I sadly have to take those words back. Not the best wishes or the appreciation towards PV and his work, of course, but the comment about us slackers being less grumpy than other computer users.

Ever since I moved from lilo to GRUB (I know it's not related, but it all started at that point), Slackware -current has become increasingly unstable for me, and several updates have gone wrong, some of them terribly so.

The one thing that pisses me off about qoto's migration is that it is now hosted on AWS. I have everything (well, that's probably not true. Let's just say a lot of) Amazon blocked in my firewall.

I was happier when qoto was hosted on OVH, or wherever it was, but what am I going to do? I am a guest here. I shouldn't even complain.

Today I could test chatgpt for the first time and I must say I am not the slightest bit impressed. I had hoped it would be more human-like in its conversation, but its answers are mostly boilerplate and legalese.

I thought at least it would be fun to use it to help me learn stuff (like Math or practicing foreign languages), but apparently getting it to do something like that would be a full-time job _for me_.

Sé que por aquí no hay mucha gente de #soria pero también sirve por si hay alguien que dé clases de alemán y que quiera cambiar de vida y mudarse a Soria.

En la Escuela oficial de Idiomas buscan "desesperadamente" alguien para trabajar a jornada completa dando clases de alemán.

Charles Dickens ya se mofó de la cultura woke (escribió una 'Cenicienta' políticamente correcta)

El escritor se quejó de los intentos por modificar los cuentos infantiles en un artículo de 1853, recogido en una recopilación de sus escritos periodísticos que ahora publica Gatopardo bajo el título 'Pasiones públicas, emociones privadas'

En Alemania creen que mirar para otro lado con el genocidio palestino es haber aprendido una lección. No se dan cuenta de que, en realidad, es REINCIDIR.
