Aloha,

Here are some links I think are worth sharing. I’m taking a few weeks off ?, so please wait a bit for the next edition!

1. I finished binging Star Trek: Enterprise. Despite its many default, I loved this show! The final episode is utter shit though.
2. Speaking of binging, The End of the F***ing World is pretty fun to binge!
3. I started reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari and it’s already blowing my mind. I love that kind of big unifying theory.
4. A few months ago I read Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth by R. Buckminster Fuller. The theory of the Great Pirates is highly inspiring. He also describes the problem with our accounting. It seems boring but it’s actually one of the biggest problem we have as neo-liberalism is such a shitty system when speaking of externalities.
5. A Curated List of Privacy Respecting Services and Software. Use it if you want to find alternative to human-farming services.
6. En France, les villes lentes font leur chemin. Basé sur le modèle du Slow Food, les Slow Cities conjuguent ruralité et urbanité.

Aloha,

Here are some links I think are worth sharing.

1. The fastest, privacy respecting, DNS resolver is here. Switch to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as soon as you can.
2. Scott Listfield’s pop culture paintings of an astronaut exploring a future Earth.
3. These Glorious Satellite Images Visualize Earth From The Side. And it looks like a video game.
4. Parkland Students must wear clear backpacks.. This is stupid on so many levels.
5. The fascinating world of Instagram’s virtual celebrities. 3D rendered models get so much followers on Instagram that they become influencers.
6. “This is people dancing to the decontextualised, reified, corporatised, liberalised, neutralised, asexualised, re-genderised pop reflection of yesteryear’s dance floor’s reality!”. “The Only Constant is Struggle” — DJ Sprinkles Talks Homophobia, Liberal Bullshit, and Why Music is Aural Capitalism.
7. My favorite kind of house music: Hardrock Striker – Motorik Life (DJ Sprinkles’ Moutain of Despair).
8. Are.na: A distraction-free space where you can collect anything, organize your thoughts, and develop ideas over time. It’s also a community where curiosity and collaboration are more important than algorithms and likes.

Thanks for reading!

J’ai découvert Le Bel Ordinaire, une épicerie / cave / table avec un modèle d’investissement participatif assez intéressant. Je me suis régalé ! Oeufs durs cuits à la perfection, déliceuse mayo au pesto. Radis servis avec un beurre au fenouil, citron et romarin. Saucisse de morteau, haricots coco, sauce vigneronne. Millefeuille en dessert. Tout est très bien fait et se prête au partage… Au niveau des quilles, des belles bouteilles, originales, et qui penchent du côté nature de la force.

La petite surprise de la soirée était le “SPLASH!”, un pétillant naturel avec un taux d’alcool à 9,5%, d’une fraicheur absolue !

Salut,

Not much to read this week. I was too stressed with my talk at the Symfony Live. Anyway, here are some links I think are worth sharing.

1. Kei Nishikori meets Nujabes: perfect hip-hop album for a rainy sunday.
2. Elephants “smoke”.
3. Resistance Is Futile. To Change Habits, Try Replacement Instead.
4. I listen to a lot of punk and rock I can’t really put a label on. Amyl and the Sniffers – Cup Of Destiny, The Money Store – Death Grips, Eurgh! – Breakfast Muff, Massicot – Massicot.
5. J’ai donné une talk au Symfony Live Paris sur l’Architecture Modulaire grâce à Symfony et l’écosystème Open-Source.
6. Allez au Bel Ordinaire à Paris, une belle place pour se restaurer !

Thanks for reading!
