Bits of code, gadgets, and the odd privacy rant.
I don’t care what Elon says, it always be Twitter. www.cnet.com/news/soci…
Let’s make a resilient and adaptable interconnected network of networks, they said… It will be able to handle nuclear attacks, they said…
How not to love Flickr’s error page?! Has been this one for some time, but it still almost makes me see wanna see it more often!
…Almost.
If IKEA made laptops!
…No, I’m not doing an unboxing video, it’s a lot of boxes!

Yet again the internal memory of the Ricoh GR III saves the day, despite only having it for some weeks. Don’t know why we don’t have this from more manufacturers, doesn’t need to have super capacity, just enough for a few shoots when you forget the SD card.
The fact that I live near the airport, and the distribution centres of all carriers (including good old mail), means that I often receive packages ahead of schedule, which is a good and bad thing…
I’m still in the sign up process of Surf Social and already liking what I see!
Every once in a while I stumble upon some kind of rant regarding Adobe subscriptions prices or hidden fees. And the more I see this the more I glad I moved to darktable years ago. Yes, the UI may not be as polished and sometimes might have multiple ways to do same thing (in true open-source fashion), but I’d rather have that than feeling trapped in corporate greed. And it’s free as in free beer, but that’s really secondary.
Another YouTube video from a small creator that used to work in a much larger channel with roughly the same message: things are too big, too corporate, no creativity.
Is YouTube slowly becoming old media?…
Two days of #OutsystemsOne, plus one more of Champions Summit
The event featured exciting presentations, advancements in AI, and a clearer roadmap for Outsystems, along with valuable reconnections.
In every developer conference there’s always someone, sometimes close to the front row, with an open laptop on the lap, probably doing a patch in Production! #OutsystemsOne
About the next few days… #OutsystemsONE
My photo site (built on Hugo) was taking a lot to deploy after I added all the older content, as the pipeline was always deploying the entire site. Finally took time to look at it, and only upload the changes. I guess I got a slight improvement.
One thing that annoyed me on Obsidian app for Android, besides the app not being really thought and built for mobile from the start, was the lack of Web Clipper, I find it more useful each day. Until I discovered it installs nicely on Firefox for Android.
I’ve lost track the amount of times I’m going to open the app formerly known as Twitter and end up opening Fujifilm’s app. At least I use Twitter less and less often.
Having a Linux desktop with a Nvidia graphics card means each distribution upgrade can be a bit of gamble…
I was watching a video of new a camera (the new Hassie l, but that’s irrelevant) and mentioned something almost as a complain: these new models bring less and less new features. Well, that’s where we are right now, with the current release cycles, more of these incremental changes.
Sad news, Nova Launcher is no more… I really liked it, was the perfect mix of clean, configurable and smooth, often when trying launchers I’d start feeling it was getting it was getting to much in my way. Nova didn’t do that. I’ll probably go back to the stock launcher.
…and it would be fun to have the open source version of it.
I saw a red pandas short video on YouTube a week ago, now all the algorithm gives me is just that….
A significant part of my Monday morning is spent running again the authentication flows of all my clients' email accounts, because each sets up one for me, which is even more time consuming now because each has their own multi-factor authentication setup in a different way.
