Simplicity isn't simple
Friday, May 12, 2023
As I'm getting older I tend to appreciate more and more simple and essential things, both in life and technology. Year after year I realized that tech companies tend to overcomplicate their products with tons of functionalities that only few people really use. Selling a product as the best in the market is not enough if I've to spend months understanding how this product works. A long learning curve will probably let those companies loose customers.
Will metaverse be a place to avoid?
Thursday, May 11, 2023
While there are some interesting applications for the metaverse (e.g. remote working), there are also a lot of risks related to this possible future web development. Many companies including META are investing a lot of money to bring metaverse into reality. Reason is simple: metaverse is a kind of Second Life (do you remember it?) with steroids. A virtual world packed with crypto wallets that will let you buy and sell virtual things and that allows big tech companies to take a step further on targeting ads to you.
Why blogging is still cool?
Wednesday, May 10, 2023
There are several reasons that make blogging a good choice still Today. Let's focus on three of them. 1. You can control everything Colours? Themes? No problem, you can decide everything with no constraints. 2. Indipendence If you are self hosting your blog then you're the boss. If you don't want to self host your blog a good solution may be a platform like Write.as / Writefreely that offers you a great way to blog without getting crazy.
What's a book blurb?
Tuesday, May 9, 2023
I guess I'm not the only one who has seen many book blurbs without knowing their name. They're on many books, promoting them (yes, it's marketing!): A blurb is a short promotional piece accompanying a piece of creative work. It may be written by the author or publisher or quote praise from others. Source: Wikipedia If you are interested in book blurbing then you can read this article: https://lisaferland.com/book-blurb/
AI is here to stay
Monday, May 8, 2023
AI technology has many problems (like every new revolutionary technology) and there are many boundaries to put on them. Anyway I believe AI technology cannot be completely stopped, just regulated. There are many decision to be taken by governments, but that's part of the game.

Is content still the king?
Sunday, May 7, 2023
With the upcoming AI revolution and integration with Bing, Google & Co. the paradigm underlying search queries will change. AI will reply to user questions with a natural language without the need of providing a list of websites as happened till now. This may change the way we access the web, replacing the idea behind it forever.
Writing is a good habit
Friday, May 5, 2023
Thinking is a good habit too. That's why I'm mixing them together in this sort of microblog. There is only one simple rule here: there are no rules!
Blogging is a marathon
Wednesday, May 3, 2023
If you want to become a blogger you've to remind yourself that it's a long jouney and not a short run. Long term commitment is needed for your blog to reach an audience. Keep it in mind!
Wandering thougths

“Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.” Plato Sometimes I feel a stranger for myself. I think our inner self is more complicated than we usually think.
Perché fallire fa bene
Monday, May 1, 2023
“Il successo non è definitivo, il fallimento non è fatale: è il coraggio di continuare che conta”. – Winston Churchill Ogni volta che falliamo in qualcosa impariamo a evitare lo stesso errore. Inoltre, il fallimento insegna la resilienza. Ecco perché il fallimento fa parte del processo di apprendimento umano ed è una pietra miliare del metodo scientifico.
Is there an age for political retirement?
Monday, May 1, 2023
💡 Disclaimer: this post may be controversial in some way. Politics (with a capitol P) should shape the future of a nation and new generations. That's why is somehow strange that political leaders are often elder people. I've nothing against it, I believe maturity and experience are very important in politics, but leadership must take decisions that will impact the future for the coming years (or decades). I guess there is the need to involve young citizen to decision that will impact their life and future families.
Out for a walk
Saturday, April 29, 2023
It seems that Today the weather is quite unsure... That said we decided to go out for a short walk in the surroundings. Sometimes it's hard to remember how pleasant can be to breath fresh air in a natural environment till you do it.
Quite tired
Saturday, April 29, 2023
“My key to dealing with stress is simple: just stay cool and stay focused.” Ashton Eaton Last working week was very hard and I'm quite tired in these days. Luckily during weekends I can have enough time to charge my batteries again to afford next challenges.
Shrinkflation is bad
Friday, April 28, 2023
“Shrinkflation is the process of items shrinking in size or quantity, or even sometimes reformulating or reducing quality, while their prices remain the same or increase.” Source: Wikipedia The process of reducing quantity (or quality) of a product trying to keep the same price level is not (in general) a good commercial strategy in my humble opinion. Why shrinkflation exists Inflation is hitting raw material and energy costs, that's why producing the same quantity of a product costs more to companies.

Being curius
Wednesday, April 26, 2023
Curiosity played a big role in our human history. Without being curious many things would have never been discovered. Currently our stressed way of living is not promoting curiosity. So my aim is to be more curius and you should try to do the same too!

Switching from ME to WE
Tuesday, April 25, 2023
I got married around 10 years ago. At the very beginning it was somehow difficult to change my way of thinking from the “single style” to a new one in which my wife was part of the game. Nowadays I'm so tight to my wife that it is quite hard for me to do things without her. That's the magic of love.

Is Fediverse becoming more Twitter style?
Monday, April 24, 2023
I joined the fediverse in 2018 (plus or menus) and I've seen all the changes that happened through the years. At the very beginning it was only a nerd niche of early adopters, while nowadays more and more people are quitting Twitter to join a Mastondon instance. People are using it like Twitter and at the same time claiming it is too similar to Twitter. Technology can help, but the real problem is how people are using it.

Non ci sono più le bici di una volta
Sunday, April 16, 2023
Ho letto un interessante articolo sul blog luca ludd che illustra come anche un mezzo come la bicicletta stia diventando sempre meno sostenibile. E' sempre curioso osservare quanto il progresso a volte sia in grado condurci in una direzione totalmente opposta a quella verso cui dovremmo tendere.

Trasferimento in corso
Saturday, April 1, 2023
Sto trasferendo qui il contenuto del mio vecchio blog personale, per questo motivo potreste incappare in “cose strane” come link non funzionanti o altro. Vi prego di perdonarmi sin d'ora, ma ho pensato che sarebbe stato un peccato perdere tutti i miei vecchi articoli visto che potrebbero ancora interessare a qualcuno. Ho quindi deciso di spostarli in questo spazio online così che troverete raggruppati in un unico luogo i post che ho pubblicato negli ultimi anni.
I social network hanno un costo
Sunday, February 26, 2023
Gestire un server costa. I server devono essere in grado di far fronte a migliaia e migliaia di richieste concomitanti da parte degli utenti e di caricare testi, immagini e video. Mentre utilizzate Twitter, Facebook, Instagram o TikTok non state dando direttamente i soldi a loro, ma state concedendo i vostri dati personali e la vostra attenzione sui loro annunci. È così che li pagate per offrirvi un servizio “gratuito”.
