The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years
The main thing about Fairphone is not the phone but the supply chain.
https://www.fairphone.com/en/impact/
Nothing is perfect and a phone cannot make happy every one (is there a jack or not ...). But I'm happy that they try to make a good phone with all the hidden things in mind (from where come from the rough material, who is making the pieces and in which conditions ...). That's more important for me then the final product.

Why You Should Self-Host Everything
I'm tired of the argument that the solution to fight tracking/ads/subscription/gafam is self hosting.
It's a solution for some nice people that have knowledge, time and money for.
But it's not a solution for everyone.
We need more small nice open source association and company that provide services for people that don't know the difference between a web search engine and a navigator or just a server and a client.
I think that initiatives like “les chatons” in France are amazing for that!!! ( https://www.chatons.org/en )
And just to be clear, I think that self-hosted services are a part of the solution. :)

I got paid minimum wage to solve an impossible problem
The article is nice and the finals observations are saddly so true :/ :(
Even LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT optimize for the wrong thing. They optimize for sounding confident. For sounding like they know the answer. Not for being right. Not for being honest.

How I estimate work as a staff software engineer
Interesting read!
My key points are:
So how do I estimate, given all that?
I gather as much political context as possible before I even look at the code.
and
Finally, I go back to my manager with a risk assessment, not with a concrete estimate. I don’t ever say “this is a four-week project”. I say something like “I don’t think we’ll get this done in one week, because X Y Z

Just had a donations round
Nice reminder!
For which kind of projects do you give? What are the core apps, the most important softwares / teams you want to support?
For me, I think that Wikipedia, f-droid and davx5 are a bit the core of the core of my value and workflow.
What about you guys?

Sounds good!
Is it the first LLM that is open like that (architecture, model weights, and training data and recipes)?

Stack Overflow Just Announced Their Own AI OverflowAI
That's can be nice !
Until now we’ve relied on lexical search, trying to match users with questions and answers based on the keywords they supplied. But as I announced today, we’ll be adding semantic search in a private Alpha, built on top of a vector database, so that the responses generated from a search query can more intelligently align with the topics the user is researching.
Sounds like we don't need to know the right word to discover the good response. 👏

Firefox v128 et l'affichage des publicités auto-cochés dans les paramètres
J’ai plutôt l’avis contraire.
Bien sur Firefox et Mozilla ne sont pas parfait, et ce coup ci je dirais que c’est surtout un défaut de communication.
Je trouve que leur page https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/attribution-respectant-vie-privee explique bien la technique.
Et c’est pas comme si on avait le choix : c’est soit Apple, soit Google soit Mozilla qu’on soutient par notre utilisation pour le développement d’un navigateur et du moteur qui va avec.
Combien de personne qui utilisent Firefox et qui se plaignent de Mozilla donne de leur temps ou de leur argent pour les soutenir ?
Voilà :/ J’ai essayé de pas être trop énervé !!! 😌
