Comprar LA ATALAYA RECORTADA CONTRA EL CIELO (editorial Libros del Futuro)

Sinopsis:

Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

‼️OJO A ESTO: Francia le quita el estatuto de medio online a un esparcidor de bulos: no podrá optar a subvenciones, ni ventajas fiscales (y supongo que tampoco a publi institucional).

@ewenmcneill Possibly worth noting that the versions of grub revoked by this are known insecure

I've just witnessed a completely civil and righteous rage against the machine by an elderly man (80s+) at supermarket self-service checkout here in small city Aotearoa #NewZealand and it was a little bit wonderful.

He'd just finished paying for his groceries when the machine started saying "Please take your items" every 15 seconds or so. At first he just says "I'll do it in my own time thank you," while bagging things up.

The machine keeps telling him to take his items. After around the 5th time, he starts really arguing back:
"I don't have to do what you tell me to do."
"I'll take as long as I need thank you."
"I'll thank you to stop harassing me."

On around the seventh or eighth request that he take his items, he stands back, crosses his arms and says loudly snaps, "No! Not until you be quiet!"

The machine keeps going. The man just stands there, crossed arms, chin stuck out. A standoff is on. Staff come over and ask if they can help and he tells them that if they switch the voice off, he will continue bagging his things and go. If they don't, he's retired and can wait all day.

Machine is turned off/down with sympathy from supermarket staff. Moments later the man leaves the supermarket with the air of someone who's just won a war, expression completely stoic.

When you use Twitter, you ride with Elon and Trump

Image that says "When you use Twitter, you ride with Elon! Get off that awful garbage fire site today!" It's in the style of the 1940s US government poster "When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler" and has a picture of a person driving their car alone next to an outline of Elon Musk dressed up like Hitler.

Para quien no haya entendido mi post sobre nacionalismos, aquí dejo una explicación más gráfica.

Alt...

Una guía para principiantes sobre nacionalismos. Un burgués rico, abrazando un cofre lleno de oro en su castillo, dice «Mirad todas las cosas bonitas que tenemos». Unos campesinos, fuera de los lujos del castillo, le responden «Nosotros no tenemos nada, lo tienes todo tú». El burgués traza una línea en la tierra con un palo, formando un círculo, dejando su castillo y a los campesinos dentro del círculo. Pone un cartelito al lado del círculo dibujado en la tierra «Frontera del país». El burgués rico, abrazando un cofre lleno de oro en su castillo, dice «Mirad todas las cosas bonitas que tenemos». Los campesinos, dentro de la frontera, pero fuera del castillo, responden «Vamooosss, somos los mejores, estoy orgulloso de mi país, oleee».

The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.

Es que de hecho ocurre que es una balanza presupuestaria muy clara: si el estado se endeuda, las familias no lo hacen; si el estado no se endeuda, lo tienen que hacer las familias. Vivimos en un sistema económico impulsado por el crédito, lo queramos o no; y la relación entre los estados y las familias en cuanto a la deuda es casi de vaso comunicante.

@stefano Several years ago I encountered something similar. Got a notification from the security company that their internal scans had identified an insecure version of OpenSSH on the network. After a bit of poking, my team identified the host in question. It was the security company's OWN APPLIANCE.

We promptly turned the device off and stopped paying them.

Trump to the press: I will crush you like the bugs you are.

Journalists: Haha there goes Trump again.

Biden: I'm incredibly disappointed in your coverage:

Journalists: How dare you? Resign immediately, you ungrateful pathetic SOB.

@sadrarin por alguna razón los costos del software libre son siempre inasumibles, mientras que las pérdidas generadas por depender de una única empresa con clara posición dominante en el mercado son inevitables, como la lluvia 🤔🙄

Okay. Big move for me.

I have started serialising my novel, There Will Be No Violins.

I do now!

In case you're using Firefox on mobile - so myself and like four others - disabling Firefox' new Facebook data collection feature is quite a bit harder than on desktop, but it can be done:

1. Go to chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml
2. Use the search field to find the entry for aboutConfig and enable it
3. Go to about:config
4. Search for dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled and set it to false

Done. This only works on Android, because Firefox on iOS is just a Safari skin.

Hey for no particular reason let’s all read up on this, kay?

I'm really really really not interested in computers getting more powerful.
I am super interested in them being more repairable and modifiable, drawing less power, lasting and being supported for way longer etc. That stuff still gets me excited

Echas una mano a alguien a que tenga presencia en Internet (por poner un ejemplo real), con buena disposición, amplia disponibilidad y coste cero por aquello de la "amistad" y de que eres un magnífico profesional cuya carrera hacia la indigencia es inexplicable y bla, bla, bla ...

Y resulta que cuando le dices que tiene un precio mínimo, chiquitito, lo que se ha llamado de siempre precio de coste y voy a la ruina (pero de verdad porque nunca acierto con el cálculo), justo en ese momento, VayaPorDios, ya no tiene tanto interés. Y por supuesto, está en otro sitio a una décima parte de lo que tú le dices.

A partir de ahí supongo que cada cual tendrá una historia diferente donde habrá de todo. Yo hasta ahora podía ignorarlas pero ahora, que necesito de verdad el dinero, va a doler más saber que a) no eres tan bueno, b) no es tan importante y c) no necesitaban tanto.

El guardián entre el centeno solo es un peñazo si lo ves desde un punto de vista capacitista y neurotípico.

"Paul Dirac's remarks on God and religion (1927)

If we are honest — and scientists have to be — we must admit that religion is a jumble of false assertions, with no basis in reality. The very idea of God is a product of the human imagination. It is quite understandable why primitive people, who were so much more exposed to the overpowering forces of nature than we are today, should have personified these forces in fear and trembling. But nowadays, when we . . . "
