When I was younger,
I relied on technology
to keep me sane.
Now, as I get older,
I try to help to
build it, translate it, document it
so other people also feel
technology is welcoming to them.

ME: I don't know if I'd have the courage and the responsibility to have some tattoos.
ALSO ME: *sees someone with a bunch of amazing tattoos and wishes to have some as well*
I think I don't feel so awkward listening to my own recorded voice anymore. It doesn't sound so bad.
I'm glad I can help her and make her feel a little more secure about making every single question she has, especially as I know some people would be quite aggressive with her if she looked for help somewhere else. We need to take care of each other and listen to the simplest of questions to make tech a bit more welcoming.
One of my dearest friends is studying web development and it's so nice to be able to answer her questions and guide her as much as I can.
I guess today is one of those days I'm deeply regretting working from home.
i was trying to sleep a little but there's a birthday party happening right next to our window and they are playing some wildly inappropriate songs for kids.
the skeletons inside my closet are all the tokens of failed personal projects i never got to use.
i also have an ukulele on my wardrobe that i never really learned how to play.
i used to do the cutest drawings for my partner and even did a traveling log some years ago but then technology got in the way and i simply stopped.
i have way too much undeveloped skills.
i bought a drawing tablet almost one year ago and i didn't make any progress with it. it's on my shelf for months now without a use.
i should do something about it.
friendly reminder that not everyone has the time and/or the technical knowledge and/or the will to learn to use that software you consider to be the definitive solution to certain situation
and i can't believe i have to explicitly say this but
you shouldn't shame them for that.
Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
I'll work from home today. 🙌
Happy Pride Month to all of you, especially if you can't wave your flag or haven't found it yet.

We should probably host our own thing.
I want to start using something that isn't Telegram or Whatsapp to talk to my partner when we're apart but it has to work on his potato phone and not be any worse than the other services I mentioned.
