I didn't think I would ever find a useful personal growth book, but Deep Work was different. I expected a grind mindset book, and I've found one that makes a case for undistracted work, backed by science. A helpful tool in my quest to reclaim focus! ergaster.org/posts/2025/0...

Mes collègues anglophones disent que "la marée montante soulève tous les bateaux". Parce que l'information sauve et unit face à la propagande, parce que @blast-info.fr produit des émissions accessibles et publiques, et parce qu'on ne s'en sortira qu'ensemble, j'ai augmenté ma cotisation mensuelle.

I’m sorry. You can all be mad at journalists for this or whatever. And maybe in some cases it’s deserved. But this is a high-risk profession that’s dying. There’s little support for most working journalists who still have jobs. When you blame “the media,” blame executives. Not workers.

The world's richest man has joined a growing chorus of right-wing voices attacking Wikipedia as part of an intensifying campaign against free and open access information. Why do they hate it so much?

Starting 2025 on the right foot by trying to get a healthier relationship with my phone. TIL that iOS has a downtime mode to limit screen time, and it seems pretty useful to me. ergaster.org/til/ios-down...

I've finally put words over how as a long time (happy) Apple Watch user I've decided to replace it with a simple, not so dumb, watch. All reviews are on https://ergaster.org/gear, specific posts below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

What if I want my books to be mine, not allow anyone to spy on me, but I also don't want to give up on modern convenience either? The Kobo Clara 2E matches my needs, but it takes some fiddling. Here's how I prevented it from reporting everything to Google.

I've always struggled to find hardware that matches my need. I want to strike the right balance between durable and expandable, I want portable equipment that I can carry with me, and I want my gear to play nicely with each other. I've started reviewing my gear at

Steady progress on the list of gear I use or have used. I have a markdown file per item, with some information in the frontmatter, and a review in the body. The consistency of the data is enforced by @astro.build 's content API. It is so much fun to use, I love this framework.

The Light Phone III checks many boxes on my wish list for a better companion device that actually respects its owner, but has show-stoppers. And if there's one thing I've learned with the Librem 5 it's that with pre-orders you need to keep your expectations low. www.thelightphone.com/lightiii
