Une histoire de prédation en deux toots.
2017 : j'achète une licence oXygen. Soit-disant à vie. Quelque chose comme 200 euros mais bon, pour une licence permanente ça vaut le coup.
2019 : y a de plus en plus de mises à jour, c'est chiant, et je dois faire bosser des étudiants, je trouve une alternative un peu moins bien mais gratuite, j'utilise moins oXygen.
2024 : ma licence n'est plus valable (je m'en rends compte au hasard d'un changement d'ordinateur, oups je peux plus installer oXygen depuis la version de 2020 en fait). Je me passe d'oXygen.
2025 : je tombe sur un os, il y a un truc que je ne peux faire bien qu'avec oXygen. Je regarde les tarifs pour racheter une licence. Je crie.

Le logiciel libre semble avoir raté l'adoption par les militants des outils numériques. C'est fort dommage. Il n'a pas réussi.
Pour les hébergements, les associatifs ou les pros auxquels j'ai posé la question pourquoi les gafam pour l’hébergement web, les réponses sont toutes quasi pareilles : c'est pas cher et facile.
Quand tu dis qu'il existe des assos, des entreprises qui peuvent aider, nan mais on va pas s’embêter a changer

Indeed, IA allows budget to be reduced and to for niches. Here small websites that can still be developed by programmers.
By lowering costs and speeding up delivery, professional custom websites are now accessible to startups and small businesses that could never have afforded traditional agencies.
The market changed: few hundred for a website and 7 days to delivery
I realized that, if we look back on many of those projects she worked on, it wasn’t as simple as she made it sound. In retrospect, a lot of the projects she got assigned to were initially not glamorous. They didn’t initially call for net new design work, many of them weren’t even that fun to start out on. In fact, I can recall many times she got assigned to projects and teams that were in a slump, and were slogging through the work. I could really only think of one or two examples in years of working together where she was handed something that was a desirable project from the very start. [...] What made those projects glamorous and desirable was her and how she approached the work. There’s that old nugget about making your own luck and that is something she excelled at. She had a unique ability to take really hard or nebulous problems (both design and team-related) and morph them into something amazing that got people excited. Instead of getting discouraged, she’d respond to friction with more energy, more enthusiasm. In so many ways, she was a transformative presence on any team and project.
Because over time, I found that she was someone who could take that hard, unamazing stuff and make it seem effortless and amazing.
he projects weren’t good. They were made good.

When the experience of clicking a link, waiting for a Javascript-heavy page to load and dismissing a thousand pop-ups has become the norm, it’s hardly surprising that a good many users would rather bypass that experience altogether and are turning to AI and chatbots to do the browsing for them.
The experience of browsing the web could be so much better than it is right now, without the huge social and environmental cost of AI. Perhaps there would be less demand for chatbots if the web itself was less hostile.

Embracing slow means I’ve gone from hovering around three runs a week to at least five. Regularly hitting 60kms and still feeling like I could do more. By mixing hard work and snappy tempo runs with slow and steady, and doing it properly I am faster, healthier and more importantly happier than I have felt in years.
The ideas of a grug developer.
I used to be on a team that was responsible for the care and feeding of a great many Linux boxes which together constituted the "web tier" for a giant social network.
At some point, I realized that if I wrote a wiki page and documented the things that we were willing to support, I could wait about six months and then it would be like it had always been there. Enough people went through the revolving doors of that place such that six months' worth of employee turnover was sufficient to make it look like a whole other company. All I had to do was write it, wait a bit, then start citing it when needed.
One near-quote from that page did escape into the outside world. It has to do with the "non-compliant host" actions: "Note: any of these many happen without prior notification to experiment owners in the interest of keeping the site healthy. Drain first, investigate second."
So the author created a list of actions; methods to apply for any given events.
It’s not always easy to keep these separate, especially when one’s vocation transcends mere occupation to become a genuine passion and source of fulfillment.
The job [...] starts with great enthusiasm, but may evolve to reveal fundamental incompatibilities.
it seems almost predictable that when someone works defining design principles for their clients all day, they don’t necessarily stop and think: Oh, maybe I should apply these same methods to my own life as well.
“One of the choices I’m most proud of is that early on, I realized that what success looks like for me is freedom and curiosity and the ability to follow whatever path I take.”

I don't have any advice beyond the lawyer, but to everyone else: this is why you don't just rely on cloud saves. If your data is important, have your own copy. Companies can close your account or go bankrupt at any time, and there's basically nothing you can do about it. You have no rights or recourse in the terms of service that you didn't read.
IPv6 needs to be better deployed and supported everywhere.
1) You don't "upgrade" to IPv6, you offer it inline with IPv4. It has never been a forklift replacement (there is another rule about this).
2) I have worked for numerous ISPs over the years, big and small. Way more than three I can tell you, and the small ones are almost always the ones pushing IPv6 hardest, because CGNAT is fucking expensive. The big ISPs are the ones who are ignoring it. I've only worked for one small ISP that was opposed to it, and their attitude changed when they ran out of IPv4 space, and saw their choices. CGNAT or buy more space on the open market.
