La vergüenza del #decretoley, que siempre fue una vergüenza, es una vergüenza aberrante y miserable con este #gobierno:

Challenge accepted.
1. Trick question; don't engage. He's asking you to do something without #crypto _but also without banks and without cards_. He could as well ask you to do it without using the letter “m” in your keyboard. If the point is “crypto is how poor, unbanked people can take their wealth with them”, then someone with $25K and on an international flight is most definitely not poor and not unbankable.
1. Done. With Wise. Quick, easy and with reasonable fees. And there are others. What was the point?
1. Good one. I don't know how to do that, with or without crypto. I'm curious to see how it's done with crypto (not how it _would_ be done, but how it's _been_ done).
1. Again, trick question: why on Twitter? He could ask you to do it on IRC as well. Setting that aside: Kickstarter, GoFundMe, Indiegogo, etc.
1. This must be a trick question too, because it's too easy. DigitalOcean Spaces, DreamObjects, GCS, Azure, Wasabi, IBM, BitTorrent, IPFS, home server.
Digital life #tip:
I open #Twitter regularly, just to check mentions and DMs (yes, I could enable web/mail notifs instead, but I don't like them; that's another story). Too often I get distracted by the “trends” sidebar (#clickbait, news, gossip, photos) and I end up clicking and skimming some shitty article.
In config, I set my location to “จ.เชียงราย, ประเทศไทย” (that's somewhere in Thailand) and unchecked personalisation (“trends for you”). And now the list of what's trending looks much better for me.
#Microsoft, #Skype: this is very stupid.
What comes before the `@` in my email address is… a single character. You're banning a letter of the alphabet for me.
You're preventing me from using a very robust, completely new password — so now I have to make some contortions (and most importantly, _remember_ those contortions) to adapt my usual password strategy to this silly requirement.

Volume III of #Proust's “In Search Of Lost Time” feels like lost time indeed. I'm barely one fifth through it and I can't see the end. It feels like I've been plunged into it for a very long year. Directions of use for some medicines are more thrilling than this.
…so far.
Los practicantes del #AltruismoEficaz llegamos a donde estamos partiendo de intuiciones muy básicas, casi universales, y siguiendo unos pocos argumentos lógicos bastante simples.
Si te suena lo de «altruismo eficaz» pero no lo tienes muy claro, o si no lo habías oído en tu vida, **Pablo Melchor** de la _Fundación Ayuda Efectiva_ lo resume todo muy bien [en este artículo](https://www.sumapositiva.com/p/donar).
Living long isn't everything (you also want to prosper — wink ), but it's quite important. This is how you do it:
* Look after family relationships and social connections
* Take care of plants…
* …and eat mostly plants, lots of legumes, whole grains, soy
* No tobacco, no alcohol
* Constant moderate exercise
* Be outside in the sun
* Live where women aren't discriminated
* Live somewhere remote
* Have a religion (oops)
Physicists, help me understand this:
If they're referring to _power_, the unit should be _KW_, right?
And if they're referring to _energy_ consumed (in some interval of time), then it should be _KW⋅h_ (not _KW/h_). Right?
(And if so: the quantity is meaningless unless you specify _the interval of time_. eg: _“400 KW·h on an average day”_. No? I mean, my smartphone also consumes 400 KW·h… if I use it for long enough!)
OK, I'm fed up with #Pixelfed @pixelfed. I think I'm done with it once this year's #dailyphoto is over.
Last night I [bumped again](https://qoto.org/@tripu/106091353468149241) into the issue of collections being limited to 18 posts. So I created [a new collection](https://pixelfed.de/c/422147543041479526) with the idea of splitting my 30 photos of April between [the old](https://pixelfed.de/c/415513620799474040) and the new collection (15 + 15).
Issue: because of the new UI, posts have two valid URLs now; eg `/i/web/post/<POST>` and `/p/<USER>/<POST>?fs=1`. When I tried to add a few photos to the _new_ collection by pasting their URLs, it didn't work. Until I realised I had to use _the other_ URL.
Issue: when I tried to remove the last 3 photos from the _old_ collection, the “edit” pop-up didn't even show me those. Until I realised the pop-up takes its data from the page itself (not from an API call), and because of the infinite scroll on the page, unless you have scrolled down _before_ trying to edit the collection, you won't be able to edit but the first bunch of items.
Issue: once I understood that (and I scroll until the end, then click to edit, then select the last 3 photos), the dialog box says _“Select a Photo to Delete”_, the button is labelled _“Delete 3 photos”_, and if you dare to click it, a confirmation pop-up says _“Are you sure you want to delete this?”_. NO, I'M NOT SURE. Are you going to _remove these photos from the collection_, or _delete them_??
I've been taking **one photo every day of April**, and sharing it online, [since 2008](https://www.flickr.com/photos/tripu/collections/72157616151140465/). Most years, a bunch of friends and virtual acquaintances followed suit, and we had good fun.
Today I started a new batch — here:
