Rewriting history. When I read 1984, years ago, I felt it was very real, in a scary way. And somehow every we seem closer to it.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning
accessing sites in defiance of the website owner’s wishes, while controversial, is acceptable.
Although not fully agreeing with Cloudflare’s and not being fully comfortable with Perplexity’s procedures, sometimes I feel people are picking convenience and blissfully ignoring all the potential impacts of AI.
Some people are defending Perplexity after Cloudflare ‘named and shamed’ it
Like anyone, I use paid apps, but also free ones. And a thing that really annoys me is apps that flaunt the “free forever”, but silently cripple and remove features from their free tier… I call it the Evernote Effect.
Setting up single sign on is always fun, besides all the endless call to do something in the Authenticator app.
Device must comply with your organization’s compliance requirements
Which ones? We won’t tell you…
Kind of missed the bandwagon of Mozilla shutting down Pocket. Although I loved it and used it for years, I think I have it covered from now on, except for one thing: how can I read saved articles on my Kobo?…
Unfortunately, we cannot change the email address associated with your account. If your email address changes, please create a new account using your new email.
I find incredibly strange when someone doesn’t allow an account’s email address update, mostly because it sounds very lazy and I start to wonder what else didn’t they want to do…
It’s 2025 and I still think Google Inbox was far superior to regular Gmail, and still want it back…
I already lost time on how many times I got stuck in the Microsoft Teams animation when trying to join a meeting…
Yesterday’s #twittlis, the monthly meetup that’s been going since forever, since Twitter actually was cool!
Já que está dissolvido não precisam ir todos, sei lá, aqueles que nem apreciam o dia…
Parlamento vai celebrar o 25 de Abril “como todos os anos” | Assembleia da República | PÚBLICO
Not going anywhere, it’s raining outside…
Was cleaning up my Spam folder and had a few “I’m a hacker, I have access to your data, send me X in bitcoin” emails in there. Out of curiosity went to check a few of those wallets, one had around $1000 and other $2500. That’s really, really easy money…
“(…) perhaps a country that actually wants oursiders.”
More than the actual effectiveness Spain’s decision, which is a valid conversation, the condescending, almost white-saviour tone of this is amazing. As if we should welcome the money brought by the foreign rich man…
“Spain Has Lost Its Mind. A 100% Real Estate Tax is Your Sign to Move Elsewhere“
Annoying when Atlassian thinks people are getting too comfortable in their tools, and decides to shake things up and give a “new enhanced experience” that feels like you’re using a brand new tool…
It has been a strange few days, with the Meta owned services slowly moving closer to become X. Another blunt reminder that we must move away from these centralized services, that depend on the whim of their owner, into something more open, more decentralized, more transparent and where the user owns its data. This is very uncomfortable and somehow painful, but means transitioning from X, Facebook, WhatsApp to Mastodon, BlueSky, Signal, etc.
While I’m still the “old social media”, and kind of active, I’ve been much more present in this more decentralized and privacy conscious side of the internet, and that’s a trend to continue in this weird near future. Except on Signal, because it’s complicated to move people away from WhatsApp, but there’s still hope to change that this year!
I really big reality check of being back to work is being lost on where that feature is in JIRA’s new layout…
A quantidade de publicidade da Starlink em português de Portugal que anda a aparecer na rede do pássaro ultimamente é impressionante. Aposto que o padrinho deve fazer um desconto.
Está oficialmente aberto o Exodus Aveiro Fest, com o tradicional bife com alho do Zico!
Geoguessr is going to remove the free tier next year. Nothing against it, but not likely to subscribe, because for me being able to only do 3 quizzes a day actually was a feature.
