Hi! today is #PortfolioDay

My name is Mar. I'm an artist from Galiza and my artwork is inspired by #fantasy, #scifi, mithology and much more. Sometimes I post my photos too.

#introduction

I co-own a software studio,@tooinconsistent together with @siwek and others. We build custom software and our own apps.

Right now we’re building an end-to-end encrypted app for democratic organizations. Think decision-making infrastructure that doesn’t force groups to choose between chaos and hierarchy. (Currently in alpha testing, measuring twice before we launch to avoid data loss. Come say hi if you’re into #encryption and want to help. We plan to make it #opensource, and I will post a bit about our journey.)

I’m also a mother. Motherhood clarified my beliefs and increased my confidence in myself given *gestures wildly around* the world we live in.

I care about #climate , #TechEthics (unfortunately my industry), and urbanism. I’ve come to hate cars. #FuckCars. Too many, too loud, destroying everything good about places. I choose what’s in my power: electric bike, trains, solar, walking, no car for as long as I can avoid it. Not perfect, just trying to do the least harm with what I know.

I’m renovating a 19th century house and thinking a lot about craft, longevity, and respecting what came before while adding new things. I’m trying to let that sensibility permeate into the kind of software we build, to make things that last, for a world still worth inhabiting another 100+ years from now. I’m interested in #SmallWeb, #RightToRepair and similar initiatives.

I’ve lived in five countries by accident, rather than design, and now speak just as many languages, some badly. Bună, hi, bonjour, hoi, dzień dobry.

I garden, read (mostly nonfiction, sometimes #scifi ), write when motherhood allows it, look for beauty in the chaos, am partial to green tea, dark chocolate and have a weakness for #sękacz / #Baumkuchen, and joke that we build software for a world on fire, the antithesis to whatever the tech bros are doing.

Would love to connect with parent-builders, #solarpunk dreamers, #urbanism folks, #IndieWeb people, journalists, creators, critical thinkers. People trying to change the status quo, or at least not make it worse.

Do say hello! 👋

Enigmi semplici. Alcuni passaggi un po' troppo dipendenti dai dadi, prima che dalle scelte del lettore. Regolamento chiaro e lineare. Ogni variazione è ben spiegata durante lo svolgimento e non crea confusione. Storia intrigante. Protagonista ben caratterizzati, ma anche abbastanza neutro da permettere di immedesimarsi.

Uff hacía tiempo que un libro no me dejaba esta sensación. De verdad que no puedo decir si me ha gustado o no. Hay cosas que si, cosas que no... Tienen muchas red flags y violencia extrema contra las mujeres por que si. Creo que hubiera sido una buena idea explicar más algunas cosas como por ejemplo la motivación de Harper... No sé la idea me gusta mucho pero la ejecución ya si eso...
