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.
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?
