DISPERSION

Many people ask me why I have accounts on multiple diaspora* pods (I currently have seven). When the project launched in 2010, and then passed into community hands in 2012, I was heavily involved, primarily working on translating the interface. I was then absent for an extended period and am now (as I like to say) coming home.
The truth is, since diaspora* is a federated and decentralized network, each pod’s database grows from user interaction. The more interactions there are between users from different pods, the greater the reach of each published post.
I know it’s part of my obsession and my love for diaspora*, but it’s also a way to quietly improve the network.
So don’t worry if I follow you from multiple accounts. :)

DISPERSIÓN

Mucha gente me pregunta por qué tengo cuentas en varios pods de diaspora* (actualmente tengo siete). Cuando se lanzó el proyecto en 2010, y luego pasó a manos de la comunidad en 2012, estuve muy involucrado trabajando principalmente en la traducción de la interfaz. Luego estuve ausente un tiempo prolongado y ahora estoy (como me gusta decir) volviendo a casa.
Lo cierto es que, al ser diaspora* una red federada y descentralizada, la base de datos de cada pod se nutre de la interacción entre los usuarios. Cuando mayor cantidad de interacciones haya entre usuarios de distintos pods, mayor será la dispersión de cada post publicado.
Sé que es parte de mi locura y de mi amor por diaspora*, pero también es una forma de mejorar la red de manera silenciosa.
Así que no se preocupen si los sigo desde varias cuentas. :)

People think the #Matrix was about robots. It wasn't. It was about operating systems.

#Windows is the blue pill.

You take it, and everything stays comfortable. Pretty icons. Friendly sounds. A setup wizard asking if you want to save your soul to the #cloud. Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.

#Linux is the red pill.

You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.

At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.

But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.

No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.

No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.

You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.

You are Neo.

Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.

Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.

Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.

But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.

And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.

Welcome to Linux. There is no spoon. Only #sudo.
