Bonjour, votre vie privée et votre sécurité sont d'une importance capitale pour QAPA. C'est pourquoi nous vous informons que notre plateforme été victime d'une cyberattaque, affectant la confidentialité de certaines de vos données personnelles.

Votre sécurité est d’une importance capitale pour nous, c’est ainsi que nous avons sous-financé nos équipes IT de 80% et que vos données sont donc dans la nature.

As shown above, the subpixles in the Dell S3225QC QD-OLED form a square with green on the top, a larger red pixel in the lower left, and smaller blue

So OLED has a definitive drawbacks for some displays, but

This gets at why OLEDs make great TVs and gaming monitors. The contrast is outstanding, color is excellent, and high refresh rates are ideal for moving images and fast-response games. [...] They also work great on small devices like phones where the pixel density is so high that fringing is too small to see.

But on desktop monitors for still things — text and fine lines — OLEDs currently just aren’t great; I guess that’s why office and productivity type monitors are still LCDs.

L’ar­­ticle parle de revue mais les deux points à rete­­nir pour moi c’est que l’hu­­main doit rester en maîtrise et toujours prou­­ver que le résul­­tat est le bon, sans juste faire confiance, et que le volume de code est un ennemi encore plus fort qu’a­­vant parce que l’IA est forte à géné­­rer beau­­coup de code.

There’s a reason this form of development became popular after all. But I do wonder if some of the trade-offs are being discounted. This form of decomposition has a price, in the form of readability and simplicity, and I somethings wonder if the benefit of reusability you’re paying that price for is oversold. When changes come through, I usually see people just rewrite the components.

Yes, after using Vue for 3 or 4 years, like every web frameworks, I try to use HTML and CSS as much as possible.

Non, ça n’était pas mieux avant, peu importe le avant qu’on choi­sit.

La télé­vi­sion et la litté­ra­ture nous abreuvent d’images qui sont celles d’une mino­rité de domi­nants de chaque époque, oubliant que la masse n’avait pas ces condi­tions de vie et que même cette mino­rité n’avait pas plein de choses qui sont une évidence pour nous.

Cet état, on y accède par différents chemins, comme les pratiques contemplatives, la respiration lente ou le seul fait de passer du temps en compagnie d’un être cher avec lequel on se sent en sécurité. Les effets bénéfiques pour la santé de toutes ces pratiques “résultent de la manière dont elles perturbent la physiologie de la réponse au stress” et réduisent la consommation d’énergie de l’organisme.

For a software release, it is relevant to include what the software is doing.

I just have no idea what three quarters of these projects actually do. When you announce a new release, please give us (your adoring but slightly confused audience) just a tiny bit of context. What the software does, why the release is cool and what it requires to work.

Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.

No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.

This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.

So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.

I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

Our little planet just can't stop chatting about nonsense, and scramblers know only one use for information: to perceive it. They can't help but listen to all our yapping that only wastes their precious brain cycles and reduces their chances of survival. No peaceful species would do this.

For the longest time, writing was more expensive than reading. [...] The text used to have an innate proof-of-thought, a basic token of humanity. In contrast, AI made all media cheap. But AI only talks in response. So a human must use it.

"There's nothing wrong with using AI. because the transaction between the AI and the user is fully consensual. But whenever you propagate AI output, you're at risk of legitimizing it with your good name, providing it with a fake proof-of-thought." It can be fine because the output is owned, but in other cases, it's not. Our scrambler brain feels betrayed in this case.

The problem was, they were thinking about their inspiration sites from an aesthetic point of view, not from a user experience perspective

I see this example so much! https://res.cloudinary.com/nicchan/image/upload/w_752,h_718,c_lfill,f_auto/v1765177043/contact

The discounting rates led the client to undervalue the team and treat them as executors rather than experts. They argue that clients (and sometimes designers) often dismiss early design phases like discovery, and wireframing as boring hurdles to reach visual branding, but it's so much important! The takeaway is that service providers should educate clients on why these foundational steps matter, because understanding the “why” and getting structure right is essential for good design—even if it’s less exciting than prototyping or visual identity.

#blogging

By blogging, I’m putting a body of work out there that communicates my values and ethos. While much of the details of my client work has to remain private, these posts can be public, and hopefully they can help me find people who resonate with what I have to offer. Or you know, just be bold enough to communicate ‘Fuck off’ to those who don’t!

Generic software design: It’s “designing to the problem”: the kind of advice you give when you have a reasonable understanding of the domain, but very little knowledge of the existing codebase. [...] When you’re doing real work, concrete factors dominate generic factors.

In large codebases:

• consistency is more important than "good design". Read Mistakes engineers make in large established codebases.
• Real codebases are typically full of complex, hard-to-predict consequences.
• Large shared codebases never reflect a single design, but are always in some intermediate state between different software designs. How the codebase will hang together after an individual change is thus way more important than the "north star"

The majority of software engineering work is done on systems that cannot be safely rewritten.

1. Generic software design advice is useful for building brand-new project
2. Generic software design advice is useful for tie-breaking concrete design decisions.
3. Generic software design principles can also guide company-wide architectural decisions.

We won’t sell you data, pinky promise… - in early 2025 a formal Firefox Terms of Use was introduced, which included a clause granting Mozilla a “non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence” to use user-entered data. At the same time, they quietly removed explicit “never sell user data” language from privacy messaging. Brilliant.

Firefox's leadership is out of touch with their users

La souveraineté ne peut pas servir d'excuse à l'échec

"social network" are not social and their content are built to be temporary.
That's why Pixelfeld is used differently from Mastodon.

AI companies are losing money fast and are going to go under. One of the most obvious ways to compensate for this is through advertising.

Except that you won't be able to detect this advertising, since it will be mixed in with the content.

What is the best VPN?
How do you treat a skin problem?
You won't be able to tell if the answer has been biased. You won't be able to tell if the AI is really giving the best “advice” or if it's advertising a brand of skin cream or a molecule from a large laboratory.
Extend this to economics and politics, and—as with online ad auctions—it's the highest bidder that will be able to influence you.

And all these AI companies are desperately in need of money.

All is in the title. There are many misuse of weak encryption showed as examples.
