[lang=en] hey! What are you playing now?
I've been into Pokémon Black, although it's going slowly and switched to a more recent game, Inscryption, which has a 90s-2000s vibes.

another crazy experiment would be that the sunset starts at 7am, but the time is slowed down or made running faster so it's always 7pm at the sunset.
In July here we have 14 hours of daylight, and only 10:21 in December. So the idea would be to adjust working days or whatever, proportional to the amount of natural light we have in that month. Just thinking...

Yes, the idea is that it changes a few seconds every day to "start" at 7am with the sun ☀
The day lasts about 24 hours as usual

Due to the Daylight Saving Time, I recall a quick clock I made where it adjust daily so sunrise is at 7am in your place.

Luckily in my country DST is no more, although it could be good and boring to always wake up with the same position of the sun.
After work I should write about this experimental (and unfeasible?) clock 🤔

since last year in MX we don't have DST, and has been a bliss.
I'd advise to push that to your Congress (or equivalent), companies and universities, using the force of the group. That helped here.

I've been studying French, and recently Memrise offers a chat bot that speaks out the texts and corrects your mistakes... Feels weird, since it replies random things and you don't know how to answer. Although is useful.

Y claro, cuando algo es gratuito, hay costos ocultos, como la privacidad de tus datos.
También la piratería es un tema moral bastante complejo. Para algunos no hay daño en descargar y copiar sin límite. Para otros, se desincentiva, además de ser ilegal.
Con todo eso, no podemos descartar que en algunos países, como los latinoamericanos, es la primera opción de consumo. Más con los temas de impunidad legal.

mi reflexión va hacia la percepción de que "Todo en internet es gratuito" incluyendo el hosting, mantenimientos y tiempo de las personas.
Y si no es gratuito, es muy fácil elegir el camino "pirata" que tiene bajas fricciones más que los temas legales.
Se habló un poco en la serie sobre Spotify. Competir pagando por algo que es muy fácil de acceder gratis, con anuncios, etc. es retador.

Probé el plan de 5 USD/mes de Kagi.
Debo decir que sí está interesante, aunque en 20 días me terminé las 300 búsquedas.
Lo ideal sería tener el plan ilimitado de 10 USD. La verdad es difícil competir contra los numerosos competidores gratuitos, que respetan privacidad. El valor percibido de un servicio de búsqueda, aunque lo usemos decenas de veces al día, se siente muy bajo.
Ahora ando usando https://priv.au una de las múltiples instancias de https://searx.space

Now that my finances are going better with my 'stable' job from 9 to 5, I'm thinking back (unconsciously) to playing with a pet project for a few hours a week.
Would it be something related with microblogging and twtxt? A video game? A board-game? Or maybe something related with sports? Or maybe it's better just allowing the free time to pass and not doing anythin'...
Just thinking 🙂

Well, yes... self-hosting is nice until you face problems or unexpected costs for something not appealing anymore.
There are many technical alternatives, although I think the main problem is human. Our fears, expectations, desires and such.

I haven't used it. Now Visual Studio and VSCode have some features that 'read' your code and try predict what your are typing or autodocument. I don't use those that much, but saves you a few seconds a day.
What has been magic to me is ChatGPT.
"On Python/PHP/C# how can I do (thing that I didn't know yet or I'm lazy to do by hand)" or "Show me an example with this input, I'm expecting that output"
And almost every time it generates valid code, well explained, and taking your scenario into consideration.
It teaches you, saves time, it's faster than reading documentation. I'm amazed.

I could say I'm feeling similar. I mean, we all use technology, there is a nostalgic factor in it. Our life is easier thanks to technology, and we have a 'hedonic adaptation' requiring more and more improvements to our lifestyle.
The book "The Victorian Internet" was a good eye-opener for me, understanding that 50, 100 or 200 years ago, humankind had the same problems and needs.
And besides that, I feel everything is going too fast, although I don't have a reference point. My country is/was living in an internal war and now everything feels 'calm'.
As a user of technology, a hobbyist, and designer of new tech, it's interesting to spend some time thinking on it.

What are you going to use it for?
On Android, I'm quite happy with Aegis, but haven't found something similar on iOS. (With offline backups, TOTPs of 6 to 10 digits, and some customizations)
I tried FreeOTP very briefly. On Android, it doesn't work as I'd expect. It doesn't read the QR code from my app (having inverted colors) and gives a warning that my parameters are insecure (which could be with SHA-1, but it's the first time I see that warning 👀).
And on iOS 10 (latest available on my old iPhone), I assume it gets an old version without support for 10 digits, what my Web apps use.
So I couldn't really recommend it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've found that with any QR, and mainly with an 'inverted colors' QR, we need a bit of black margin to make it readable.
