Cuando mi hija era chiquita, en el Mixup les dio una época de vender los DVDs de Studio Ghibli, en paquetes de tres películas dobladas al español.
Una de ellas era El Castillo en el Cielo.
Se la pusimos una sola vez; tendría unos 3 años. Dejaron el nombre de la ciudad intacto, y uno de los diálogos climáticos es "¡Laputa sí existe!".
My favourite talk from this year’s #id24 is How to consider non-native English speakers in UX. They talk about some really good things that also apply for cognitive accessibility and these things are so easy to overlook if you don’t carefully consider the impact language can have on understanding

It's actually hilarious how many plants we cultivate specifically for their defense mechanisms
Alliums: We have nasty sulfur compounds that turn into literal tear gas when our cell walls are broken! No animals are getting at our sugar stores!
Humans: Mmm tasty sulfur compounds, I'm gonna eat you with everything
Tea and coffee: Haha, bugs die when they try to eat us because we grow our own pesticide!
Humans: Ugh don't talk to me until I've had my pesticide
All manner of herbs and spices: Nice try, critters! But we are filled with volatile oils that are dangerous and offputting!
Humans: Ooo this one is good with my pesticides, this one tastes great with the sulfur compounds, this one makes amazing desserts, oh my god yes.
Spicy peppers: Fucking mammals grinding up our seeds in their gross molars! No more! Only birds can tolerate our heat!
Humans: I'm gonna dry you up, grind you into a powder, and use you as a staple seasoning for entire continents' worth of cuisine

A massive success for the first conference, the governing board meeting in person, and an MSC written in real time. What a week in Matrix!!
Thank you all for making the first annual #MatrixConf such a wonderful experience! We're already looking forward to the next one, slated for France in late 2025.
Our small-but-mighty team is properly exhausted and looks forward to sharing more – including recordings, photos, and takeaways – after resting up.

I am brimming with pride, gratitude, and joy after the 1st annual Matrix Conference. So much to say!
Grateful to punctuate a great week sharing a lovely time at
Café Botanico, a delightful garden-to-table restaurant hidden in the heart of Neukölln, with some of my colleagues at the Matrix.org Foundation. Thanks for being amazing, team 💖

Left-wing coalition wins French elections so King Macron forms right-wing government.
Such democracy.
(In case you needed yet another reminder that fucking neoliberals will always choose fascism over social justice when they feel their wallets are threatened.)
Dear distro maintainers and "i build my own stuff" people:
In case you want to check out 0.42.0 upfront: we've tagged the first releases candidates of #phosh and related components today. Release is planned 2024-09-30 (gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/p…)
We have some more fixes pending but the bulk of things should be in.
Mě tak moc mrzí, že už ho nepoužívám, ale teď půjde na lepší, kde si ho na rozdíl ode mě budou víc vážit 😁
