I must admit it is a bit silly, but I became aware of the degradation of some Systemd units in my systems thanks to this GNOME extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6045/systemd-status/
Acabo de descobrir que es poden emprar els mapes 🗺️ de l'ICGC (https://www.icgc.cat/) a l' #OSMand 😍 - Gràcies per recollir-los, @osmcatala@mastodont.cat (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ca:Institut_Cartogr%C3%A0fic_i_Geol%C3%B2gic_de_Catalunya) i a l'ICGC per facilitar-ne l'ús a la comunitat.
I recovered the scrolling wheel of my Logitech M570 mouse 🖱️ thanks to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egmqhzg6cPA It is amazing how such a simply cleaning procedure can help things out! 🥳
Mentre estava llegint el llibre Selfie (2017), de Will Storr, en un dels capítols constantment em ressonaven les habituals crítiques al sistema educatiu català actual. Un article resum del capítol en qüestió: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/jun/03/quasi-religious-great-self-esteem-con
I use Tokyonight themes (https://github.com/folke/tokyonight.nvim) in most of my terminal applications. So, why should not use them in my #GNOME Desktop Environment as well https://github.com/Fausto-Korpsvart/Tokyonight-GTK-Theme ?
Using the install.sh CLI is quite straightforward, and you can […]

camí de Can Marcet, Sant Cugat del Vallès, engolit per la vegetació
Avui fent la tirada llarga 🏃♂️ de cap de setmana, m'he trobat amb un escenari propi de l'imaginari apocalíptic: una infraestructura humana conquerida per la natura. És el camí de Can Marcet (https://www.openstreetmap.org/?#map=17/41.498043/2.069131), a Sant […]

Quan vaig a córrer per la muntanya 🌄 acostumo a planificar la ruta amb #OSMAnd (una aplicació mòbil basada @osmcatala@mastodont.cat). A vegades miro d'improvisar i explorar nous corriols, que llavors s'incorporaran en l'amalgama de fragments per configurar rutes futures. Per a fer-ho, exporto la […]
Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

@jni The Fediverse is more like medieval feudalism than like modern democracy. Defederation is a way of handling conflicts between lords, which individually may or may not care about their vassals.
Compared to the empires of centralized networks, that's progress, but there remains a lot of room […]
New blog post: "Why we should review research software"

A good thing about having a sports watch ⌚ is that it helps you become aware of the negative effects of evening #alcohol consumption 🍷 by disrupting your #sleep 😴 ( https://runningwithrock.com/garmin-body-battery-hungover/ ). Despite being a sedative substance (making you fall asleep sooner) […]
A bit of #devops ranting. I used GitHub Actions to generate public #Docker images and upload them to registries like Docker Hub. However, for a couple of weeks, GitHub-hosted runners (using Ubuntu 24.04) stopped building #arm64 images 😢. To my surprise, there is no major issue with locally […]
El problema no es l'#algorisme que et reordena o et destaca el contingut. El problema és la intencionalitat que té.
I si en comptes d'intentar que quedessin enganxats el màxim temps possible, et proposes contingut que et connectes amb gent d'interessos similars, resolent problemes o […]
Arran dels diferents esdeveniments recents i de les darreres campanyes al respecte, he volgut ordenar les meves idees sobre el #Fedivers i sobre l'aportació de continguts a les xarxes socials https://www.cau.cat/blog/fedivers_recomanacio_aportacio_continguts_xarxa 🌐

Worth reading article about the possible effect of (AI) bots on Wikipedia: https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/asi.24975 /via @wikiresearch@mastodon.social — In summary, as more LLM (chat)bots are being used instead of reading the Wikipedia, potential and existing editors may be […]

#Suiza🇨🇭 no tiene jefe del Estado ni de Gobierno. El poder ejecutivo reside en un Consejo Federal de siete miembros. El Consejo tiene un presidente, ‘primus inter pares’, que rota cada año entre todos los miembros del Consejo.

Bon Nadal! Espero que hagi cagat de gust el vostre tió 🪵! Si heu d’ancorar-vos al sofà i a la televisió en algun moment, permeteu-me recomanar-vos reveure el clàssic de Nadal dels Gremlins. Aprofitant l’avinentesa, us enllaço un parell d’opinions al respecte que m’han semblat interessants […]

Aquest dijous i avui divendres he estat a Lleida amb motiu de les XII Jornades de Bioinformàtica i Genòmica https://scb.iec.cat/xii-jornades-de-bioinformatica-i-genomica/ . Hi he anat amb tren 🚆. No sé si és mala sort, però tant en anada com en tornada, he patit demores de gairebé una hora 😢 […]
He travessat corrents Collserola ⛰️ per fer un esmorzar de forquilla a Cerdanyola i un munt de locals de referència eren tancats (dia festiu, tot i que divendres) 😭. No és la primera vegada que em passa -sovint també durant dies normals-. He d'acostumar-me a fer una trucada abans als locals […]
