@nprofile1q... It’s not a Spanish government official position, but the opinion of the people. Because almost 50K people storming the border is not natural and Ceuta only has a population of 80K or so
I don’t know. There’s a migrant processing centre in Ceuta but not for that many people.
Sanchez has the same issue as Burnham - the press here is 90% right wing and they’re already frothing about the blanket amnesty he pushed through for undocumented workers

40,000 people have made their way into Ceuta in the last few days. That is an extraordinary piece of direct action against borders. We need to find ways of building on that. I'm not sure what solidari...
@nprofile1q... Here in Spain, it’s seen as a Moroccan government (inspired) action. The enclave is tiny and cannot handle this influx

@nprofile1q... I’m 1 year older than you, and it’s the same in our friendship circle. More than one a year is no longer unusual but more becoming the norm

If you live in Switzerland you can get a 25Gbit fiber link to your home. That's 25Gbit *symmetrical* - upload *and* download. On a dedicated connection that's yours and yours alone. From multiple prov...
@nprofile1q... Spain have a similar system to Switzerland. Fibre to the house and you can use any provider. Most are around 1Gb symmetrical, but 10Gb is available from 1 company.

Windows 11 is so full of bugs. I know that I am preaching to the converted, but at least when my Mint installation starts doing funny things, someone can teach me how to fix it. (Still trying to get m...

Currently reading ‘The Hospital at the End of the World’ by Justin C. Key on recommendation by @nprofile1q...
I read ‘The World Wasn’t Ready for You’ (a collection of short stories) by the same author but nothing could have prepared me for just how good this book is.

@nprofile1q... Here in Spain we have Bizum which also uses phone numbers. It’s instant and free
It’s so popular, the tax office monitors self employed people for tax evasion using it. Quite recently, a lot of small businesses also accept Bizum, and some large including Amazon
