Only one thing bothers me more than people vibeslopping something and saying “I built …”, and it’s people listening to audiobooks and saying “I read …”. You can lie to yourselves but you can’t lie to me, you pricks.

Today, in the Chronicles of Living in a Small Village, a very old neighbor stopped me to ask me if I wanted zucchini. After realizing that he was not hitting on me, he brought me two from his farm because he has too many. They weight 1,5 kg. Each.

To change your Vueling account email you have to phone them. At this point in my life, I consider to just delete the account and never fly with them. It's the equivalent of going somewhere and going back home because there's no parking close by.

Finally arrived the paperback version of @russolsen.bsky.social's Eloquent Ruby (Second Edition) 🎉 It's time to find out what is this ruby thing I see everywhere at work. This last months I was about to pull the trigger on the digital version but I'm a romantic and really wanted it on paper.

Every time I see someone opening a new hole in a gadget or device (a Steam Deck, a mini PC, etc) for the sake of improving thermals I cringe. Most of these devices have been designed by people who knows better than we do about air flows and everything related. Stop ruining it.

I ended up cancelling my Pebble pre-order. All these broken glasses because of that design flaw are bothering me a lot. But not as much as the company going silent about it. I really, REALLY wanted it. Every single year I searched "pebble alternative [current year]".

Our kid was born on Thursday and tonight is the first night on our own after being released from the hospital. Not gonna lie, I’m fucking terrified 😅 This little fucker is making me age 10 years in three days.

I don’t know in other countries, but in Spain the two main political parties are always bashing each other. When A is in power, B enjoys when something goes wrong and any crisis is their fault. Fire, floods, health, etc. I wonder how it would be if they would show the maturity of working together.

My grandfather (right) passed away in 2017. His best friend Andre (left) was in the funeral and played one of their songs with the guitar. It was impressive how he managed to do it, six decades after this picture was taken. It was raw and sad and beautiful. Today’s was Andre’s funeral. […]
