When you think about it: we are still paying today the price of WWI ...

There was an opportunity before 1914 to unite those forces for good.

The so-called "pacifists" were never against having an army, but against using it for the wrong thing.

Do we need to sue the companies behind those obnoxious AI bots, creating actual DDoS, so that they actually start to behave ?! #AI #bots #ddos

Going to another hobby: #archiving very old books. Today, it's an old book in french about #obstetrics written in 1920's.

The book is in bad shape, the paper wants to break if you move it too fast.

I'm using a CZur scanner to have a decent version.

OK Google is clearly on purpose removing the title of any youtube videos you access from certains IP range, especially from VMs hosted by a provider.

That explains why the preview in mastodon doesn't have a title ...

If you execute the same code from your home connection: it returns both the and with the right title in it. #enshittification #fuckgoogle
