Language Learning Apps, Revisited: 34 Products + Bonus Links
More than three years ago, I discussed a few apps meant to help you learn a foreign language; while I still believe the best way to learn a language is to use printed manuals with audio…
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 time—but the political correctness managed to…
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 I am, ranting on my personal…
The Sorry State… and the Quick Fix
I was indeed wasting my time: there is a classic answer to the question “what if I want to run Linux instead of Windows on my laptop or desktop PC?” The whole time wasted with what…
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. Vers la fin, le professeur nous…
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 it's simply pointless for me to…

Android Apps: What I Use
No matter what I tried, this retarded Marshmallow performs "Optimizing app 1 of 1" after each reboot–a reboot that's a bit slow at that. And it's not a rooted device. So I guess I'll need to…
“A” for “Acer TravelMate P6”
The shoemaker's children go barefoot, they say. As I don't have children, in my case this paradox applies to myself. I always had the cheapest computer and the cheapest smartphone that are powerful enough for what I…
It’s still a long, long road…
The contents and the structure are not very clear as of yet; the working title is only a first attempt at it; and the cover, obviously, is just a quick thought. But this should be the…
Let’s get going again!
It was about time to revive this blog. From scratch and less "bloggy" than before. On a planet subdued by Facebook and by sites like Medium, ranting almost daily is not a lucrative business—unless you're actively…
Just saying…
...hello, I'm not dead! Not yet.
