Malgré que nous n'ayons pour l'instant pas de réelles séquences de gameplay, Static Between Stations semble être l'un des projets indé les plus ambitieux à paraitre pour cette année 2026.
On parle ici d'un vrai gros RPG, avec points de compétences, combats en tour par tour et jets de dés à la clef.
Le ministre malaisien Zulkifli Hasan a suscité une polémique en déclarant devant le Parlement que le stress au travail pouvait pousser des individus à s’impliquer dans la communauté LGBT. Ses propos, largement critiqués et tournés en dérision, vont à l’encontre du consensus scientifique international et mettent en lumière la persistance de discours stigmatisants envers les minorités sexuelles et de genre en Malaisie.
The development of cheaper, more powerful lasers has always been a cause for excitement among hackers, and fiber lasers are no exception. One of the newer tools they’ve enabled is the laser welder, which can be used to weld, cut through metal, or clean off surfaces. Or, as [Cranktown City] demonstrated, you can use one to build a metal 3D printer.
The printer’s built around a 2000-Watt fiber laser welder from Skyfire, and the motion system came from a defunct secondhand 3D printer built by an out-of-business insole printing company. The frame was reinforced with steel, the welding gun was mounted in place of the hotend, and the trigger was replaced with a CNC-controlled switch. It didn’t originally use any specific shielding gas, since the welder was supposed to perform adequately with just compressed air if high weld quality wasn’t essential.
The first few tests were promising, but did reveal quite a few problems. Heat buildup was an early issue which threatened to warp the build plate, and which eventually welded the build plate to the Z-axis gantry. Adding a strong cooling fan and putting a gap between the build plate and the gantry solved this. The wire also kept getting stuck to the build surface, which [Cranktown City] solved by pausing the wire feed and pulling it away from the part when a layer finished. Simply using compressed air led to a weak deposit that cracked easily, and while a nitrogen stream improved the print somewhat, argon shielding gas gave the best results. For his final print, [Cranktown City] made a vase. The layers were a bit crude, but better than most welder-based metal printers, and the system shows some real promise.
Je suis un peu con, et flemmard. C’est pour ça que je crée mes outils pour me simplifier le travail (ça me libère du temps pour réfléchir à le simplifier encore plus).
Quand on me dit qu’on peut faire quelque chose, je comprends « tu n’es pas obligé de le faire ».
Si c’est obligatoire, il fallait me dire « tu dois ».
C’est à ça que servent les mots avec un sens précis.
Les incompréhension et malentendus sont la raison pour laquelle un quart du monde est en ruine et en guerre (un autre quart pour le pétrole, un quart pour une question d’amis imaginaire, et le reste parce qu’un peuple brillamment décérébré a élu un psychopathe comme son président).
Le tout en citant la RFC 2119 qui défini, pour les normes et recommandations de l’Internet, quand employer les termes doit / peut / obligatoirement / optionnel / …
Je remarque que certaines normes ISO / EN / NF ont parfois un paragraphe similaire. Je n’ai pas connaissance d’une norme dédiée, mais je copie ça là :
L’attention du lecteur est attirée sur les points suivants :
Seules les formes verbales doit et doivent sont utilisées pour exprimer une ou des exigences qui doivent être respectées pour se conformer au présent document.
Ces exigences peuvent se trouver dans le corps de la norme ou en annexe qualifiée de «normative». Pour les méthodes d’essai, l’utilisation de l’infinitif correspond à une exigence.
Les expressions telles que, il convient et il est recommandé sont utilisées pour exprimer une possibilité préférée mais non exigée pour se conformer au présent
document. Les formes verbales peut et peuvent sont utilisées pour exprimer une suggestion ou un conseil utiles mais non obligatoires, ou une autorisation.
En outre, le présent document peut fournir des renseignements supplémentaires destinés à faciliter la compréhension ou l'utilisation de certains éléments ou à en clarifier l'application, sans énoncer d'exigence à respecter. Ces éléments sont présentés sous forme de notes ou d'annexes informatives
Oui, il faudrait une norme globale pour ça (un calque de la RFC).
Quand quelque chose est obligatoire pour être valide, il faut que ça soit mis.
Quand quelque chose est recommandé (utile sans être obligatoire) ou non-recommandé (inutile voire dangereux sans être interdit), ça doit être dit aussi.
C’est con qu’il faille préciser ça, mais première nouvelle : les gens SONT cons.
En tant que rédacteur d’instruction de travail (une partie de mon travail), il est de ma responsabilité de faire en sorte que les gens comprennent et travaillent correctement. Dans certains cas, des vies sont en jeu (dans l’aérien, une défaillance c’est souvent synonyme d’accident et de morts).
En mettant « doit » au lieu de « peut », on se couvre. Si la personne comprend mal, c’est un accident.
En insistant sur la différence de doit et peut, si la personne commet encore l’erreur, c’est de l’incompétence ou du sabotage. Pas un accident.
Les normes, les lois, les instructions, devraient insister sur ça. Et choisir leur vocabulaire soigneusement.

The Winter Games, running from 6 to 22 February, are taking place in Italy. Hosted jointly by the cities of Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, athletes will be descending on Northern Italy to compete.
LGBTQ+ athletes will be arriving in the snowy region with the hopes of making their countries proud, and maybe bringing home a gold medal.
This year’s Winter Games have already seen a showcase of LGBTQ+ talent with the stars of Heated Rivalry carrying the Olympic torch. However, there is a lot more to come.
Here are the LGBTQ+ athletes you should keep an eye on:
Amber Glenn is going for gold. (Matthew Stockman/Getty)
Amber Glenn – Figure Skating. Team USA
We predict American figure skater Amber Glenn will be one of the stars of this year’s Winter Games. The 26-year-old, who came out publicly as bisexual and pansexual in 2019, has been going from strength to strength.
Already this year, Glenn set a new record for the women’s US champion short program. She then became the first US woman in 21 years to win a third consecutive US championship.
Furthermore, just by taking to the ice in Italy, she’ll be making history as the first out LGBTQ+ woman to figure skate at any Olympics, Outsports reported.
Glenn has credited coming out and living as her true self as one of the reasons why she’s excelling on the ice. Reflecting on living as an out athlete, Glenn shared: “We have more acceptance and more of a community in the queer space, and I feel like I’ve been accepted with open arms, and that’s not the case for all sports.”

Anna Kjellbin and Ronja Savolainen – Women’s Hockey
A real-life lesbian Heated Rivalry competing at this year’s Olympics. Yes, you heard right!
As depicted in Heated Rivalry, the National Hockey League has no active male players who are publicly out. However, when it comes to the Professional Women’s Hockey League, it’s a different story. There are around 30 out players, a number of whom are heading to this year’s Olympics.
Now, however, they play for PWHL teams: Kjellbin plays for the Toronto Sceptres and Savolainen plays for the Ottawa Charge. That rivalry is being upped at the Olympics, as Kjellbin will be representing Sweden and Savolainen will be representing Finland.
This will be Savolainen’s third Olympic Games, winning bronze at both the 2018 and 2022 Games. Meanwhile, this year marks Kjellbin’s Olympic debut.

Brittany Bowe – Speed Skater. Team USA
American speed skater Brittany Bowe will certainly be one to watch as the decorated athlete is a real medal contender.
Heading to her fourth Olympics, Bowe already has two bronze medals, from 2018 and 2022. She’s the current world record holder in the 1000 meters distance and has previously held the 1500 meters world record.
Bowe’s partner is fellow Olympian and ice hockey star Hilary Knight. Speaking to People recently, though she won an Olympic medal, Bowe said her “biggest win coming out of [the] Beijing” Olympics was meeting Knight. Adorable!

Gus Kenworthy – Freestyle Skiing.Team GB
All eyes will be on legendary freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy at the Games after he dramatically came out of retirement. 2026 marks his fourth Olympic Games and he’ll be hitting the slopes as part of Team GB.
Kenworthy is the star of one of the most memorable Winter Olympic moments: at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, he and his partner at the time, actor Matthew Wilkas, shared a kiss that was broadcast. It became known as a significant moment for LGBTQ+ visibility in professional sports.
Kenworthy competed for the USA in his first two Games, but for the UK in his third. He won silver at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. He then came out as gay the following year. In 2022, Kenworthy retired after a nasty crash and dropped out of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Hilary Knight – Women’s Hockey. Team USA
Ice hockey player Hilary Knight is leading Team USA’s squad to the ice. The 36-year-old is practically the face of women’s hockey in the US. She is no stranger to the pressure, going for her fifth Olympic medal in her fifth appearance at the games.
She has one gold and three silvers from the previous four Olympic Games. Also, Knight captained Team USA to a gold medal at the 2025 world championships, so the team are looking strong ahead of the Olympics.
The team have been seeded in Group A, alongside Canada, Finland, Czechia and Switzerland.
Knight is part of the queer community and was initially hesitant about coming out publicly. However, she began dating speed skater Bowe after meeting her at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing. Knight credits her relationship with Bowe with helping her to find the courage to come out, talk about a power couple!

Kim Meylemans – Skeleton Racer. Team Belgium
After her World Cup victory earlier this month, Kim Meylemans is on track for Olympic success. Meylemans is a skeleton racer: a high-speed winter sport, where an athlete lies face-down and head-first on a small sled, navigating an icy track at speeds of over 90mph.
The 29-year-old skeleton racer is returning for her third Olympics, after competing in 2018 and 2022. She’s on a fantastic career run at the moment, winning gold at both the 2024 and 2026 European Championships.
“This team right here is something truly special though and a big part of this success — I wouldn’t have achieved this goal without them, especially my wife,” Meylemans wrote in an Instagram post following her World Cup victory.
“Don’t think anyone truly understands how much I needed her with me (pushing & supporting me) to achieve this.”
Lewis Gibson is a Team GB Olympic medal hopeful. (Shaun Botterill/Getty)
Lewis Gibson – Figure Skating. Team GB
Scottish figure skater Lewis Gibson is the 2025 world bronze medalist. Can he grab gold in 2026?
With his ice dance partner, Lilah Fear, Gibson is a four-time European medalist, an eight-time ISU Challenger Series gold medalist and an eight-time British national champion.
The 31-year-old first spoke about his sexuality in 2022. However, he’s remarked that he felt his public coming out was in a Valentine’s Day photo with his now-husband, Joshua Walsh.
Recently, Gibson added his voice to a growing movement in favour of allowing same-sex partnerships to compete internationally. Starting next season, British Ice Skating has permitted same-sex teams in national competitions.

Nicole Silveira – Skeleton Racer. Team Brazil
Representing Team Brazil on the ice slopes, Nicole Silveira is a skeleton racer going up against her wife, Meylemans, in the high-speed sport.
Silveira’s career is also impressive. She finished 13th in 2022, Brazil’s best-ever result in sliding sports at the Winter Olympics. Then, she secured bronze at two of the World Cup stages of the 2024–25 season.
Silveira has also been open about her experiences as a queer athlete. “From the beginning, I wasn’t 100 percent sure that’s who I was and what I wanted. So it took me a while to finally be OK with it, I guess,” Silveira told TODAY in 2022.
“For a moment there, it was me hiding a lot of who I was and hiding Kim essentially from a lot of people and the closest people that I knew. It’s very special to be able to share [the] Olympic Games with your partner.
“It’s an extremely stressful, high-pressure period, so to have my person there as a comfort and safe space is of immense value to me, and also my performance. It brings a sense of calmness and normality into the [craziest] weeks of our career.”

A new BSD distribution I only learned about for the first time this weekend is smolBSD, a project built atop the netbsd-MICROVM kernel coming with NetBSD 11 for providing insanely fast booting micro-VMs intended for micro-services and similar environments...
PostmarketOS is a Linux distribution specifically designed for those who wish to repurpose old smartphones as general-use computers, to a degree. This can be a great way to reuse old hardware. However, for [Bry50], it was somewhat discomforting leaving the phone’s aging lithium battery perpetually on charge. A bit of code was thus whipped up to provide a greater measure of safety.
The concept is simple enough—lithium batteries are at lower risk of surprise combustion events if they’re held at a lower state of charge. To this end, [Bry50] modified the device tree in PostmarketOS to change the maximum charge level. Apparently, maximum charge was set at a lofty 4.4V (100%), but this was reconfigured to a lower level of 3.8V, corresponding to a roughly 40-50% state of charge. The idea is that this is a much healthier way to maintain a battery hooked up to power for long periods of time. There’s one small hitch—the system will get confused if the battery voltage is higher than the 3.8 V setpoint when switching over. It’s thus important to let the device discharge to a lower level if you choose to make this change.
It’s a neat mod that both increases safety, but keeps the battery on hand to let the system ride through minor power outages. If you’re new to the world of repurposing old smartphones, fear not. [Bryan] also has a tutorial on getting started with PostmarketOS for the unfamiliar. If you’re working on your own projects in this space, we’d love to hear about them—so get on over to the tipsline!

Game Description
Millennium Dream is a solo-developed walking and photography simulator built around the core aesthetic of “Chinese Dreamcore.” You will submerge yourself in meticulously crafted dreams of days gone by…
Take a nap in your bed on a lazy, sun-drenched afternoon; wander through the pedestrian street with its faint, damp scent – the one you used to walk with your mother after school; or return to an empty campus, the place where you once “battled” day and night.
There are no cliched jump scares or task lists here – only those fragments of old times that were once mundane but are now nowhere to be found.
Game Features
Distinctive Levels – Immerse yourself in scenes of “Chinese Dreamcore” aesthetics, wandering alone through places both familiar and alien. In these structures and spaces stripped of crowds, experience a unique sensation: quiet, nostalgic, yet slightly unsettling. Everything here is incredibly familiar, like returning to your childhood home. Yet, at the same time, it feels so foreign…
Hyper-realistic Dynamic Weather – An afternoon buzzing with cicadas is instantly blanketed by heavy snow; a twilight of pouring rain turns into a misty morning in the blink of an eye. Every scene has a thousand faces. You can freely control the cycles of rain, snow, dawn, and dusk to find the moment that best resonates with your current state of mind.
Capture Moments of the Past – Will you use the grainy filter of an old mobile phone to recapture the unique, raw textures of the millennium? Or use high-contrast black-and-white film to capture the purest interplay of light and shadow? The camera in your hand is the perfect bridge to document your connection with this dream.
Nostalgic Items – Set the alarm on the puppy clock once more, or wind up that tin frog with the loose spring. As you rotate and inspect these items, the traces of time etched upon them may just open a door to the past.
