european alternatives
Big Tech bad. We probably agree that much since we are here in Bear. Big Tech US-based (at least mostly). US not privacy friendly. US ran by absolutely insane unit of a person. Need to run from US. Change tech to EU-based alternatives. Because EU has GDPR. EU privacy friendly. EU friendlier in general. They are on Mastodon too! If you believe that EU-based technology is fundamentally "good" you…
talking to strangers
This piece by Markham Heid reached Hacker News , so it reached me. I gave it a go since is a topic that I have already thought of several times. I listen to music . Used to do it even more, a freaking lot, like most of the day, both awake and asleep. That includes having headphones with me while walking, on the bus, train, etc. Even when I was at school I always had my headphones hanging from the…
I'm no audio enthusiast
EDIT: What if... mbrserver.com I am no audio enthusiast. I love listening to music, I have around 2.7K songs in my Navidrome library (out of Spotify, yay!), and just recently I started getting part of it from Bandcamp. I bought every album containing at least one song already in my library, given that the album costed $5 max. I spent around $120. Concerts are nice. I haven't been in a lot, maybe…
I am my own never ending non-paid work machine
This post is a reach for help. Not a desperate one, I'm good (thanks for worrying though). But I could use a hand, not gonna lie. I have two questions, but I kindly ask you to read a bit to find them! Thanks. I work full time, and I am also a full time uni student. Life got messy back in the day and here we are. Where I study, every single week I have to do an exam/project. The good part is that I…
end LinkedIn or end me
I just logged into LinkedIn (yeah I feel sorry for myself too). Not even a minute into it, I see a post from a HHRR lady with a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation. It's with a guy who was supposed to start his new position that same day, but doesn't show up, and 3-4h later says something like: Hello, today was my first day, but I couldn't assist because of a personal issue I had this weekend,…
trees I like
At some point, I had the task of helping demolish and re-construct a whole house, where I would at least partially live. It wasn't in the middle of nowhere, but I can assure that it wasn't The Big Apple. In fact, what I want to talk about is pears. Kind of. The house had (still has) a big terrain, and around 50% of it had trees. I am fond of four of them: a Pyrus communis (pear), several Prunus…
today I tried
Today I really tried. Not all the time. But when I less wanted, I did. When it was the hardest, I tried. I hope this motivates tomorrow's me to try. I hope it encourages you to try. Feel free to reach me publicy in the guestbook or privately via email . Warning: I will eagerly answer!
end email verification codes or end me
EDIT: I wrote this because I wanted to log in to track a package. My 2FA code expired. Life can be like that. Hello fellow BearBloggers (BBs? Babies? someone stop me I am going insane). Didn't post in a while and I had something planned but life always gives us the best little surprises. I am here to scream. What the fuck is wrong with online logins? Just to begin with, I need an account for…
first contribution to OpenStreetMap!
Remember how I ended my last post? . Let me show you: I want to get out and check this little bubbles so bad. This will be even better than playing Pokemon Go in 2016. Feels good to think that I might be helping someone and I get to have an excuse for having a walk. I'm definitely going to do this. The next minute I got fed up, told everyone at work that I had to go, and simply did so. I signed up…
