Degrowth: a dead end or the way out? Capital’s future scam
Aurora Despierta In the series Prospects for Degrowth This article by the Spanish writer Aurora Despierta is her adaptation (highly summarised for translation into English), for the series Prospects for Degrowth, of the original article: Decrecer ¿callejón o salida?

'Governments like Spain and others are doing what many had not expected only years ago: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is powerfully advocating for the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, an extensive trade deal in place since 2000, due to “the catastrophic situation of genocide.”'
'If more such governments were to adopt a similar, uncompromising stance, Israel would be [stopped] from acquiring the .. weapons it uses to carry out .. genocide.'

Interesting background on Spain’s grid blackout. A series of small issues and manual fixes that made it worse…. Recovery in a few hours was impressive. Overall that sounds like a fairly typical outage to me. https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/0

Bad thing about Lamine's brilliance is... he plays for Barcelona. Good thing is... this time, such a player is Spanish.

Newly daylighted Canyon Creek brings lost habitat back to Spanish Banks

Ein Bericht zur #Netzstörung in #Spanien und #Portugal im April zeigt, dass die Ursache ein Zusammenspiel technischer Fehler bei der Netzstabilisierung war.
The technological world we live in sucks because of illegal practices such as programmed obsolescence.
In this video (in Spanish, but you can use the subtitles) we see an example: vending machine controller boards are programmed to turn off the machine screens at a certain time. The fix? A simple reprogramming of the bios to reset the counter back to zero. No hardware change, no electronic repair per se, nothing. It's ridiculous, grotesque and disgusting.
The ACLU claims we still have rights. I’m skeptical about that. But this might help someone, so I’m going to share it. #KnowYourRights #ICE #AmericanGestapo

I just ran across a video with a Spanish title on YouTube, and I was surprised to see that the audio was in English. I thought the title got translated from English to Spanish or something like that.
It was narrated with a very monotone and boring AI voice. Then I noticed a "version with automatic dub" tag under the title and I checked the settings.
There were two audio tracks. I switched to the Spanish one... and holy fuck. It went from a super monotone AI English voice to the origina…
Guaraní is one of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in the Americas.
A mother tongue of roughly six and half million people—in particular, in Paraguay.
There, most Paraguayans speak Guaraní or a mixture of Guaraní and Spanish, regardless of whether or not they are Indigenous Guaraní, mestizo, or white.
Paraguay is the only country in the Americas where a Native American language has resisted assimilation into Spanish or Portuguese,

After 2½ weeks off (a beautiful 11-night cruise to Bruges and ports along the Portuguese and Spanish coasts), I've had a reasonably good first day back in work. Managed to clear / triage my inbox before going out-of-office again as I'm attending a conference for the next few days in Harrogate.
Which lets me ask the questions: Onde estš Harrogate? Où est Harrogate? Wo ist Harrogate?... etc.

For hundreds of years, the Spanish banned the Incan Festival of the Sun—the Andean New Year.
But since the middle of the 20th century, Inti Raymi has been back.
Today, communities, cities, towns and even universities hold Inti Raymi celebrations.
They make offerings, light fires and incense. They say prayers to Pachamama and Inti, the sun. They sing and dance.
And it’s not just a celebration. It is an act of resistance

If there's anything we could learn from yesterday's #SpainBlackout is that running software on the cloud that could run locally... is a terrible idea.
#LocalFirst software should be prioritised by companies and public administrations.
I don't think Spanish people will learn the lesson this time (I'm Spanish, so I know what I'm talking about from first hand experience).
I foresee some small groups will react, and start spreading the word, but it will take many other disasters like this one for people to finally understand.

When Catherine of Aragon (1485-1536),
the youngest child of the newly dominant Spanish rulers Ferdinand and Isabella.,
was 3, her parents contracted her to marry Arthur, Prince of Wales, the heir to the Tudor king Henry VII in order to strengthen Spain's alliances,
since Henry's kingdom was a longstanding trade partner and an enemy of Spain's greatest enemy, France.
For the next decade Catherine had the best humanist education available,
