Bienvenue ! Vous vous rappelez les blogs ? A une époque, ce site en était un. Maintenant, c’est surtout une archive de mes multiples comptes Twitter.
You can make an egg geode through a process called sedimentation. An alum solution contains suspended particles of alum powder and as the solution cools, these particles begin settling on the egg shell [how to make one: [buff.ly]]
An Amazon worker died of a heart attack, laying on floor for 20 mins before someone spotted him
“A couple of days before, he put the wrong product in the wrong bin and within two minutes management saw it on camera and came down to talk to him about it”
There is absolutely not enough of an outcry over iOS 13 messing up tap cancellation when scrolling. If there is one thing that was essential to the first iPhone’s identity, it’s how magical and perfect scrolling felt. Twelve years of progress and it now mistakes scrolls for taps.
Vampyr (PC) —
There are good ideas in there, a good effort on dialogue and character development, and the combat isn’t even bad, but the game somehow manages to be less than its parts, mostly because of the repetitive combat encounters, and also that final act.
🚨Un OVNI journalistique qui nous vient tout droit de chez @LaCroix : un papier sur le voile avec uniquement des intervenantes… musulmanes ! Des femmes qui le portent, ne le portent pas ou plus, et qui nous expliquent pourquoi. 👏🏻 [la-croix.com]
So much nostalgia in this let’s play
It’s odd that I know I reached the tree (must have had a guide?) but I can’t remember most of the rooms and puzzles.
Le boulot sur les graphismes 😲
(Je ne vous conseille pas la toute dernière vidéo pour bien démarrer le weekend.)
I really need Grindstone to add an endless random mode and/or a daily score attack, because trying to go through the innkeeper challenges after 100%ing the levels is too much of a chore to be enjoyable.
When I saw Oprah interview Michelle Obama, Oprah asked how Michelle got over feeling intimidated sitting at big tables filled with smart, powerful men and Michelle said, “You realize pretty quickly that a lot of them aren’t that smart.” I think about that quote every single day.
Ils ne sont pas les seuls, certes, mais les Français sont les derniers champions autoproclamés de l’universalisme, les derniers à estimer que le monde irait mieux si tous les autres pays ressemblaient davantage à la France.
Alors ça coince, forcément.

Le point de fixation qu’est le voile, en France, relève d’un phénomène plus large.
Nombre de Français éprouvent des difficultés avec l’Autre, l’altérité, celui qui ne me ressemble pas.

This move should turn straight Pokémon gay. Cowards. [twitter.com]
both Gear VR and Daydream got the axe this year.
I think it’s safe to say that the idea of phone-based VR is dead and gone
Aujourd’hui mon Pinterest s’est découvert une passion pour les activités de développement psychomoteur des enfants en bas-âge 🤨
Aahhh je n’avais pas vu qu’on pouvait enfin enregistrer ses filtres préférés pour de story Instagram 🙌
Discontinuing Daydream while asking people to believe that Stadia is going to be a long-term thing is a bold play, but let’s see if it works out for ‘em.
NEW piece from me: We’re missing the important question about China. The mystery isn’t why Apple and NBA are quick to cave but why the Chinese government threw a fit over minor things—and why now? That answer isn’t obvious but it’s greatly consequential. [theatlantic.com]
Ooooh Beat Saber has achievements now.
Getting the expert achievements doesn’t give you the lower-difficulty ones 😒
La Tribune du Monde intitulée “Jusqu’où laisserons-nous passer la haine des musulmans?” n’étant pr l’instant dispo qu’aux abonnés, je me permet de la partager ici compte tenu de son importance face à la gravité de ce qui se passe dans notre pays.

Google’s announcing new phones today, so I hope you’ll take a few moments to read how unwitting, mostly black homeless people became part of the Pixel 4’s development process [theatlantic.com]
Are we supposed to believe that the new Nest Mini has better sound than the much bigger Google Home, or should I buy a three-year-old device that is so obsolete they haven’t even bothered to rename it “Nest Something”?
Every year Google’s keynote makes me kinda want to buy a Pixel just as a dedicated camera, but I don’t have that sort of disposable income and switching to Android is a forever nope.
(Okay, not quite forever if Apple keeps its current trajectory.)
Uber passengers don’t wear seatbelts. Nonsmokers vape. Waze clogs streets not meant for heavy traffic. All examples of tech services eroding hard-won public-safety measures, because for tech there is no public, only individuals. @ibogost explains [theatlantic.com]
Wow, Outer Worlds is looking REALLY solid. The Fallout game we’ve all been waiting for.

Power went out. It never occurred to me before but I went to my laptop’s wifi menu to enable tethering and, oh, that’s a real good test of whether the power’s out in the whole building.
Je suis pédé, anti-fasciste, et plus que jamais solidaire avec les musulman-es, en particulier les femmes voilées, contre cette énième explosion de haine sexiste et islamophobe.
Une consultation chez le médecin ou le dentiste est moins chère qu’une coupe chez le coiffeur. Une infirmière à domicile est rémunérée l’équivalent d’un Happy meal par patient. Une séance de kiné est facturée l’équivalent d’un ticket de cinéma. Continuez de mépriser vos soignants
En trois jours, on passe easy d’une humiliation par un élu d’extreme droite, d’une instrumentalisation, d’un ministre qui dit “pas souhaitable”, d’un sondage qui dit “oh, tous le monde y est favorable”, à BIM, une proposition de loi.
Quelle honte. [twitter.com]
subtweet to writers of tv programs about supernatural phenomena: learn the correct singular and plural forms of the word “phenomena”
Donc je résume 🙃🙃🙃
- Des supporters racistes font des cris de singe, on débat du racisme anti blanc.
- Un élu islamophobe humilie une mère de famille, on débat du voile.
L’extrême droite continue d’imposer son agenda.
Inmost is very good (except for the end, where they gave up on making a game) but it’s really fucking dark, making it an odd choice for Apple Arcade, a service many parents will consider as a cheap baby-sitter and on which they’ll give their children free rein.

It’s probably just for users in China, but it doesn’t cost much to disable Fraudulent Website Warning anyway out of principle.
Also, can we assume that only users configured in the Mainland China region are having their data sent to Tencent? That warning is pretty damn broad.
I remember when I discovered Fusion 360 and fell in love with its promise. Two years later, they haven’t improved on any of the UI’s pain points and I hate it. But I need it, because it’s the only 3D modeling workflow I can wrap my head around, and I can’t afford Rhino.
Art Plunge is worth it just for Mona Lisa
Seeing her up-close in VR — and very well recreated — might be the first time I’ve understood the fascination with her eyes and smile. (I’m incapable of “entering” a painting by my own means.)
A must-read for prospective Catalyst developers; look at how much thought went into redesigning LookUp for Mac Catalyst, which as a result is one of the nicest Mac-like apps of the launch lineup [medium.com]
The writing, sharp, funny, acerbic and sometimes delightfully vulgar; the visuals; the voice acting; the songs; the songs! the songs are incredible.
I’m enjoying Inmost, but of course I hate playing it on a touchscreen
I could pair a gamepad to my iPad, but then the 11” screen would be much farther away from me than I like. Yet it’d be weird buying on Steam a game I got ‘for free’ with Apple Arcade.
Apple Told Some Apple TV+ Show Developers Not To Anger China- hey and don’t mention that Turkey is bad. We sell a lot of watches there. And don’t mention Saudi Arabia murdering journalists- they love the iMac and don’t mention Russia—big iPad market. [buzzfeednews.com]
Digital Photography Review: “iPhone 11’s Portrait Mode sets a high bar for the Pixel 4”
As much as I’ve hated the very idea of portrait mode, I must admit that these test shots all look really good.
In Japan, the practice of folding chopstick wrappers into figurines is particularly widespread. So much so that six years ago, Yuki Tatsumi began collecting the little origami sculptures left behind, and now has around 15,000. [trib.al]
