Every expert in the world seems to agree that AI will have no meaningful impact on their own line of work but that experts from other fields will eventually be entirely replaced.

Github telling me that I can now use Copilot is a reminder that you, yes you the free software developers with a project on Github, are the one preventing me to delete my account.
Seriously. Get your public projects out of Github.
Vous avez peut-être vu que le CEO d’une compagnie d’assurance santé aux USA a été assassiné.
Dans mes réseaux, tout le monde poste des blagues à ce sujet car ce CEO était une ordure et sa société refusait de rembourser la plupart des frais, jusqu’au médicament pour calmer les nausées des enfants sous chimio. La blague est que chaque personne ayant eu un jour affaire à cette société à un motif valable pour être l’assassin.
Ça semble clair et simple à comprendre, non ?

Mastodon is decentralized developed by volunteers and a handful of people paid by donations. The goal is, like the web, to create a common infrastructure (the Fediverse) that will have no leader and will outlive all of us (like the Web).
Bluesky promises to be decentralized (some day) but is not and is funded by VC. The goal is to make them do a good return on their money sooner or later.
Think about it next time you read something like "feature X is a bit better on Bluesky"
Today in class, I taught my students about decentralized networks, I told them about the XMPP/Google story (see link) and ended with a demonstration of the #fediverse with Mastodon and Peertube.
They are Computer Grad students. They never heard about Mastodon.
I hope some of them will be curious enough to join and that you will warmly welcome them!
The best way to help those who are or will be under a dangerous political regime is to normalize the tools that protect them.
If you use Whatsapp, try to replace as many conversations as you can with Signal.
If you use Gmail or Outlook, switch to an independent privacy preserving provider, at least for your personal emails.
If you use Chrome, switch to Firefox.
By making those tools "normal", you are making them look less suspicious.
If you don’t do it for yourself, do it for others.
« Y’a personne sur Mastodon »
Se traduit par:
« J’ai créé un compte, j’ai posté deux messages mais j’ai 12 followers au lieu des 2543 que j’ai obtenu sur Twitter/X et mon égo ne peut pas se permettre de redescendre si bas »
