(cont.) CM continua a desmanchar o discurso de AV (ou vai fazendo entre interrupções). Está bem, claro, e meteu AV nervoso, mas pena é que já perdemos 14 minutos e ainda não se fez nada a não ser falsr do que o AV quiz trazer para aqui

1. Patriarca de LX critica a normalização do discurso de ódio - AV não vê nada de mal com o discurso de ódio e volta a falar daquilo que quiz logo desde o minuto zero. Catarina Martins diz que obviamente tem razão o discurso de ódio ser um problema, o RASI confirma, há uma ligação directa com a extrema direita. AV chama censura à regulação das redes sociais, e que a CMartins não pode dizer que defende as mulheres porque está do lado de Gaza. CMartins fala de censura quando AV processou CMartins (e perdeu) por ela ter dito que ele era racista (que é) num debate. AV começa na berraria, Gaza e burcas e cenas, mas CMartins explica como defende os direitos humanos. Mais berraria e tal.
   
2. Jornalista pergunta a AV mais uma coisa, AV em vez de responder diz várias coisas que são más (segundo ele) em CM para ver se ela não tem tempo para corrigir cada uma delas. Vendo que não tem tempo, CM fala antes do problema das notícias falsas, e pede que as pessoas tenham cuidado e não caiam em notícias falsas (em sequência das mentiras de AV)

FTR, I see one (two) issues with PyQt6, sadly:

1. The PyQt6 docs appear to be mostly auto-generated from the C++ docs. And they contain many errors or broken examples (due to the auto-conversion). I found this relatively unpleasent to work with.
   
2. (Until Python finally gets rid of the Global Interpreter Lock properly, it’s not really suited for GUI programs anyway – in my opinion. You can’t offload anything to a second thread, because the whole program is still single-threaded. This would have made my fractal rendering program impossible, for example.)
