EN: Very nice to see some initiative toward providing Free Software for agriculture use. I have some concerns regarding the type of agriculture which will use this though.

FR: Vraiment bien de voir des offres de Logiciel Libre pour un usage dans l'agriculture. J'ai quand même quelques réserves concernant le type d'agriculture dont il s'agit.

FR: Un article de plus sur le "vendor lock-in" ridicule que nous vivons avec certains appareils (et oui, de nos jours un tracteur est juste un autre appareil avec du code embarqué). Ou pourquoi le droit à la réparation devient une liberté essentielle à défendre.

EN: One more article on the preposterous vendor lock-in we experience with some devices (and yes, nowadays a tractor is yet another device with embedded code). Or why right to repair becomes an important freedom to defend.

Interesting ideas on how mentorship can be organized in a company. This is obviously examples coming from a specific context but still, the whole time bound and matchmaking approach is a good food for thought. It sounds a bit too mechanical and systematic for my taste but I guess it makes sense in their context. A few good extra resources provided as well.

As usual with Zeynep Tufekci a mind bending article about the heuristics one might use at times when official institutions are simply trying to lie to your face and when they switch to authoritarian mode. This is indeed times when it becomes very hard to trust information and make sense of the world... how to overcome that? Well there are a few examples in that article.

Fascinating piece on how Japan dealt with the arrival of westerners. But also how the westerners did (and still) perceive the relationship with a lot of delusion due to arrogance and racism biases. It is a good example on how the winners tend to attempt to rewrite history.

It also shows how Japan somewhat turned into an inspiration for other Asian countries. I learned a lot.

Lots of good advice on how mentoring can be done. There are enough of them that you can pick and choose what makes sense for your own context. I like this kind of toolbox approaches.

EN: Surprising history little article about how even on something as important as declaring a war as over, sometimes simply... we forget.

FR: Article historique inattendu sur ou comment même sur quelque chose d'aussi important que de déclarer une guerre comme finie, parfois simplement... on oublie.

FR: Pour une fois un pas positif que la création de cette mission. Cela va dans le bon sens en espérant que cela soit respecté par ailleurs.

EN: For once a step in the right direction the creation of this mission. It goes in the right direction indeed but let's hope it'll be respected.

Interesting exploration for a low level bug in the TCP stack. A proof that it's not always the network being at fault. ;-)

Very interesting new supply chain attack. Shows one of the big downsides of the very convenient packaging tools everyone uses lately. Interestingly in that particular case it seems less risky only with the publicly available components, it's in the context of private repositories that the risk arises. Root cause seems to be the lack of control on how those tools resolve between private and public repositories.
