"Fiquei sem nada." Dois meses depois das tempestades, somam-se os prejuízos e os apoios não aparecem Dois meses depois das tempestades, as populações mais afetadas continuam a tentar reerguer-se. Queixam-se da falta de apoio, dos prejuízos que ainda não conseguem calcular e sentem-se "sozinhos".

Microsoft on Reddit won't like it when you suggest Linux as a better alternative, specially when they're talking about adding AI slop and bloat to all their apps, including explorer! I used Linux as a desktop for years, and then FreeBSD, and I'm getting ready to switch again this year!

Die EU-Chatkontrolle kommt – durch die Hintertür der Freiwilligkeit Die EU-Staaten haben sich auf eine gemeinsame Position zur Chatkontrolle geeinigt. Datenschützer warnen vor massiver Überwachung. Was blüht uns?

Chat Control is set to move forward. Denmark was convinced the vote would fail, so they postponed and restructured the bill. Whatever it takes, as long as it passes, right? Is this democracy, or authoritarianism? #StopChatControl www.telepolis.de/article/Die-...

For anyone out there managing #OpenSource projects on #GitHub, how common is it for people to comment on your #Issues to try and signal some sort of contribution, without adding anything useful? You know, like making a blatantly redundant suggestion. How do you handle it?

Larry Ellison once predicted 'citizens will be on their best behavior' amid constant recording. Now his company will pay a key role in social media | Fortune “Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on,” Ellison said last year.

In the EU, there's Chat Control under discussion and, in the US, they're birthing a dystopia as well. Authoritarianism is on the rise everywhere. Governments don't have our best interest at heart. What we need is tech savvy people capable of creating independent systems. fortune.com/2025/09/28/l...

Chat Control is back & we've got only a few weeks to stop the EU CSAM scanning plans. | Tuta The EU Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse, first published in May 2022, has become the "most criticized law of all time". Here's how to stop it now!

Germany is back to UNDECIDED. If Chat Control passes, this will be the end of the EU and the beginning of a police state, where privacy has no place and everybody must pay for the crimes of a few. #StopChatControl netzpolitik.org/2025/chatkon...

A few weird things that bring me happiness. One is the Chicago Manual of Style, with the Oxford commas, and non-spaced em dashes. The other is the beauty and simplicity of means, particularly the artithmetic and geometric means, where the first adds to divide, and the second multiplies to nth-root.

The #EU plans to remove privacy in your chat conversations and can falsely flag content as illicit. Politicans will be immune and you won't.

I've lost count of how many times they tried to pass something like this. They're trying tire us so they can beat us. If this passes, they're taking away two rights in one go: freedom of speech, and privacy. The sheep agree, safety first. 🐑

The end of the EU will begin with chat control. I'm sure autocracies are laughing at us. The "for your safety" argument is the way to turn a democracy into an authoritarian regime. If you don't want the European values to go down the drain and turn into a police state, go here: fightchatcontrol.eu

I just lost access to uBlock Origin and AutoPlayStopper on my Chrome installation. Up until now it had been possible to circumvent this, but not anymore. I was waiting for Brave to add tab group sync to the iOS app, but I might just switch before that happens. It's just freakin' annoying.

An image of a computer science geek, with glasses, sitting on a rocking chair, watching the end of the world (nuclear war) in the horizon, while drinking a summer beverage, with a tiny umbrella on the glass. The geek is dressed with a Hawaiian shirt, unbuttoned, with a t-shirt underneath. He has a slight metalhead look as well.

One thing AI does quite well is help express how I feel.

Deep down the purpose never really changed. I always end up where I'm meant to be, learning and sharing knowledge. Right now, I'm doing technical content creation, but making it free also makes it hard to make it sustainable. How can I make living from this? Dunno, but I owe it to myself to try.

A lot has happened since COVID, which was also the time when I finished my PhD. Besides having tried (and failed) to build a startup, I also worked as a Senior Data Scientist for 1.5y. Now, I'm mostly adrift, in a kind of limbo, where I've been rejecting corporate work, while looking for a purpose.
