Não serei o único a notar a ironia de uma proposta de legislação sobre estrangeiros em Portugal que exige um teste de integração que inclui conhecimentos sobre princípios constitucionais... sofrer de problemas constitucionais. Passariam os legisladores o teste?

Não, RTP, Bernardo Blanco não é um "Comentador RTP", é o Conselheiro nacional da Iniciativa Liberal. Aliás, nota-se bem por aquilo que diz, que ele está a falar - como era de esperar - em representação da IL.

"É por estes motivos que estar no X o dia inteiro a responder a propaganda e a argumentar contra mensagens tóxicas não adianta. Uma pessoa que não conheces de lado nenhum não vai abandonar a sua identidade e valores mais profundos, reforçados por uma torrente de propaganda que os valida, por causa de um argumento de um estranho na internet. Já estamos há anos a tentar essa estratégia e claramente não resulta. Mudemos de tática."

#Autárquicas2025 #Lamego #ptpol
PSD/CDS volta a ganhar a CM com maioria absoluta.
Na Assembleia Municipal entra a IL, com dois mandatos, retirando à CDU o único que tinha.
A freguesia de Lamego continua PS, reforçado, mantendo como única oposição a coligação PSD/CDS.
RTP decide fazer projecções só a uma mão cheia de locais. Tudo bem, mas ao menos preparavam-se para as apresentar. Não ter sequer a foto de alguns candidatos de quem sabiam ir cobrir é muita azelhice...
É um #FAIL monumental usar um logo assim quando o site pizarro.pt é outra coisa...

@xuu Haha 🤣 I'm already have "conversations" with my junior engineers on "how to best use" and "how to avoid" 😂
@movq The time has come for "vibe coding" consultations.
Ugh, a RTP Notícias teve uma actualização ao site, e agora boa sorte para descobrir o link para uma notícia... 
Página de entrada do site da RTP Notícias
"Este artigo foi feito por IA para não ter de dar trabalho a jornalistas. Pode ou não ter sido revisto por um humano. Pode ter erros, se tiver mandem-nos um mail." - Observador
Já se desconfiava - até porque durante os últimos dias se viu mais de Rodrigo Moita de Deus, em todo o tipo de programas e formatos, e a Raquel nada.
Já se notou uma viragem à direita na RTP deste as últimas legislativas - e para que sejamos claros, não me refiro mais debates com pessoas do PSD ou mais tempo ao Rodrigo "não há chacina em Gaza" de Deus, mas sim a presença do Chega, ou à mentira sem oposição nem contraditório na TV. Tenho sentido alguma pena dos jornalistas da RTP3 (não muito, que não há nada como dar um microfone a um fascista para me fazer desligar a televisão). Mas agora? Agora a mudança continua - preparada, estudada, cuidada, em aberto. A mudança de nome da RTP 3 para RTP Notícias parece um regresso ao passado, mas as mudanças para além do nome evocam um passado vergonhoso e ainda mais distante.
Ao perder isenção, dar palco à mentira e ao fascismo, a RTP Notícias provavelmente perde-me como audiência, mas não é isso que importa. O que importa mesmo é que os Portugal perdem, sem saber, o canal noticioso em sinal aberto. Esperemos que eu esteja a ser demasiado pessimista.
Nunca concordei tanto com Raquel Varela como concordo com o seu texto de saída da RTP:

@movq @prologic Unfortunately, I had to review a coworker's code that was also spewed out the same way. It was abso-fucking-lutely horrible. I didn't know upfront, but then asked afterwards and got the proud (!) answer that it indeed was "assisted". I bet this piece of garbage result was never checked or questioned the tiniest bit before submitting for review. >:-( It didn't even do the right thing as a bonus.
What a giant shitshow. Things just have to burn to the ground several times.
@alexonit Hahaha, why does this sound so familiar? :-D
@alexonit Hell yeah, that looks great! :-) What a pity you're not having any photos, though. I love that you went to a craftsmanship school and learned some amazing skills. The older I get, the more I admire all sorts of crafts. That's also why I started building physical stuff myself in my spare time.
This sketch is well done, so you countersunk the holes to make room for the heads. Makes absolutely sense. Mille grazie! <3

@arne Yeah SSE + HTMX is basically all you need really. The whole complicated/complex JavaScript ecosystem is overkill.
Antes que venha aí o dia de reflexão, aqui fica a minha recomendação para as #Autárquicas2025 :
Entre Junta de Freguesia, Assembleia Municipal e Câmara Municipal, é muitíssimo provável que haja um partido fascista a concorrer nas eleições para as quais podes ir votar. Só isso te deve fazer ir às urnas: vota, não desperdices o voto com abstenção, branco ou nulo. Mesmo que não gostes das alternativas, vota - podes sempre votar contra o fascismo, e lutar contra o fascismo vale sempre a pena.

@prologic I don’t think you understood what I wrote. 😅
@bender Is dealing with spam fun though? DDoS attacks? DoS attacks? Scans for all kinds of stupid shit™? Malware? Advertising? Tracking? Spying? ..
Intranets have been around since Jesus times (well, not quite 😂, but you get the idea). They are fun to play with, but that's about it. I mean, the "fun" of the Internet comes from its variety.
@movq I wouldn't consider this a "dark web", no. It'd just be a new web on top of an already existing "physical" infrastructure, where the web that grew out of that is total garbage.
🤔 💭 🧐 What if, What if we built our own self-hosted / small-web / community-built/run Internet on top of the Internet using Wireguard as the underlying tech? What if we ran our own Root DNS servers? What if we set a zero tolerance policy on bots, spammers and other kind of abuse that should never have existed in the first place. Hmmmm
@movq Oh dear 😅 We're starting to see this "garbage software" too over here 👈

@thecanine I am not arguing you didn't do *the right thing™*, and even if the impact is minimal, or nothing, you did what you thought was right (and I agree). I don't agree with certain rules the EU wants to impose, not in this particular case. There are rotten potatoes everywhere, and I don't get fooled by the EU often sacrosanct behaviour.
But who am I to say anything, right? Look at the grotesque clown utterly shit show we live with on this side!*
@thecanine alright, a canned reply. Better than nothing! (or equal to nothing, LOL).
@movq I am betting he will not. The letter was not focused, nor used, politician's "lingo". If it was sent via email then it will be even easier to dismiss. I wish I was not such a cynic! 😩
@bender So far so good 😊 I'll let you know how things go though!
@prologic is iMessages iCloud synchronization disabled? Applications might stop working, and functionality rendered worthless the more you block.
I keep getting this email occadionally:
> Your iCloud storage is almost full
Now for various reasons, I don't want my children to be using iCloud to store data, files, photos or any of the sort. They're free to use iMessages, and other Apple services like the App Store, etc, but not storage.
So I've set about blocking iCloud Storage API(s) via AdGuard Home tonight as well as ensuring that my local network (_client users_) cannot bypass DNS policies and get out other sneaky ways, because some applications will just use other DNS servers, or DOH or DOT.
I wish I could sleep like dolphins, I would be able to do all the things I wanted much faster.
@lyse In my case it was a silver necklace, a hummingbird with a wing connected with the cold welding I mentioned using thin brass wires.
It made it in a goldsmithing class (I went to a private craftmanship high-school) so no phones allowed (no photos of it) and no "take home" of the works.
Here's a rough sketch of it drawn by memory, the dots in the wing is where it connects to the body.
Hummingbird necklace sketch
The technique is basically the same as i described, but the scale is much smaller, the whole piece was about 5-6 cm on the largest side.
The rivet was made by drilling a hole through the parts, than with a short and thicker drill you widen the hole on the surface to let the rivet settle flatter on the piece, then with a rubber hammer you hit it to flatten the head until it's snug on the hole, lock them together by doing the same on the other side.
Note that widening the hole with a thicker drill head won't make a difference with bigger holes, mine had holes of about 1-2 mm of diameter maximum.
Here's a sketch of what is going on for clarity.

@lyse I actually decided to clean it after my mouse clicks became weirdly unresponsive.
As I began to pull dust out of the gap in the scroll wheel, a mysteryous red fluffy hair ball came out for some reason, so I decided to open it to clean the rest.
After I was done, I went and cleaned the keyboard too.
The mouse was but a teaser of the gore scenes I was about to see... 😱
@zvava It is a common UI element in most social platform after all, it's easy to include when planning something similar.

@movq Yeah, it's lovely out there right now.
@movq That's satisfying. :-) Not all my clocks are radio-controlled, though.
I've got a digital alarm clock from the Netherlands (no idea where I got this) and it always runs an hour late. No clue. I put it on a shelf in the workshop where it causes the least amount of confusion.

@movq how do you set your clock to use a specific time signal radio station? I have one wall clock in my office, it works great, but no way to set that.
Occasionally, when I want to feel like a real hacker, I pick the keyboard with the clicky keys and massively annoy everybody around me by typing very fast and enthusiastically.
Recently, I wrote about how to use starter packs for Mastodon. Currently, this isn't possible natively, but it is via an external website. However, this feature may also be available directly in Mastodon in the future, and we can now send suggestions and other feedback:https://maurice-renck.de/notes/2025/mastodon-packs
@prologic Oh, I will certainly check this out! Thanks for the tip, mate! <3
@lyse Cool! 😎 You _might_ be interested in my own learnings and toying around with building my own container engine / tooling (_whatever you wanna call it_) box. I had to learn a bunch of this stuff too 😅 Control Groups, Namespaces, Process Isolation, etc.
I went on a short stroll in the woods and came across two great spotted woodpeckers. They were busy with their courtship display, I reckon, so it took them a while to notice me and escape into thicker parts out of sight. That was really awesome. There are a lot of apples and sloes now, looking really good. The cam issues still persist, though, I wish the photos were sharper. Also, I got the error that the function wheel was not adjusted correctly and alledgedly pointed between two options numerous times. And no, it was bang on a setting. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-10-07/

Not shown here but, this Shape class used on the linked sketch helps eliminate (by adding them to a set) not only Polygons that are visually the same but also shape rotations using a custom .__hash__() method :)
(A caveat to the reader: The code is messy because it sometimes retains remnants of abandoned ideas and lateral explorations, also, this is creative coding not software engineering) 
Random musing from a #Python creative coder:
I have this naïve cumbersome thing for dealing with collinear vertices in a polygon (like a vertex in the middle of an edge that doesn't change the shape of the polygon, and I tried to replace it with some clever #shapely method such as .simplify(...) or .buffer(0) and failed miserably. So I'll have to keep my home made check-area-every-three-vertices thing for now...
I'm kind of proud of my idea of representing polygons as a set of frozensets of edge vertex pairs because it eliminates all visually equivalent rotations and reverse ordered rotations (that is, if you don't have pesky collinear vertices).

@bender See the problem is you don't live in the "busy" enough 😂 There are roaches everywhere here! 🤣 LOL snakes too! Plovers, Magpies, Crows, Spiders, even Deer for fucks sake 😂
@prologic I wouldn't know where to look for little cockroaches, or roaches, in general! LOL. We buy seeds to feed them. But not around the neighborhood, otherwise we would have a problem. 😅
It's like the developers of @obsidian can read my mind. Some days ago I thought it would be so nice to be able to group data in bases. Now with the 1.10 release (catalyst), this is possible. This is so cool! Thank you :)

@bender We have _quite a few_ that are basically part of our friendly neighborhood. They knew we won't chase them aware, scare them, etc. In fact some of us find little cockroaches to feed them, tose 'em up in the air and watch them sweep in and grab the little suckers 🤣
