Le métavers apporte une solution au Homeoffice, en étant connecté dans une pièce virtuelle commune de chez soi.

Les NFTs et produits virtuels prendront donc de la valeur pour sûr, puisque les gens y "vivent".

Mais ce futur est désirable pour qui ?

Éric Sadin, dans son ouvrage La Siliconisation du monde, définit cette nouvelle économie comme une « industrie de la vie ». Selon lui, l’industrie de la vie se définit comme le fait de « capitaliser sur les moindres manifestations de la vie, faisant émerger une économie adossée aux flux ininterrompus de la vie et du monde ». Avec, comme objectif, à terme, « que la quasi-totalité des gestes individuels et collectifs génère des données (…) faisant l’objet de multiples exploitations, d’ordre prioritairement commercial ».

Easy to use. It could be useful :)

So you can write and store your own recipes.

TL;DR;
all mainstream webbrowsers except Firefox are running on chromium

In the mean time every competitor that Google converts to Chromium strengthens their position and increases the influence they have over the future of web standards. Even today they can do pretty much everything they want to, but things can get even worse if they get to 95%+ of Chromium market share.

So Chromium is the new IE.

So Firefox is the currently the only "right" choice to make. More in the articles.

Today the browser [Firefox] is sleek, fast and resource-efficient.

Three features are the source of an increasing amount of anxiety when it comes to instant messaging: read receipts, online status, and what I call "typing now... don't hold your breath" mode

What Read Receipts do accomplish is to tell the recipient that the sender now knows you have seen their message. Thus, the clock begins to tick to when you, per some unwritten social norm — which differs by sender and group — should reply or else you are ignoring that person.

About the feature "online status":

But now, everyone is essentially online all the time. There is nothing unique about it and you may don't want to reveal others that you are awake at 2am.

About the "is writing back" feature:

This is partially why I call it the "don't hold your breath" feature. You could be waiting, staring at your phone, ignoring the many other things you could do in that 30 seconds, and for your troubles get exactly... nothing.

How does this add real value to anyone?

These 3 annoying points are already solved by emails as it does not exist at all.

Signal tends to have their incomes from their users. Users donating will be awarded of a badge on their profile. This will allow them to be consistent with their principles and to be independent, while giving reputation to their financial contributors.

We will see how this evolve :)

An active fork of youtube-dl as youtube-dl is now inactive.

Install (or update):

sudo wget https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -O /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

The commands remain the same.

Email is unreliable for communication, no because:

• can bounce around all sorts of broken internet issues for quite a while
• it's a formal internet standard that does not rely upon a single failure point like most alternatives to email (Facebook Messenger, Slack, Skype, Discord, etc...)
• yes there is no reliable "read" indicator, but it is the case for every app
• the error messages are more detailed than "failed to send"

Email the a one-line replies doesn't add value:

• it is the same for messaging apps :)
• email does not quash or control the types of communication you can send

Email always top-quote:

• you can reply the way you want. The message can be at the top of the previous message. You can also break up the original email and put the replies in-between.

De facto oligopoly of email providers:

• same arguments as for other messaging apps
• you can communicate between email providers, thing that you can not between messaging apps

Span and abuse:

• same as other applications
• but you don't have to do an outright block or mute notifications, you can put these emails into a buried folders or creating another rule: set up on auto-reply for it :)

Filters and organisation of email is often difficult. The tools provided are not always well suited for the task:

• first is only learning simple rules
• you are allow to filter and organize as you wish.
• you are able to switch of email providers if the tools does not fit for your usage.

Threading is unreliable:

• does not work at all on modern apps. Except Discord but it is confusing.

Email addresses are too tightly tied to your identity.

• Seriously ?
• You don't have to.

Searching is often inadequate
