tl;dr
A thumbs-up emoji appears each time you type a colon : in Google
Docs, in french.

I have just noticed that it is now possible to easily insert emojis
in Google Docs!
Good news?
Not for french writers!

This feature already exists in Outlook on the Web: when you type a
colon :, a list of emojis appears, and you select the one you want.
Not a bother in english, where the diacritics are different. In
english, there's no space before the colon character. When you want
to write a list of things for example, you type :, then press Enter.

However, it is different in french. There's a space before the colon
character. The emoji feature detects that sequence of characters, and
considers you want to add an emoji.

It means that each and every time you type a colon in french, a list
of emoji appears. You have to press Escape key to be able to press
Enter and keep writing. If you don't press Escape, a  emoji will
appear each time.

This is well illustrated with the following recording:
example-exemple

I ignored this feature with Outlook. I might use Outlook on the Web
like once a week to write an email.

But I spend my days on Google Docs, to write documents that are pages
and pages long, and this is going to be a nightmare.

PS: I know our friends at Google are already aware of the problem

deux-points : dans Google Docs, en francais. Je viens de remarquer
qu'il est desormais possible d'inserer facilement des emojis dans
Google Docs ! Bonne nouvelle ? Pas pour les redacteurs francais !
Cette fonctionnalite existe deja dans Outlook sur le Web

Quand last month n'est pas last month

Quand last month n'est pas last month

Lorsque vous tapez dans le Bash de Linux : date +%Y%m -d '1 months
ago', vous supposez que vous obtiendrez l'annee et le mois du mois
dernier. Eh bien, pour une raison qu'il me reste a decouvrir
(probablement tres logique), ce n'est pas le cas pour la date
d'aujourd'hui : $ date

When last month is not last month

When last month is not last month

When you type in Linux Bash: date +%Y%m -d '1 months ago', you assume
you'll get the year and month of last month. Well, for a reason that
I've got yet to discover (probably very logical), not the case for
today's date: $ date lundi 31 octobre 2022, 00:11:
