Wow. La placa de Anatolia se ha desplazado 3,5 metros a causa del #terremoto del sur de #Turquía, tal y como se puede apreciar en estas fotos:

Sin leer el artículo:
Me juego el cuello a que los MIERDAS de El Confidencial llaman "laboralistas" a cuatro abogaditos de bufetes sicarios de empresas.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Faltan lanzallamas.

Launching Draftodon - a @drafts Action Group for Mastodon 🚀
Finally finished the first version for #Draftodon - now you can easily integrate Drafts with #Mastodon
The Action Group should be really easy to use and allows you to post or schedule different types of statuses to Mastodon. It includes some helpers for composing posts and also tools to view or edit scheduled posts.
You can download the Action Group from the Drafts Directory: https://directory.getdrafts.com/g/2GL
🚀🚀🚀 [1/4]

It's so weird to see people cheering on tech layoffs because they believe tech workers get paid too much and don't work hard enough, but then also cheering on billionaires laying them off because they apparently do deserver the money and do work hard enough. Like, there's literally a wealth threshold where you go from "overpaid" to "how dare you question this man, the amount of money he has means he is completely infallible". It's like a tabletop exercise in coming up with the wrongest possible take on wealth inequality.

@foodnoms Now my shortcut works amazingly well! It’s better than before because even when I log my breakfast meal past 9:00 it can still log it as breakfast.
Thanks for being so responsive and the prompt update!

So you may have noticed that the Twitter login of https://movetodon.org/ is not working at the moment.
According to twitter, the app “has violated Twitter Rules and policies”. I can’t tell much more at the moment since the email they mention never arrived in my inbox.
@robertroybritt @medium First, the planet won’t sustain it. There wouldn’t be population replacement. No kids, no new people. We would need to colonize other worlds to achieve it. And then, at what stage of our life we end up living? Forever old? Forever teen? Forever 30-50 years old? And it probably will be expensive to pay. Only people with access to lots of money would be able to afford it. Another hit to those struggling, which will be now “finite” vs the immortal rich. Sounds distopic 2/2
@robertroybritt @medium molecular biologist here. As much as it sounds appealing, I can say that living “forever” won’t come without drawbacks. Some effects of aging can’t be reversed or avoided, so even if we could extend cell life forever by countering the mechanisms that lead to aging there are parts of us that won’t be able to repair or keep up. In the end it won’t be forever, and it will be painful. And even if we break all barriers to aging, I’m not sure I would like to live eternally. 1/2

@Shine_McShine al final las estafas piramidales están hechas para vaciar los bolsillos al que ya tiene poco. El “get rich quick” funciona muy bien entre las clases obreras. Mira si no en que barrios estaban la mayoría de casas de apuestas. Siempre regiones empobrecidas.
Lo malo es que el altavoz de la estafa se amplifica por esos chavales que se creen que “tú no lo entiendes, es que estas anticuado, esto es el futuro, adaptarse o morir” y cuantos más caen a mas arrastran con ellos.
@moritz I heard about the not asking for refunds. I don’t know how Apple processes refunds but I’m kind of in between. I canceled my Tweetbot subscription when Elon bought Twitter because I saw the end coming. I also understand the struggle tapbots and Ivón factory are going through due to the radical changes of the past months. It’s very risky set up a business based on a service that can shut you down anytime they want. But I also love to see how the app market thrives these days with Mastodon
@Shine_McShine y eso que esos serpientos venían de familias acomodadas e incluso después de irse empiezan la vida con un empujón de sus papis. Y aún así les cuesta adaptarse. Ahora que imaginen alguien que haya tenido que trabajar para pagarse la matrícula de la carrera en la pública (🙋♂️) o tener dos o tres trabajos para poder pagar alquiler. Y todavía te vienen defendiendo a Rallo después de todo.
@moritz and some still maintain the same business model: Alfred, DEVONthink, ia writer, Omni apps (although they’re switching to sub, at least as an alternative), the Affinity suite, keyboard maestro… But a lot of good software comes also from subscription-based models. The problem in iOS with the App Store is that a new app version gets charged 30% by Apple, a subscription renewal just 15%. that’s a lot of money that ends up in the developer pockets instead of Apple.
@moritz @paul that’s true and it’s valid criticism. They could include the disclaimer in the app description. I guess having a rushed launch because someone decided to cut their main revenue by shutting down Twitter’s API didn’t help. Also users of Tweetbot knew already their business model. And in the end you have your right to skip the sub and jump to other client such as Ice cubes (free with tips), Metatext (although o think it’s not maintained anymore), Tusker, etc.
@Shine_McShine No hay más que ver la progresión de incendios en California. Vortex polares en la costa este. Huracanes de grado 5 en el sur. Desde que vivo aquí (2018) la progresión da miedo. Este año en San Francisco hemos tenido una tormenta que ha traído registros inéditos de lluvias. Barrios enteros inundados y vientos con rachas de 110 km/h. Pero como el término común aquí es “global warming”, cosas que traigan frío y lluvia no pueden estar relacionadas con el “global warming”!
