J'ai pu béta-tester une future version du port Oric du petit - mais costaud - dungeon crawler "Hero Fantasy : The King's Sword" qui apporte 3 écrans : l'accueil, le game over et celui de la victoire. Ci-joint l'écran de démarrage et le game over. Pas mal pour de l'Oric.

Vous pouvez toujours récupérer la version de base ici, la version graphique d'ici quelques jours : monos51.itch.io/hero-fantasyth…

Le jeu peut se finir, mais sans les cartes des niveaux - qui sont indispensables - c'est plutôt dur !

Bonne découverte 😀

We're getting much closer to the hair update now.

I believe it is one of our missions, as antifascist nerds, to break the myth of an inaccessible and complex technology. The tools, services, and software we all use everyday are the more or less indirect outcome of broader socio-political and economical dynamics. Therefore, we can and we should bring forward a massive resistance as we do on other fronts.

How do we do burst the bubble?

How can we practically unmask the politicality of technology to people outside the digital sector?

How do we popularize digital media critique?

What forms of art, workshops, and formats could take advantage of?

On Wed 11 June, at 14:00 UTC, I will be hosting an online round-table session with @transparenttech to discuss and try to answer these questions.

I will be briefly sharing my experience and my ideas after making Knitting Our Internet. Above all, though, I want to welcome any kind of contributions to address this mission in a multifaceted, intercultural, intersectional, and decolonial way.

What protest? This was violence against the state.

This sends a dangerous message: violence against the state will be rewarded with acquiescence.

Glendale, which is a city in LA County, just canceled its contract with ICE.

Because protesting works. Protesting works. Protesting works. Protesting works. Protesting works. Protesting works. Protesting works. Protesting works. Protesting works. Protesting works.

In Büchern und im TV gibt es oft den Charakter vom Typ "broken asshole". Er ist egoistisch, hochmütig, hat einen superiority complex, behandelt andere wie Dreck - aber er hat in der Vergangenheit ein schweres Trauma erlitten und er leidet weiterhin. Dieser Charakter ist fast ausschließlich männlich, und führt bei so einigen Zuseherinnen zu einer Art schwärmerischen "I can fix him"-Reaktion. Broken-asshole-Frauen findet man hingegen kaum. Was sagt uns das über gendered expectations?

“All those on board have been abducted. They have been taken against their will while they were sailing peacefully and lawfully in international waters…

They were in international waters, sailing towards Palestinian territorial waters, not getting near Israeli waters…

It needs to be made very clear that Israel has absolutely no jurisdiction, no lawful authority, to take over this vessel.”

No, Von der Leyen. Healthcare won't be improved by #AI.
On the contrary, AI is destroying the future of healthcare. Its engines are stealing researcher's work and atrophying the brains of future health professionals.
Medicine is a social science that needs critical thinking, empathy and compassion. All very distant concepts from those powerful shortsighted technocrats ruling the European Commission, the only beneficiaries of those €200 billion.

Quoting Haaretz's opinion column on the Gazafication of the West Bank:

Israeli forces fatally shot a 20-year-old man sleeping in his bed in a West Bank village, highlighting a disturbing pattern of disregard for Palestinian lives within the IDF.

[...] Army forces raided a Palestinian village in the dead of night, forcibly broke into an apartment building where no wanted men live and, for no reason at all, woke up all the building's residents, including babies, children and the elderly. Immediately after that, soldiers broke down the door of one apartment and entered it. One of the soldiers began raining live fire at almost point-blank range on a young man sleeping in his bed. It's not clear whether the young man managed to wake up, but it is clear that he was shot while still lying in bed.

[...] The fact is that judging by the IDF spokesperson's response, the military police haven't even opened an investigation, as is normal in cases where criminal behavior is suspected. Moreover, the soldier hasn't been arrested or even suspended from his position. All this means that in the view of the army's senior commanders, killing an innocent young man in his bed is a routine action.

[...] That's what happens when the army is killing thousands of innocents in the Gaza Strip – paramedics, journalists, children, elderly people, women and recently also hungry people waiting in line at food distribution centers. The Gazafication of the West Bank is at its height, and soldiers there evidently hunger to behave like their colleagues in Gaza do. And the IDF lets them do so, thereby emptying its onetime slogan about being the most moral army in the world of all content.

This is our reality. Gaza once a land that exported roses, strawberries, oranges, olive oil, and short stories now digs through the sand, searching for scraps of flour kneaded with blood and tears.

Tom Homan Says Trump Admin Sending National Guard to L.A. Over ICE Protests


Donald Trump’s “Border Czar” Tom Homan said Saturday the administration is planning to send in the National Guard Saturday evening to quell protests in Los Angeles.

“This is about enforcing the law, and again, we’re not going to apologize for doing it,” Homan said on Fox News. He continued: “We’re already ahead of the game. We were already mobilizing. We’re gonna bring National Guard in tonight. We’re gonna continue doing our job. We’re gonna push back on these people, and we’re gonna [enforce] the law.”

On Saturday night, following Homan’s on-camera remarks, both national Democratic and Republican figures were scrambling to figure out if he was just mouthing off, or if the federal troops were actually on their way, or just … what the hell was going on.

Two Trump administration officials say they learned about the alleged National Guard plans from journalists such as Rolling Stone’s who had reached out to them on Saturday evening, asking for clarification.

Homan did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

“The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) wrote on Bluesky Saturday evening. “That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.”

He added, “LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need. The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.”

The president can request, but not order, a governor to deploy their state’s National Guard. The governor can refuse the request, and Trump would not be allowed under the Constitution to send National Guard troops to California from other states. However, the Trump administration has previously mulled invoking the Insurrection Act, which could allow the president to deploy the U.S. military domestically, federalize the National Guard, and send in troops to quell uprisings or civil disorder.


Editorializing beyond here:

The Insurrectionist invokes the Insurrection Act.

in reply to megopie

The 2nd option is likely the goal. Inflaming tensions and overreacting makes the administration look like it's tough on crime to his base. Escalating a peaceful protest into a conflict can easily be spun into "the good guys are fighting the violent illegal criminals". The people that elected Trump want a strongman dictator and he's happy to show them that. Even the politically apathetic might see the conflict as "both sides went too far".

** à Los Angeles** pas été surpris par les émeutes ou la violence.
Pas même la sévérité de la gestion de cette crise #trump ; l'homme n'éprouve que des sentiments de haine envers cet État démocratique libéral, et l'État lui rend le même sentiment, car il rejette sa politique, en particulier celle liée à la persécution des immigrés illégaux, et va jusqu'à leur fournir une protection et leur accorder tous leurs droits.

La Californie regorge d’immigrants pacifiques qui considèrent la politique de Trump comme une menace directe pour leur tissu social.

Ce qui se passe aujourd’hui n’est pas inhabituel ; c’est un conflit naturel, le résultat de politiques qui persécutent les immigrants illégaux – dont la majorité sont d’origine latino – qui ont créé des communautés soudées dans l’État.

Mais ce qui est anormal, c'est que Trump outrepasse l'autorité de l'État et envoie la Garde nationale sans coordination avec le gouverneur, malgré les déclarations de ce dernier selon lesquelles la police est capable de contenir les manifestations et qu'il n'y a pas besoin d'intervention militaire.
Le plus alarmant est que Trump ne s’est pas arrêté là, mais a menacé d’envoyer l’armée américaine et de couper le financement fédéral à l’État.

Il ne s’agit pas d’un président autoritaire menaçant ses adversaires à l’étranger, mais plutôt d’un président menaçant d’utiliser l’armée dans son pays contre son propre peuple.

Sous Trump, l’Amérique ne restera plus la même, et le monde ne restera plus le même.

Since I've left my last job, I've been thinking about the guy who used me as an alternative to ChatGPT whenever he hit a problem that he couldn't vibe code the answer out of at work.

He basically rotted his own brain by compulsively using ChatGPT in lieu of actually thinking with most any of the projects he was working on. Instead of taking the time to read through code in our framework, look up documentation, or do any sort of debugging, he instead just begged and pleaded with ChatGPT to try and get somewhere because "it was faster." Basically just really hammering his brain with the Programmer's Slot Machine. (@davidgerard wrote a really good article here about this specific gambling addiction angle here. I highly highly recommend reading/watching the corresponding YouTube video:
pivot-to-ai.com/2025/06/05/gen… )

Back to the story; When that wasn't working, which was a significant portion of the time, he'd then just turn and use me as a "more informed alternative" to ChatGPT.

I worked fully remote and the majority of our interactions was via a Teams chat. which apparently crossed some wires in his monkey brain and made him start just... Basically verbally barraging me like he would with the company ChatGPT instance. No thoughts at all, just an immediate process of:

- Ask vague question
- Get guess for an answer with a request for more details
- Try applying the guess blindly without thinking if it's applicable at all
- Have it not work and just report back that it didn't work.
- No follow-up details, no further explanation of what was going on or what he's trying to do. Nothing added past the original vague situation
- If lucky, I might get a screenshot of part of the error, meticulously sliced before it gave something useful in the output because he stopped reading error output to things and made no attempt to understand it. (Why? ChatGPT can do that part!)
- Rinse and Repeat until I get fed up and get into a call with him
- Fix the thing in less than a minute, pointing out that he should have been able to tell what was wrong almost immediately if he actually dropped a break-point and debugged the code at *literally any point* along the way
- Fuck off immediately after getting his fix, no thank you or anything
- start the process anew the following day when he vibe coded himself into a corner all over again

I literally had to go to leadership and make them have a talk with him and get him to leave me the fuck alone at work, after repeated attempts to establish boundaries about it, due to how much time it sucked out of me being able to work on other projects. Effectively just doubling up my work and slamming me with burn out right at the start of the year for absolutely no reason other than his belligerent insistence to just Not Do His Job Without His Hand Being Held By A Chat Window.

It rapidly went from a "He sometimes asks informed questions that I can answer and help him with. I enjoy working with him" to "The dude isn't even trying in the slightest and is now basically offloading his work onto me because he broke his capacity to actually do work independently of an external chat window. I fucking hate him and I hope he gets in a car wreck so I can get a break from the bleakness of dealing with him every goddamn morning"

ChatGPT has basically just been an absolute blight for me since it's inception. Going from the team being generally pro-crypto to intensely pro-genAI/LLM because their favorite scammers (er.. I mean YouTubers) had them hooked on a fantasy of some day making it Big by jumping from one Hype cycle to the next. I sincerely was very close to just finding an entirely different career path altogether because of just how incredibly shitty it was working with that team on just about anything, but lacking the job experience on the resume to land someplace else.

Nobody wanted to be an actual expert, nobody really wanted to learn anything. They had their degree and ChatGPT, which means they learned all they ever will need. ...While working in an industry that tends to re-invent itself every half decade or so while half-assing solutions with an outsourced bullshit generator. 🫠

All in the name of "Well it got me from point A to point B faster." and leaving it at that, despite taking significantly longer than they should have from the get go over it.

I've seen and lived what an AI Fueled future looks like:
Mediocre men harassing their talented and likely autistic peers until their peers just up and fuckin leave to a different organization out of frustration and exhaustion.

I think down the road, we'll be able to measure the negative impact using LLMs has on people's cognitive faculties by comparing it to horse kicks to the head, and only be exaggerating it by a little bit.
