Hi weirdos, and music with Buvette and The comet is coming, thx Laurie.

On the news,

• Vice on SUVs, which links to the charming work of Clotaire Rapaille (wiki).
• Our world in data: Food carbon footprint, via [fr] Nouveau Projet.
• 150k botanical & animal illustrations freed by the Biodiversity Heritage Library, cooool.
• [fr] Science étonnante - Température ressentie.
• [fr] Datagueule 94 - Surpopulation : La peur aux ventres.
• [fr] Nitot : En vrac climat & techno du mercredi.
• Tech:
  • Yayyyy it's the week of obnoxious privacy-invading behavior in apps: Google tracks individual users per Chrome installation ID (HN), and Wacom drawing tablets track the name of every application that you open (HN). Sounds like a great time for your periodical reminder to switch to a browser less obviously full of shit, one not made by cynical rich ethics-bleached assholes whose entire "mission" is to shove more ad & tracking fuckery down your throat by bending corrupting every standard under the sun, hiding in doublespeak sentences starting with "In our users best interest", then proceeding to do the exact contrary. Mozilla and Firefox are imperfect, but still a bajillion times better than the above. Choose your friends and be careful on the web, friends.
  • Paul Davis (Ardour lead): Is open-source a diversion from what users really want? 👍.
  • LWN: A new hash algorithm for Git, cool to read about the nitty-gritty of the transition.
