The Casio GW-M5610 watch


Case size (L× W× H)	46.7 × 43.2 × 12.7 mm
Weight	51.7 g

Three years ago, I bought a Casio GW-M5610 for 150 euros. I wanted a watch to reduce my phone usage and to break the habit of checking news feeds every time I grabbed my phone to check the time. In the same spirit, I wanted an alarm feature to replace my phone as a morning wake-up tool. I was looking for a rugged watch with an alarm feature that could withstand various outdoor activities.

Leaving Twitter

I am leaving Twitter. Please do not contact/tag me on this network.

10 years ago, I signed up to twitter.com by curiosity. I immediatly loved the format, the RT and the hashtags. The requirement to be concise and the full public discussions were appealing to me.

My first usage was to keep a technological watch, to discover new projects like new programming frameworks, and to be confronted to new scientific ideas. I was already aware of disinformation and the basics of information warfare. I knew from the start that in order to not become crazy, my news feed needed to be maintained to stay in the scope I wanted. I discovered a lot of very smart people and witnessed wonderful discussions. It changed or confirmed my opinion about a lot technological and social advancements, from nuclear energy and GMO to abortion and minority rights. I learned what moral panic is and how to see biases and irrational fear driven by ignorance in my discourse and others. It may be surprising for a network that encourages talk first, think later, but witnessing multiple debunking a day made me want to not appear like an idiot when sharing my thoughts to the world. However the first duty of a social network user is not to be ashamed of his own opinion and to share it; mistakes are human. It is to not relay whatever stupidity confirming his bias that is clearly unsourced.

Hello World

1. About writing

It is not easy.

2. About this website

A static website was an evidence for me, I do not write enough to need a database and I have no abhorrence against editing configuration files.

2.1 Privacy

This website has no javascript, no cookie, no tracker whatsoever. ~~I do not spend time watching my caddy server logs and elaborate statistic about its visitors~~. (Edit: I found a way to have logs without storing visitors IPs, cf notes/caddy-logs-and-goaccess). I just want a little part of internet where a visitor can read content without no exchange of information.
