Il y a quelques jours Doctolib annonçait sa rentabilité.
Il lui aura fallu 12 ans, une stratégie monopolistique agressive, l'augmentation des tarifs de ses services, la fermeture de ses API à ses concurrents, puis surtout, le coup de pouce accélérateur d'une crise sanitaire et le soutien de l'État, pour atteindre la rentabilité.
Mais Doctolib vient aussi d'être condamné à 4,6 millions d’euros d’amende par l’Autorité de la concurrence pour abus de position dominante https://cafetech.fr/2025/11/14/doctolib-ce-monopole-qui-ne-derangeait-presque-personne/

Rev. Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston, was shot in the leg with a pepper ball by state police while protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility, Illinois. He writes for Religion News Service about why he continues to show up at Broadview, the atmosphere at protests there, and religious leaders' obligation to resist tyranny. "It is important for my neighbors who were abducted to know that we will not stop fighting for their release," he writes. "By my estimation, our country is somewhere in 1930s Germany. Fascism is growing in power, but we still have opportunities to resist."

Vous avez des sondages / études sérieuses sur l’usage de l’ia parmi la population générale relativement récent ? Pas un truc de niche, pas un truc financé par des profiteurs, pas des exemples pris pour rédiger un article.
J’ai du mal à savoir où ça en est et j’aimerais aussi savoir comment est-ce que c’est utilisé pour de vrai par ces personnes : aide au travail, accompagnement émotionnel, gain de temps sur des tâches répétitives, etc.
Bonus #Bourdieu si c’est réparti en classes sociales.
J'ai envie de vous montrer les sususwataris que j'ai brodés 🥰
Pour contexte, j'ai vu les copines faire de la broderie, ça m'a troooop donné envie.
Après deux kits pour apprendre des points de base, je teste de dessiner un motif sur du papier hydrosoluble (en copiant évidemment Miyazaki dont la moitié des persos peuplent ma chambre) et de broder par dessus.

Ik heb eindelijk ook een complottheorie! Roofkapitalisten en corrupte journalisten spannen samen om ervoor te zorgen dat het volgende kabinet van Nederland een monocultureel bedrijventerrein maakt.

Meet @adrigen and Lee: Buy Nothing group admins co-designing our Mutual Aid Networks stretch goal. Their video and article reveal why gifting communities need more than "Facebook groups but federated", they need infrastructure built for proximity, self-governance, and generosity.

I am willing to gamble on ChatGPT etc being a bubble. A flash in the pan.
I'll probably not make some money that I could have made if I were saying how much I love it, but I am willing to take that risk, with a longer term view.
Students and others focussing on how to use these paid subscription services, to the exclusion of developing fundamental research, critical thinking, analysis, and other general purposes, transferable etc skills are, IMHO, taking a *much* greater risk.
User interface pretending to be human: fraud.
Statistical sentence generation described as “intelligence”: fraud.
Telling people, often children, to commit dangerous or criminal acts: all sorts of crimes.
Scientific papers generated, non-existing cases quoted at court, homework faked, artists ripped-off: fraud and copyright infringement.
Training based on unlicensed works: copyright infringement.
Data centers with tax incentives and special energy pricing: theft.
Promises to investors of AGI: fraud.
Government bailouts with taxpayer money: theft and fraud.

Si vous étiez à ma conférence ce matin (ou pas) sur "C’est quoi l’UX design et pourquoi le libre aurait à y gagner en intégrant ces profils ?", quelles sont les questions que vous vous posez sur le sujet ?
Do you like documentaries? I just watched "The Cost of Convenience" and was reminded I need to try breaking away from proprietary tech ecosystems again. I have already deleted all social media except for Fedi. But I need to minimize my smartphone use and give Linux yet another try on my PCs.
