    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.

    Adoro aqueles directos para noticiários só porque sim. Hoje ao almoço o repórter da RTP enumerou quase todos os jogos entre Portugal e a Polónia, com datas e marcadores. E se há coisa pertinente num directo é onde foi jogada a qualificação do Mundial de 78.

    Another COP conference held in a country wanting to greenwash its oil industry, hosted by its Ministry of Environment, who happened to lead the main oil company for decades… And people still wonder why climate change seems to be on a dead end…

    Isto das eleições americanas podia ser como o festival da eurovisão, cada estado com uma ligação em directo: e os nossos votos vão para…

    When the concert is on Halloween…

    Just saw Google Calendar in dark mode, slowly they’ll get to Gmail… Probably even before I eventually de-Google myself completely…

    Genuine question regarding Omnivore app being bought and phased down: the app is open-source, how feasible is it for the community to fork it?

    Disclaimer: I’m not a user, at most I considered using it at some point.

    Há qualquer coisa de eucaristia nos concertos de Nick Cave, um pouco por haver este piscar o olho a uma vibe gospel, mas sobretudo pela energia e pose de pastor de seita que ele tem.

    Mas o problema é que não sei quando vai ser o próximo dia do culto.

    Having a good work-life balance is the biggest ambition of all.

    ‘Americans just work harder’ than Europeans, says CEO of Norway’s $1.6 trillion oil fund, because they have a higher ‘general level of ambition’

    Mobile snaps from yesterday’s performance of Tiamat at Under The Doom festival, including a special feature of Moonspell’s Fernando Ribeiro (forth, yellow lights photo), and what a trip it was! It’s not the first time I see them live, not even the first time I have the pleasure of having them share stage with Fernando, but being able to be on the first row in a setlist so focused on the iconic Clouds and Wildhoney albums was that special!

    Did a test run on Vivaldi Browser (because Arc Browser stopped working and there are few where I can use columns) and the fact that they have Shein, Temu and Aliexpress on their Speed Dial bookmarks doesn’t make me very comfortable…

    For many reasons (TLDR: lack of time…) I haven’t properly listened GY!BE’s new album. Only today I found time to hit play, a day where it’s dark and rain outside. This can’t be a coincidence.

    Today I had to update my account password and, as expected, was logged of most apps. It’s amazing how in Windows I only had issues logging back with Microsoft Accounts in Microsoft apps… Nothing that reconfigure all from scratch doesn’t fix.

    A Microsoft error message reads "Something went wrong. [1200]" with a blue "Close" button.

    Estava a apanhar tomates e ouvi um estrondo!

    CMtv nunca desilude 😂

    This explanation of Instagram on why I’m seeing a post is a perfect example that, with algorithms, the end-user isn’t that important…

    You’re reminded that you don’t own your data in a Google account every time you try to take it out. Like with Maps. Despite the excellent Google Takeout, the list of locations you saved over the years is exported in a format that consists in name and link to Maps. Which is almost useless…

    Weekend at last, will I finally start reading this?
