However, there was a dark side to this revolution. As these apps progressed,and the underlying technologies progressed, the companies and investors driving these efforts took a turn. Efforts pushed into the world of micro-transactions, psychological rewards for utilizing a platform, profits over value, and a slow descent into a disregard for the users. — The Internet I Grew Up With Doesn’t Exist Anymore

Know How It Works.
This is how It end to envision the rise of AI bullshit: at some point, no one
will know how a software was designed, and we will have yo ask our friend Claude
or his collegue to explain it to us.
2026-07-08: Tmux is no just about
attach/detach. It comes with a lot more functionalities: copy on select, paste
buffer, hooks, scrollback buffer (rectangular selection and forward/backward
search), activity monitoring, … to name a few.

2026-07-20: I read Mark Dominus’s
blog post on the Sagrada Família in my preferred RSS reader a while ago,
and recently I came across this little story: The mathematical secrets of
Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia.
2026-07-20: Listening to some of Psychemagik’s Undercover Lovers albums, which really reminds me of La Musique De Paris Dernière.

2026-07-20: This morning
I’ve extracted part of LSPSaga that displays a lightbulb for code action
and I’ve made a small standalone plugin for my use cases. It remains
sufficiently unobtrusive (look at the little Unicode symbol at the end of the
line) and it plays nicely with fzf-lua.

The twitter stuff got me thinking that, while I was never a prolific poster, I barely posted at all over the last 4–5 years. Unless you are big and have a following, what was the point other than publicly tweeting friends, whom I mostly communicate now through a private Discord server. Social media has mostly become about consumption, and not discussion or sharing. That is unfortunate.— Internet presence
This micro-blog is the raison d’être of keeping the site live and to do without
social networks of any kind.
2026-07-27: After one month
without internet access at home, my MacBook got fully synchronized (I guess) and
I can run software update as usual. #apple
2026-07-27: I’ve just been
listening to Muse’s album Absolution XX. And I’ve realised that this
micro-blog is already eight years old, now full of 4370 posts. Time flies –
it’s mad!
2026-07-27: macOS
catalina and music. And I learned about yet another music player for
macOS. That being said, I long have had mixed feelings about Apple Music. I was
used to iTunes and its way of managing multiple media sources. Now I came to
appreciate the split between Music and TV, but the management of album art sucks
more often than not (look at the screenshot below, it’s been months that artist
gravatars come up randomly, and it’s far from being completed right now;
moreover, even if all my files are correctly tagged with lyrics and image art
embedded within the MP3, Apple Music sometimes doesn’t display album art in the
mini display), and play counts are synchronized with a random delay between my
iPhone (via Apple Music matching process) and my MacBook. Contrary to the author
I was not so much concerned by the move from iTunes to Music since I crafted my
digital library afterwards, and I already lost my ratings and play counts
multiple times ;-)
