I often spend more time customizing than writing… 😇
I was able to follow micro.camp only for a few time Yesterday, but the conversation was really interesting.
Discuss without discussion
Friday, May 19, 2023
I agree with postpsychosis, we usually tend to discuss without discussing. That's make sense to me especially because we are immersed in a society always online.

Why I like to wake up early
Thursday, May 18, 2023
Lately I started to appreciate to wake up early in the morning. From my point of view it's one of my personal life hacks. The reasons why I really like to be an early riser are several: I have more time for myself; I go to bed early in order to wake up early; I spend less time in traffic to go to work.
After a couple of days let me say Micro.blog community seems to be awesome. I’m seriously thinking to definitely move here.
My first defense against data breaches
Wednesday, May 17, 2023
“Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.” Sun Tzu When we talk about security there are many good practices you can follow in order to minimize the risk of being hacked (strong passwords, 2FA, etc..). One of them is being updated about past and present data breaches. For this reason I use haveibeenpwned.com, a great free service that provides you information if your personal data have been leaked.
Why I switched to Brave Browser
Tuesday, May 16, 2023
At the beginning there were Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator and I've always preferred Netscape Navigator. Then Mozilla released Firefox and I've chosen it as my favourite browser for years. Recently I was forced to switch from Firefox to Brave Browser because I realized that a Chromium based browser is ligther and more reactive on my old notebook. That's not good as I would have preferred to use Firefox, but Mozilla have created a very heavy piece of software.
I’ve recently started to use TickTick as my daily ToDo list. For the moment I prefer to keep away from all the AI mess is out there.
Finally the sun after a weekend of rain, but unluckily it is time to work. 😟
Rolling cryptos
Monday, May 15, 2023
I've always been skeptical about all that crypto enthusiasm that lead us to a sort of a crypto bubble. I'm not against Bitcoin or blockchain, but I'm aware that behind the scenes there is much more speculation than we think. Technology may be good, but the way we use it may be bad.
It’s Monday and there is a full week ahead. I want to face it step by step. 💪
🎵 I’ve recently come across Freya Ridings. I love her voice. 😍

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?

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.
