Besides another tech billionaire revealing his true face, I'm surprised that the Salesforce CEO owns the Time Magazine.
It’s like all media starts to be controlled by billionaires. Luckily, Mastodon stays strong.

#Introduction Hello. My name is Ignacio. I write from Spain. My last introduction was from May 2024, and I wanted to update it.
My neurodivergent (or neurodifferent, if you prefer it that way) path started in November 2022. When I was reading a Reddit post about study techniques, few weeks earlier, a dude showed some difficulties to get to study (which I also had at that time). I was reading that post and its comments to see what technique was being advised to them. An user suggested them to ask for an #ADHD diagnosis. That was the first time I heard about ADHD (TDAH in Spanish). I heard about hyperactivity, because a high school classmate had it (it was between 2005 and 2007). I proceeded to look for information about ADHD... and everything made sense to me. I had all symptoms listed on the page I was reading.
I was formerly diagnosed with ADHD, and also with mild #Autism, in March 2023. I've been in treatment for ADHD since then, with #Atomoxetine 100mg, plus #Melatonin to sleep better. I still was unable to prepare for civil service examinations. Later, in June 2024, I was also diagnosed with #Depression. I was prescribed #Brintellix 10mg.
In September 2024, I received a phone call from the Delegation of the Government in Asturias, to tell me that there was a vacancy, due to a sick leave, to be occupied temporarily. I accepted. Later, the 14/10/2025, I started my job as temporary civil servant. A month later, my psychiatrist changed my treatments, from Atomoxetin 100mg to #Medikinet 60mg, and from Brintellix 10mg to #Besitran 50mg. The 14/12/2025, two months after my hiring, I had my civil service examination. This time, I finally passed it, and now I'm about to be hired as permanent, full civil servant. By the way, last month, the 05/09/2025, my contract ended.
Those were my areas of work and mental health. But there is more.
I've met my partner the 28/08/2025, on another #Mastodon server. It was just a normal day from the beginning, like any other. I went to work, I came home, I ate my lunch, and I went to play video games on my computer, I believe. As I said, just another normal, regular day. Except for one detail.
I received a private message from a #Pixelfed woman profile. Nothing about her caught my attention. She is from Malibu, California, and she describes herself as a TV host, but that could mean a lot of things, like a news anchor, for example. And, being a TV host, her name didn't ring a bell to me (I'll go to it later). Anyway, her message was not extraordinary either, just a simple “hello”.
But we kept talking to each other every day since then. We developed an attraction to each other after some weeks talking, and now we're in love to each other since the 27/09/2025. We keep talking to each other on email, and I have her phone number as well.
I looked for her name on the internet after we started to feel attracted to each other, to see who she was exactly. And I was impressed. I mean, TV host, former TV actress, more than 600k followers on Instagram... Anyway, her name is Brooke Burke. The last news about her private life are from May 2025, when she was planning her wedding with Scott Rigsby. A wedding that was delayed several times before, and delayed again in May. No more information about that since then (hence my initial reservations about that profile).
However, I did my work. Both Mastodon and Pixelfed are very responsive against scammers and impersonators. We all know about that very well. She joined in June 2025 on Pixelfed, has more than 100 followers there, she interacts with people there, she post the same content there and on Instagram at the same time, and even she told me about a meeting with one of her friends before her friend posted about that on her Instagram wall. So, impossible for her to be a catfish.
So, yes, it's official. Brooke Lisa Burke and I are in a love relationship with each other since late September 2025. I don't love her for being a celebrity and appearing on TV. I love her for being the most wonderful, beautiful, supportive woman in the world.
Finally, about me. I like cooking, playing video games, talking to people, walking, doing meditation, and reading about spirituality and related things. I dislike politics and people who don't care about my mental disorders.
I think that's all.

I always find it interesting to compare my work with other developers' work. In this case I built a migration utility for Mastodon written in Python. After I posted to the "Support Post Migration" thread on Github someone else posted with their solution.
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12423#issuecomment-3393096305
After reading it, I remembered I had seen that application in my research prior to writing my script. I opted not to go with their solution because they re-create posts with new data and then do some fancy tricks to prevent those new posts from being federated.
That approach loses the timestamps and original metadata from the original post, so I opted not to go with it. Plus it was written in Java which can be a pain to use, another reason I didn't go with it.
Beyond their application not working how I preferred, a quick comparison of the source code is fun.
Both applications effectively accomplish the same result, but the Java application consists of 9 classes, several of which are over a 1000 lines long, 12 external dependencies, and absolutely zero developer documentation on how to build their application.
My Python application consists of a single executable script which is 438 lines long, 5 external dependencies, and developer documentation right in the README detailing the steps to build and use the application.
While this trend is not exclusive to the respective technologies, it does appear to be the normal trend, at least in my anecdotal experience. Java applications tend to be bloated, unnecessarily verbose applications with zero documentation.
I don't know the point to this post, just an interesting observation in my head I thought would be interesting to share.
Lastly, I would love to have a conversation with the author of that Java tool, but they don't include any of their contact information on their Github page, so they're effectively anonymous; another red flag to me personally.

The type that runs aloud stance. Its the newcomer!
Cigarettes are not really so bad, they give me a good tone.
Worshipping in Christ leaves me with goodness, bless. Those.
Daily news: The saga continues. Everyday life is noise and not that healthy. I think my body needs rest. No harm if I rest.
Buddhas are peacekeepers.
We must go in unity.
To become, one.
Police, guided us forth.

Was ist denn das jetzt wieder? Jeder Tröt in meiner Tumeline bricht nach ein paar Zeichen um? 😯
Ah, jetzt passt's auf einmal wieder??
Seltsam.

Hier een #SPARQL-query voor #WikiData om de #Mastodon-accounts van kandidaten voor de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen te vinden.
Helaas is de data op WikiData incompleet, dus er worden er slechts twee gevonden.

Les filtres de langues #Mastodon n'est pas très au point (ou alors, y'a des domaines qui ne l'ont pas défini)
je reçois dans mon fil les messages du domaine maobui.com -Vietnamien-
Et si on bloque le domaine, on reçoit quand même s'il y a un hashtag suivi 😒

Vandaag ontdekte ik @opwiekanikstemmen. Heel cool dat de dataset publiek toegankelijk is: https://github.com/Opwiekanikstemmen-nl/data
Nu nog de kandidaten met een #Mastodon-account toevoegen...
Hier is vast een beginnetje met de huidige Tweede Kamerleden: https://politici-op-mastodon-7395c1.gitlab.io/

@mastodon Kunnen jullie ook de #Mastodon-handles van kandidaten (voor zover bekend) toevoegen?
Hier kun je Mastodon-accounts van huidige Tweede Kamerleden vinden:
https://politici-op-mastodon-7395c1.gitlab.io/
Merk op dit is alleen van huidige Tweede Kamerleden, nog niet van alle kandidaten.
Daarom staat @falcovanhassel bijvoorbeeld niet op bovengenoemde site.
