Will we finally have the right to talk about hydroxychloroquine in good faith?
In almost all my posts regarding COVID-19, I mentioned the defamation campaign against the hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Could we now conduct fair trials and stop censoring the truth? We finally got…
The Freedom to Blame China
For reasons we might never find out, we're finally allowed to blame China and not be censored. Our Masters might pretend the three sick people of Wuhan in 2019 made…
Why Linux on the Desktop is Irrelevant in the Long Run
10-15 years ago, there were many more Linux distros, and a lot of enthusiasm around Linux. Vibrant communities, positive vibes, unlike today. And most people were still dual-booting with Windows,…
Is there any future for the GTK-based Desktop Environments?
After many explorations, hesitations and tribulations; and after having thought that an Arch derivative with KDE is the way; and after having later considered that more desktop stability would be…
How the Internet Age Has Bent Some People’s Minds
If I still needed an example of how the Internet made people stupid, even the smartest of them, today I was just served with one of the best examples. It…
Try not to get depressed these days!
Even before the pandemic, the number of ways the world is broken would have justified a moderate depression, but now things seem utterly unbearable. I was about to start writing…
The Never-Ending Story Goes On!
Nobody ever reads it, but my previous post about COVID-19 got way too long after several updates, and to go post chapter THIRTY-SEVEN I decided to start a new post.…
COVID-19: Winning the War, but Losing All the Battles
It's been more than two months since I wanted to write a follow-up to my previous comments on this pandemic, and I never got beyond the title. I finally decided…
The Last Sleep of the Civilization Part II
In the first part of this series, it was about COVID-19. But the symptoms of the impending death of our civilizations include another one, which was visible for quite some…
The Last Sleep of the Civilization Part I
I'm breaking the radio silence out of rage. So much stupidity while living “in the best of times” is unbearable. Given that I gave up any social media presence, here…
Le Twitter des cons
I've given up Facebook long ago; now I have the proof that Twitter isn't any better anymore. A little social experiment proved to be "the last straw" (so to speak).…
73 Minutes That Define Linux on the Desktop Today—Rather Depressingly
I must be nuts to dedicate a blog post to a videocast by Bryan Lunduke, but there's a good reason for that. For the first time ever, I'm glad YouTube…
Mon héros, le Pr Didier Raoult
Entretien exclusif accordé à Apolline de Malherbe, sur BFMTV, diffusé le soir du 30 avril. On y trouve énormément de bon sens, et également du savoir. On en apprend beaucoup.…
End of World Diary N°4: Le monde est tellement con, yet the future is interesting
I hesitated quite some time before starting this post—more than three weeks, actually. The world seems so stupid—in some regards, even more stupid than it was in the Middle Ages—that…
End of World Diary N°3: China Just Won
These days 99% of everything seems to be about Covid-19; when it isn't, it's even worse: staying of home has revealed our weaknesses, and our expression in the social media…
I really don’t have what to do at home #lockdown
That is, not counting the thousands of e-books, the thousands of scanned comic books, the thousands of movies (MKV/MP4/AVI), of music (MP3), etc. Tens of thousands of each. Oh, and…
Beyond the Point of No Return: We’re Losing the Battle
Not only it's "not just a flu," but we're going to lose the battle: instead of taking stronger measures than China, we're babbling here in the "civilized" West. It's not…
2020: The Year The World Ended
Friday 13 sounds like the best day for expressing some thoughts regarding the state of the world in the times of the COVID-19 outbreak. (And yes, I know: there is…
