Suddenly, cutting ties with Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads and other social media is starting to make sense. Micro.blog is nice and cozy and social enough for me.

I managed to customize my home page like I have wanted for a long time. Only one single post, the latest one, and a few buttons for people to navigate around, if they so wish to do.

The pressure of having to be on the web, curating a digital presence for marketing purposes. I’m finding great pleasure on taking the opposite route, going back to my blog and taking care of my own garden, enjoying my small little world, not needing to be someone in the public space. #eng

IndieWeb Carnival: Digital Relationships – Manu

February is almost over but I’m happy to say that, with my previous post on digital excuses, I took part in this month’s IndieWeb Carnival, hosted my Manu, who is one of my favorite bloggers, as I state in my blogroll. And I’m on the list 🚀 IndieWeb Carnival: Digital Relationships – Manu the topic for the month of February is going to be “Digital relationships”. The meaning of the topic is intentionally vague but I can think of at least three ways to interpret it.

Digital excuses

February is almost over and, if I don’t speed this up, I’m not going to make it to Manuel Moreale’s IndieWeb Carnival invitation for this month. And this is in part due to the digital caos I live in. Yes, this is going to be a moaning post. Probably annoying for the people who read it and absolutely of no use for bringing any good to our collective lives, much less for adding anything nice or worthy to the IndieWeb Carnival.

Upsies by Matthias Gansrigler at Eternal Storms

🚀 ⚡️ [New Freeware App] Upsies – Upscale your images with MetalFX – Eternal Storms Software | Blog Upsies is something I wrote on a whim, just out of curiosity if it worked – using the MetalFX Spatial Upscaler to upscale photos and images. And lo and behold, it does work, and produces arguably nicer results than, say, resizing an image up with Preview.app. I love everything Matthias does.

Lesividad, retribuciones y jurisdicción competente. STS 30 enero 2024. - Del blog de Rafael Rossi

Interesantísima sentencia reseñada por Rafael Rossi. Una abogada presta servicios para el Servicio Valenciano de Salud durante 25 años, por medio de una concatenación de contratos menores. Cuando finaliza la relación de servicios, acude a la jurisdicción social que declara la relación como laboral y el despido como improcedente. A lo que reacciona la Administración declarando la lesividad de las retribuciones percibidas en los contratos menores de los últimos cuatro años, por exceder de los que hubieran correspondido a una relación laboral, e impugnando aquellas retribuciones ante la jurisdicción contencioso-administrativa.

So we came to Bordeaux for the weekend, to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and last night my son and I decided to take a couple of drinks after dinner. I don’t go out anymore, just the occasional dinner with friends. Bordeaux is full of life and wonderful bars, restaurants and terraces where you can see hundreds of people enjoy good food and drinks and the company of friends. One thing crossed my mind and it’s still nagging me this morning. I’m about to turn fifty and I fear my midlife crisis is going to be wild. The reason: everybody looked young and beautiful to me, I was just mesmerized looking at the people in the streets of Bordeaux, I felt somewhat envious and old and self-conscious of my declining age. This is gonna cost me when I turn 50, I can feel it.

Installing Pandoc on Apple Silicon with Homebrew · Nono Martínez Alonso

🚀 Installing Pandoc on Apple Silicon with Homebrew · Nono Martínez Alonso Here’s how I installed pandoc on my MacBook Pro (13–inch, M1, 2020) to run with Rosetta 2 — not natively, but on the x86_64 architecture — until a universal binary for macOS is built that supports the arm64 architecture in new Appple Silicon Macs. Thanks a lot, Nono.Ma. I needed to know which build to choose to install Pandoc on my Mac (it’s an M2 macbook pro) and I never remember the reference for the correct architecture (arm64 or x86_64).
