Sur Twitter, quand on cite un article de @Reporterre plein de scientistes et de pro-capitalistes vous tombent dessus. Mais, là, Reporterre fait tout pour être indéfendable. reporterre.net/Originaux-mais-…

Ce sera quoi, la prochaine fois ? Un article pour défendre Rivasi ? Ou bien les tisanes à l'hydroxychloroquine bio pour soigner le Covid ?

Je ne suis pas sûr que "défendre" l'interview d'un anthropologue soit bien compliqué. Son dernier livre parle de personnes ayant des pratiques non prouvées scientifiquement ? Rien de bien original, c'est le cas d'un bon paquet de livres publiés par des anthropologues ! 😁 D'ailleurs Reporterre a déjà interviewé un autre anthropologue qui a parle d'oniromancie : reporterre.net/Philippe-Descol… et une anthropologue qui parle de rituel et de société animiste : reporterre.net/Nastassja-Marti…
in reply to Olivier Dolbeau

@odolbeau J'ai lu ces deux interviews et ils me semblent bien différents entre eux et bien différents de celui avec Jean Foyer.
Philippe Descola décrit les pratiques et les croyances des Achuars. Il a de la sympathie pour eux (c'est plus agréable de travailler avec des gens qu'on apprécie) mais, dans cet interview (on m'a dit que dans d'autres, il était moins prudent), il ne défend pas du tout ces pratiques et ces croyances.
in reply to Stéphane Bortzmeyer

Décrire des pratiques et des croyances et avoir de la sympathie pour les personnes que l'on étudie, ça me semble finalement assez proche de l'interview de Jean Foyer ? (Je précise que j'ai découvert cet anthropologue suite à ton post et que je ne me suis absolument pas renseigné sur lui, si tant est que ça change quelque chose. ^^)

Strangely, the management consultants never seemed to make that recommendation 😜

look into "The Week" (theweek.ooo/) it is founded/run by a McKinsey alum, and that to me makes it totally sus. I've been trying to find an "intentional community" that will take me in, so I can get my life back on track (as they generally offer "free" housing and food) but a lot of them seem more like real estate "scams", and when I stumbled across "The Week" with the McKinsey guy, my sus meter went off. I don't have any comrades to do the program with, to check it out.


Government of, by, and for the oligarchs:

The spending bill that Musk blew up had a bipartisan provision that would have kept him from giving "sensitive technologies" to China when he puts his factories there. The new bill omits that. He's happy again.

Turns out there isn’t much outdoor ice open over Christmas so there goes my placeholder activity while the pool is closed.
Guess I’ll just bike around or something.

SDL port of the Abuse 2D platformer engine


One thing that was pretty innovative in this game when it came out was that you moved around with the keyboard, but aimed with the mouse. This allow you to run one way while shooting in a different direction. It's neat to see the engine is still getting some love after all these years.

I loved this game when I was younger. I tried compiling this like a month ago, couldn't get it to work. Made me real sad. Though, I don't know what I'm doing so, probably my fault. The game is legendary though, sound design, gameplay, etc. Awesome stuff.
in reply to bastionntb

Oh yeah, I loved playing it when it came out as well. Was hands down one of the most innovative shooters of the time. I haven't tried building it locally, but might give it a shot and see how that goes.



Shall we make a #KPop Starter Pack? Send me suggestions for who should be included!

I have always found #monitoring tools like #Nagios to be very complicated and difficult to learn. I've tried a few times to write something to fill this role, but never finished, until now. The tools exist now, and I have created Patrolilo, a #Rust program which ingests a simple YAML config file, runs scripts on a schedule, and sends you a notification to your phone if the script fails.

I'm just using it to monitor some services with regularly scheduled `systemctl status` runs.

#OpenSource - Open-Source-Entwicklung durch Mitarbeiter-Freistellung - "Wenn man die Zahlen auf das gesamte Open-Source-Ökosystem hochrechnet, werden sie sogar noch beeindruckender. Die Studie schätzt, dass jährlich etwa 7,7 Milliarden Dollar in die Open-Source-Entwicklung investiert werden, wobei allein die an der Umfrage teilnehmenden Unternehmen 1,7 Milliarden Dollar dieser Summe ausmachen. Am aufschlussreichsten ist vielleicht die Feststellung, dass 86 % aller Unternehmensbeiträge zu Open-Source-Projekten in Form von Arbeitsstunden der Mitarbeiter geleistet werden." - Eine gemeinsame Forschungsarbeit der Linux Foundation, GitHub und des Laboratory for Innovation Science in Harvard - Beitrag von Andreas Donath - Eventl. € golem.de/news/milliardeninvest…
