Almost 22 years have passed since this photo was taken, in my university-era bedroom.
I had already graduated and I was doing things I truly enjoyed.
I was about to move out, even though nobody knew it (I was taking notes on my Palm about what to pack, but messiness was the norm, so no one got suspicious). I also had a slightly swollen gum, so I was smiling without showing my teeth, and I had mouthwash on the desk.
And that smile was one of mysterious satisfaction, anticipating what was about to happen soon.

Perhaps the most enigmatic Italian smile since the Mona Lisa.

@pfr Yes, this works for me, too. I immediately use a cover (because the only time I didn't use a cover, many years ago, it fell and a dent appeared). But from time to time I change the screen protector and cover and it feels like I have a new phone!

@h3artbl33d Thank you, my friend. I try to do my best, at least when I can.

Today I had to make a purchase. While looking into it, I discovered that a European electronics chain had the same price as the well-known group that delivers things to your door. I placed the order. Five minutes later, the item was ready for pickup. In the afternoon, I went there at my leisure. No risk of loss or theft, no courier tossing it into the garden without care. A kind young man handed it to me and innocently asked if I needed help setting it up. All at the same price, but with many more smiles and the awareness that I contributed to my “neighbor’s” paycheck.

The older I get, the more I believe that true modernity is valuing human connection.

See you there!

@northernscrub I'm glad it helped!

@FiLiS Thanks!

@NatureMC Thank you!

@afb Thank you! Yes, I did - immediately after, as I couldn't get into a car. But I sold it in 2014 - I just didn't need it anymore

@bsdtv @bsdcan thank you, my friend!

@EnigmaRotor the prices of the Apple hardware are, somehow, lowering. Rumors say that a "cheap" MBP could be introduced soon. So Apple is probably lowering its price point to make profit from the subscriptions.

@Linkshaender Thank you. No, not anymore. But not because of this accident: when I moved away from Bologna, I almost stopped using it (except when going to Bologna) and finally sold it in 2014.

@EnigmaRotor Those tools weren't probably profitable enough. No subscription, no dependencies - so they had to stop. Or the other companies' products just got better so Apple decided to concentrate on other stuff

@EnigmaRotor Yes, it was on NetBSD and it was one of those "set and forget" tools that made Apple the "original" Apple.

@kinghaunst Thank you, Rainer. I'm trying to express my feelings, my memories, my points of view. Sometimes, they're emotional 🙂

@atarifrosch True…

@atarifrosch I agree, but sometimes they don’t really know.

The Weight of a Millimeter

A distracted driver, a motorcycle crash, and the terrifying wait to see if I would ever walk again.

@Linkshaender exactly, an espresso to remember about your espresso. This is nice 🙂

Have a great week, Armin!

@futzle Same here. Sometimes I think it is like a Groundhog year
