Je vais ressortir ma théorie : "Les organismes de services sont voués à dégénérer en organismes de contrôle".
L'histoire : quelqu'un voit qu'il y a un problème. Il met en face un organisme pour gérer ce problème. Tout se passe bien pendant des années. Cet organisme rend service à plein de monde. Puis, pour des raisons plus ou moins spontanées, ça degénère. Principalement parce que c'est beaucoup plus facile de contrôler que d'aider. Ça demande moins de compétences (il n'y a pas à connaître l'intégralité des mécanismes, mais juste une liste de choses à contrôler). C'est très confortable car on sait mieux prédire le temps passé (1 heure la vérification contre un temps indéterminé pour comprendre le problème, proposer des solutions, le résoudre). Les responsabilités sont moindres (dire ce qui ne va pas, on se mouille moins que commencer à faire quoique ce soit). Ça peut aussi être dû à de la perte de compétences au fir et à mesure des départs de gens qui savent.
Bref. Ça se voit partout. Les caissières qui deviennent des agents de sécurité aux caisses automatiques. L'ANPE qui devient un contrôle de bon citoyen. L'ONF qui passe de milliers d'agents qui s'occupent des forêts à quelques centaines qui n'ont plus le temps que de contrôler. Etc.
J'ai l'impression d'avoir vécu une génération. Pas mal de jeunes ne doivent même pas savoir qui c'est.
Losing two years' worth of browsing tabs is no laughing matter.

But I like Nintendo consoles for their couch-multiplayer games. Like Wii-sport, Boom-blox, Just Dance, Mario party, Mario kart...
A Steam-deck is good for single players games.
Un projet européen prévoit de forcer les applications de messagerie à scanner les conversations privées, afin de détecter des signes de pédopornographie. Une vive contestation émerge toutefois, puisque la vie privée et la sécurité informatique pourraient être des victimes collatérales de cet objecti...
In Europe, we changed to the Euro not that long ago. I was a student and I used to use a shared laundry machine. It was the day before returning to school. I was barely alone in the dorms. Let's do a laundry !
The machines were updated to get euros. There was another machine just to change the coins, especially since the washing machines only took one kind of coin (20 cents).
I put one fresh euro in the exchange machine, expecting to get 5 coins of 20 cents.
Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>... Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>... Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>...
What ?! The machine was buggy and would not stop. I grabbed a hoodie to put the coins in it. Soon, it was not enough. After what seems to be an eternity I was there with around 50€ and kilos of coins.
The thing is, harmful apps are now difficult to detect compared to years ago. The hackers prefer to get the control of your device without ruining it.

What's your go-to way to laugh online?
LAN parties. I remember the first time I could connect two PC together. It was Doom, with a serial-to-serial cable. We were two players on the same fucking map. It was awesome!
Then coax cable networks with friends. We used to have two or three different networks during a LAN party since you could not disconnect the coax cable to add a player without stopping the current games. The players arrived later would plug a new network just for them, and launch a game waiting the first players to finish theirs.
Made with a AI ? The style is the same of what could be drawn by an AI.
Edit. Strange. There are multiple versions of it. One is not cropped with the tomato becoming a monster. I can't link it since it's on google image and I can't access the source.
Imagine the future with megafishs, having evolved.... fish nets ?... and lasers!... and and barbecues...
I bet it's a form with multiple entries, each entry is not different enough of the other ones:
How is the subject of this paper ?
What about the style ?
You checked to reject it, why should it be rejected ?
What's the overall comment ?
Then it's all concatenated into one blob of review.
Every time I see this contraption, I can't stop to think about Gardena making propellers. Due to the chosen colors.
Hello. I just discovered this app. What a nice app! I would love one feature, the ability to set a filter: hide posts that I have downvoted. It is a nice hidden option in Reddit. It allows you to stay active in communities where bots or people with an agenda are trying to push ideas without being angry. Just downvote it and keep going.
