For once, I'm not going to talk purely about web development, but rather about the digital lifestyle? A few years ago, there was a lot of talk about online banking. I must admit that I fell for it at the time (and following a lot of advice too, because marketing isn't everything?) and created an account with N26. The conclusion? I still use it as a secondary account today. Online banking VS traditional banking Tech people understand each other when it comes to getting things done...

Hello there! Today's article is going to be quite short, but practical. In my little life as a freelance developer, I have to monitor my customers' applications and websites to make sure they're up and running, including the site you're currently on.... So I don't miss a single incident, the device that alerts me if there's the slightest problem with one of the services I manage is on my wrist... and yes, it's the Apple Watch. Basically, I'm someone who doesn't like notifications; they t...

Hello, hello?. This week, we're going to talk about a subject that bothers us all. We've all received at least one in our lives, and for some of us (like me, for example), it's easily 10 or so a day. That's all well and good, but for the sake of sound mental health, let's take a look at how to block these calls, and thus remove unhelpful distractions.

Hello there! In the web world, images are everywhere. Whether to illustrate an article, create a banner or retouch a photo, images are an essential part of the web. To manipulate them, we often use software such as GIMP, or Inkscape (which is great for PNGs). But it's also possible to do lots of things with the command line, and the Linuxian in me is delighted with this option? The really cool thing about using the CLI is that you can automate image processing, for example, by writing jus...

Hello Hello ?, Windows isn't my main operating system, in fact I'm more Linux / macOS, but that doesn't stop me from following what's going on with Windows and using it from time to time. It has to be said that Microsoft's work over the last few years has been quite remarkable; between the terminal, "WSL 2" and "Powershell", there's plenty to do. This week, I'd like to talk a little about "PowerToys", a set of tools made available by Microsoft to enhance the Windows experience. As the...

Over the last ten years, we're not going to lie to ourselves, there's been one all-category champion who's been raking in all the market share, well, especially on the "desktop", I'm talking of course about Google Chrome.

Hello and good morning, This week I'm going to give you a short list of the applications I use on a daily basis, and more importantly ... why? First of all, I'm not talking about licenses here, and even less about commercial practices. Yes, I know that in this article I'm going to talk about companies that have commercial practices that not everyone agrees with, but I'm not going to deal with that, so try to keep that in mind when reading this article. How do I choose my tools? Actual...
