Spain set to slash work week to 37.5 hours

In the last days of 2023, I embarked on a hiking journey to the Canary Islands.
Renowned as a destination for tourists and beachgoers, these islands are also a heaven for hikers, and boast an array of diverse ecosystems, from coastal dunes to pine forests to volcanic terrains.
My journey took me along the #GR131 route traversing #Tenerife and #GranCanaria.

A sunset in a high altitude pine forest. Small clouds ripple in the skies, lit by orange rays from above. A number of tall pine trees rise from the ground, obscuring the sky and the setting sun with the clusters of their dark needles.
A panorama of mountain ranges stretching to the horizon under a clear blue sky. Some green trees and bushes in the foreground, while multiple mountain range and continue one beyond another.
Mountain Teide dominates the landscape of the island of Tenerife. Its perfect conical shape sits in the middle of the picture, under a slight ripple of high altitude clouds on otherwise clear skies. The terrain around and below the mountain resembles a giant bowl covered with the sparse desert vegetation.
An evening panorama of an evening desert landscape. The sun just set on the left side of the picture, while the moon has just risen on the right. The ground and the sea are list by the rays from both directions, giving them a feeling of unreality. The street lights from the distant towns further away, add a few more dots and lines to the overall picture.

The Omar Metioui Ensemble has recorded a lot of #Maghribi #Sufi music from the medieval era, including this album of #Dhikr and Sama.

I'm not a great fan of #Sufi music, especially the type that involves grunting or snorting. I don't get the purpose. But there's something about this style and this recording that puts me into another place mentally, which is the whole purpose.

On this recording, you can really hear the similarities between this and #Catholic #Gregorian #Chant of the same time period. And... (almost) no grunting.

TODAY IN SPAIN!

The northern Spanish city of Zaragoza was inundated by a heavy downpour in less than 20 minutes. The fire brigade had to rescue desperate people from their cars.

Today, two open letters from academics on the scientific arguments against the current #CSS (client side scanning) initiatives have been released:

* The first (in English, internationally coordinated) one is online at https://tinyurl.com/CSAScientistsLetter and still open for additional signatures.

* The second (in German, by #Austrian academics) one is online at https://www.ins.jku.at/chatcontrol/ and explicitly includes law experts in addition to the arguments from a security, privacy, and AI perspective.

This debate is expected to gain new steam with #Spain taking over the EU council presidency, given recently leaked statements like "Ideally, in our view, it would be desirable to legislatively prevent EU-based service providers from implementing end-to-end encryption" (https://www.wired.co.uk/article/europe-break-encryption-leaked-document-csa-law).

Please boost on any channels you deem adequate. The discussion is still open, and we have little time to bring it to a more rational level.

Leaked Government Document Shows Spain Wants to Ban End-to-End Encryption

In response to an EU proposal to scan private messages for illegal material, the country's officials said it is “imperative that we have access to the data.”

With a delay, we arrive at the last window of the accessibility for the blind advent calendar.
This one might be known to some of you as the news has reached quite some peak in media outlets worldwide. Accessible Christmas was an app developed to let blind people enjoy the Christmas lights of Madrit through a geolocation-based audiodescription experience. The great thing about it was, you could also access these descriptions wherever you were. Many blind people do not have the privilege of worldwide mobility so bringing bits of the world closer to them is what I call an extension of accessible tourism. Describing the world you experience through textual blogs, social media postings, audio recordings and sharing interesting highlights of life in different countries is what you can do next year to make others travel even if they physically can't. If you're the one unable to travel, here are a couple of things that help me personally when I wish I could be elsewhere but can't:
1. Play a random radio station in a language you understand nothing of or find the music that you like coming from somewhere obscure or far away. I enjoy checking out local charts in other countries just to see how different languages fit into the music trends of today.
2. Try to find recordings of places on sites like Freesound or Soundcloud; close your eyes and imagine.
3. Read travel blogs, watch or listen to content on the Internet of others travelling where descriptions are abundant; research how topics that interest you are managed elsewhere.
4. Try to find penpals, somebody to exchange occasional packages with and simply make friends; if that's possible, try to find a local language conversation group, groups for people who have moved to your city etc. meet, ask questions but most of all, listen!
5. Maybe one day make your own advent calendar.
