Mastodon is growing up, so I will introduce myself.

Hello everybody, read my bio if you want to know who I am.

I'm Spanish, but most of my toots are english. I love programming with Python, Ruby and JavaScript. Also I love Linux.

I could define me as a polyglot developer, but not yet.

Also I have a Konoha headband.

In the end, this is how a rich kid's tantrum destroyed a handcrafted product with decades of history and familiar tradition.

Where is the cheat then? When the product was created by a small company, they actually make them everyday and actually where handcrafted. Currently not, because the demand, they have to implement a massive production process, in other words: the industrial way.

But the current company claim they made them handcrafted every morning, even when TV shows revealed the truth. So they are a bunch of cheaters, as many other big companies.

I find this story quite interesting, because it shows how already capitalism and business works. If you can make money with it, buy it.

Like Bill Gates with Homer Simpson's Internet company.

A spanish TV show, shows how capitalism works. Small bakery creates a different version of the croissant, and becomes a mass sensation.

Another bakery regented by a solvent businessman, tries to get benefit opening his own franchise, but it doesn't work. So, they copy the product and again it doesn't work as well.

Finally they decid to buy the now not so small bakery. And now they're making huge amount of money by cheating their audience.

New Ethical Hacking teacher. Asked for Kali Linux VM, in order to teach about their tools.

Me, the intelectual, while everyone is creating their VMs, running it from my memory stick.

Fuck this, I'm going to put on my résumé that I'm Facebook owner.

Actually this sucks. I'm tired of attending interviews and applying into job offers. Most of them never call me again, and when one of them call, and it is going really nice... everything goes wrong.

Soooo... this seems like another failed job opportunity, I guess.

Today they called me to communicate the project will be standby for a while. Let's start looking for job again...

Welcome to the Hell, comrade.

Back to my cave, it's cold outside.

Mira que no me gusta escribir en español aquí, ni hablar de política, pero es que me enervan estas cosas. Me quema muchísimo el parasitismo que crean los desastres naturales o no.

Aquí, por suerte, como mucho hemos sufrido lluvias y temperaturas muy bajas. Algo a lo que no estamos acostumbrados, y se sufre, pero no nos impide continuar con nuestra vida normal, aunque sea con trece capas de ropa.

Me duele ver como la solidaridad del pueblo termina siendo postureo sin más. Que lo haga Pablo Casado y su tropa, vale, porque estamos acostumbrados. Pero el resto...

Aunque por otro lado, me gusta ver que en los lugares más afectados, no les ha faltado tiempo para arremangarse y echarse a la calle.

Cuando empezó la primera oleada COVID, organizamos un montón de puntos de colaboración y ayuda vecinal para aquellos que no podían, entre otros, salir a comprar suministros, por ejemplo. Prestamos apoyo desinteresado a los servicios de emergencia y ONGs, fuimos solidarios, hasta que se pasó la moda.

En plena ola de frío y temporal que tenemos encima, quizás deberíamos hacer lo mismo, y reabrir esas plataformas de apoyo local. Pero la moda, ya pasó.

Let the hardbass fly

Near ten years after that, when I was 24 years old, I started learning krav maga. Today, after near four years training, I don't regret nothing, but I feel a bit nostalgic when I see other people practising martial arts and I think about what could happen if I never have stopped my aikido path.

'Cobra Kai' is making me think about those time when the martial arts movies were like best we can watch to on TV. When we, as child's, dreamed about being a martial arts masters and we tried to convice our parents to let us attend karate lessons.

I started with martial arts when I was 14 years old, and unlike other childs, instead of karate, I learned aikido for at least two years. Maybe I shoul have continued it, but due to circumstances, I couldn't.
