I’ve posted a lot about TTRPGs and values recently, and I’ve heard good things about this game, so this is welcome news.

C’est bien inquiétant, cette histoire.

Ça fait quelques semaines que j’ai du mal à finir les épisodes de Gare à vous, mais celle-co m’a beaucoup plu. J’ai de bons souvenirs de deux petites visites à Gruyères; par contre, je ne connaissais pas bien Giger, et j’ai beaucoup aimé corriger cette faute.

Content moderation is a good thing.

What a gross idea.

I backed this before Kickstarter could even say “Hey, you’ve backed stuff from Doctorow in the past…”

Pendant mon séjour à Renens, je trouvais chanceux les moments où je voyais passer une rame LEB, et je regrette ne jamais avoir voyagé avec la compagnie.

Very happy to see this op-ed emerge—especially from a BYU student. Fidesz is not a party Latter-day Saints should praise or look up to.

I bristle a bit at Moody’s suggestion that academics are dumb for signing over copyright—it’s dumb that we have to, but there are systemic issues at play here. Yet, especially now with tenure taken care of, I do wonder if we consent too readily to the system.

Glad to see action being taken against this law.

It baffles me when platforms think “oh, but we can help you see more relevant ads” is a selling point. Also, “not sharing data outside Reddit” doesn’t help either—it’s still an invasion of privacy.

Look, I’m glad my university is aware of and responding to the digital divide, but I’d appreciate a more critical treatment of what we’re doing. This sounds almost like ad copy for Apple, and it’s falling into a lot of tired edtech tropes about how technology must necessarily improve learning.

Look, I don’t know much about Hungarian politics, but it seems to me that it would take a hell of a lot of self-confidence to brag about an ally of Viktor Orbán visiting BYU. This feels like wading into the culture wars in a way that the LDS Church usually tries to avoid.

I love this interview so much and for so many reasons. I haven’t been a member of Community of Christ long enough to have personal connection with Wallace B. Smith, but I have a lot of respect for him.

Amazon is too big, and while I’m not a policy expert, I welcome government efforts to keep it in check.

Il y a peu d’occasions de voyager en train chez moi, et je dois donc profiter de ce genre de vidéo pour vivre un peu l’expérience. Comme la SNCF et les CFF me manquent ! Je n’ai pas d’expérience avec la RENFE, mais je suis impressionné par ce que je vois ici.

Some interesting writing on a topic I’ve posted about a few times recently.

Roth’s perspective is valuable here. Scary stuff.

Appreciate Doctorow’s detailed (and expert) perspectve here.

So neat! Gotta figure this out for my Hugo site.

Such a cool thing to do. I haven’t read Fables in ages, but may revisit it out of respect for Willingham.

This is an interesting interview. I don’t think I’m sold on the defense—if anyone can afford to pay artists, the team behind Terraforming Mars can—but I do see how there’s more nuance here than my gut reaction to the headline. Still not pleased, though.

What a wild story.

Quelle belle idée !

Faudra que je visite la petite ceinture un jour !
