I'm not criticizing their work or passion, au contraire, it's a spectacular effort the developers are doing, developing an OS with the same API than Windows 2000 from scratch. For me they are giants.
We should be more critic with respect to what sources of information we read about something as serious as a pandemic.
On one hand, if Catalans are independent they will be isolated (no EU members thanks to Spain's, and maybe France's veto).
On the other hand, if Catalans are not independent, there will be protests about this, criminality, and maybe even terrorism.
If you like Spain, I would vouch for Galicia (if you like cold climate with rain) or Malaga (international city with mild climate all year).
What I'd also advice all "normal" citizens is to take their part in slowing the global warming by doing simple actions like:
- Recycling cardboard/crystal/plastics/metal.
- Buying local produce.
- Buying second hand stuff: books, clothes, etc.
- Buying hybrid cars, and when there was enough electric-stations, electric cars.
- Installing solar panels in your house.
- Improving the insulation of your house.

Side question: how do you all come up with ideas for side projects? I don't know if my life is dull (or I'm dull), but I have no creative power in my mind to give birth to great ideas, only small libraries, that well, interest few people.
There was a failed coup by the PSOE and left-leaning political groups in 1934: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_1934
They failed and the next two years were a sequence of minor scale violent events that ended in a war in 1936. Of course, the coup by the military forces is not justified, but the caotic situation made them choose what they thought was the "lesser of two evils".
The Second Spanish Republic was a failed try to make a modern country whithoug having some kind of agreement between different political parties. All political parties were extremely polarized, the first coup failed (1934), and the second one (1936) succeeded.
The civil war started 40 years of iron-fist totalitarian right-leaning regime (allied to USA). Fortunately it's been 50 years since that ended, although some politicians (soem in PSOE and almost all in Podemos) like to bring the topic up again, and again, and again... Only for divisive reasons and electoral motives.

Edit: However, fighting because of what faction was worse in a conflict that ended more than 80 years ago is nonsense. This comment was made only to remind all that both factions made war crimes.
Franco supporters' oppression aginst the losers side ("Republicans" and Communists) was worse after the war, from what I know.
Both sides reached out for allies and got resources, men and machineary from them. National military front got in bed with Nacional-Socialsm and Fascism, and Republican with URSS.
Hello HN friends. I stayed in a company for 8 years and feel severily bad-skilled (I know it was the worst mistake in my life). The point is that I feel like I have 1 year of experience repeated 8 times. Last years I worked in a startup (defunct) and in a medium-sized company with success (project with multinational company as client), and from I know this project is now the most important one...
> The city came into existence after the discovery of silver there in 1545 and quickly became famous for its wealth. Within three decades its population surpassed 150,000, making it the largest city in the New World. The population declined from a peak of 160,000 about 1650 as silver production waned, and a typhus epidemic in 1719 claimed the lives of some 22,000 residents. By the early 19th century, Potosí had fewer than 20,000 inhabitants, but the subsequent rise of tin mining again spurred growth.
Chile and Argentina started a war campaign against them [2][3][4]. The Mapuches call it the Last Massacre (La última masacre in Spanish)[1].

I think is the same with the Columbus statue removal there[2]. Art is a product of its time and if the times were racist/violent/whatever, the art will be so also. Indeed it would be a good way to learn History.
