Quick Experiment in “Improving” Linux Lite

May 21, 2021 Quick Experiment in “Improving” Linux Lite2021-06-30T15:30:21+01:00 Technical No Comment

Even at its iteration , Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu 20·04 LTS, and therefore, just like Mint, only has XFCE 4·14. It's stupid to wait until after April 2025…

Giorgio de Chirico. Immagini metafisiche

by Riccardo Dottori

Questo libro di complessa analisi e interpretazione dei dipinti di Giorgio de Chirico è unico nel suo genere, e fortunatamente anche come e-book (non necessariamente per Kindle; l’ePub costa 9,99 euro all’IBS) comprende immagini di buona…

Qui a tué Roger Ackroyd? [nouvelle édition]

by Pierre Bayard

Après avoir lu « La Vérité sur Dix petits nègres » et « L’affaire du chien des Baskerville » (lu en anglais : Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of The Hound of the Baskervilles), je suis définitivement persuadé que la rigueur…

Histoire de la Chine : Des origines à nos jours

Une bonne introduction à l’histoire de Chine.

The Eighth Detective

by Alex Pavesi

What eighth detective (or what eight detectives, in the UK edition)? You’ll understand towards the end of this unusual book which mainly consists of 7 stories, which per se are not that bad, so if one would only read the odd chapters fro…

Marseille Une ville sous influences

by Pierre Boisserie

Assommante comme histoire et très médiocre graphiquement, cette BD demeure assez instructive pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas Marseille. Mais ça, seulement si le prétexte d’une balade à travers la Marseille qui engendre une discussion en…

La Vérité sur Dix petits nègres

by Pierre Bayard

J’avoue n’avoir pas encore lu « Qui a tué Roger Ackroyd ? » (c’est pour bientôt), mais j’ai été séduit par « L’affaire du chien des Baskerville » (que j’ai lu en anglais : Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of The Hound of the…

by Jean-Pierre Pécau; Gin

Cette aberration est de la propagande pure. Je sais que cette collection n’est pas censée décrire la réalité, mais au sujet des évènements de Tiananmen, un peu plus de discernement s’imposerait.En admettant qu’il s’agisse d’un massacre…

Tif et Tondu de Blutch et Robber – Mais où est Kiki ? N/B

by Robber

On ne peut nier ni l’effort ni le talent, mais après avoir lu la version en couleurs dans Spirou, cette version noir et blanc, complètement redessinée par rapport à celle en couleurs, ne me satisfait nullement.

The Killings at Kingfisher Hill

by Sophie Hannah

I dare say it’s only with the fourth “New Poirot” that Sophie Hannah finally managed to reach a cunningness comparable to that of the Grande Dame of Golden Age’s Crime. The first three attempts were of unequal quality in my view: I rated…
