chous··on Squatting in Spain: Understanding Spain's "okupas" problem
@TotalCrackpot, I completely agree. Thank you.

I'm so fed up with building more houses, when most of them are empty. Every time I take a plane, the landscape speaks for itself.

Spanish here too. Good luck trying to convince us beggars are wealthy. I am speechless now. Blaming the poor seems to be on the rise.

No, they're not. They're called "Pay for the costs of living in society. You're welcome."

Behind a bank-owned home there's always a tragedy, never a trickery.

I don't agree. It's a non-existing problem that the media insists us to convince otherwise, just to force us to pay for useless and absurdly expensive monthly services. Poor people being afraid of other poor people, a classic.

It depends on the actual numbers, which usually don't support the fear coming from the media.

I'm interested in Machine Learning projects, but I have little experience beyond trying out Langchain and Ollama. I've reviewed some Manning books on ML, though.

The best fit for me is when the project requires exploring the unknown unknowns. It usually involves Event Storming sessions, actively involving business experts, and when everybody wants to contribute not only with what they already know, but with what they wished they knew.

The technologies involved are less important to me. I used Java for years. Then Groovy. Then I moved to Smalltalk. Lately I'm working with Python.

I've been involved in managing applications deployed on Kubernetes on AWS, using IaC.

I'm a big advocate of Nix, and use it as much as my skills allow me.

Most people are getting poorer. Their only way out is fighting for a job, but jobs are scarce, and the situation will get worse exponentially due to technological unemployment.

That's not an ideologically-constructed problem.

It's pure logic. What is ideologically-driven, in my opinion, is claiming that "other jobs will be created, so no need to worry". Which implies, on the other hand, that the poor deserve being poor, due to their own negligence, lack of education, or laziness. We don't need to care about them. We provide a capitalist system which rewards the brave and the competent, and it's meritocratic. That is pure ideology, not based on reality.

The Oracle site responds with a 503 when trying to download any JDK 8 artifact.
