I put together an illustrated guide on rebasing with #Git (ie: moving commits from a branch to another). It's a common question I get from beginners, and I hope this is useful to others: https://blog.pablobm.com/2020/07/23/how-to-move-commits-to-correct-branch.html

We already knew that personalized suggestions tend to create echo chambers, but seeing it in action...
Do you also think that only the videos targeting your political views are reasonable, and the others are all nuts? To me, that's the most disturbing realization.
#Spain 🇪🇸 is by far the first country in the world in relative number of actual deceased organ donors.

I too found #WarAndPeace to be unexpectedly engaging and entertaining, in spite of the many long “digressions” from the “plot”. In some way, the whole thing is a meta-historical essay, isn't it?

🇪🇸 Pierdo toda esperanza en la humanidad. Hice una consulta por e-mail a una dirección oficial del Registro Civil Único de #Madrid, y esta es su respuesta, completa y literal:

Are we going to talk about the fact that official reports from the European Parliament are openly (and approvingly) talking about implementing their own version of the Great Firewall of China?

🇪🇸 «Posicionar» (verbo) y «posicionamiento» (nombre) son #antipalabras: hay alternativas corrientes que son más fáciles y más cortas, y que además las preceden etimológicamente 🤷♂️
«Poner» o «pronunciarse» (v.) en lugar de la primera y «posición» (n.) para sustituir a la segunda.
Si no ves nada malo en añadir alegremente morfemas sufijos para cambiar la categoría gramatical de una idea *cuando ya existe una palabra equivalente, te* gustará mucho leer pronto «posicionamentación» (n.), que sería la siguiente palabra lógica en la secuencia; y luego, «posicionamentacionar» (v.); etc. 🤦♂️

“It’s time for more of us to stand up and say: yes, I am a center-left extremist. Yes, I’m an #Enlightenment fanatic, a radical for liberal moderation and reason. If #liberalism is the vanilla of worldviews, then I aspire to be the most intense vanilla anyone has ever tasted. I’m not a closeted fascist. I’m not a watered-down leftist. I’m something else. I consider myself ferociously anti-racist and anti-sexist and anti-homophobic and pro-downtrodden, but I don’t cede to any ideological faction the right to dictate what those terms mean. The world is too complicated, too full of ironies and surprises, for me to outsource my conscience in that way.”

«La #igualdad no es una bandera #socialista, sino #liberal, porque fueron los liberales quienes insistieron en la igualdad compatible con la libertad y la justicia; a saber, la igualdad *ante* la ley.
Los socialistas de todos los partidos usurparon dicha bandera y la desfiguraron, convirtiéndola en la igualdad *mediante* la ley, lo que necesariamente viola la libertad y la justicia.
Por eso jalean la “justicia social”, que es, como la “justicia fiscal”, una injusticia política.»
