"Enshitification" and examples of deteriorating services

I’ve recently decided to stop reading The Conversation, after two consecutive posts were openly accusing Europe’s investors of not doing enough to be more like Silicon Valley. I’m seriously confused: how can anyone really believe, in 2024, that their business model is anything close to being sustainable? The mental slavery that parts of Europe still seems to be having towards the rot economy fuelled by a type of capitalism not integral to the continent is truly bewildering.

Autonomiser tous les monde, que les avantages soient pour tous le monde

Il s'agit d'une extension optionelle, compatible avec la gestion du temps en Java et généraliste.

La redéfinition du décalage à la fin des estampilles:

• Z indique qu'on utilise UTC comme référence, sans connaître l'heure locale (nouveau)
• -00:00 comme Z
• +00:00 indique qu'on utilise UTC comme référence

L'autre nouveauté de ce RFC 9557 est plus marquante, c'est le format étendu IXDTF (section 3). Il consiste à ajouter à la fin de l'estampille une série (facultative) de couples {clé, valeur}, entre crochets.

Enforce the type of the column. Well I didn't know it was possible to insert every types into one column :D

Friction is defined as the difference between military theory and reality in the book On War.

There are plenty of such frictions in software development, for example:

• API's that does work quite as you though it did, or it changed
• Bugs. Security alerts. A breaking dependency upgrade.
• Someone gets sick and information is lost.
• Requirements are unclear, or a client changes what they want, during of after development.
• Laptop breaks or gets stolen.
• Tooling breaks.

How to avoid that?

• smaller scopes and shorter iterations
• more autonomy
• redundancy
• better planning
• automation
• experience
• gaming
• checklists and runbooks

It would be my goto for a window tile manager on Linux

Public and private investors, along with the markets themselves, have become entirely decoupled from the concept of what “good” business truly is, focusing on one metric — one truly noxious metric — over all else: growth.

How the valuation of Meta is decorrelated to some facts such as opt-in of user data in Europe.

Uber accused a loss of 1.21 billion, but the stocks is up 5% (as time of writing). Uber loses money since 15 years... "This is why we see such vast oscillations of hiring and firing - because these companies are never, ever punished for failing to operate their businesses in a sustainable way, or even with a view for the futur"
and more examples.

"Everything ventured, nothing gained"
and the argumentation goes on
