Me estoy planteando empezar a tirar los plásticos a la basura ordinaria.

Todos, excepto los que de verdad se reciclan, según este estudio y todo lo que ya sabía sobre el asunto:

https://climateintegrity.org/uploads/media/Fraud-of-Plastic-Recycling-2024.pdf

¿Mi objetivo? Dejar de usar el cubo de reciclaje como un confesionario donde recibir la absolución por mis "pecados" ambientales.

No, no me fustigo.

Pero engañarse tampoco nos está llevando a ningún lado.

A lo mejor, si dejamos de participar en la pantomima del falso reciclaje del plástico doméstico, nos concienciamos y usamos menos.

Y, sobre todo, impulsamos políticas para limitar drásticamente el uso de envases no reciclables.

Porque lo de ahora solo es una farsa. En fin. Vaya siglo.

Its beyond satire really...

The UN has just appointed (by acclamation - there were no other candidates put forward) the Ambassador from Saudi Arabia to he'd up the UN Commission that is supposed to promote women's rights across the world & empower women politically....

Given the grudging, uneven & slow progress on such empowerment in his own state, the notion that this can possibly be a positive more for global women is beyond belief.

@ximo Soy un gran admirador de Paco Roca, no hay comic suyo que no me haga sentir un poco así, por eso siento cierta devoción por su obra. 😅

hace unas semanas hubo por redes una discusión sobre que Wikipedia es uno de los pocos bastiones de contenido no generado por LLMs y revisado/editado escrupulosamente por humanos (aunque a veces los editores humanos sean deficientes, que también ocurre) y lo mejor que podemos hacer para preservarla es convertirnos en editores nosotros mismos.

aquí hay una muy buena guía para empezar a editar la Wikipedia, video y texto, en inglés:

Joaquín Reyes sobre el "ya no se puede decir nada" y la "cultura de la cancelación"

Pixelfed was my first real open source project, I didn’t know what I was doing or getting myself into

I was working in the automotive industry at the time, I dreamed of doing web dev full time, and because of Pixelfed I was able to get a full time job which I still have today, and y’all helped make that possible!

I’m forever grateful to the #fediverse for helping me grow to become the developer I’ve always aspired to be!

I promise I’ll make it up to you 🚀

Ah. Recomiendo este blog. Es sobre cuestiones políticas y actualidad desde el punto de vista de un jurista izquierdoso. Un tío muy majo y coherente. https://asihablociceron.blogspot.com

The problem with Test-Driven Development is that you have to think about what you want the code to do before you write it. And that ruins the surprise.

Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”

VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

Dear New York Times et al,

He was never a successful businessman.

1. He inherited 400 million dollars and turned that into zero dollars.
2. He went bankrupt 7 times.
3. Some of those bankruptcies were casinos, literally a licence to print money which he couldn't manage.
4. He conned kids with cancer out of money once. That's why he can't run a charity anymore.
5. The following business ventures no longer exist or are insolvent:
a. Trump Steaks
b. Trump University
c. Trump Mortgage
d. Trump Vodka
e. Trump: The Game
f. Trump Ice
g. GoTrump.com
h. Trump Magazine
i. The New Jersey Generals
j. Trump Airlines
k. Trump Entertainment Resorts (filed for bankruptcy FOUR TIMES)
l. Trump Tower Tampa
m. Trump Taj Mahal
n. The Trump Plaza
o. Trump Castle
p. Plaza Hotel
q. Trump Media and Technology Group
r. Truth Social
s. Trump Shuttle, Inc
t. Trump Fire
u. Trump Power
v. Trump's American Pale Ale
w. Trump Marina
x. Trump Casino, Indiana
y. Trump Style
z. Trump World Magazine
aa. Trumpnet, LLC
ab. Trump Entrepreneur Initiative

6. Of the 16 companies that were manufacturing Trump-branded products in 2015, only 2 remain in business less than 10 years later. Neither of those companies are American. One is located in Panama and the other is located in Turkey.

Stop saying "successful businessman". My little company founded in 2014 has been in business longer, employs more people, and makes more income than 99% of his ventures. The difference between him and me is access to capital, which means he gets unlimited bites at the apple, and I get just this one if I'm lucky.

Para toda la gente que os gusta tejer, he encontrado unos patrones de calcetines del #StardeValley os lo dejo por si alguna persona mañosa (ojalá ser yo, pero no) quiere probar.

Whenever some online customer support chat comes up, I start asking it programming questions about python to see if it's just AI. Someday I'll reach a real person at Bank of America who knows python and we'll both be very confused.

Estimados/as/es podcasters:
-Las miniaturas generadas por IA no aportan nada a vuestro contenido.
-Las miniaturas generadas por IA son feas de cojones, sinceramente. Y muy cutres.
-Las ilustraciones generadas por IA se construyen sobre el robo a los/as/es artistas por parte de los cerdos capitalistas.
-Preferimos un dibujo hecho por tu sobrino pequeño a una puta imagen generada por IA. Preferimos una foto del mantel de tu abuela, preferimos un garabato en una servilleta, preferimos una mancha de café. Preferimos, en fin, ninguna imagen a una puta imagen generada por IA.
-Nos gustan los podcast.

Thought for the day:

Billionaires are a symptom of poverty.

(Paraphrasing Iain Banks on money, but more specific to our times because we still need some way to allocate scarce resources, just: not like that.)

A couple of weeks ago, the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU) asked us to write a guest article about our experience with #Mastodon / the #Fediverse, explain the basics, and point out the advantages.

Challenge accepted. 👍

So here's the finished post by @lxplm, hot off the #blog press. ⌨️

The fact that there’s a Highway To Hell but only a Stairway To Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers.

Tidy guy strikes again! I should have included {tidyHeatmap} in my poll a few weeks back. It may be the package that finally makes me split with {pheatmap}.
