I’ll be back (soon?) with another cartoon (or whatever)
I should have used a manga thumbnail, because it's a Japanese design, however Made in China (the price also corresponds to a Chinese product). I just received it, and so…
No more quality for the peripherals Made in China
All the keyboards are Made in China, and all the mice are Made in China, so what's new? What's new is that since 2016-2018, the quality of them all is…
Why Tim Cook Should Be Sodomized 24/7

My shortlist of depicters of solitude includes names of the magnitudes of Edward Hopper and of Giorgio de Chirico; but here's a French contemporary painter that makes me relate to…
At least, we have the masks
A new study by researchers from the Max Planck Institute and Cornell University shows that FFP2 marks offer surprisingly effective protection against SARS-CoV-2. This is by all means great news,…
The Apple Music Awards: See Why the World Is So Fucked-Up
This planet has absolutely no future not just because people are so stupid as to praise the cryptoshit, to invent NTFs (for idiots), to purchase a non-existing yacht in a…
The Electric (and Autonomous) Frenzy—CNN Videos
My only comment is that this thing is totally crazy, and I'm not even talking of how badly an electric car society would scale up (good luck when the power…
When the UNESCO creates malware: the Cookie Factory

The good old Professor Balthazar and his marvelous inventing machine were known in the former Yugoslavia, (West) Germany, Romania, Italy, Switzerland (in Italian), the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Portugal,…
I just discovered the junk of the Japanese junk food; it’s tasty!
Normally, this should have been a subject for Twitter, but being blocked for a week, I resorted to the only censorship-free place: my blog. I normally don't care about Asian…
Linux Apps: The failure of Foliate
Reading books in the ePub format is one of the major technological breakthroughs as far as I am concerned (did I tell you about my 25k ePub files?). I couldn't…
Linux Apps: There is Everything in Linux! (It’s called FSearch…)
Whoever doesn't know David Carpenter's Everything doesn't know what they're missing. Whoever relies on Windows' search feature is an ignorant, a naive, a lazy person, or a moron. Most people…
Firefox Destupidification, Take #1
Have you ever noticed that sometimes Firefox saves the image files as WEBP, even when that image has the extension JPG? Well, that's stupid, but you can change that. Using…
The “joys” of systemd in Fedora XFCE
No, I am not part of the religious “systemd is evil” war. I won't be using Devuan, and the fact that MX Linux defaults to sysvinit is actually a disadvantage…

This was bound to happen. When a bunch of smart idiots (sic!), and all kinds of narcissistic, arrogant YouTube icons and influencers are more important than the other 7.9bn people,…
On Twitter, one must be woke, internationalist and obedient—or suspended!
The fucking retards did it again. Some fucktards, after calling me names (I blocked them, but of course I didn't report them!), as good neo-marxists and snitches, have reported a…
Hibernation, ZRAM and mental retardation in Linux
Since I was using almost exclusively laptops since 2001, I failed to notice that in Linux, suspend-to-disk (hibernation) lost momentum, as everyone is using suspend-to-RAM (sleep). This is a huge…
COVID-19 Report #29: The Sonderbehandlung that won’t be (or will it?)
Continuing from the previous installment, I can't say I'm surprised by the latest news. To cope with the Fourth Wave, "ministers in Northern Ireland have voted to introduce mandatory Covid…
Brave: the browser loved by idiots, morons, and cryptofuckers
When I first met the browser Brave, I thought it to be a Chinese app. With such a name and such a logo, what was I to believe? It wasn't…
