Casi geólogo artisteando.
Me gusta hablar de esas cosas que a nadie le interesan.
Pero no me importa, yo voy a mi ritmo.
Tal vez es momento de reflexionar esto del uso de las redes.

The Guardian y The Boston Globe dicen que ya reciben más tráfico de Bluesky de lo que recibían de Twitter. Bluesky, ahora mismo, tiene aproximadamente un 10% de los usuarios que tuvo Twitter en su pico, seguramente algo menos. pressgazette.co.uk/platforms/bl...
Bluesky already delivering more referral traffic than X for some publishers
A Guardian audience editor says Bluesky sent more referral traffic to the news outlet in its first week there than X has any week in 2024.

Por eso voy a compartir mis listas de reprodicción de Youtube, para aportar mi granito de arena contra la bipolarización de los discursos.

No comparto la opinión de ninguno de las dos "opiniones" hegemónicas, que quede claro de antemano.

Un estudio demostró que el algoritmo de Youtube promueve la desinformación y el extremismo.
Un alivio que aparezcan otras plataformas como Bluesky para promover otras dinámicas, pero la norma general en internet es y seguirá siendo la desinformación.

Me llaman diciendome que mañana me van a desinfectar el colvhón con rayos ultravioleta, que es una campaña gratis de una empresa. Conocen mi nombre y la calle en la que vivo.
Hago una busqueda rapida del numero de telefono y veo denuncias de que entran en tu casa y te roban.
Este acoso hasta cuando?

Size is one way to organize something I guess, but not the only one.

Generally (pun), I'm against there only being one view of anything.

I avoid exclusionary groups & in idea contexts I'm not concerned w/who came up w/something, or their affiliations, looks,,.

Why can it be rational to be irrational?

Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, Steven Pinker, is an arch defender of Enlightenment, and yet even he acknowledges that sometimes irrationality is the best strategy. https://buff.ly/3ONEnlj

I’ve been doing this for the past year and it’s been an almost perfect fix.
How to filter out AI Images in Google Image Search.

Sharing this with my students so I figured I'd also share it with everyone here.

Hopefully this image is still relevant given Google's changes. Save this on your computer or phone and refer to it as needed.

La evolución es cambio, y el cambio es algo incuestionable desde la ciencia. Todo ha sufrido y sufrirá mutaciones y una perpetua transformación. Aunque haya quien prefiera no verlo, la evolución sigue su camino.

Billionaires give me acid reflux. So I’m making little changes.

Duck Duck Go > Google Chrome

Bluesky > Threads > X 🤮

Substack > Medium

Text people happy birthday > Facebook 🤮

I just wish we had an alternative to Youtube. And I looked!

I have to get out of this distorted internet monopoly.

Sensationalism is an addiction akin to junk food. It floods your brain with dopamine––overstimulating it & training it to be less sensitive to natural sources of pleasure.

Here’s a warning: if you want to be happy in 2029, DON'T let sensationalism hijack your neuropathways in 2025. (See alt txt)

I have spent the last 24 hours getting harassed on twitter for calling nfts a scam in a comment. One guy even accused me of botting likes because I got 8 likes on a reply. So thats how twitter is going these days if you haven't been back in a while 🙃

Eh... sí sí, yo también pienso que los buenos son los que piensan como yo y que todos los que piensan diferente son unos palurdos incultos que no deberían poder opinar.

Y para colmo se ha instalado la cultura empresarial de "teletrabajo=caca".

Muchísimos trabajos de oficina se podrían hacer cómodamente desde cualquier sitio en vez de estar abarrotando Madrid, solo para que tu jefe Manolo te vea calentando la silla.
No quieres vivir en Madrid pero es donde hay trabajo, y es donde hay trabajo porque todos estamos aquí. Madrid se ha convertido en un pozo negro que todo lo absorbe.
Las políticas sociales no pasan sólo por abaratar los pisos en Madrid, sino en descentralizar España para que vivir fuera sea posible
