in defense of Matt and Trey, they did apologize on the ManBearPig thing. And it’s not like their depiction of Trump is very flattering, either…

taught me once and for all that while death might be always near, a fear that’s constantly devouring our lives and paralysing them to the point where it feels like our deepest, inner self is a husk shell of what we once were, we can still find the reason of our existence in the joys of living a life that’s devoted in equal part to mystery, sensuality, knowledge and wonder. And it says this in the most democratic way you could think: everyone is entitled and deserving of the complexity of life. Oh, and also: it’s an absolutely hilarious book to read through.

never found Joyce to be pretentious (the man knew what he was doing, and definitely succeeded in doing so) or obtuse (I mean, how many writers you can think of that could pull out the mastery of language and human sensibility out of nowhere like he does). I might be biased because I believe Ulysses saved my life: it’s definitely one of the funniest, most touching, humane books I have ever had the pleasure to read. I’d push Ogre to keep up with the good work.

aside from the weather (which is nicer in Sicily), it’s an archipelago that pretends at all costs to have a relevant European history while offering no way of exploring that history whatsoever. The rampant touristisation of La Valletta has turned it into what’s basically an all-ecompassing sprawl of luxury hotels and discos where prices are inflated. I did not have a nice time there and would not go back even if I had the chance.

avoid Malta at all costs.

iirc it’s a “fault” of the PS3 architecture which makes it practically impossible to emulate. We’ll have to see if the second part of the remastered MSG collection will eventually port it.

Mhhh. I don’t know how to feel about this: it seems like Mobilizon isn’t getting as much traction as other federated services.

Ulysses, Siddharta, On the Road.

I have been using Koler for a while, but my experience with it has been very buggy and confusing. Is there any alternative other than waiting for Fossify’s Dialer?

I did know about LibreLingo, but it still feels like it's taking really small steps! And the other alternatives don't seem to offer the semi-holistic experience that Duolingo provides.

Do you think a send to Kindle option might be too different from a generic "send to e-reader" one? I have a Kobo and it's so sad to see only Pocket being integrated into it.
