Una rayita mas al tigre: las coaliciones son un asco

Posted on by

El sistema electoral mexicano es un asco y lo digo esta vez por las llamadas “coaliciones”. ¿Cuál es su proposito?, en mi opinión, solo mantener a flote a partidos políticos que no tienen la fortaleza o un canditado lo suficientemente popular para obtener el mínimo de votos necesarios para mantenerse a flote.

Tambien creo que sirven para generar incertidumbre entre los votantes sobre como aplicar el voto, tan así que a estas alturas muchos no saben como votar y en varios medios se trata de aclarar este problema: read more

#Apple have a #serious 2FA issue

Posted on by

I have two factor authentication for my Apple ID, the problem is that any device with my Apple ID is able to get the code for the 2FA, so, if I try to log in in the computer it will prompt the code… in the same computer I’m trying to log in !!!

To me this is an issue, what’s the point of having 2FA if the code appears right in the device where I’m trying to log in?. It must appear on any other device except the one I have in front of me.

Would making drugs “legal” in our country do something better?

Posted on by

TLDR; Yes, with some caveats.

Long Story, well in many places they are illegal, there are some permissible laws that allows you to use them for either medical or entertainment at certain places, the purpose of this is to reduce the demand, supply and risk for users.

The problem in a country like Mexico is how people is educated. Just like beer, many Mexicans use to go every Friday to the liquor store (Oxxo) and get a couple (maybe more) of six-pack of their favourite beer and get drunk as hell.

Maybe with some more education we can make what we do now with tobacco, where it’s  allowed in “ventilated places”, restaurants, coffee shops or anything closed is now allowed except bars which of obvious reasons it’s allowed. read more

GIMP now hosted by GNOME on GitLab

Posted on by

Many projects are now migrating from github to #GitLab, this is not because GitHub is a bad service, it’s just because its being acquired by Microsoft.

Even when the official statement says that GitHub will operate independent and with the same policies used right now, many (me included) don’t trust Microsoft. then.. the need to move away from GitHub.

GNOME already made the transition and GIMP is now in GitLab. Are you moving your projects?. Do you think GitHub will finish like Skype did?. read more

What would you do if Microsoft acquires GitHub??

Posted on by

Quite probably you have a repo in GitHub, and probably the company you work for does too. Aside from the fact that they have to stick with the terms and policies that already govern GitHub, what would you do ?.

For many Linux/OpenSource users this is a dilemma, Microsoft is the “enemy” because for so many years Microsoft tried to kill Linux and now is using it in their cloud offering just because no-one beats Linux in the server (or VPS or whatever the fuck buzz-name you choose), and it seems they like to embrace-extend-extinguish Linux. read more

Así Tapachula ayer….

Una forma fácil de:

  • Tener al pueblo entretenido y feliz para que no den lata.
  • Hacer que el pueblo pague por el entretenimiento (entradas, comida o suscripción a un canal de paga o club).
  • Jóvenes que prefieren apuntarle a ser jugador de futbol en lugar de desarrollar habilidades que darán mas fruto a su país.

No digo que el futbol sea cosa del demonio, pero vamos, ganaron, chido, felicitaciones, y bueno, lo que sigue.

Mexico is one of those magical places where you can get 8 hamburgers for $16 USD…

Posted on by

Thanks to our shitty economy where society have to lower it’s prices in order to have a sell. I know it could be familiar to have a 2  or 3 dollar burger in 1st world countries, but honestly, I’ve got 4 tortas (like a hamburger), and 4 hotdogs for just $160 MXN (less than  8 USD), and all my family have a meal!.

Don’t get me wrong, they were perfect, they were delicious… and the price is what we are used to. I would likely pay more for them if (again) our shitty economy were a bit better. read more

GitLab Web IDE now open source

Posted on by

Useful for quick edits, maybe not a full featured IDE (I don’t know why it is called Web IDE instead of Web CodeEditor or something…) because it lacks of several features of the complete IDE, for instance you cannot do debugging in it, just an editor but still useful.

I like the idea that this “web IDE” is Open Source, is available for everyone and it will be integrated in many other parts of gitlab.

Tiro de gracia a contribuyentes, el SAT va tras tarjetazos

Posted on by

Así que básicamente lo que propone el SAT es que dejes de usar tarjetas o te friegan mas… La verdad que no creo que lo que hace el Servicio de Administración Tributaria sea correcto. Si bien lo presentan como una forma de aplicar impuestos a quienes los evaden, también se pasan llevando por las patas a quienes no lo hacen.

Y vamos siendo honestos, hay impuestos por todo.. Si compro una antena, un aparato eléctrico, si compro X cosa generalmente hay un impuesto, vaya, incluso en la gasolina hay 3 impuestos y que son impuestos sobre impuestos. read more

Trying iOS 11.3 beta 2… getting back a. Bit of the speed

Posted on by

I see iOS 11 like Windows Vista / 8 were to Windows 7/10, the unfinished version of the OS. The banana product.. send it green, let it mature in customers hands.

iOS 11.3 seems to give back the speed of my old iPad mini (2nd gen), the keyboard was specially laggy and I presume it was the OS under powering the CPU. Now it is quite more responsive, although I don’t see any option in the battery section (settings) like in the iPhone.

I think I’ll be fine with a two year period between “mayor” os updates if that period brings really finish, polished OS. read more

Big news.. you can message from your computer… wait, wasn’t that the former way to do that??

Posted on by

With all this mobile thing many companies just refused to support computers as part of their “multi platform “ strategy, Android and iOS is their main target and is something that grind my gears… most popular IM services does not have a native app for the desktop. Sometimes just a web baked interface… sometimes not even that.

Could Google finally be getting serious about taking on iMessage?
