I’m a biologist, so all of them. Yes, even cockroaches (they’re so cute when eating cookies ❤️), parasites like horsehair worms and Demodex folliculorum, spiders (all of them!), mosquitoes and centipedes.

Three steps:

1. If you can afford it, upgrade to a SSD.
2. Install Linux Mint XFCE or Fedora XFCE.
3. Use Min Browser. In my tests, with a netbook with an Atom processor and 2GB RAM, it’s infinitely faster than Firefox or any other Chromium.

Profit.

Obsidian. I can write notes, write papers, organize my time and ideas, and connect them with each other. I can make my workflow as simple or complex as I want. And the fact that every note is just a markdown file makes it even better: it’s a guarantee that I’ll never be locked in a proprietary ecosystem.

Books, cats, coffee and drawing/painting. I could also say “working”, as my job is reading, learning and being amazed (I’m a biologist).

The Fifth Element. And I hope it stays tat way.

• American McGee’s Alice
• Stronghold (the first one)

I’m not a gamer, but these two games are almost indispensable for me. Yes, there are Madness Returns and other Strongholds, but I’ve never really played them.

I’m not that much of a gamer, but I remember many years ago I bought a Spawn game for the PSOne because I wanted to buy something and Spawn was still somewhat cool (don’t know if it still is, really). It was slow, ugly, with awkward controls and whenever you confronted an enemy the game play changed into something like Tekken or Bloody Roar, but with much worse controls. After you defeated the enemy it changed back to a 3rd person perspective. I didn’t even make it to the first boss, I simply put it away and went to play Syphon Filter for the 30th time.

Panspermia, by melodysheep. Part of his “Life Beyond” series. Highly recommended if you like science, biology, astrobiology and existential crisis.
