Signal’s “Note to Self”.

The way he reconstructed the lady (Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos) face reminds me of Whitehouse “Why You Never Became A Dancer”.

Few decades ago Marvin the Paranoid Android (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) has already been constructed by my human-like parents and is reporting this utmost depressive fact here.

While I find the tax completely fair, I’m affraid it boils down to the upcoming elections. This is one of many socialistic and populistic acts announced recently by the Polish government.

SublimeText + SublimeMerge (for git). My perfect pair, I’m using for years. I’ve tried Emacs, vim, Neovim, helix and I always return to ST/SM with a sigh of relief.

Pocketbook Lux 5. Great piece of gear, with physical buttons and normal, non-touch screen. Also, comes from a small European company, instead of Amazon.
I manage my collection of ebooks using Calibre - great software.

I’m just finishing “The Zombie Survival Guide” by Max Brooks. It is a satirical survival manual - great fun and lots of highly practical hints.

The movie Men Behind the Sun depicts the war atrocities committed in the Unit 731.

It’s not creepy. It’s cruel.

I’ve just started, it’s to early to decide whether I like and recommend it.

I hope they follow the data. And that more countries, at least in the EU, will follow.

Good news. I really like my FP3+ (with /e/OS), my next phone will be either FP4 or FP5 :)

His Interview with an Emacs Enthusiast in 2023 is the best Emacs review ever :)

This. I’m totally for FOSS, but among four commercial apps that I use (SublimeText, SublimeMerge, Reaper and Bitwig), all four use this older model. You buy a period of free upgrades, but you may keep using the current version as long, as you wish. I see this model as beneficial for user and the company (providing them with money), but also encouraging it economically to continue developing the product. In the case of subscription-based model, I see little reason for the company to improve the product.

It’s high time. Still too few and too late, though.

I love the bike – it’s massively upgraded Marin Muirwoods. Best adventure bike I have ever had.

Religions. All of them.
