Encore un exemple de l'extension inarrêtée du domaine de l'état d'urgence au droit commun et de l'utilisation du prétexte terroriste comme dévoiement des principes fondamentaux (ici, le respect du droit d'asile) : https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/france/140319/dans-les-alpes-des-elus-maraudent-au-secours-des-migrants-et-sinvitent-la-paf
The Xmind mind-mapping software is no longer free and open source, if I read this answer correctly.
'@nixcraft@twitter.com's ad blocker nag message finally got to me. But the idea of of enabling ads on the site really got to me, less for the ads themselves than for the privacy-invading tracking. So I decided to give 1$ a month via Patreon. Sounds like something many of us can live with.
Cette histoire du JT de France 2 où on se demande ouvertement si le rappel à l'ordre par l'ONU sur les LBD etc. n'est pas une conspiration politique nous montre qu'on vole en fait pas beaucoup plus haut que l'Amérique de Trump, qu'on prend un malin plaisir à moquer.
This conclusion of this article about "the People Who Eat the Same Lunch Every Day" leaves me a bit sad. Essentially: office life is repetitive, accept it now, you'll be happier. Great. https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2019/03/eating-the-same-thing-lunch-meal/584347/
Hi folks, I'll be in London this afternoon (and for a week). If any of you have recommendations of things to do or want to catch up, I'd be happy to hear from you!
#cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase acquires chain analytics Neutrino, led by former Hacking Team COO, who sold surveillance tools to repressive & authoritarian regimes. Coinbase talks a lot about being a force for "democratisation". Whole thread well-worth the read.

Où l'on rappellera (in)utilement qu'en France, « l'identité se prouve par tout moyen » (mais en pratique par un seul seulement, la carte d'identité ou le permis). Presque personne ne questionne la conséquence sur une société de devoir constamment justifier de son identité.

@lunar Pour le taf je pense à un autre truc : sur la liste Liberation Tech y'a souvent des offres !

Nous sommes intervenus aux côtés d'enseignants de Paris 13 contre leur direction qui, faute de moyens pour organiser des cours, accueille la formation "gratuite" de Google qui apprend aux élèves à devenir complices de leur surveillance de masse illégale.

“You had a heart of gold, I know because I fucking sold it.
Truth be told, I couldn't even say what I did with the money.”
One of the best opening lines in a song I know of. From A Serious House on Serious Earth, by Iron Chic.

A few months (?) ago, I used a tool (on GNU/Linux) that will scan your directories and look for likely duplicates, produce a report in several formats, which you can then feed to the tool to remove stuff. I think. Can't remember what this tool is called, any ideas?
Une pensée pour @mmu_man : la politique de confidentialité du Huff Post français (https://www.huffingtonpost.fr) cite BeOS comme exemple d'OS que les terminaux peuvent utiliser. Ils doivent en voir souvent !
"As we observed reporting the vulnerability exploited by Foreshadow, Intel created the exposure by prioritising performance over security"
Foreshadow comes from the same fundamental place than Spectre and Meltdown: speed, speed, speed at the expense of security.
In other news, Intel's SGX is mostly fucked: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/02/12/intel_sgx_hacked/ (and https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/08/15/foreshadow_sgx_software_attestations_collateral_damage/)
TEE's are still interesting and going to happen, but not this way, I think.
Really, there's no reason to call them Pull Requests when Merge Requests makes as much sense and is a lot easier to understand for beginners.
