendo Direct was rather underwhelming. I was expecting at least a new Super Mario game for Mario's 40th anniversary. I guess Super Mario Galaxy 2 will do for the moment.

Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. We’ve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week 💬 Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5 […]

Pff, je suis contacté depuis plusieurs jours par des recruteurs qui proposent des taffs dans des boîtes qui lèvent des thunes avec la promesse de l'"""IA""", ça me turbo-fatigue...

One of the ways that LLM-authored code improves productivity is by merely SAYING it does things. It's way faster than the whole time-consuming process of actually doing things. This is real code someone sent to me for review.

Oh, il est vicieux ce dark pattern vu sur le site de #ouigo #darkpattern #SNCF

Attendez, #deezer propose toujours d'envoyer ses propres MP3, même après toutes ces années ??? Je pensais que cette fonctionnalité n'était qu'un reliquat de feu Blogmusik pour palier au manque de catalogue des débuts et qu'elle avait été depuis abandonnée !

Super smart visual tension and analogy.

Today is the two year anniversary of 404 Media, which is hard to fathom. We wrote about how it's going, what we've done, what we're going to do, and what we've learned. We cannot do this without the support of our subscribers and for that we are endlessly thankful […]

And now thanks to @chaosexanima I can show you how the retractation works: - you get a notification when someone quotes you - on their post, you have a new menu to remove their quote of your post - you confirm, and your quote is removed and shown as having been […] [Original post on oisaur.com]

Coming soon on your Mastodon server… The long awaited quote posts, with user-control (you can chose if you want to be quoted on a per-post basis, change it later, and retract any quote of your post) Amazing work by the team 🎉 Expect a blog post with all the […] [Original post on oisaur.com]

All the LLM tools are like 100 pages of markdown pleading with the model to be a real boy, 100k lines of boilerplate, but it's the 100 lines of handrolled crypto, and 100 lines of hardcoded leaking every byte of data that passes through them that really makes them shine

Bon, je vous fait un petit fil sur mon aventure avec mon GPS de vélo #wahoo parce que c’est instructif. Jusque 2017, je roule avec mon smartphone attaché à mon guidon. J’investis dans un GPS #wahoo bolt v1 et ma vie change : plus de distractions en roulant, plus de soucis d’autonomie, plus de […]

August 1st - Googler asks the community if XSLT should be removed from the HTML living standard. https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11523 Respondents overwhelmingly reject the suggestion. August 6th - Google starts work on removing XSLT from Chrome […]

#Meta’s flirty #ai #chatbot invited a retiree to New York. He never made it home. A 76 year old New Jersey man grew infatuated with “Big sis Billie,” a #facebook Messenger chatbot with a young woman’s persona that purported to be real, even giving the man a real address in NYC to come be with […]

AI Is A Money Trap https://www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-a-money-trap/

Has anyone heard of #nicole recently? I hope she's alright.

For the love of god can we stop anthropomorphising LLMs. No, ChatGPT did not "come up with an excuse" or "think about its mistakes". Gemini did not "lie about its reasoning" or "struggle to understand basic concepts". Grok didn't "decide to praise Nazis" or "express it's support for genocide" […]

Je viens d'avoir une interaction assez drôle à #vélo : je montais une rue bien pentue quand une passagère d'une voiture m'interpelle. Elle : "C'est un vélo électrique ?" Moi, essoufflé : "Oui !" Elle, à un autre passager de la voiture : "Tu vois, je te l'avais dit !" Elle, à moi : "Bravo à vous […]

Oh great, now chatbots are employed by some companies in order to screen candidates... https://fortune.com/2025/08/03/ai-interviewers-job-seekers-unemployment-hiring-hr-teams/ #ai #hiring #hr #chatbot #fuckai

I hate to be "that guy", but Spotify *is* evil, and it's been evil for years. Thank gawd their asinine attempt to destroy podcasting and replace it with a proprietary paywalled content silo failed utterly…but they continue to wreak havoc on the beleaguered indie music industry (the recent […]

Live coding interviews measure stress, not coding skils https://hadid.dev/posts/living-coding/ #jobinterview #livecoding

Goshdarnit, my Sony WH-1000XM4 shows once again the signs of a faulty noise-cancelling microphone. I think this time I won't go cheap and buy microphones that were probably harvested from "recycled" units, I'll buy new microphones from Farnell or similar. #repair #headphones #sony #sonywh1000xm4

Yet another proof that the #WordPress plug-in ecosystem is shoddy: a donation plug-in was exposing every donators' email addresses in the page's source code 🤦‍♂️ https://pi-hole.net/blog/2025/07/30/compromised-donor-emails-a-post-mortem/

Oh, the new #nineinchnails track from the #tronares soundtrack is pretty good actually. Curious to hear what the rest of the OST sounds like. https://nineinchnails.lnk.to/AAAYNMTB #nin #music

Google's emissions are up over 50%, Amazon builds huge data centers powered by 75% natural gas. Remember all those posts telling us that "AIs climate impact isn't that bad" supported by some really funky math/perspective and/or numbers Sam Altman invented? Here's the actual impact. "AI" is a […]

Je ne sais pas à quel point l''auto-promo" est mal vue sur Mastodon, mais je me dois de vous partager cette table ronde sur l'économie circulaire que mon employeur a co-organisé et que j'ai capté (avec mon matos perso, sur un jour de congés !) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls0aLxpewHI […]

J'ai testé pour vous : initialiser un projet React en étant connecté au Wi-Fi du TGV. Très mauvaise idée, ça met un temps interminable. #webdev #react #nodejs

I just edited a video in #kdenlive for the first time in 5 or 6 years, and wow, what a nice piece of free software! Now it can even generate subtitles (with many errors unfortunately) using a local speech recognition model and use NVENC to encode videos. #libre #FreeSoftware #foss
