I suspect this sign has a back-story...!

The French government has announced the measures of its plan to accelerate electrification:

- a ban on gas boilers in new houses from the end of 2026
- increased support for replacing old heating with heat pumps
- 100 regions will pilot comprehensive heat transition plans to phase out gas by 2030

La primera vez que leí que la nave #Artemisa II iba a ir a la luna, pensé que, en efecto, iba a ir a la luna. Resultó que iba a orbitar por su cara oscura.

Ahora, ya sé que "ir a la luna" no significa "ir a la luna" sino a los alrededores. Ir a marte: ir a los alrededores de marte. Ir al bar: ir a los alrededores del bar. Ir a Madrid: pasearse por Segovia, Guadalajara, Cuenca, Toledo y Ávila.

Sin quitarle un ápice a tal maravillosa y fascinante aventura, qué importante es el lenguaje.

Amazon just pulled Kindle Store access from every Kindle released before 2013. The hardware still works. Your books still work. Side-loading EPUBs over USB still works.

The fix is the same one that's worked since 2007 — and here's exactly how to do it, step by step:

Seems like there's a concentrated push to find someone, anyone, to blame for the complete flop of AI: https://2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/and-i-would-have-gotten-away-with-it-too-if-it-werent-for-those-pesky-kids/

> [...] companies are responding to this failed revolution (that is, to the lack of interest, lack of demand) by ramming the "AI" down our throats whether we like it or not. Students didn't want to use Khanmigo, the Chalkbeat article explains. So "now Khanmigo is incorporated directly as a way students can get advice as they’re working through specific problems. A spokesperson said the organization made this change because 'students were not seeking out Khanmigo’s help as much as we had hoped.'" Don't want it? Too bad. It's part of the curricular infrastructure now, suckers.

Oh no, the AI rollout would have totally worked so well if it wasn't for those Damn Kids sabotaging it. They do it out of fear, you see, because the AI companies' random text generators are so good at, like, jobs and such.

Every time you open Google Maps, it logs where you are, what you searched, and where you went next.

We interviewed the co-founder of Organic Maps, an open source app that collects none of that. New Techlore Talks out now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XCzVQKLBkhM

@CorioPsicologia
He escuchado esta mañana en un podcast que hablaban sobre una aplicación open source que detecta la presencia de gafas cerca de ti.

El autor pide que se haga un uso razonable de la app, porque puede dar falsos positivos al usar el identificador de Meta que usan otros productos. También que no se utilice para acosar a quien la lleve, porque, según dónde, puede ser delito.

Muy Interesante:
«Hallan en Francia herramientas de hace 200.000 años que explican cómo los neandertales fabricaban tecnología compleja, revelando su avanzada capacidad técnica»

Cada vez tenemos más claro que los neandertales no eran menos humanos que los sapiens pero, como en este artículo, seguimos ilustrando a los neandertales sucios, desarrapados, con cara de no saber qué coño pasa, desarreglado y con la piel marcada por la intemperie, pose simiesca..., mientras representamos a los sapiens arreglados, limpios, con el pelo y la barba correctamente adecentados, cara inquisitiva, poses dinámicas...

Es una forma de racismo. No quiero llamarlo especismo, que esa palabra se la han apropiado algunos que no saben dónde está el norte.

That Microsoft has restored WireGuard's ability to release updates is good, sure.

But should we really accept a situation in which Microsoft was able to take it away in the first place?

Different people will have different takes, I appreciate, but so much power concentrated in the hands of one private commercial organisation seems... unwise.

Os juro que me hierve la sangre. No porque se esté intentando meter Claude en desarrollo, sino porque **lo que ha sacado Claude y has metido tú en producción es demostrablemente erróneo**. Que vale, que no falla porque es un comentario, pero sigue estando mal, y a mí me quita tiempo por el cabreo, el descenso del cabreo, y el corregirlo (porque de lo contrario es más deuda técnica, y ya hay bastante).

Las masas no están ni leyendo ni entendiendo el código que sacan a producción.

The #CDC is sitting on a report showing that the #COVID #vaccine "cut the likelihood of emergency department visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/04/09/covid-vaccine-report-delayed/
(#paywalled)

It was set to be published last month when #JayBhattacharya delayed it because of "methodology" concerns. But it uses standard CDC methodology for evaluating vaccines, and Bhattacharya approved the release of a flu vaccine report using the same methodology the week before the planned release of the COVID report. Bhattacharya reports to #RFKJr.

Did you know that NASA will be *flying* around on Saturn's ridiculously huge moon Titan… in less than TEN YEARS?

Yeah, Dragonfly is awesome.

I wrote this!

I hear a lot of people complaining about their spouses doing everything wrong.

But has your spouse ever invited the press to your home to give a speech on The Epstein Files, right after you spent 22 billion to bomb an entire country to get the press away from talking about The Epstein Files?

If not, maybe cut your spouse some slack.
