My wife and I disagree on very few things, but if I had known that she doesn't like stainless steel mixing bowls it might have been a deal breaker.

Ne manquez pas cet entretien avec Raoul Peck, réalisateur du documentaire Orwell : 2+2=5 où il parle de la situation dans nos pays et la cause de la montée du fascisme. Clair, lucid. On apprend beaucoup.

Big Tech is at it again.

Some of you might have seen this already. Google has announced a new policy for Android app developers, which would require them to seek Google’s permission if they want to distribute their apps outside of the Google Play Store (on their own website or on alternative app stores). This would entail:

1) agreeing to their terms and conditions
2) paying a fee
3) uploading a government ID

Which is wrong on so many levels. Nobody should be forced to register with Google if they don’t want to use their services.

In doing so they would be extending their gatekeeping (tentacles) into distribution channels where they’re just not a legitimate authority.

At Vivaldi, we believe you have the right to run whatever software you want on a device you own. That’s why we’ve co-signed this open letter, together with other 53 organisations, requesting Google to back off on the proposed policy before it enters into force.

(Plus, they have have a pretty cool logo 😄)

At this time, there are a hundred ways to learn about what is happening in the world and locally.
THEN: When I was a kid, in Minneapolis, the local TV stations would report on car accidents. TV, AM radio, newspapers, magazines.

NOW: Internet with sites, RSS feeds, apps, social networks of many kinds...

Where do you get your news? Do you subscribe to media? Surf? Look at feeds? Ignore it all?

Hold the front page!

I have found a sure cure for doom scrolling.

Try installing Phillips Hue bluetooth bulbs.

After answering 5 questions about contacting me, having their partners contact me, checking an invisible box that agrees to 10 pages of tos/privacy agreement and more...

Start getting it to detect bulbs that were working yesterday, but the app kept stopping, didn't work and had to be reinstalled.

It takes about 15 min to find a bulb at 2 ft away. So far, 3 of the 6 detected.

I no longer buy from audio books from Amazon/Audible. I like to listen to audiobooks and find this Libro.fm works well for me. It also supports a local book store of your choice.

I had hoped that this kind of thing would succeed. For one thing, I couldn't justify paying an artist for a cover of a track that would earn a few dollars, if anything. It is happening in music now with some platforms paying composers in exchange for using their music, presumably to train models.
