That's a good idea, thanks!
The problem is, I tend to use lots of resources when I write anything (dictionaries, Wikipedia, my own public posts or private notes…). It'd be difficult for me to say anything of substance about these books from memory, without writing a polished script first… But it might work, to some extent!
If, like me, you were frustrated by the @eff's [_Secure Messaging Scorecard_](https://www.eff.org/pages/secure-messaging-scorecard) being outdated for years now, go check Mark Williams's [_Secure Messaging Apps Comparison_](https://www.securemessagingapps.com/) — it's a great resource.
My only objection: I would boost #Matrix (ie, #Element, #Riot) and fully recommend it, and penalise #Threema and discard it, based on their respective results under the section _“are the #app and server completely #opensource?”_ — I think that's paramount!
TL;DR: **use #Signal (it's the best and most user-friendly); if not possible for whatever reason, resort to #Matrix apps as 2nd best**.

At long last, common sense and decency prevail in #Spain 🇪🇸

Too bad I can't fit anything like that in my schedule any time soon… 😞
If I had the time, I would love to write and produce a very personal #podcast about #TheGreatestBooks.
I've been on a mission, for a few years now, to read the top twenty or so most important, most influential works of world #literature. Fiction top ten, plus non-fiction top ten. Because [the meta-ranking I use as a reference](https://thegreatestbooks.org/) updates regularly with new rankings published and with slight improvements to the algorithm, in going through the list I'm actually getting closer to reading the top forty books.
Each (short) episode would focus on one book: I would share [my review](https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/64930929-tripu?order=d&shelf=read&sort=review&view=covers), read some passages I highlighted, and my explain why the book is (or isn't) that important and how it affected me personally.
Thoughts?
@aperalesf Muchas gracias por compartir tus averiguaciones. Yo tengo pendiente des-googlizar mi móvil y una tableta vieja.
Sex, sports, food:
if you spend more time watching it, reading about it, or commenting it — than doing and enjoying it yourself — look inwards and seek help.

Columbus didn't think the earth was round, he thought it was pear shaped like a titty with a nipple and all...
> I found it (the world) was not round . . . but pear shaped, round where it has a nipple, for there it is taller, or as if one had a round ball and, on one side, it should be like a woman’s breast, and this nipple part is the highest and closest to Heaven.

Bear in mind by this point the dude had been at sea for sometime, so I'd imagine he was seeing tity shaped things everywhere he looked.
Do you want to hear me rant about
