L’année 2023 s’annonce décidément pleine de surprises et la France vide d’industries
Comme l’avait courageusement souhaité Bruno Le Maire au début de l’invasion ukrainienne par la Russie, l’économie est maintenant à genoux, avec le petit souci qu’il s’agit de l’économie française : après neuf mois de sanctions diverses et de décisions – notamment énergétiques – parfaitement consternantes, la France réalise grâce à quelques bidouillages statistiques a … ⌘ Read more
I’m honestly thinking about switching browsers, because this “new feature” where Firefox always downloads PDFs first to display them is annoying me so much. I don’t want my Downloads folder to be cluttered with all those random PDFs. If I open a restaurant’s menu PDF, I just want to take a quick look, but don’t want to have the PDF in my Downloads folder until I manually delete it and then delete it from the Recycle Bin again. There are some work-arounds, but no real solution. ⌘ Read more

I use Firefox as my preferred web browser both on PCs and my phone. One extension is always installed: uBlock Origin. The web is so much nicer with all the ads and tracking removed. But today I also retried an extension that will probably join the “must install” list: DarkReader. Especially when I’m browsing the web on my phone in the early morning, I don’t like to be blinded by white websites. Since March DarkReader has finally an option to detect if a website already has a dark theme and only apply it’s color chan … ⌘ Read more
** December adventure **
Over the past couple years I’ve done the advent of code to varying degrees. I thought I was going to do it again this year but decided to try something different. I’ve been calling what came together a“ December Adventure.”

Une transition énergique vers le pas d’énergie du tout
