986?

@botvolution

Just wait: counter tariffs are coming...

- Hello! We are the pollen you forgot all about during winter... And we are BAAAAACK, baby!

- Me: Oh noes! 😱

@botvolution

Non, strapon ! 😆

Your weird picture of Paris for the day.

Sweet for breakfast is common in most of France, to be honest. I think Spanish people like their sweet things for breakfast as well.

Source: I had "pain au chocolat" for breakfast this morning.

OK, OK, I had a LOT of pain au chocolat VERY LATE today, but it still count as breakfast. 😉

Salty breakfast is more of a germanic / anglo-saxon thing but I am not holding that against our neighbours!

Today, in great dialogues at work:

- Them: We are going to meet with Fortinet for this cloud project.

- Me: Uh... Wait... Why Fortinet?

- Them: The end client wants top-notch security!

- Me: Fortinet is NOT top-notch security (gestures wildly at a long list of 2024 and 2025 CVEs with CVSS 9+)

- Them: You are too negative, this is probably all corrected by now...

- Me: IT IS NOT! (gestures wildly at all the reports of Fortinet hw exploited in the wild)

- Them: you are so negative...

😩

Just leaving this here.

Yup, either Framework or StarLabs.

The good thing about StarLabs is that they are UK based.

Welp, France won against Scotland to become the champions of the 6 nations rugby tournament! 🏉 🇫🇷

🇬🇧 medias: that French team was truly the strongest this year, amazing demonstration.

🇫🇷 medias: France won but not in a very convincing manner, could have done better, yadda yadda yadda.

FFS. Every. Single. Time. 😩

Also, my lovely daughter, she of the 18 years of age and really curly hair, is going to go on a catwalk as a model for the first time ever tomorrow right in the middle of the Paris Fashion Week.

I have no idea how to feel about that, but (a) she will be chaperoned by a friend of the family, who is a designer at the show and (b) she seems to be having a lot of fun, so I have got that going for me.

Monday blues.

- Using VS Codium because it has a vim plugin. I can't stand Codium, but I can't install vim.

- 3pm Monday meeting still not started after 10+ minutes of waiting online. This one is ready to solve, since I'll disconnect in a few minutes while posting on Mastodon.

- The weather is beautiful outside: blue skies and lovely sun... And I am stuck inside because of the two points mentioned above.

I'd like to take a moment to thank all the people who are maintaining vim right now, after Bram Moolenaar passed away.

You guys rock!

@joeo10

... But before reconstruction, don't forget to go through the 2nd Civil War!

What, too soon?

@botvolution

Macron is still a massive cunt, though.

And that is an insult to all decent hardworking cunts out there.

Your weird picture of Paris for the day... The smurfette as Mona Lisa, done as a mosaic.

@inthehands

And make sure you have up to date backups safely stashed "somewhere"... Even if it's just a couple of boxes in your basement.

Your RPO is going to be very bad, but better that than restarting from scratch.

@cwebber

Beware, I live! 💀

Former Lithuanian foreign minister Gabrielius Landsbergis:

No Nato membership, no boots on the ground? Sounds like abandoning Ukraine. Delegates are flying to Munich not to negotiate, but to deliver @ZelenskyyUa the bad news. If this deal produces a piece of paper guaranteeing peace for our time, we should call it Munich 2.
