It’s not the best and given the choice, I’d rather bike in dry weather but with the right equipment (waterproof jacket, waterproof overpants and waterproof shoes), it’s fine.
It’s been raining nonstop for months here and I’m still happier on my bike than in any alternative like getting stuck in traffic for hours searching for a parking spot or shoving myself in public transportation with hundreds of people including reeking teenagers who confuse a shower with Axe body spray.
The entire country of the Netherlands have proven that infrastructure, not weather, makes cycling the most popular mode of transportation. Hell, most of Nordic big cities are cycling heavens despite their shitty snowy/rainy weather.
And guess what, the company I work in proudly announced today they will replace our internal chatbot with ChatGpt Enterprise. It’s like they gladly and actively increase their dependency on an enemy state.
Not true. 500Mb models suck ass and are just here for fun. A lot of local models in the 2.5Gb range can run on a phone and produce very coherent output on par with free-to-use LLMs without actually destroying the planet (while using them I mean, training is still a nightmare).
“Fun” fact, political bias is baked in the local models too, don’t ask Qwen3 about what happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989…
For some incredibly good sci-fi: Some desperate glory by Emily Tess
About a teenager, groomed from birth to be a true-believing elite soldier, who is starting to question and escape a fascist, rapey, ultra-militarized hellhole while looking fo her lost brother. Her mental journey is superbly written. Also includes gay awakenings.
Yeah this one is much more recent.

There’s a Wine fork tweaked especially for Affinity that works amazingly well.
It’s either a political move (nobody wants to be responsible for and/or depend on another ministry), or 4D chess where they would prevent a single vulnerability to expose the entire user base.
Fun fact, Orange (former France Telecom) has developed its own distro for the best part of the last 25 years. It’s… very peculiar.
By who are we kidding. The actual work will be offloaded to the shittiest contractor available (Capgemini/Atos/SopraSteria), it will take 5 years of the planned 2 and will cost 3.5 times the initial budget, for something sensibly shittier than an uBlue script.
