To take things a step further, the only smart male on board is an orange cat.

I understand the statement is about in-game stuff, but I’m guessing a lot of game developers have been using GitHub Copilot and this kind of “AI tools” for months.

It’s quite old: The Black Company by Glen Cook

Thanks for the transparency

Psaum for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers.

After these, I read all her books this year.

This is the time of the year when I teach to students as part of a work-study program. I like this profile: they’re less academic, more autonomous and mature. What’s more, in this program, there’s much less reproduction of elite classes than you see with other diplomas. It makes my work more meaningful.

On a more personal note, I started taking PrEP treatment on Friday. It’s rather reassuring when I have fun with other boys (like today) to have this double protection with the condom.

I just checked: there’s absolutely no problem with this one. And even better: it produces a lot of nectar for the European bees.

It’s quite common in the parks and gardens in the South of France, where it’s nicknamed “rince-bouteille” (bottle rincer). I didn’t know it came from Australia.

My niece, who disappeared months ago (she lives off grid, in an anarchist community), has reappeared. I’m going to spend the day with her.

Apart from that, I’m using my vacations to help my partner in her craft business to prepare a fan convention.

My partner is a craftswoman, and she’ll soon be taking part in a fair. She does it 5-6 times a year, and during those times, I spend a lot of my free time assembling and sewing for her.

It’s during these times that I watch to old series (actually, I’m more listening than watching). Right now, it’s Supernatural. I didn’t watch it with any regularity when it first came out.

As a user, I see federation as a system in which one login gives you access to several forums. A bit like Discord, except that Discord is more like chat rooms (the decentralized architecture is not my point).

For me this is a nice but useless feature. I don’t mind having several accounts on several servers, I have a password manager.

And, actually, even in the fediverse, I have several accounts to limit the risk of doxing. I can talk about intimate stuff on beehaw (like being bisexual), because I’m someone else on other instance(s) when I talk about the subject of my PhD or my projects on GitHub.

Because they don’t need to, as long as we keep believing their nice promises without looking if their old promises have been kept.

I promise myself a reward, something a bit unusual that will directly activates the reward circuit, like a handcrafted pastry from a good bakery.

I’m sorry to read that. I’ve seen in other posts you’re jew, and living in Israel. I can’t imagine how hard is it. I hope things will calm down and you’ll find peace.

Seven years and now you’re living alone, I hope you don’t feel too lonely? Do you see other friends? Plan to find another roomate? Or a pet?

I don’t know what’s worse: never having eaten plum pie, or knowing it’s going to take a year to eat some again.

There are fancy recipes, but I cook as my grandma teached my mom: a rustic pie with shortcrust and plums.

The secret is to prevent the juice to soak the dough. So you slightly precook the shortcrust, and you put the half plums with the skin on the bottom (so the skin acts as a little cup for the juice).

When the pie is ready, you can sprinkle the pie with powdered sugar if you like.

Indeed, but maybe it’s a chance to be exemplary, by spreading moderate and compassionate words (for all victims, on both sides).

My only concern is the mental health of the fellow beeples who chose this instance because they needed a bubble of kindness, far for the cruel real world.

The world is insane. A friend of mine died of cancer. And I’ve had some kind of flu/cold for a week.

On the bright side, I finished my Becky Chambers’ books, fixed the extruder on my 3D printer and made the last plum pie of the season. I so wish this was the kind of daily life all human beings enjoy.

Unions don’t work the same way in all european countries.

In France, the union I belong to is organized by local company and public service, with a spawling system of dual cascading federations by geographic sector and economic sector.

And there are several competing national union organizations which overlap. I don’t know exactly how the other ones are organized

Be sure it did. The words don’t matter, feeling you’re not alone is everything.
