"The closure of 'tabacs' (small local café-bars in France) contributes to the progression of far-right voting... regardless of immigration, unemployment or other economic indicators...

"Symmetrically, the opening of tabacs is associated with a decline in far-right voting, suggesting that these dynamics are not irreversible.

"No other commercial closure produces a comparable effect. The specificity of tabacs lies in their function as a place of socialisation... The effects are three times stronger in rural communities, where these establishments often constitute the last place of sociability...

"When places of sociability disappear, politics becomes a face-off between atomised individuals and national media narratives."

I wonder is the same holds true for village pubs in the UK

This shouldn't still need saying in 2026 but all else being equal women are just as capable of doing anything - coding, understanding maths, running a company, training consistently as an athlete, doing science - as men are and you can't deny that and call yourself a feminist. But you also can't call yourself a feminist if you deny that everything else is not equal and the way society is currently structured women face more barriers to doing these things than men do.

#ClimateDiary This really is a wonderful Easter present. Greens leading UK polls!
For those of you not in UK: this is unprecedented, and as little as six months ago pretty unimaginable. Happy Eastear everyone!

Our next #HitchinHackspace weekly open evening is on Easter Monday 6th April. We still hold our open evenings on Bank Holidays.

We will be open from 19:30 until 22:00 to give folks who may be interested in what we do, and what facilities we can provide, a chance to come and have a look round and meet some of our members.
All are welcome. If you have ever wondered what we did to convert a derelict toilet into a hackspace, or what a "hackspace" is for that matter, come and have a look around.
If you like to create, make or craft things why not pay us a visit?
We have tools and equipment that cover a wide range of hobbies, crafts and technologies: woodwork, metalwork, electronics, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, sewing, 3D printing.....
Free tea, coffee and a biscuit or two.🫖☕🍪🙂

Forgive me for not getting excited about the Artemis II launch, or mission.

I cannot celebrate *anything* the USA does that doesn't involve dealing with its fascism problem.

I am "4GB of RAM is a ludicrously huge amount of RAM for a webserver" years old.

I'm a big fan of this explanation/rant from Andrew Murphy.

Taken as a whole, there are many bottlenecks in a corporate software development process. The "load-bearing" calendar is a great example!

Speeding up code creation just increases pressure on the bottleneck, which decreases throughput.

AI coding tools are optimising the wrong thing and nobody wants to hear it. Writing code was already fast. The bottleneck is everything else: unclear requirements, review queues, terrified deploy cultures, and an org chart that needs six meetings to decide what colour the button should be.

If you have got the following very specific thing to work, please let me know how!

ssh, using ed25519-sk or ecdsa-sk, with a YubiKey with FIDO2, on Android (specifically GrapheneOS), with a Free software client

My tinkering with termux has, so far, failed.
