“Male European green woodpecker in the grass”

The European green woodpecker spends much of its time feeding on ants on the ground and does not often 'drum' on trees like other woodpecker species.

Both sexes are green above and pale yellowish green below, with yellow rump and red crown and nape; the moustachial stripe has a red centre in the male but is…

“I changed my license” by Henri Bergius

🔗 https://bergie.iki.fi/blog/eupl/

> Over the years it has been clear that we in the “open source” camp (as opposed to the “free software” camp) were wrong all along. We won the debate, and gained little for users or developers. All that our efforts did was to make it easier for big corporations build things more cheaply and for billionaires to become trillionaires.

> And so it is time to stop messing about…

Software developers think they’re explorers colonizing space, when the actual need, by now, is for them to be plumbers maintaining an essential down-to-earth infrastructure of an almost fixed size.

some day soon i am going to have (what i'd believed to be) a conversation with someone and feel their attention wander and see their eyes glaze over and i'll say to them "hey are you listening to me?" and they'll answer by pointing at their sleek wristpiece and saying "oh don't worry, keep talking, it's got siri recap." i need to work on my right hook so i can be prepared for when this day arrives

Do anyone remember the Microsoft Surface Duo?

I hope what I did a few years ago to enhance my photography site for dual screen is still relevant with the new #iPhoneDuo!

But what a lack of imagination from Apple, reusing the same name as Microsoft. 😅

“Oak Jays love to shell their own peanuts”

Rather shy, the Oak Jay is impossible to confuse. It sports rufous buff plumage with white and black wings, and beautiful blue feathers with black streaks. Its black whiskers are clearly visible, and its wings appear very rounded. Its white rump can be seen in flight.

The Jay feeds on acorns, which it carries…

If I add a festival to my https://www.concertarchives.org/ , my profile says I attended every single concert in the festival, not really relevant… 😕

For example, I saw Gorillaz and Little Simz at We Love Green 2026, but I can't track just these two concerts. 🤷‍♂️

“Waterfall on the Chardonnet”

The Chardonnet stream is a tributary of the Clarée River.

Not far from here, a steep path crosses the scree of the Queyrellin ridge between Côte Martine and Les Rifs and leads down to a series of chalets and a small chapel, back in the Clarée valley.

“Robber Fly”

Is that close enough? 😅

Though it doesn't look like a standard fly, the Robber Fly is actually a fly.

The sheer size of the insect can alarm people unfamiliar with it, but the loud buzzing it creates by furiously beating its wings can be more disturbing.

Flying insects like wasps, bees, beetles, and even other flies are all…

[TEMOIGNAGE]

Benoît-Julien, 38 ans, informaticien à vélo "J'ai remplacé le féminisme par la critique de l'IA et depuis ça va beaucoup mieux"

"Avant pour être de gauche il fallait être sympathisant féministe. Déjà c'était compliqué à comprendre, et il fallait principalement écouter en silence, voire se remettre en question, on se faisait engueuler tout le temps, c'était pas facile.
Maintenant grâce à la critique de l'IA je peux de nouveau ouvrir ma grande bouche et tartiner les réseaux sociaux avec ma magnifique vertu, les gens m'aiment et plus personne m'embête avec le féminisme, je me sens beaucoup plus détendu [...]"

Un témoignage poignant.
