My 2023 reading retrospective

Happy new year! After talking about my low-stakes accomplishments and the non-book media I consumed in 2023, it’s time to share my reading retrospective. It’s very fun on one hand, and absolutely terrible on the other: I hate having to whittle down the list to a mere top 24! From 2015 to 2020, I always…

media i enjoyed in 2023

movies: Singin’ in the Rain is my new favourite movie. Weird: the Al Yankovic story had me laughing to tears several times. Same for 9 to 5, with an extra crush on baby Jane Fonda. Marinette is an excellent biopic. Nimona, Glass Onion, Barbie, Birds of Prey, The Elementals and The Hunger Games: The Ballad…

Parité, sport de haut niveau, et Wikipédia

Une femme en combinaison grise et dossard blanc, avec un casque violet, descend à toute vitesse une piste de ski. Ses skis sont rouges et elle a l'air très compétente. Normal : c'est la championne Tessa Worley.

Si, comme moi, vous faites partie des 3 pélos qui utilisent l’habillage Timeless pour Wikipédia en français, vous pouvez utiliser Rock your sidebox de PAC2. Ce gadget permet entre autres de faire une requête en un clic pour connaître la représentation des genres dans les liens internes de l’article. Comme je suis en procédure de…

December 2023 in review / Récap de décembre 2023

Happy new year! I am socially drained and not ready to go back to work, and yet here I am. I am also emotionally drained due to supporting the employees with the yearly Wikimedia France fundraising. I love my friends but they are chaotic and having sudden additions and removals to the list of people…

24 low-stakes accomplishments of 2023

Here are 24 low-stakes accomplishments from 2023. No big brags, no important stuff, just chill and happy times. (Bloggers, feel free to make your own! I got the idea from this Autostraddle post.) EDIT on January 1st: wow, I was living in the future − this was from 2023, not 2024! Got houseplants that are…

The eternal child at Christmas

I’m writing this article on my last day with a computer access before the new year, as part of Jo’s edition of the Indieweb Carnival themed « Holiday and December traditions ». Check out the other entries, they’re fun! My family and I celebrate Christmas and the New Year following the age-old rule: « Christmas…

My WordPress plugins

Oh, it’s blogging meme time! After the default apps one, and still through Tracy, I found that people are sharing their WordPress plugin list. ActivityPub allows people to follow the blog from Mastodon. I don’t think anyone does this. I’m not sure this is really useful in any way. But the fundamental values that lead…

November 2023 in review / Récap de novembre 2023

The final month of 2023 is finally starting and the year has been long and transformative. I’ll have a lot to say in my recap of the year, and it’s all a bit overwhelming sometimes. Apologies for the photo: it’s the only one I took last month. I’ve been writing quite a bit on here.…

My default apps in 2023

I saw Tracy’s post on her default apps and felt like this was a cool idea! I try to give preference to libre software − although to me, independent is more important than open-source, which is why you often see me praise The Storygraph or Obsidian. My work computer is on Windows, though, so I…

1000 articles Wikipédia plus tard

Cette semaine, j’ai publié mon millième article sur Wikipédia en français. (C’était en fait probablement plutôt mon 1002 ou 1003e article : je n’ai pas compté les quelques pages supprimées entre-temps par débat d’admissibilité.) Avec 6 ans et demi de Wikipédia dans les pattes, un rôle d’admin depuis un peu plus d’un an, et d’autres…
