Here I am talking (in 🇪🇸 #Spanish) about curious and useful 🇯🇵 #Japanese words in the latest #episode of #BolaDeCristal #podcast:
If, like me, you were frustrated by the @eff’s Secure Messaging Scorecard being outdated for years now, go check Mark Williams’s Secure Messaging Apps Comparison — it’s a great resource.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 🇪🇸
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 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, read some passages I highlighted, and my explain why the book is (or isn’t) that important and how it affected me personally.
Thoughts?

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.
–Christopher Columbus, Log of his third voyage (1498)
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 #ES/#JS and some niche or eccentric #FOSS projects done with/for/about it (in 🇪🇸 Spanish)?

Someone is probably paying this organisation money for a service, probably via a cloud based, well designed, slick, Blockchain and AI secured website which boasts Military Grade encryption to ensure your details are safe as your business is important to them, via these cables...
