Enhanced games

The other day that stupid thing called the Enhanced Games took place. As you might have guessed by the name, this is basically the Olympics on steroids, quite literally. The event itself is not even worth commenting on. I remember hearing about this concept ages ago and forg...

14 down, 30 more to go

The stars are finally aligned again, and I’m back on the road for chapter 3 of this 10-part saga. Clear sky, not too warm, I have someone who can come pick me up and drive me back to my car, the calendar is empty, so we’re going for it. Contrary to the previous two segments ...

I feel your pain Sara

I stumbled on this piece of code recently that made me laugh, cry, sigh in despair, and think of poor Sara doing her best to make the web a better place.

<div class="action-button button of-h mh-effect"
onclick=" window.open('https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&amp;fs=1&amp;to=redacted@email.com','_blank',)">

I guess people have forgot that mailto: is a thing that exists.

On people writing about their use of AI

I find the trend of people posting about the way they use generative AI to be fascinating at an anthropological level. I do not remember the last time a piece of technology pushed so many different people into writing about the way they use it, or not use it, or abuse it, or...

A phone battery experiment

I’ve done all sorts of experiments over the years when it comes to my phone usage. From cutting down my screen time as low as possible, to not using the phone at all, to running it in black-and-white mode, and many others. But this morning I woke up, unplugged my phone from ...

Accepting tradeoffs

I live in a very quiet place. There are 30 or so people here, only one road that sees very little traffic, and woods all around us. I wake up with birds chirping, and most of the day, that’s all I can hear around me. At the same time, public transport is pretty much non-exis...

A moment with a silly creature

It’s so funny how much a creature like this silly dog can change someone’s life. He certainly change mine, for better or for worse, and he also changed me in the process. But physically and spiritually.

11 down, 33 more to go. Plus a cave.

We had another lovely, sunny weekend last week, and that means I walked the second of the ten segments of the 44 votive churches loop. This time around, I didn’t have to mess with the route in order to hit all the churches in one go because there were no variants. And, like ...

Spending hard caps

I was catching up with some tech news yesterday and every time I read one of these “I woke up with a USD 18k bill in my Cloud account” articles, I am reminded about how fucking stupid—and predatory—this whole industry can be. The ability to set hard spending caps should be r...

5 down, 39 more to go

In a previous post, talking about the church of San Nicolò, I wrote: It’s part of a trail that I do want to walk that is designed to touch 44 votive churches scattered around the valleys. I’m gonna visit that church again because yesterday I walked the first of the 10th se...

Nuances

I realised that the thing that bothered me the most about that stupid tabs discussion was the shallowness. Vertical vs horizontal tabs in a browser is not a deep philosophical topic worth of major explorations, that goes without saying, but you can still approach it with som...

Vertical Tabs

The other day, as I was driving home, I had the bad idea of listening to the most recent Waveform podcast, where they were discussing vertical vs horizontal tabs in browsers (and many other things). The whole discussion was truly painful to listen to, you’d hope people who t...

Slash AI

I’ve seen /ai pages popping up here and there on other people’s blogs. The idea for these pages is, and I quote, «promote trust and transparency». Trust, in the context of 2026 internet—and society in general—is quite the complex topic. Dishing out trust willy-nilly is no lo...

Successful products

Every time I stumble on articles or posts discussing tech products, I’m perplexed when someone uses the word “successful” to describe a product with a lot of users. There’s a better word for products like that, and that’s “popular”. Maybe I’m the odd one here, but I don’t th...

Social media reimagined

We’re all familiar with social media: the Facebooks, the Twitters, the TikToks of this silly digital world. They have invaded our lives and taken over our time and attention. We have spent the past decade posting, snapping, tweeting, reeling (?), tiktoking (??). We fall asle...

Exploiting brain flaws

Just admit you’re playing the game

It’s fine. Many people do it, and you decided to do the same. That’s ok. But don’t attempt to use some wishy-washy argument to justify your actions. You either believe in something and you’re willing to power through, or you don’t, and you do what everybody else is doing. It’s fine to pick option B, but at least have the courage to admit it and don't use some bullshit argument to justify your actions.
