• I am finding the performance of [[Thunderbird]] to be terrible.
  • Connecting it to Zoho Mail via IMAP.
  • I’m just going through my inbox and deleting emails and it regularly takes a CPU to 100%.
  • Might try Betterbird… but will just stick with the webmail for this for now. Something clearly not right when a webapp is performing better than a desktop app.

• In the absence of time to do much in the way of [[knowledge commoning]] at present, I figure the least I can do is more consistently share my bookmarks.
  • A small contribution, but still better than them sitting privately locally.

• Managed to submit a post for the February carnival: [[Emacs Carnival: Completion]]
  • Quite a rush, but I learned a lot in the process.

• Of any assertion, it can be asked: is it
  • [[True to self]]?
    • Which self?

• Now that I’ve got Emacs back up and running on my phone, I can try and get an entry in for the February Emacs Carnival.

• I had to get a new phone, as my Pixel 5a spontaneously bricked itself.

  • I got a [[Fairphone 6]].
  • I usually get second hand or refurbished phones, but here’s [[My rationale for getting a Fairphone 6]].

• Going through the process of getting things set up on a new phone.

  • My notes in my digital garden are massively helpful for this. Well done past self!
  • They’re a bit scattered though - I’ll try and update them into one page about it..
    • [[Setting up a new phone]].

• Trying out Vulpea.

The things you don't write are left unwritten
The things you don't say, unsaid
The things you don't show, unseen

For how long, maybe?
Until when?

• We had such a beautiful day with [[KM]]! And [[Lady Burup]].
• We went to the gym together for the first time in the morning, and then did a great walk through Zürich hopping from coffee place to coffee place and enjoying the [[sunshine]].
• Yesterday: [[2026-02-23]]

Algún día, algún día
Algún día haremos la revolución
Pero si no ahora, cuándo?

The things you don't say are left unsaid
The things you don't write unwritten
Until one day, maybe?

Las cosas que vimos:
Sucederán, sucederán…

Las jaras, qué jaras?
