  • Je me suis posé là même question il y a un temps, mais dans l’autre sens - je me suis aperçu que je ne lisais plus de romans noirs, ne regardais plus de thrillers, etc. Je n’ai jamais été fasciné par le “true crime”, mais je pouvais me délecter des “racines du mal” de Dantec par exemple.

    Cet abîme dont les temps présents peuvent nous écarter sont pourtant, parfois, importants : visiter le musée de l’Holocauste à Budapest, voir le film S21 de Rithy Panh, je ne suis plus capable aujourd’hui.

    Ça ne répond pas à ta question, sauf que pour moi cette fascination prouve ta capacité à rester un témoin.








  • Could you take a 50% contract, and claim 50% social benefits? These last 50 won’t be much but will help.

    That’s kinda what I do here in France, but I only get short contracts, then unemployment, then work etc to about 35~55% a year.

    Another thing that helps is not going 50, but like 80 - it helps a ton to have 2 afternoons a week, I have many friends who did / do that.

    My mother was a nurse, I feel you. Took early retirement as soon as she could.











  • Today’s arch experience : upgraded after 6 months or so. Yeah, had to upgrade signatures first, had to remove manually conflicted stuff, and that’s it. Works, as ever.

    Now yesterday I tried installing stremio on my wife’s ubuntu. Gosh wtf, how do they expect any normal consumer going through gît and stack’ just to install that piece of crap.
