This shower tap is a good example of appearance over practicality. Looks good, but very poor user experience. It's not intuitive, and when you understand how it works it's unusable if your hands are soapy or even simply wet. Really stupid design.

La géolocalisation des comptes sur Twitter/X montre donc que tous les gros comptes "influenceurs MAGA" sont dans des coins du genre Nigeria, Macédoine, Inde, Russie. Et pour le côté Français, il s'avère que Thaïs d'Escufon est donc en Croatie 😂.

Ça a peut-être un lien, mais vu la masse de données utilisée pour entrainer ces modèles, je ne vois pas comment en être sûr. Je viens d'essayer de demander à ChatGPT "show me an image of a typical family", et sa réponse ne va pas dans votre sens. Y a de quoi faire hurler les conservateurs.

Wandering through the aisles of an actual book store is so much more fun than browsing through Amazon...

"The sin of empathy", from someone who describes himself as Christian in his bio... More like the American Taliban.

As a first post, I won't do an introduction, my bio does that already. But to keep in line with the trend that this is the opposite of Twitter/X, these are a couple of the books my African-born wife and I read to our daughter. And she loves them.
