A year and three months later, a follow-up on leaving the web industry. I was supposed to have distanced myself from that by now, to speak about it lightly. Not true. Disclaimer: most of the content for this article comes from a few posts of mine published between 2013 and 2014 on the blog of my then co-directed web...

Six months ago, I offered to produce, mix, and master the debut album for a friend. One out of several good reasons to do so was selfish: use their project to complete a process of re-igniting my music production workflow, and rekindle with all the intrinsic mechanisms that are needed for a quality delivery. A...

Adding some flare back to the current uninspiring design of Mac OS wasn't enough. After spending a day using an old Mac running Mavericks, I realised how I probably need to find a tiny place somewhere in the past. A certainty formed after a couple of hours playing with my recently acquired 2013 MacBook Air. I hadn't...

Over the last ten years or so, a dominant theme has been nostalgia. While initially convinced it was strictly related to my personal struggle with ageing, I've now changed my mind. A constant in my journal, a constant in other people's blogs and posts on the Fediverse, the accompanying creeping malaise doesn't seem...

I undid it. Leaving Linux to go back to Mac OS after several months was something that I did not foresee. However, this thing is more nuanced, and it's not the end of the line. Technically, I had never left Mac OS, as I kept my MacBook Pro on Monterey (offline) for music production anyway. So, what happened? In a...

From The Dystopian Dream Team, a nice sum up of what I keep saying about the ultra-capitalist inability to being satisfied with what we have: There’s this unkillable idea in Silicon Valley right now that there will be another thing someday. The promise of a theoretical future device that does something worth having....

I did it. Leaving the Apple garden for Linux has been easier than anticipated. A new era of personal freedom has finally started. The intro is of course misleading — making it look like I suddenly jumped into deep waters, when in reality I've been walking in and out of Linux since 1998 (who remembers Mandrake?)....

Questa sera sei bellissima abbracciami anche se penserai che non è poetica questa vita ci ha sorriso e lo sai Abbracciami Abbracciami Troveremo il modo anche quando poi saremo stanchi Reply via email

I travelled to my home country yesterday, and for the first time in a very long time, I printed my tickets. All of them, train to the airport, flight. What did I notice? Ryanair don't apparently allow to print a ticket. At least from my point of view, I did not receive an email confirmation with an attached PDF...
