Tried to uninstall Photoshop and got asked to sign in to Adobe Cloud to proceed.

Have you lost your fucking mind, Adobe?!

Nothing says "you don't own this software" like needing permission to delete it.

Anthropic vient de publier une étude sur les gains en productivité apportés par les outils d'IA pour les développeurs.

Vu que c'est leur business via Claude Code, on aurait pu s'attendre à un bon gros tas de bullshit.

À la surprise générale, ils ont décidé d'être très honnêtes sur les résultats, alors que ceux-ci ne sont pas vraiment à leur avantage.

Voilà l'article en question https://www.anthropic.com/research/AI-assistance-coding-skills

How AI assistance impacts the formation of coding skills

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

Oh Adobe stopped supporting the software you need? As a GNU/Linux user who uses Libre software, I simply draw all my pictures with OpenBufrEdit, which supports vi-keys out of the box, and lets me define my graphics as portable CIELAB XML chunks producing DRM-free SVG data that follows all W3C specs.

Bitlocker is a Microsoft product that encrypts your laptop hard drive etc. Apparently, Microsoft exfiltrates a recovery key for your Bitlocker encryption and stores it in their cloud, they give it out to law enforcement at request. And of course, they give it out to whoever compromises their system and steals that info. Bitlocker is completely worthless trash. Do not rely on it for information security.

Microsoft Gave FBI Keys To Unlock Encrypted Data, Exposing Major Privacy Flaw

The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.

J'en profite pour ajouter qu'en Allemagne c'est risqué sans vpn. Des cabinets d'avocats spécialisés traquent les torrents des ayants droit et t'envoie une lettre d'extorsion pour "régler l'affaire à l'amiable sinon ils te foutent un procès qui sera plus cher encore."

C'est dégueulasse et c'est légal, alors faites attention si jamais vous vous déplacez outre-Rhin.

This year we delivered new Digital Wellbeing features for GNOME including Screen Time history and limits, break reminders for movement and eye health, and improved parental controls with Screen Time integration.

This work was coordinated by the GNOME Foundation thanks to a grant from Endless, and implemented by valued community developers @pwithnall and @ignapk with support from design team member @snwh.
