The possibility of a coiled cable didn’t even cross my brain. Rosa is always one step ahead of us.

Ah, yeah, my standing desk killed a KMV switch I had. It strangled it to death πŸ˜‚ That’s another reason I switched to a regular desk.

I had a standing desk, but sold it because I stood up two times πŸ˜“

In my case the tray makes sense because I have a socket strip (? Un ladrΓ³n, vaya) and only one cable goes to the wall. But with your situation I see it’s trickier, specially if it’s a standing desk.

Gotta step up your cable game now. I got a tray that you screw below the desk, but for you maybe some hooks or Velcro will make wonders.

I can't wait to finish moving and fixing the flat so I can find a new excuse to not work on my side projects.

Damn FrontPage, when everything was built with tables. It was a beautiful chaotic time.

I’m pretty sure past Jeroen is embarrassed of me too. But hey, it’s his fault for skipping gym.

Past Jeroen always disappoints me.

Everything in that picture is amazing. Specially the shirt. Happy bday!

The link would open this. Check the URL. Crazy.

I used to think that something like that (*.gob.es would be in Spain) would suffice. But then, last month I saw phishing messages with pages using Google Sites, so the short and full URL would be Google’s. Sometimes even the domain can be misused.

I miss visiting my grandparents in the Netherlands. It is truly a clichΓ©, but we often realize about things when it's too late.

Very cool, the mokumoku-kai thing. In return, I give you Iyashikei (癒し系) πŸ€“

There should be a way to verify websites same as official accounts in social networks. SSL certificates have a different propose and yet a lot of times they say β€œcheck for the lock icon!” like it’s going to prevent phishing.

Thanks for the list! Will take a look.

On my side I would add the password manager extension and my β€œsave to read later” button.

Ok, as a Firefox user, I have some extensions to check this weekend πŸ˜…

What about the fact that at some point they aligned it with the avatars? Sooo pleasing.

Related to that, when I was a kid I thought grown ups had everything figured out. Eventually you understand that everyone is dumb and nothing matters, so just wing it through life doing your best.

One of my all time favs.

Well, I complain because usually they are just broken πŸ˜‚

It’s funny because eventually it’s just one more click, but my brain only focus on how it ruins my whole day and makes me want to quit and become a lighthouse keeper.

Some websites' login flow shows you only the username/email field and then the password field. Is it because of passwordless logins?

Had it on my wishlist for some time and finally bought it. It ticks a lot of boxes in my heart.

The world needs more of this.

This women’s fashion trend about wearing cowboy boots in the heat of the summer… is it only tourists in Spain? Does it happen in other countries?

I’m pretty sure there is some science behind it. I used Lowi twice in the last 5 years, and the months my number was with them, random scammers called me daily. They even had info that *only* Lowi had, the same week I signed up.

There’s no solution. We have the technology but not the politicians.

I don’t like the spacing on this button. Should I?

20.07.2025 15:05 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Line spacing is one of the most neglected aspects of everyday life and I refuse to remain silent about it.

I mean, it's not the first time I've seen a cheating, psychopathic CEO playing the victim card. That I can tell you.

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg
