Ufff, the #Apple#iPad advert, so tone deaf for our times.
Wrong on so many counts, celebrating the destruction of human creativity and artistry, and contrary to all the R-principles ... rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, recover, recycle, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose, reclaim, retrofit, retro-cool, revival, reading the room ...
... all under the heavy, grey-steeled palm of an uncaring machine.
@vriesk ... yeah, will only get a thick cover or case slapped on it, or flex and crack the minute someone sits, having forgotten it on a chair or sofa. Oh whoops. LOLZ.
@vriesk Yes, they should be durable, and pass minimum tests for durability. And they should also be repairable and upgradeable, and pass minimum standards for these aspects too. I think companies like Fairphone and Framework are going in the right direction with this!
@vriesk Agreed! There should be the possibility for both third-party hardware and third-party software! Have you tried installing another browser on iOS?
Thanks to my mate Felipe for persuading me to rock climb after an absence of about 10 years! We did the marvellous 5 pitch Espolon Cerro del Toro outside Motril.
I felt really comfortable apart from the last 4+ slab which stretched my ageing (has-been) ability to it's maximum in my scrambling approach boots. Rock slippers would have been much easier. A nice 60m abseil to finish.
Brought back a lot of happy memories today & proved that there is still life in the old dog 🤣
Depuis quelques semaines sur #Twitter , pas un seul fil de discussion sans son bot "mes nudes dans mon profil". Quand je dis "pas un seul", j'en suis à 100% sur des dizaines de fils de discussion consultés.
Today, I'm translating an academic essay on the opportunities and risks of technology, and how to approach them in the field of education, from Italian to English.
Being interested in photography means I don't have a lot of images of myself. That's normal eh? Here's a brilliant one of yours truly though, taken a few days ago by expert @chriswright. Thanks Chris.
I did get a touch of vertigo stood there as the drop the other side was immense 😱
Today's trailhead was just a 20 minute drive from Granada city. 4 kilometers and 300 meters of ascent later we reached the delectable and very well named summit of "Cerro Buenavista". We ate our lunch in the warm sunshine, on the soft grassy summit slopes with the snows of the Sierra Nevada stretched out before us. The dulcet tones of Lou Reeds "Perfect Day" played gently in the background. Yup, about right!
It appears that the BrewDog Lost Forest has in fact been largely lost. To date Scottish Forestry had paid BrewDog £690,986.90 for planting, but seemingly large numbers of the planted trees are now dead.
As the sun went slowly down to the west of Granada we were left with a brief but beautiful sunset over the peaks of the Sierra Nevada. We watched the sun dip below the horizon and then the clouds illuminated with color, before the cold had us hurrying towards our tent.
Bon, ça y est. J’ai rendu la traduction de Kohei Saito.
En même temps, je travaille avec des collègues sur la traduction de l’Avenir en Commun en japonais. On a réussi à obtenir une préface de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, et je travaille donc sur la traduction française de la postface pour validation par l’éditeur français… Dans la préface, Mélenchon cite justement Saito. Une petite boucle de bouclée.
La semaine prochaine, j’enclenche sur un document de présentation des problématiques de l’aide publique au développement pour un groupement d’ONG. Et après, je me pose 10 minutes.
Et puis c’est, préparation d’une communication en juin, écriture du projet de thèse, écriture du livre sur OmegaT (tant attendu ?!?), écriture d’un premier article pour communiquer sur mon master, restitution des contenus au niveau local, recherche de traductions pour vivre aussi, et tout le tralala.
Wow, what a wild night. Total calm until 2am and then the strong winds hit our exposed perch on the mountainside. Not much sleep after that. Winds were more suited to Patagonia than southern Spain.
Good job we had a good tent. If we had a festival tent we would have woken up in Morocco 😀 😂
