Reminder #37474 to not judge other people’s work without first being curious about their context. We all do an amazing job without pressure or deadlines. But being in the trenches with people pulling you in a dozen different high priority directions is tough. The important thing is to ship high quality products fast.

“Instead of making something fun, make a system that makes fun things happen” Loving the idea of creating a system with the emergent property of Fun https://youtu.be/N-dPDsLTrTE?si=gdmjFnvyt4NNw9ET

It's been a while since I found a fascinating online community that I'd love to be active in. I'm into the intersection of XR, decentralization and AI, techno-optimist, solarpunk, and people who also value emotional and artistic expression. Any suggestions? Thinking of maybe starting one.

Sure there's a new Taylor Swift album, but have you checked out Pearl Jam's?

Ideal game lengths: 10-20h is enough for a great story and a smallish world. Ideal for busy moments 20-30h is the optimum length. Enough to go deep into the world and not so long that you need a year or to ignore responsibilities to finish it.

The Walking Man is a beautiful manga about contemplation. A great companion to the movie Perfect Days. If anybody knows more mangas like this, please let me know 😊 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/684533.The_Walking_Man

Spatial videos work really well on Quest. It sucks that the library is not automatically synced and you need to upload 5 by 5, but this is an amazing feature on iPhone 15 Pro and I'm glad I get to enjoy it without Vision Pro. Definitely going to record even more now

I work a lot watching mixes or live shows on Youtube. Just became a fan of Milky Chance's mixtapes of their music while driving around a place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3b3igd3zUg

At that point where many people are helping me out and I feel super grateful. I wish I had more to offer back and pay it forward.

Meta should just redo the whole Quest OS. Start from 0, focus on 1-2 use cases. One being launching applications super fast. The other possibly being doing that with friends. The OS should be mixed reality first. Productivity should stay as an experiment until they match AVP's resolution

Recently, to start or stop a habit, I found really useful to think "I am a person who does X" or "I am not a person who does X" when I'm about to avoid doing that new habit or I'm going to fall back again to a bad habit. It helps me actually picture myself as the outcome of those habits and makes it more real.

OpenAI's release pace is insane. I wish they still respected the "Open" in their name

I feel like the process of finding one's home is closely aligned to finding oneself. I'm getting closer and wrote a post about my recent journey on this topic: https://albertoelias.substack.com/p/falling-out-of-love-with-madrid-and Would love to hear what makes a place feel like home to you

I finally have a personal website again. This is a project that I've started and abandoned multiple times throughout the years, but I gave it a good push last week and it's out. https://albertoelias.me Let me know what you think!

Loving how channels are set up here. So easy to find and manage, and it blends very nicely with the timeline.
