The streaming industry is so broken that even though I'm paying for Netflix, I can't watch the One Piece Live Action in the Japanese nor Latin American Spanish dubs.

Can someone remind me why that isn't possible?

I'm back to Barcelona after a couple of months in Japan, and it was great!

It was my first time doing something called a "mini-life", and I think I'll be doing it again. You can read about my experience here: https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/working-from-japan

I'll be in Tokyo most of July and August, let me know if you're around and want to meet up!

This week I attended #penpotfest and I enjoyed it a lot! It was great to meet a community where Developers, Designers, and Open Source come together. I'll definitively pay more attention to @penpot!

If you're curious, check out the recordings at https://penpotfest.org

I have sent a couple of letters to myself in the future and it's always been useful to see things more clearly. You know, all that about overestimating the short term and underestimating the long term.

I've been using futureme.org, in case you're curious to try it yourself!

What's going on with #Reddit at the moment is awesome. I hope it ends well and I hope to see a lot more of this in the future. Ideally, communities will eventually migrate to making better technology choices though. But hey, it's a start.

Yes please! More lifetime, and less subscriptions. And not just for content sites, I've been using apps for years that I haven't paid a cent because of the subscription model. But I would buy them in an instant. Don't underestimate "finished products".

If you enjoyed The Social Dilemma documentary, I recommend watching this: The A.I. Dilemma

Also, be careful if you're using faker-js because it is not tree-shakeable either! I found out about this because using it in one of my tests increased my production bundle to 3MB O.o https://github.com/faker-js/faker/issues/1791

#TIL none of my libraries were actually tree-shakeable because I wasn't declaring "sideEffect": true in the package.json 😅️

I'm going to #MWC23 and #4YFN23 next week in Barcelona, is someone I know going as well?

(Or even if I don't know you but you want to chat! :D)
