Well, except Telegram isn’t a good tool for privacy.

That's not the point. The hunting down on tools and their creators (and on our right to privacy) is the issue here. At least, imho.

Une question de vocabulaire, pour le coup: pourquoi "vacances apprenantes" au lieu de "vacances studieuses"? Je veux dire, apprendre (être un/une apprenant/apprenante), donc) n'est-ce pas étudier (être studieux)?

Cette question (bête?) mise à part, l'idée me semble bien sympathique :)

Cardiologist this Saturday, Dentist on Sunday because my dentist likes to work on Sundays while, oddly enough, I have no favorite day to go visit her :p — more seriously, she is real good I'm lucky to be one of her patients.

Beside that, reading, writing, spend time with my spouse. Maybe watch a DVD and, hopefully, keep on watching an online course at the Collège de France.

Edit: not much going out and no walking either this WE, like the previous days, since I've broken my foot — and I can tell you that not walking is really starting to become frustrating.

Do you mind if I send you a DM? I have more questions

Not the slightest, I can't promise I'll answer them all but, at worst, you only risk receiving a 'Sorry, I don't know' ;)
The best way would be to send me an email, though. Check the bottom of the About page, on my blog.

To keep YT under control: Firefox is my web browser, with the uBlock Origin extension installed. So, all Shorts/Suggestions, 'News' and 'Related content' are now automatically removed from YT '(easy to achieve with uBlock Origin when using Firefox).

😍🥰 Firefox + uBlockOrigin

And whenever Google/YT suggests me some turd content, I dislike it and ask it to not suggest the channel/content anymore.

In the end, my feed is mostly made of stuff I enjoy watching, with so little noise that it can not be considered an issue.

Sketching, reading, writing, listening to music... not going out for a walk (because of a broken foot) and the, oh so incredibly exciting reinstallation of my Mac on a new and larger thunderbolt SSD.

Reinstalling macOS has become so slow and such a pain (even more so on an external disc), in comparison with older Mac and compared to reinstalling a Linux system. Luckily, I had a good book to read while I waited for macOS to reinstall itself :p

I appreciate your feedback and understand where you’re coming from. However, I believe

You're more than welcome to believe whatever you want. That does not make it a fact. And certainly not something I'm interested in or I'm willing to consider worth discussing.

Have a nice day.

Although I must admit I would feel a bit embarrassed asking them as well 😂.

You, or someone else is paying for that prescription. There is nothing to be ashamed of in asking them to provide something readable.

My eye doctor is a very strange person as she uses that very novel piece of high tech called a computer and a printer, and never writes a prescription by hand. Oddly enough, nobody has difficulty reading what she writes :p

Hello Science Community, Thank you for taking the time to review this manuscript. While it includes philosophical elements, it also explores scientific ideas that I hope will spark thoughtful discussion and constructive criticism. I look forward to your feedback. Thank you again!

You are sharing your personal opinion in that text (and, yep, I read it). That's not science and it's not philosophy.

Opinions are fine. I mean, we all have opinions and they can differ widely from person to person. That's the reason why they're called personal opinions. But they're just that, opinions, aka the expression of personal judgments/values and personal preferences.

'I don't like bananas' is a personal preference of mine. 'I think bannas taste like shit' is my personal opinion on them. My preference and my opinion say absolutely nothing about bananas and their qualities as a fruit. At best, they state a fact about me. Not about the bananas which, obviously, are perfectly fine fruits whether I like them or not.

Despite the intense dumbing down going on on in our societies, opinions and preferences don't make a science. And if they can sometimes be considered a starting point to a (or some makeshift) philosophy , they still need a little more work — the important words in the latter definition being 'system', 'analysis', 'theory' and 'understanding', not expressing one's opinions.

I would constantly log them out of all their social and turn off their phone — what a naughty ghost would I be :p
