The copyright thing doesn’t bother me much, but the absurdly inflated hype and pushiness from the companies does, and using it at this moment only feeds into it. Probably after the bubble bursts I won’t feel bad about using it.

I recently used one “agentic ‘AI’” to help writing unit tests. Was surprisingly productive with it; but also felt very dirty afterwards.

The funny thing is that the person who approved the law increasing the prison time for that crime was… Bolsonaro.

Why is Dune even considered good sci-fi? It’s more fantasy than Star Wars. Except for maybe replacing the ornithopters with blimps, you could change everything to a pseudo-medieval setting and it wouldn’t change anything in the story.

The Dune books.

OK, not boring, but nowhere near deserving the praise they get.

I’ve only managed to get through the first two.

I hate that this pun only works in English.

For me “Christian Nationalism” is an almost physically painful oxymoron.

In my understanding, Christians should see ourselves as and live as exiles, as our nation is Heaven.

non-cursive is infuriatingly slow to write.

At that point both countries became a United Kingdom.

The later “Independence” of Brazil was just a splitting of the crown, and Emperor Pedro I of Brazil still considered himself a subject of his father king of Portugal.

At least here where I live in Brazil most people who want to colonize, want Italy instead of Portugal.

When I got a beagle I was warned that the race makes for great alarm dogs, but terrible guard dogs, they will bark a lot and then become friends with the burglar.

Yes! The beta was much more fun than the full release.

It being abandoned by the devs is a bit sad, but at least it means great mod stability.

Cupid should try moving to the Southern Hemisphere, February is the perfect time to do that.

Peertube still needs improvements to start looking attractive.

While it is technically federated, using it still feels like it’s just a bunch of small disjointed sites.

I completely agree. Here in Brazil there’s a great example of how badly these binaries fail with Getúlio Vargas.

He got into power with the help of the fascists against the communists. But he was an ultranationalist and those were foreign ideologies, so he persecuted both.

He instituted many workers’ rights and was called big father of the poor, but was also a cruel dictator who committed genocide against the natives, and also persecuted white Europeans who did not had Brazilian culture.

After being deposed he got reelected and committed suicide in a way that saved Brazilian democracy from a military coup.

Strong evidence for the horseshoe theory.

Only works in written form. Unless the alien says the number as one-zero.

Also, in a bijective number system, every base is 11. (they don’t have 0)
