The #ChatControl vote passing is horrible, but the way it did it is even worse. I really hope platforms start implementing end-to-end encryption even more. Thankfully, users do have the tools to avoid this nonsense.

Finished the first Mistborn book. Why did I wait so much to read it? I don’t know, but it reached me at the perfect time. #booksky #books #mistborn

Adding tags to our #flutter codebase allows us to define the type of tests we will run. We are then able to run a command like `flutter test --tags=unit` and only run the group of tests we added this tag to. This is incredibly useful for having more granularity over our CI/CD pipelines.

Me parece horrible que una compañía de telefonía use este tipo de alertas “de emergencia” para spamear promociones. #colombia #claro.

The third part of the first Dune book has a great start. I saw the movies years ago, I barely remember them. I am excited to see them again and see the differences between them and the first book. #booksky

Adoro la música. Toda mi vida he salido a la calle con mis audífonos puestos. Pero estas últimas semanas he intentado no utilizarlos y escuchar más lo que hay a mi alrededor. Debí hacer esto hace mucho tiempo.

Reading #dune with a glass of water next to me is cool, but doing the same thing with a cappuccino and some melange (cinnamon) on top of it is way cooler.

I’m so happy #ProjectHailMary  is doing so good. It’s a wonderful story about hope, friendship, and redemption. We need more stories that inspire people and allow us appreciate life more everyday. Amaze, amaze, amaze!

I got to visit to the #Rijksmuseum yesterday. I did not go with high expectations since I don’t go to museums that often, but I loved the experience. It’s amazing what we can communicate through art.

In these times, it felt refreshing knowing a human being took the time to create art like the one I saw yesterday. It really gives you this “AI will never achieve this” feeling.

Maybe I’m just getting old, but even if AI replaces artists (which I really hope does not happen), at least we have these creations from years and even centuries ago that still reflect what we, as humans, are capable of.

Bueno, definitivamente no he probado café como el de Colombia en el tiempo que llevo en Amsterdam. Me hace falta ese delicioso cafecito mañanero.

Today was my first time out while it was snowing. I was incredibly happy and got emotional since I’ve been picturing this moment for years. In addition to that? It happened in of my favorite cities in the world: Amsterdam. I loved it.

Rental Family, a movie about how we all deserve real connections had me shedding tears more than once. It can get a bit predictable, but the whole message from this movie is worth it. Also, the acting from Brendan Fraser and the rest of the cast is insane. #movies #rentalfamily

After a couple of weeks of drinking my #coffee without sugar, I don't see myself ever adding it to it again unless I really want a sweet taste. You really get to start noticing notes and flavors you were not able to identify before.

#genAI has reminded me why I love stop motion so much. The act of preparing the assets, the scenery and characters for a film where each frame is an expression of effort and love put into this art is simply admirable. GenAI will never replace human made art to me. #stopmotion

When I heard that this song was composed with the help of Avicii the first thing that came to mind was “This is why I like it so much!”. What a great song from Coldplay, Avicii and everyone involved. #music. #coldplay #avicii #musicsky

This is one of those songs that make you want to lie on grass at night and watch the sky with the full volume on. “As soon as forever is through I’ll be over you.” #music #musicsky #toto
