That’s why GitHub has filed an amicus brief in the appeal of Yout LLC v. Recording Industry of America, Inc. ⌘ Read more

Menaces et arbitraire macronien : les tentatives de censure de la ministre de la Culture
Alors que la réforme des retraites déclenche une opposition de plus en plus farouche que Macron et sa clique ne pensaient pas devoir affronter, la nervosité gouvernementale grimpe à mesure que les langues se délient sur les plateaux télé et que les “éléments de langage” officiels ne passent plus sans critique sur certaines chaînes.

** Accessibility updates **
I’m feeling pretty chuffed! Last week I wrote about my intention to make this website more accessible. My motivations were many-fold, but, primarily, mostly shame. I’ve worked as an accessibility specialist in the past, and now spend a bunch of my days at work looking for ways to make public infrastructure online more accessible. It seemed fitting to at least make sure the little bit I contribute to the web here is also accessible.

How I archive my favorite TV show to get rid of Amazon Prime
I’m a fan of the German TV series “Notruf Hafenkante”, which is shown on the public broadcaster ZDF and is also available on their website. New episodes are released weekly, and older episodes are also made available on a regular basis. After a few months, however, they are no longer available for free. At the moment I have to buy an extra subscription for a Prime Video Channel to be able to watch all the old episodes. But that makes me dependent on Amazon, and I d … ⌘ Read more
