The foundation series by apple is pretty bad.

How bad? The absolute best part is a part not present at all in the books (the Cleons). Everything related to the book is bastardised, imo.


Efficient and useful report system. So far I’ve reported only one dude’s soundboard which repeated the N word (hard R btw)


Fi est très proche de eelv , et Jadot est un antivax, ça sert a rien de le cacher. Je crois que Mélenchon a déjà critiqué les vaccins par le passé, mais sur le coup je peux me tromper.

Par contre, globalement lfi est plutot pro-islam ( https://www.lefigaro.fr/politique/loi-separatisme-plutot-que-l-islamisme-les-deputes-insoumis-preferent-s-attarder-sur-le-christianisme-20210204 , anecdotique + lefigaro, mais bon)

Et oui pour Macron c’est 100% de la version simplifiée et gentille, j’ai pas mis qu’il transformait la France en état policier, que c’était un menteur et un destructeur de démocratie, c’est vrai.

Et merci pour le compliment pour notre extrĂŞme droite :p

Ça se voit que je déteste tout le monde sans exception ?

(Sorry for English viewers, I’m not translating that)



We don’t have a dual parties system (we used to but Macron destroyed it somehow), now it’s more like 3 parties and satellite. It’s not that much the democracy system that’s broken, rather politicians.


I’ve said it already, and I’m saying it again :

France politics have 3 paths :

  • Kinda extreme left ; anti vaxxers, anti nuclear, pro islam, pro immigration, anti NATO, anti Europe, pro-russia and pro-dictatorships overall (MĂ©lenchon)

  • Extreme right : anti ecology, deeply pro-rich (anti union), overall neo-fascists as you would except, very much anti Europe, anti NATO, pro-putin and pro-russia. (le Pen)

  • Macron, who is pro-rich, but not pro-putin and kinda Nato-friendly and Europe friendly.

We need to build back guillotines.


I have yet to meet a LLM that works decently locally. Wizard Uncensored is the closest, but the context length is too short, it keeps repeating itself after some time



Google is still the GOAT for very specific questions. Like “docker network bridge partial packet loss” , throw it into bing/dfg/qwang and you just end up with “what is a network bridge in docker”


If you’re having fun and are aware of it, that’s a sin.


I guess you don’t like what they end up calling “mentalic” then?

By sequels, I was talking two propers novels about the chase for earth, not “foundation and empire” or “second foundation” (which I both really like)


Hottest would be 41°C, in 2003 and last year (France)

Coldest, -35°C, Québec Carnaval in 2016. I stayed about two hours in that temperature, I started to have cold burn in my fingers and my toes.

Would take -35 over 41 all day.


Harvestmen are fine tho, they have nearly invisible legs, and legs are what repulsme me so hard.

Fuck huntsman spiders.


Huntsman don’t make webs tho, are huge and repulsive, run very fast and tend to let themselves fall off the wall. I’ve moderate to intense arachnophobia, and I’ve one fall on my bed one night. Not pleasant at all.


What you call the first book is maybe the integral trilogy?

To me the first book ends with hober mallow, and the trilogy ends with arkady.

The prequels follows hari seldon and is kinda neat, it’s kinda more adventurous and less political but very pleasant to follow.

Dors venabili best girl, can’t change my mind.


Dunno if I’m biaised because it’s recent, but books :

Foundation cycle from Asimov.(especially the original trilogy). It’s SF from 1940’s. Yet it holds superbly well , minus the absolute lack of computers. The universe it depicts is absolutely stunning, and some characters (salvor <3) are absolutely amazing.

I haven’t read (or to be precise, listened to) the robots cycle, because it’s not yet available in french. I did listened to the empire cycle, and it was WAY more underwhelming. Also the two sequels for foundation are just plain bad (but I love the prequels)


Doing it in the shower is the second best place to do it, after the toilet.


fairphone has no jack and has an underpowered chip. The librem is fucking hell expensive and even more underpowered.

For the pogo pins i was more looking like the pinephone(s), but they are not power-efficient


I’ve had on my mind for some months to create a company to build “the perfect phone”

Repairable, big swappable battery, headphone jack, pogo pins for modular extensions, rootable easily and open sourcing a maximum of it.


Oh fuck off with that charging times.

Assuming this battery will be 150kwh (which is a conservative estimate for such a range)

Let’s ignore even heat loss So you need to 150kwh in 10 minutes, wish equals to 900kw of immediate charging speed.

Now imagine 20 of those power inputs connecting/disconnecting on a local power management substation.

Not fucking gonna happen.
