"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.

Le bureau des impôts allemand a refusé de renouveler le statut non lucratif de l'organisation, puisque les dons sur Patreon ne sont pas reconnu comme des dons.

L'organisation américaine a donc été fondé dans ce but, et celle allemande devient lucrative.

Or

L'importance du statut d'organisation à but non lucratif réside dans la communication de notre engagement à créer des médias sociaux qui servent les intérêts de leurs utilisateurs plutôt que ceux de leurs actionnaires

I think programming is like running a dishwasher. It always takes longer than you think and some stuff is never as clean as you expected it to be.

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

those in positions of authority are seen as not practicing what they preach or enjoying benefits and exemptions not available to others.

The certainty and simplicity offered by populist leaders and conspiracy theories are far more appealing than experts' nuanced and tentative conclusions.

there have been far too many instances where experts and authorities have failed or misled the public.

Fix:

Experts and leaders have to shift their values toward transparency, honesty, and humility in their communications and actions, being upfront about the limitations and uncertainties of their knowledge, acknowledging mistakes and failures when they occur, and being open to feedback and critiques. [...] We need dialogue and engagement between experts and the communities they serve.

Le raisonnement semble bien pertinent

Nous savons maintenant d'où vient ce son

I’m designing for the web. The infinitely flexible web. The web that doesn’t have one screen size, one browser, one operating system, or one device. The web that can be used by anyone, anywhere, on any internet connection, on any device, on any operating system, on any browser, with any screen size. I’m designing with the web. Using the web platform. I have a deep understanding of HTML and its semantics. I love CSS, I know how and when to utilise its many features, and I keep up-to-date as more are added. I have a strong understanding of modern JavaScript and most importantly I know when not to use it.

Also an accessibility specialist. My expertise goes beyond what web designers need to know. I’m also a design system specialist. I’m a systems thinker. I love standardizing things to simplify the web development process. [...] I love human-centred design and co-design—nothing about us without us.

There is a Postgres compatibility plugin under development.

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.

Remember: the world doesn't need more “content.” It needs more creativity.

Selon une étude de Statista, la France est le 7ème pays au monde avec le plus de milliardaire, en valeur absolue!

C'est le 3è pays au monde avec le plus de millionnaires (2.8 millions de millionaires).

Or le patrimoine net median en France c'est moins de 125 000 euros. Être million­naire c’est avoir 8 fois le patri­moine net médian.

Pour être milliardaire par son travail, il faut gagner 3.5 millions d'euros net par mois, soit 1750 fois le revenu médian.

Une machine fiable, faite pour servir toute sa vie, comme tous les ordinateurs. »
