RRRA··on 2025 Turing award given for quantum information science
That's 2 Turing award for the Université de Montréal in 6 years. Sadly, I never had those 2 teachers during my years there!

I did see Gilles' lunch talks though, it was really insightful!

RRRA··on Hostile Volume – A game about adjusting volume with intentionally bad UI
Not sure how on desktop either, I've inspected the value and set it to 25 to no avail :P

edit: ok... somehow my approach didn't work the first time, but got to 18!

RRRA··on Can I run AI locally?
I'd be curious to see people give their opinion on embedded models for less tech focused needs, say what's that bug killing spray chemistry like or what is the history of this or that...

I'd also be curious to see if people have started doing censorship analysis of various models, like Qwen differing Tiananmen square to government documments while Llama straights up answers the question.

RRRA··on GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple
Until these OS also start putting forward something like WebOS that tried to get phones back to on open web, there is no breaking the binary format and Appstore monopoly.

I wish Europe would have forced that 10 years ago since the US is beyond saving.

RRRA··on uBlock filter list to hide all YouTube Shorts
I just installed a plug-in for that, shorts are pure brain rot which YouTube already mostly is ...
RRRA··on Hackers (1995) Animated Experience
Now add a flashing red box with:

/root/.workspace/garbage

(was that it?) and a VJ mode that scrolls around to the beat and you have something for the next party!

RRRA··on De-dollarization: Is the US dollar losing its dominance? (2025)
When is everyone going to dump their US bonds? Will Groenland be the redline, finally?
RRRA··on Windows 8 Desktop Environment for Linux
Might be away to switch some countries administration's away from Windows and minimize resistance...
RRRA··on Americans no longer see four-year college degrees as worth the cost
It's insane to me having to contemplate how much more of a simple cog in the machine I would be mentally, intellectually, etc. had I not been exposed to sciences for the sake of knowledge and had only been trained on the job and some day tossed out as not useful anymore...

That would be the definition of alienation for me.

RRRA··on Meow.camera
Jenny Cam has evolved so much
RRRA··on EVs are depreciating faster than gas-powered cars
My EV is 3 years old, but I have no hope of being able to swap the battery every, at least not in any reasonable way. That said, it'll be fine for my use case for at least 15 years, so whatever :)
RRRA··on Apple Vision Pro upgraded with M5 chip
Soon (TM)
RRRA··on Apple Vision Pro upgraded with M5 chip

RRRA··on Show HN: Lazy Tetris
Needs to be able to rotate in place or certain moves usually possible are now unattainable, but great otherwise
RRRA··on East Germany invented 'unbreakable' drinking glasses
I'm curious who is still making something similar
RRRA··on Psytrance Guide
A true connoisseur!
RRRA··on Psytrance Guide
Simon Posford enters the chat
RRRA··on Solid-State Battery Has 2x the Energy–and No Anode
Most new solar installations now use LiFePO4 which apparently is much safer on that runaway side...
RRRA··on Cheerful chatbots don’t necessarily improve customer service
Europe is always saving everyone's ass ... Airline policies, usb-c on phones, 5 years support, etc etc. But it's still never enough.
RRRA··on Cheerful chatbots don’t necessarily improve customer service
I think on one side Amazon started punishing those who abused the return policy repeatedly and, on the other one, the chat support has become a shit show with people not being able to help and being just as bad as chatbots.

I've personally been sent a single elastic band for hairs instead of 1 TB SSD, twice, and had to explain to them that shipping it back didn't make sense for either of us and eventually got what I needed them to understand, but only after wasting over an hour talking to some clown service who isn't allowed to use proof or their breaks. And that's just how things have been going in the last year, worst and worst...

RRRA··on Quebec’s Great Maple Syrup Heist (2016)
Ah ben tabarnac, this shows to again
RRRA··on Open source is the way out of a tech downturn
Always have been . GIF
RRRA··on MilkyTracker
I've been using this for years to read my .MOD etc. That I've accumulated in the early 90s, really feels like the original experience!
RRRA··on Princeton lab simulates nuclear war (2019)
Joyful weekend everyone
RRRA··on Queen Elizabeth II has died
Now let's get rid of this imperial family in all of the commonwealth and let the UK decide for themselves...
RRRA··on iSH Shell
Good old 17+ shells? :P What's wrong with Apple and self imposed censorship?
RRRA··on Maybe we shouldn’t use Zoom after all
I can't wait for signal to support group video chat...
RRRA··on Twitter to decentralize something
How has IPFS evolved lately?

Strange how Québec's SQDC seems profitable...
