@aemarielle Je pense que c'est une erreur. Les triggers warnings / CW sont fait pour ne pas offenser les gens ... Tu ne devrais pas rentrer dans ce jeu là ... Je suis toujours tes dessins avec intérêt ici ou sur ton site. Mais à un moment on a les réseaux sociaux qu'on mérite. Il faut pas se laisser culpabiliser ou intidimider comme ça.

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/10/how-to-actually-test-your-readme/
If you've spent any time using Linux, you'll be used to installing software like this:
The README says to download from this link. Huh, I'm not sure how to unarchive .tar.xz files - guess I'll search for that. Right, it says run
setup.shhmm, that doesn't work. Oh, I need to set the permissions. What was thechmodcommand again? OK, that's working. Wait, it needssudo. Let me run that again. Hang on, am I in the right directory? Here it goes. What, it crapped out. I don't have some random library - how the hell am I meant to install that? My distro has v21 but this requires <=19. Ah, I also need to upgrade something which isn't supplied by repo. Nearly there, just need to compile this obscure project from SourceForge which was inexplicably installed on the original dev's machine and then I'll be good to go. Nope. Better raise an issue on GitHub. Oh, look, it is tomorrow.
As a developer, you probably don't want to answer dozens of tickets complaining that users are frustrated with your work. You thought you made the README really clear and - hey! - it works on your machine.
There are various solutions to this problem - developers can release AppImages, or Snaps, or FlatPaks, or Docker or whatever. But that's a bit of stretch for a solo dev who is slinging out a little tool that they coded in their spare time. And, even those don't always work as seamlessly as you'd hope.
There's an easier solution:
OK, that's a bit reductive! There are a million variables which go into a test - so I'm going to introduce you to a secret zeroth step.
If you are a developer, your machine probably has a billion weird configurations and obscure libraries installed on it - things which definitely aren't on your users' machines. Having a box-fresh VM means than you are starting with a blank-slate. If, when following your README, you discover that the app doesn't install because of a missing dependency, you can adjust your README to include apt install whatever.
Personally, I like Boxes as it gives you a simple choice of VMs - but there are plenty of other Virtual Machine managers out there.
Pick a standard OS that you like. I think the latest Ubuntu Server is pretty lightweight and is a good baseline for what people are likely to have. But feel free to pick something with a GUI or whatever suits your audience.
Once your VM is installed and set up for basic use, take a snapshot.
Every time you want to test or re-test a README, revert back to the original state of your box. That way you won't have odd half-installed packages laying about.
Your next step is to think about how much hand-holding do you want to do?
For example, the default Debian doesn't ship with git. Does your README need to tell people to sudo apt install git and then walk them through configuring it so that they can git clone your repo?
Possibly! Who is your audience? If you've created a tool which is likely to be used by newbies who are just getting started with their first Raspberry Pi then, yeah, you probably will need to include that. Why? Because it will save you from receiving a lot of repeated questions and frustrated emails.
OK, but most developers will have gcc installed, right? Maybe! But it doesn't do any harm to include it in a long list of apt get … anyway, does it? Similarly, does everyone know how to upgrade to the very latest npm?
If your software is designed for people who are experienced computer touchers, don't fall into the trap of thinking that they know everything you do. I find it best to assume people are intelligent but not experienced; it doesn't hurt to give slightly too much detail.
The best way to do this is to record everything you do after logging into the blank VM.
history -w history.txtHey presto! You now have README instructions which have been tested to work. Even on the most bare-bones machine, you can say that your README will allow the user to get started with your software with the minimum amount of head-scratching.
Now, this isn't foolproof. Maybe the user has an ancient operating system running on obsolete hardware which is constantly bombarded by cosmic rays. But at least this way your issues won't be clogged up by people saying their install failed because lib-foobar wasn't available or that ./configure had fatal errors.
A great example is the Opus Codec README. I went into a fresh Ubuntu machine, followed the readme, ran the above history command, and got this:
sudo apt-get install git autoconf automake libtool gcc makegit clone https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/opus.gitcd opus./autogen.sh./configuremakesudo make installEverything worked! There was no missing step or having to dive into another README to figure out how to bind flarg 6.9 with schnorp-unstable.
So that's my plea to you, dear developer friend. Make sure your README contains both the necessary and sufficient information required to install your software. For your sake, as much as mine!
You're quite right. Feel free to send a pull request to correct this post - as I shall be doing with any unhelpful READMEs I find along the way.

A few days ago Oracle, via the media, blamed their own customers for not installing a July security update.. then when the media coverage stopped, quietly released a new security update for the actual exploited vulnerability. 🥴
The details for the Oracle hack are as embarrassing as you'd imagine..

So, its ever clearer that the Labour Party seems to have decided to choose the agenda of the migrant haters over the welfare of NHS staff;
as the Royal College of Nursing points out, the new proposed (further) limitations on migrants ability to settle where they're working, is going to cause a major problem for the NHS & the care sector.
Whatever you think about the NHS' dependence on migrant staff, this sort of 'shock' will just deepen the NHS crisis.

Les vagues
Texte intégral révisé suivi d'une biographie de Virginia Woolf. Préface et traduction de Marguerite Yourcenar. Avec ses longs monologues intérieurs dont les courbes se succèdent et s'entrecroisent, "Les Vagues" est une composition musicale à six instruments sur le thème de la vie. Libérée de l'espace et du temps, l'intrigue s'amenuise au point de disparaître et rien ne permet de différencier les vies individuelles des six personnages, ainsi que le langage dans lequel ils expriment leur histoire de la naissance à la mort. Ce sont moins des héros qu'une suite d'impressions multiples se déroulant comme le flux et le reflux des vagues. Dans la succession des instants la romancière choisit le moment d'être qui cristallise une réalité mouvante. Derrrière la diversité des modes d'existence elle tente de retrouver l'être continu. Qu'est-ce que la vie, qui suis-je ? "Des pièces, des morceaux, des fragments" dit-elle. En faisant du monde invisible qui habite le plus profond de notre conscience et de notre inconscience l'essence du roman, Virginia Woolf atteint ici à l'essence de la poésie. "La vie n'est pas une série de lanternes disposées symétriquement; la vie est un halo lumineux, une enveloppe à demi transparente où nous sommes enfermés depuis la naissance de notre conscience jusqu'à la mort".
Je suis ma liberté
(Quatrième de couverture de la traduction française)
Incarcéré à perpétuité dans les geôles israéliennes, Nasser a dit adieu au monde. Au fil des années, un lien particulier s'est noué entre ce Palestinien et le mur qui lui fait face : celui-ci s'anime, répond et change d'apparence selon que l'espoir ou le renoncement domine. Surtout, il lui inspire ce texte. Depuis sa cellule, Nasser raconte son histoire et celle de son peuple comme s'il les extirpait du mur, faisant surgir par ses mots le monde qu'il a quitté. Lorsque Nanna, une jeune avocate qui rend visite aux prisonniers, s'éprend de cette âme libre, le monologue du condamné devient dialogue ardent. Mais l'amour peut-il patienter? Tels les Bédouins puisant dans un lexique infini pour décrire le désert, Nasser Abu Srour fait de sa prison un univers en expansion. Entre réalité et onirisme, Je suis ma liberté est un hommage vision- naire au pouvoir émancipateur de la littérature.
Nasser Abu Srour est un écrivain palestinien. "Je suis ma liberté" est son premier livre. Accusé de complicité dans l'assassinat d'un officier du renseignement israélien, il a été arrêté et condamné à perpétuité en 1993. En prison, il a obtenu une licence d'anglais de l'université de Bethléem ainsi qu'un master en sciences politiques de l'université al-Qods.

Here’s a three month old screenshot of a tweet that tickled me
The county is set to receive up to £20 million over the next decade as part of the UK Government’s Pride of Place programme, which will channel £214 million into Wales to support high streets, community facilities and regeneration projects.
Cllr Cundy, leader of the Labour opposition group on Carmarthenshire Council, said the funding equated to £100 per resident over ten years and represented a major boost after years of austerity.
“This is fair and transparent — real money for real communities, funding that can revitalise high streets, improve local facilities, and support both rural villages and town centres,” he said.
He accused Plaid Cymru of “choosing grievance over growth”:
“Instead of welcoming help for Welsh people, Plaid prefer to complain. After more than a decade in charge of Carmarthenshire, Plaid Cymru seem quicker to complain than to deliver.”
Cllr Cundy stressed that it would be for the Plaid‑led administration to decide which areas benefit:
“Within the rules of the scheme, they have the chance to prioritise deprived villages, struggling town centres, or regeneration hotspots. If impoverished rural areas are left behind, that will be the result of Plaid’s choices locally — not Labour’s investment nationally.”
He added:
“Carmarthenshire alone will receive around £2 million a year, equal to £10 for every resident. Labour’s priority is simple: uniting Wales through investment, not playing politics with people’s futures. Because as the saying goes: you can’t spend a grievance in the corner shop — but you can spend £2 million a year improving Carmarthenshire.”
But council leader Darren Price has joined fellow Plaid leaders from Ceredigion, Gwynedd and Anglesey in criticising the scheme’s design.
In their joint statement, they said:
“Any funding for communities across Wales is welcome, but it is clear this does not stem from an understanding of Wales’ needs. It is a political panic button pushed by Labour ahead of a difficult election.”
They argued that targeting investment zones of around 10,000 people would disadvantage rural areas:
“This Pride in Place programme specifically targets neighbourhoods with populations of around 10,000, of which there are only a handful in the four western local authorities we control. This approach highlights the Labour Government’s continued disregard for our rural communities that have been disproportionately underfunded over the years.”
The Plaid leaders added:
“The people of Wales can see through this. Labour has deserted its values and turned its back on promises to deliver fair funding for Welsh communities.”
The clash reflects wider tensions between Labour and Plaid over how regeneration money is distributed. Labour points to what it calls the “biggest Welsh Government budget settlement ever” and insists the Pride of Place scheme is about fairness and delivery. Plaid counters that the funding model is urban‑centric, leaving smaller villages at risk of being overlooked.
With Carmarthenshire Council responsible for drawing up the shortlist of communities, and the UK Government holding the final sign‑off, both parties are already positioning themselves to claim credit — or deflect blame — once the allocations are announced.

Drowsy Hitler Donald followed Hegseth with a low-energy, incoherent rant for the ages, a travesty against decency, truth, and humanity—and an open declaration of war on America. Below are a few representative quotes from Donald Trump’s speech.
From Full Metal Jackass: Trump & Hegseth Demand Treason. The “War Secretary” and the president of the United States declare war on America. From Jim Stewartson.
“America is under invasion from within. We’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in many ways because they don’t wear uniforms. At least when they’re wearing a uniform," .....
His treasonous comments on war criminal putin's genocidal war against Ukraine ... show an incompetent, unfit traitor.

Leigh Evans, who describes himself as a “full‑time humanitarian,” is among two Welsh participants on the Global Sumud Flotilla, alongside Nadia Kearney from Wrexham. The convoy of boats, backed by campaigner Greta Thunberg, is attempting to deliver humanitarian supplies to Gaza.

She wrote on social media:
“Two Welsh citizens – Leigh Evans from Swansea and Nadia Kearney from Wrexham – are among those on board. We must ensure their safety and defend their right to engage in non‑violent humanitarian action.”
The letter, coordinated by Labour MP Bell Ribeiro‑Addy, highlights past incidents where flotillas have been intercepted by Israeli forces and urges the UK Government to take steps to prevent harm to British nationals.
Letter from Bell Ribeiro‑Addy MP to Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, signed by 84 parliamentarians, raising concerns for the safety of British citizens on the Global Sumud Flotilla.Evans has been a visible figure in pro‑Palestinian activism. In August he was arrested during a London protest in support of the banned group Palestine Action. Extinction Rebellion, which shared footage of the arrest, described it as part of a wider clampdown on freedom of expression.
Following his release, Evans posted a lengthy message on Instagram urging supporters not to “fear the arrest,” calling for “passive interference” such as strikes, unpaid leave, and visible acts of solidarity. His post ended with the slogan “From the river to the sea.”

In the clip, reported by the Jewish Chronicle, he described the “horror” of conditions inside the Strip and appealed to officers as his “brothers” to “allow us to stand for Falesteen”.

Pembrokeshire activist Jim Scott has written to MPs and ministers urging the UK and Welsh governments to follow European countries that have pledged naval protection for their citizens.
He warned that flotilla vessels had already faced intimidation in international waters and said: “Innocent Palestinian civilians, women and children are starving and under constant bombardment, and those aboard the flotilla are risking their lives to help them.”
The flotilla, carrying food, baby formula and medical supplies, has drawn international attention. Supporters describe it as a peaceful humanitarian effort, while critics argue such missions risk confrontation with Israeli forces enforcing the blockade.
For Evans, the journey marks the latest chapter in a series of high‑profile interventions that have made him both a celebrated and controversial figure in the UK’s pro‑Palestinian movement.
