Está por trás duma paywall e só sei desta notícia as gordas, mas é de aplaudir que a queixa seja feita - e de lamentar que ela tenha de ser feita.

Já me tinha queixado disto por aqui: quem é a comunicação social para decidir quem são ou não os candidatos presidenciais? A Lei é quem define estas coisas, não uma mão pouco cheia de cadeias televisivas. Que eles tenham escolhido fazer debates antes de haver candidatos é uma decisão que eles tomaram, e que não pode ser usada como desculpa para apontar dedos e decidir quem são os candidatos de primeira e de segunda. Até haver candidatos, há propostas de candidatura - e elas são bem mais que oito - todas iguais perante a lei, e perante os cidadãos.

“Ah, mas estes são quem tem mais probabilidade de chegar a algum lado” dirão, mas o perigo está exactamente aí - é ao retratar estes oito como “os candidatos” (no discurso utilizado nem referem que há outros!) que a comunicação social interfere, e faz levar os eleitores a estes em detrimento de outros.

Já levaram a extrema direita ao colo, não aprenderam nada.
Gostava agora de saber se partidos como o @LIVRE@LIVRE vão apoiar queixas destas: também eles já tiveram neste papel de ostracizados pela comunicação social (lembram-se da petição pela justiça nos debates das Europeias?).

Trump directs Pentagon to start testing nuclear weapons
Julia Manchester and Filip Timotija ,  Staff Writers  -  The Hill

_Stephan: It has been 33 years since a nuclear weapon was exploded in the United States, but dictator Trump who, I think, neither knows nor cares about what nuclear explosions cause, is about to start this stupidity again. To quote the Atomic Heritage Foundation, “There have been various debates over how much radiation exposure and nuclear fallout w … ⌘ Read more

↳ In-reply-to » Oh man, if the EU actually rolled out this horribd idea called ChatControl that actually threatens the security and privacy of secure e2e encrypted messaging like Signal™, fuck me, I'm out 🤦‍♂️ I'll just rage quit the IT industry and become a luddite. I'm out.

@prologic@twtxt.net Germany was listed as “opposing” on https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ for a while, now it’s back to “undecided”. According to netzpolitik.org, it’s still debated. Also according to that page, there could be an important vote on the EU level on October 13/14.

The green party and the (far) left are opposing this (at least in Germany). Sadly, Germany is leaning more right with every year … As for young people: The (far) left is the strongest party among young people, with the (far) right being the second strongest one. (https://www.tagesschau.de/wahl/archiv/2025-02-23-BT-DE/umfrage-alter.shtml) Is there cause for hope? I don’t know.

↳ In-reply-to » “Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X.Org User”

I wasn’t really aware until recently that programs can’t choose their own window’s position on Wayland. This is very weird to me, because this was not an issue on X11 to begin with: X11 programs can request a certain position and size, but the X11 WM ultimately decides if that request is being honored or not. And users can configure that.

But apparently, this whole thing is a heated debate in the Wayland world. 🤔

18 rules of Software Engineering

  1. You will regret complexity when on-call
  2. Stop falling in love with your own code
  3. Everything is a trade-off. There’s no “best” 3. Every line of code you write is a liability 4. Document your decisions and designs
  4. Everyone hates code they didn’t write
  5. Don’t use unnecessary dependencies
  6. Coding standards prevent arguments
  7. Write meaningful commit messages
  8. Don’t ever stop learning new things
  9. Code reviews spread knowledge
  10. Always build for maintainability
  11. Ask for help when you’re stuck
  12. Fix root causes, not symptoms
  13. Software is never completed
  14. Estimates are not promises
  15. Ship early, iterate often
  16. Keep. It. Simple.

Solid list, even though 14 is up for debate in my opinion: Software can be completed. You have a use case / problem, you solve that problem, done. Your software is completed now. There might still be bugs and they should be fixed – but this doesn’t “add” to the program. Don’t use “software is never done” as an excuse to keep adding and adding stuff to your code.

10 Quirky, but Necessary, Food Safety Rules of the Past
Long before “hand sanitizer” became a household staple or single-use packaging sparked environmental debates, a series of surprisingly odd—and occasionally ingenious—food-safety laws quietly reshaped what ended up on our plates (and in our hands). From Victorian London’s shared ice-cream glasses that contributed to typhoid outbreaks to postwar Japan’s precision-sealed juice jars, each bizarre reform emerged […]

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org there are times that it works out to reply to the “flat” conversation, if it fully relates, or the participants are few, or if the strict topic is kept. When there are too many people, or too many topics being spit out, then forking constantly is the way to go. I am a strong proponent of forking. It’s like telling the rest, “you debate that there, I will take this one aside”.

A more robust raw OpenBSD syscall demo
Ted Unangst published dude, where are your syscalls? on flak yesterday, with a neat demonstration of OpenBSD’s pinsyscall security feature, whereby only pre-registered addresses are allowed to make system calls. Whether it strengthens or weakens security is up for debate, but regardless it’s an interesting, low-level programming challenge. The original demo is fragile for multiple reasons, and requires manually locating and entering addresses for each bu … ⌘ Read more

[ANN] MoneroTalk #339: Monero’s Place in Policy & Regulation in 2025

This episode is a recording of an X Spaces discussion with Douglas Tuman, John Bush, Stoic.XMR, BawdyAnarchist, and others about whether or not the Monero community should engage in political activism to push for pro-privacy, pro-Monero policies in the U.S. The participants debated the merits of lobbying for regulatory clarity versus focusing purely on grassroots, opt-out strategies that avoid government intervention altogether.

10 Anomalous Fossil Finds That Stumped Scientists
Fossils serve as time capsules, offering glimpses into the ancient past and helping scientists reconstruct the evolutionary story of life on Earth. Most fossils fit neatly into our understanding of biology and history, but every so often, a discovery emerges that doesn’t align with established theories. These anomalies spark debate, challenge long-held beliefs, and sometimes […]

↳ In-reply-to » (#l4nwadq) @prologic omg yes! They are both ultra-right-wing assholes! The worst of the worst! Please tell me you don't listen to these guys' brain poison?

@prologic@twtxt.net It went there because you are supporting bad people who themselves operate at the level of outrage. You cannot have a “debate” about the ideas of someone like Peterson or Shapiro, because those ideas should not be considered debate-worthy. Rape is not OK, period, the end. It is not up for debate or discussion. Yet Peterson acts as if it is. That is abhorrent, and unacceptable in 2023.
