Official answer:

> To be clear, in our 25 year history, we have always had the hard rule that sponsorship does not give you preferential treatment for talk selection; this policy has always applied, it applied in this particular case, and it will continue to apply in the future. Any claims that any talk was allowed for sponsorship reasons are false. — https://fosdem.org/2025/news/2025-01-16-protests/

> Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter, ousted board member of BlueSky, and grifter extraordinaire to the tune of a $5.6B net worth, is giving a keynote at FOSDEM. — https://drewdevault.com/2025/01/16/2025-01-16-No-Billionares-at-FOSDEM-please.html

Wait, WAT?!

Comment est-ce que vous balisez en HTML les termes comme a11y, l10n ou i18n ?

Le monde entier est sous la pression des changements climatiques mais il faut que la maison des riches brûle pour que ça devienne visible.

> I sometimes think the hardest problem in computer science right now is taking an NPM library and figuring out how to download it and use it from a `<script>` tag without needing to involve some sort of convoluted build system. — https://simonwillison.net/2024/Nov/23/without-a-build-system/ by @simon about https://jvns.ca/blog/2024/11/18/how-to-import-a-javascript-library/ by @b0rk

Couldn't agree more… I made my own `npm.py` 🙃 but it's ugly and far from universal: https://gitlab.com/umap-project/umap-stats/-/blob/main/npm.py (the latest version in use is more complex·te, I should make a package of it)

> Send to YouTube era of 2009 and 2012, the title of one’s YouTube video was defaulted to this naming convention. Unwitting content creators would then upload their videos on a public site with a barely-searchable name. To this day, there are millions of these videos. — IMG_0416, https://ben-mini.github.io/2024/img-0416

Témoignages très difficiles à lire. Nécessaires.

Découverte au passage :

> While scholars are in consensus that the cause of the famine was man-made, it remains in dispute whether the Holodomor was directed at Ukrainians and whether it constitutes a genocide, the point of contention being the absence of attested documents explicitly ordering the starvation of any area in the Soviet Union. [H]istorians conclude that the famine was deliberately engineered by Joseph Stalin to eliminate a Ukrainian independence movement. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor

> When Musk woke up on the morning of November 6, he was worth $263.8 billion. When he went to bed that night he was worth $290.3 billion. This one-day gain in his net worth exceeded 10 percent. Musk spent $130 million to reelect Trump and got back $26.5 billion; this may be the most profitable single investment of his storied career. — Dump Twitter, https://newrepublic.com/article/188156/liberals-dump-musk-leave-twitter

(Après j'arrête de partager sur Musk/Twitter/𝕏, c'est que mon acceptablomètre vient de changer dans ce domaine.)
