Justice France Violences
Il existe une forme de violence dont on parle rarement : celle qui consiste à faire attendre. Je suis tombé sur une vidéo évoquant Pas de lettre pour le colonel, de Gabriel García Márquez. Dans ce roman, un ancien colonel attend depuis quinze ans une...

DisInfo2026 FIMI Europe USA
Apparently, asking whether the United States interferes in Europe is still too uncomfortable for some of the institutions supposed to defend us against foreign interference. Rapporteur reports that the EEAS, Lithuania’s foreign ministry and Global Af...

Gouvernance Prévoyance Démocratie
Nous savons prévoir. Vous avez décidé de ne pas gouverner. Les enfants qui entreront à l’école en septembre 2031 sont nés. Vous les avez comptés. 643 905. Vous savez où ils vivent. Vous avez publié des projections jusqu’en 2070. Et en septembre 2031,...

Bouddhisme DalaiLama
Il y a quatre ans, presque jour pour jour, ARTE diffusait “Bouddhisme, la loi du silence” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcbpwOzoejw le documentaire d’Élodie Emery et Wandrille Lanos. Un véritable ovni télévisuel, qui a pourtant failli ne jamais êtr...

politics Trump
There are at least two obvious ways to imagine Donald Trump trying to remain president after 2028. The first is the constitutional loophole: someone close to him — perhaps one of his children — runs for president with Trump as vice president, wins, t...

WordPress indiekit
So today it was fires both at work and privately : I successfully intercepted what appears to have been an attempt to compromise chardonsbleus.org. Two administrator accounts were created within a very short period of time. At first, I assumed the us...

Meta Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg’s manifesto rests on a single elegant idea: safety comes from distributing power so no one actor can impose their will. It’s a fine principle. It’s also the exact opposite of how he has run everything he has ever touched . Start with...

RSS RSC
Depuis vingt ans, chaque tentative de « réinventer » le web social commence par la même étape : inventer un protocole. XMPP, OStatus, ActivityPub, AT Protocol, Nostr. À chaque fois la promesse est la même, à chaque fois le coût d’entrée est le même :...

Canicule Climat Politique
Il y a quelque chose d’absurde dans notre manière de répondre à l’urgence climatique. À chaque nouvelle canicule, on nous parle de volets, d’isolation, de climatisation, de fontaines, de piscines publiques temporairement accessibles et de quelques ar...

indieweb RSS opml
Most of the talk about RSS is about publishing. A feed is something your site emits: you write a post, and the feed is the machine-readable copy that goes out the door. Almost every blog does this. It is the easy half, and it has been solved for twen...

Justice
Je pense qu’il y a quelque chose de profondément humain dans notre besoin d’expliquer les dysfonctionnements par des intentions. Lorsqu’un système échoue, lorsqu’une institution ne répond pas à sa mission, nous cherchons instinctivement un responsabl...

Brexit Disinformation
When historians write about the decline of democratic institutions in the early twenty-first century, they may not focus on artificial intelligence, deepfakes or social media algorithms. They may focus on a bus. A red bus promised that leaving the Eu...

plume indieweb micropub Claude
I got annoyed. Every time I wanted to bookmark a page or jot down a note, I’d open the Indiekit admin UI in a new tab, paste a URL, and click around. Small friction. But small friction repeats forever. So two days ago I started a brainstorm with Clau...

DalaiLama TibetanBuddhism
The Dalai Lama’s message calls for peace, compassion, and dialogue. On the surface, it is hard to disagree with any of that. But there is a deeper problem in how this message is framed. By grouping together vastly different situations under the singl...

TLDR; What it does : Polls RSS/Atom/JSON feeds, extracts article content, detects word-level changes, shows inline diffs on a web UI, posts to the fediverse (threaded AP bot) and Bluesky, generates diff card images server-side. Stack : SvelteKit + Dr...

Cults Trump politics Netanyahou Khamenei
I was born and grew up inside an authoritarian Tibetan Buddhist hippie community that slowly revealed itself to be a cult . Why am I telling you this? Because once you have lived inside a coercive system, you begin to recognize patterns that others m...

My Eleventy site builds 3,400+ pages with data from over a dozen APIs (GitHub, Funkwhale, Last.fm, YouTube, Mastodon, Bluesky, and several Indiekit endpoints). The initial build was taking 38 seconds, and incremental rebuilds — triggered by a single...
