¡TZAG fediverso!
Hoy ha sido un día rarísimo. Por primera vez en muchos años, he prolongado el comenzar las vacaciones hasta casi el cierre físico de la uni. Y me he despedido con cierta angustia por la separación: de mis compis, de la rutina... coincide que les estudiantes que estaban de prácticas también se han despedido hoy. Ayer nos regalaron una cena muy divertida en su apartamento... qué majes.

Vim has a rough learning curve, where you have to learn a lot of keyboard mappings to even use it. This works out because I use Vim many hours per day every day, so the initial investment makes sense.
But for other random apps, the same philosophy don't work out. I use a PDF viewer which I use twice a week. I zoom once a week. I rotate once ever two months. Investing time in learning obscure mappings never pays off. Give a little toolbar with basic actions. In the style of Windows 95 apps.

Trump says Jeffrey Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from him when she worked at Mar-a-Lago spa
She was one of the most prominent Epstein abuse survivors, led the charge for his arrest, and died by suicide a few months ago. It is reported that she was 17 years old at the time she was working at Trump's Spa when Epstein "stole" her.

Virginia Giuffre had said she had a summer job as a towel attendant at Mar a Lago. It was there this Ghislaine Maxwell approached her. Ghislaine brought up the the massage training book Virginia was reading, and asked if she was willing to come to Jeffrey's home to give one.
Trump lied in 2019, saying he kicked Jeffrey out of Mar-a-Lago for making a pass at a member's daughter.
I believe Virginia Giuffre - RIP.
