I'm having a lot of fun working on and using my Anki companion app: Ankitron. And I'm also very happy with the new website I built, where you can test the app without downloading it: ankitron.com

After years of climate anxiety, I'm honestly relieved to find more and more confirmation every day that I wasn't worrying for nothing, like I always do!

Now on the blog: a funny binocular shot from Lured (1947), a terrific noir starring Lucille Ball and George Sanders about a poetically inclined serial killer. Hat tip to @nazaret.bsky.social binocularshot.com #binocularshot #movies

Entrevisté a Isabel Peña, guionista de cine y televisión. Ganadora de dos premios Goya, estrena ahora El ser querido, escrita junto a su director, Rodrigo Sorogoyen. 🎧 albertoromero.com/la-cocina/s0...

I added support for @standard.site on my blog a couple of weeks ago and then proceeded to not publish a post because my love for open-source protocols will always be eclipsed by my true love: avoiding writing at all costs.

Someone created a blog to collect elevator/lift scenes in media (liftsinfilm.com). My challenge now is to find a binocular shot that could appear on that site and also on binocularshot.com

If you're a Mac Anki user as picky about its interface as I am, I built something for you and me: a lightweight Mac app with a cleaner UI for studying decks and managing cards. It works by running Anki in headless mode, but with a nicer-looking interface (IMHO). Get it at: ankitron.javier.computer

Sinceramente, unos octógonos negros (quizá los polígonos más terroríficos de todos) no solucionarán el problema. Como diseñador, propongo algo más sencillo: calificar la nota del Nutri-Score con otro Nutri-Score (pero más pequeño). Así el comprador entenderá cómo de buena es la valoración asignada.

When hackers stole my Instagram username in 2024, they had to use social engineering skills and the obituary of a person who shared my name. But now, thanks to the power of AI, they can just use an VPN and ask politely. That's what I call progress!

I've released a new version of "Are.na Manager" (an @obsidian.md plugin to interact with @are.na ) to use the new Are.na API. I also improved several commands, and you can now fetch public blocks from other users. community.obsidian.md/plugins/aren...

If you are giving a commencement speech, my recommendation would be to enthusiastically mention AI as much as possible. I hear people love it! It's also a type of content I recently discovered I enjoy a lot. Thanks!

before the internet was a corporate hellscape it was built by ordinary people! the slop was wacky and homemade just like mom (and David) used to make. alas the good old days are over but I can't believe how lucky we are to have @archive.org to remember them :') web.archive.org/web/20080803...

"It's Fun to Use Your Brain!" is a series of books that I'll begin publishing in 2030 that will make me rich thanks to the damaging effects of AI on reasoning and critical thinking skills.

Dead Calm (1989) – binocularshot.com #binocularshot #movies

Hey, look (perhaps through a spyglass): Binocular Shot is back! Yes, the site has been on a hiatus for some time, but I plan to resume my mission of cataloging every single movie with a non-true-to-life binocular shot. binocularshot.com

I miss working with my previous team and sometimes regret leaving Automattic… but then I see things like this, and I'm glad I don't have to work for one of the most pathetic CEOs in the world.

Decía Billy Wilder que uno es tan bueno como lo mejor que ha hecho. Yo no sé si habré hecho muchas cosas bien pero al menos sé rodearme de gente que te caes de culo al pensarlo mistergriffin.es/libros/erica...

You can also get AI reviews from environmentalists and climate scientists. This is from their demo of the feature. I can't tell if they're trolling us or if they just don't see the irony.

@javier.bsky.social and I made some new zines! Mine come with a hand drawing, his with a mysterious code. Both are bilingual, funny and cute, and you should check them out 👀 Boletín botánico: boletinbotanico.com Life with subtitles: ko-fi.com/ericafustero... #fanzine #illustration #comic

After several attempts at finding an Adobe Illustrator alternative, I gave up and reinstalled it, only to discover that it now adds a toolbar by default whenever you draw anything, all just to push their generative crap. Leave me alone, man… I just want to draw a rectangle!

«Marfil» viene del árabe hispánico «azm alfil», que significa «hueso de elefante». En griego, «marfil» es «elephas», y el genitivo es «elephantos», así que «elefante» significa «el del marfil». La palabra «Elefante» viene del marfil y la palabra «marfil» viene del elefante.

love when there's an article about how life is sustainable in the superheated waters surrounding a hydrothermal volcanic fissure on the ocean floor and then like six paragraphs in you find out the author's parents are chemosynthetic bacteria 🙄
