View of the mediteranean sea from a cliff. There's a small beach attached to a small island. The view is quite top down but we can still see the horizon in the upper part of the image. There's a big green bush in the foreground. Photo is taken early in the morning and the general light has orange tones.

How many luggage lockers do you need, per neighborhood, in a touristic city like #Barcelona?
Screenshot of Google maps showing part of the city center of Barcelona. It shows the results searching "luggage lockers". There's about 20 red dots on the map, with the majority concentrated in a particular zone.

Pedestrian street. Tall beige buildings on each side. People walking. One person on a bike. There's sunlight dropping on bright green bushes and tree leaves in the middle of the street.

Kids thought lunch was funny today. Not sure why.
White plate with 2 eggs, sunny side up. The white looks like the face. The 2 yellow are the eyes. Green peas all around. The plate looks like a monster smiling.

Photo of a blue rectangular parking sign for bicycles on a pole. There is a sticker on sign. The white "P" of the parking sign is used with the white text on the sticker to spell "Palestina lliure". Which is catalan for "Free Palestine". The sticker has also a Palestinian flag on it.

Billionaire #SocialMedia platform owner (Pavel Durov) directly sends a message to all #Telegram users in #Spain criticizing Pedro Sanchez government.
El gobierno de Pedro Sánchez está impulsando nuevas regulaciones peligrosas que amenazan vuestras libertades en internet. Anunciadas ayer mismo, estas medidas podrían convertir a España en un Estado de vigilancia bajo el pretexto de "protección". Aquí os explico por qué son una señal de alarma roja para la libertad de expresión y la privacidad:

1. Prohibición de redes sociales para menores de 16 años con verificación de edad obligatoria: No se trata sólo de los niños- requiere que las plataformas usen controles estrictos, como exigir DNI o biometría.

A Peligro: Establece un precedente para rastrear la identidad de CADA usuario, erosionando el anonimato y abriendo puertas a la recopilación masiva de datos.Peligro: Establece un precedente para rastrear la identidad de CADA usuario, erosionando el anonimato y abriendo puertas a la recopilación masiva de datos. Lo que empieza con los menores podría extenderse a todos, sofocando el debate abierto.

2. Responsabilidad personal y penal para los ejecutivos de plataformas: Si no se elimina rápidamente contenido "ilegal, odioso o perjudicial", sus responsables podrían ir a la cárcel.

Peligro: Esto forzará la sobrecensura-las plataformas borrarán cualquier cosa mínimamente controvertida para evitar riesgos, silenciando disidencias políticas, periodismo y opiniones cotidianas. Tu voz podría ser la siguiente si desafía el statu quo.3. Criminalización de la amplificación algorítmica: Amplificar contenido "perjudicial" a través de algoritmos se convierte en delito.

A Peligro: Los gobiernos dictarán lo que ves, enterrando opiniones opuestas y creando cámaras de eco controladas por el estado. ¿Exploración libre de ideas? Desaparecida-reemplazada por propaganda curada.

4. Seguimiento de la "huella de odio y polarización": Las plataformas deben monitorear y reportar cómo "alimentan la división".

A Peligro: Definiciones vagas de "odio" podrían etiquetar críticas al gobierno como divisorias, llevando a cierres o multas. Esto puede ser una herramienta para suprimir a la oposición4.

A Peligro: Definiciones vagas de "odio" podrían etiquetar críticas al gobierno como divisorias, llevando a cierres o multas. Esto puede ser una herramienta para suprimir a la oposición.

Estas no son salvaguardas; son pasos hacia el control total. Hemos visto este guion antes-gobiernos armamentizando la "seguridad" para censurar a sus críticos. En Telegram, priorizamos vuestra privacidad y libertad: cifrado fuerte, sin puertas traseras y resistencia al exceso.

Manteneos vigilantes, España. Exigid transparencia y luchad por vuestros derechos. Compartid esto ampliamente-antes de que sea tarde.

Ok, a gas station that's called "Boil". Is that a prediction about our climate or what?

My year 2025 in podcasts. #AntennaPodEcho It's funny because 80.000 hours is definitely not my favorite. But I probably listened to 5 of their 3 hours long episodes and that makes it top of my list.
My prefered podcasts in 2025

1. Freakonomics Radio
2. 80.000 hours podcast
3. Darknet Diaries
4. Computer Says Maybe
