À tous ceux qui pleurent en voyant leur facture Google Map, sachez que le moteur Addok de geocoding / reverse geocoding https://github.com/addok/addok porté par Etalab et qui se branche facilement sur les adresses de la Base d'Adresses Nationale est vraiment top ! Vous pouvez l'essayer ici : https://adresse.data.gouv.fr/map

On en a installé une instance au boulot et on migre petit à petit notre code.

Merci @cquest et @ybon de faire vivre un projet pareil, sous licence WTFPL !

Sauve la planète,
arrête la cigarette !

C’est marrant, hier j’écoute “À tout moment la rue” d’Eiffel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbPkze7gUXc

Et ce matin, j’ai bien ça en tête quand je vois Hulot qui démissionne prouvant que même de l’intérieur on ne peut rien changer…

Malgré tout le pacifisme que je porte, il semblerait que le changement ne pourra venir que des pavés. Quelle tristesse.

Damn, I'm wondering how this could affect website like https://www.phoronix.com

And this is going to profit everyone even not gamers / not steam users, as they are upstreaming most of their work to Wine.

See from the official announcement:

I know a lot of gamers who have a dual boot only for gaming and are going to remove it to keep only Linux thanks to that improvement. This is big. This is very big. Added to the fact that AMD drivers are now open source and always performing better, this is definitely the year of linux on desktop for gaming.

Only downside I see: most companies will not bother port their games to Linux anymore. But few were doing it anyway.

Massive upgrade to Linux Steam client: Windows games can now be played with Linux

https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/1696055855739350561

This is THE huge news of Linux for 2018. Valve announced that they are now embedding Proton, their improved wine, inside the Linux native steam client, allowing it to launch every windows game of the steam marketplace with similar performance.

Yay, welcome the new and very improved #thunderbird! https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/60.0/releasenotes/
