Software is not a commodity, although some are closer or farther.

To see why, imagine me forcing you to swap out your email client, or your IDE, or your spreadsheet or docs app, and tell me you won't care at all.

I've just moved my Bluesky (ATproto) account to Europe with @eurosky.social (I used EU-Haul to move it and it was a super smooth process).

To celebrate it, here you have some photos from my today's hike to Ogoรฑo (Basque Country), probably one of the capes with the best views in all Europe.

Yo tengo miedo de que nos salga un partido asรญ en Euskal Herria. Creo que se llevarรญa a mucha gente que oculta su racismo y xenofobia tras una mascara independentista.

Solo hay que escarbar un poco y ya se les ve el plumero.

Y generalmente esto responde a un diseรฑo de las calles que prioriza a los vehรญculos a motor o a unos tiempos semafรณricos absurdos para el peatรณn. Pero pongamos el foco y la culpa en el mรกs vulnerable y no en el entorno ni en las infracciones de los coches.
