Today, in Murcia.

Undoubtedly, one of the major highlights of my professional career. What an experience to present the @fomatplay.bsky.social project at the EU parliament. Thanks to @perez-paredes.bsky.social for giving me the chance and to @paguado.bsky.social for the warmth and the wise advice.

I haven't logged in for several years but this was the nudge i needed, maybe you do too? Academia dot edu was both such a good idea initially ("facebook for academics"), later a place where people who found specific repositories too confusing went, then eventually a dated + dead place

If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

Hi, congrats for the work. I am running the app and have not found the possibility of uploading more than one text file. Will you implement multiple file processing? How much text is the app able to process? 1Mb at a time? Thank you.
