Life sure is crazy. I never would have thought that I would be doing so many different things for work, talking to so many int cool people from diverse backgrounds, and I can't believe I have nice bosses and coworkers too! Travelling this much sucks (a trip every week +-), but it should calm […]

Got my first "reply followed by a ban to end a conversation". For a super mild observation 😅 if we aren't even open to a distinct opinion from people on our side of the moral/political spectrum, we really have no hope. Just set your account to private or close replies if you don't want to […]

[Political rant] Bolsonaro won the first round. And the story is the same, centrist and left parties losing ground mostly to apathy. With the snap election called for the 29th of November here in Spain, I am not optimistic about the future.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing maya ongaku perform live here in #Vigo. If you don't know this hypnotic Japanese trio, I recommend spending some time with their music in a pleasant location :miomusic: tidal.com/track/379768502/u

Cover of the album Approach to Anima by maya ongaku, signed by the three band members

I'm still thinking about my latest trip to the US (east coast), two weeks ago. Everything was extortionate, yet the quality was so cheap. The amount of contract workers in every sort of business, that translated into not knowing or not caring. I was surprised that in such a big city as NY […]

Quizás algunos recordéis la araña culona de la traducción al español de "Proyecto Hail Mary" ("fat ass spider" en el original, o sea, araña enorme). Pues bien, me he topado con una traducción aún peor. 1/? #TraduttoreTraditore #libros #llm #slop #noai

I have to use #Microsoft Teams. Every time I look at that application I am reminded that only such a big company, with so much money and market share, could get away with the ugliest UI and even worse UX.

"Love" that the (mostly American, business) mouthpieces are taking the heatwave in Europe as the perfect opportunity to sell more #airconditioning. It's being echoed everywhere, without thought. On top of that, in a cheap advertising psychology move, not already having it installed is portrayed […]

Unfortunately the company booked me a #Ryanair flight. The airline is still finding new ways to be shitty, it seems: they demand you download their app to access the boarding pass. Can't have it in my digital wallet or paper, for *reasons*. I don't want my data mined by those grubby hands, this […]
