I profoundly admire “content creators” who create in English when it’s not their first or native language. It takes a courage native English speakers are completely oblivious to.

The genre of nearby conversation I dislike the most is the fake enthusiastic type of random strangers who just happen to be sharing a few days together at an also random city. #AbolishTourism

Love is that thing even ugly people have a right to and get to do. So stop thinking it’s special in your case.

It should be mandatory for Instagram vacation pictures to show temperature at site taken. It would immediately alleviate any and all desire to have that lifestyle on my part.

Is needing to speak with someone all the time a sign of… loneliness, middle age, lack of kids, excess of time, no motivation, depression, non-existing social life, the conversion to WhatsApp of all social bonds, having 80% of my friends & family in a different time zone, all of the above?

The meme that speaks to me the most is the one where a random person looks out at a landscape, takes in its incredible beauty and, knowing profoundly that he’s not able to enjoy it, says, “Fuck I wish I was happy”.

At a new job, at a new role… what was it that drew people toward me? I’ve had people come to me (I was never an influential figure by no means) and speak with me, advise me, provide certain inside info as if we’d been work buddies forever and we were both planning promos… The sheer fakeness! But that aside, what drew them to me? I have no idea. People who were quick to…

The time I’ve spent deciding on a platform to write on, a template, a font, a username… versus the time spent writing. And yet, I’m still not super happy with my choices. Micro.blog is meh ok. Ghost is expensive. Wordpress is clunky.

Using the phone in the bathroom, a few drops of water fell onto my phone screen… immediate iOS 26 effect.

There’s something to be said about wanting to live where all the people you love are bound to die. Is that what “home” is? Human beings should never have learned to travel so fast. It should take decades to cross a continent, not hours.

That being said, there is no lonelier feeling than posting from bed next to your partner who’s reading next to you, with her back turned towards you. Not angry just… mediocre life existence.

I have never gotten a single reply. I have no idea why I post. Maybe to feel less lonely. But the non-reply factor doesn’t really help.

It’s difficult to live abroad. It never makes sense. Unless you start a family. It’s difficult to start a family. It never makes sense. Unless you live abroad.

Everyone I know is getting pregnant, moving to a new city, celebrating milestones. Meanwhile, I continue to accumulate toxic relationships where I don’t learn anything and continue to live in cities far away from everyone I love. I’ll probably die childless cause I’ve never even thought if this is something I want. My expectations of life are still grand, but in a way as if I’m someone who will…

I found the 10 minute summary of WWDC too long and boring. At 2x!

I have no idea how micro.blog works, but it works. And it costs USD 1 a month. It cross-posts, it allows long form. Wish it didn’t include all my “tweets” in what is my “blog” but I guess that distinction doesn’t exist anymore.

Imagine LinkedIn but truthful and real. Then again, imagine anything… but truthful and real.

The only thing I like about all the AI coverage is that I sometimes misread AL instead of AI. You know, as in Paul Simon’s “You can call me Al”. It makes for an occasional funny headline.

I still can’t believe how good Reeder is. I love it more and more. The only thing I’m not using it for is podcasts. But I’ve started looking at YouTube videos on it!

With the Google money running out, Mozilla should consider killing Firefox rather than killing Pocket.
Let's go back to hardware
Let’s go back to hardware. By “hardware” I mean Sony-walkman style physical buttons UIs. By hardware I don’t mean datacenters, “smart” phones, full-screen UIs. Why go back to hardware? Because of many things: One To be human in the 21st century with so much information at our fingertips is incredible. But we continue to rely primarily on two fingertips: the late…
What do you call it?
Years ago, I was hanging out with a few bandmates, including an acquaintance I was progressively becoming friends with. He was (is) a very charismatic and high intensity high energy individual. At one point, between rehearsing or recording, I don’t remember what we were doing, he put on a YouTube video of Ricardo Iorio, an Argentinian metal legend whose ideas and politics are all over the…

To Kobo ereader owners: what is the deal with images in epubs? I can’t click on them to make them bigger (and actually read them). I can’t really stretch to zoom. How do you interact with images? Am I doing sth wrong or is it the not so great Kobo software?

Nothing has demystified and shattered more my preconceived notions of what CEOs are like than… actually interacting with those CEOs. In such a vast number of cases, they are truly just non self-aware psychopaths that stumbled onto success.
