"Portugal cumpriu apenas 40% do Plano Nacional de Ação (PNA) para reduzir a destruição provocada pelos fogos florestais: o objetivo, revelou esta terça-feira o jornal ‘Público’, era limpar um milhão de hectares de floresta portuguesa entre 2020 e 2024. No entanto, as operações de limpeza abrangeram apenas 400 mil hectares."

@eric Sure i! Welcome! 🤗
@eldersnake Haha, yeah well "thinking" isn't really something we even know how to define, let alone simulate 🤣
But maybe, just _maybe_ this is why they're pushing so hard to have this "Age Verification" bullshit. So they can then shut people down like me that routinely "speak up" and "against the status quo". Bend over backwards? I think not! Assholes 🤣
I _realize_ I'm a nobody, and no-one will care or listen. But to the various UK, EU and AU politicians pushing for this "Online Safety Act" bullshit.... You're all fucking utter morons! I can't wait for the backflash of what will come next. Idiots.

I intentionally use #AI tools to work...
Ainda pensei que o problema fosse na amostra (só sectores tecnológicos ou qualquer coisa assim) mas parece que não... aparentemente a febre da IA é um fenómeno mais impactante do que pensava.

https://assets.kpmg.com/content/dam/kpmg/pt/pdf/pt-confianca-inteligencia-artificial-portugal.pdf
Tuve de ir ver ao estudo propriamente dito.
Parece que a PCGuia trocou as legendas de dois dos resultados e a coisa é ainda mais incrível que antes: só 3 em cada 10 trabalhadores em Portugal é que não usam IA no seu trabalho. Volto a perguntar: será credível? Gráfico tirado do estudo: % que utiliza intencionalmente ferramentas de IA para trabalhar 30% nunca 40% algumas vezes por ano 11% mensalmente 11% semanalmente 8% diariamente
Fui à procira da fonte, vi que tinham um documento de resumo, fui ver e dei com isto... e agora tenho ainda menos confiança nestes números. ![Screenshot sobre IA no trabalho: 63% afirmam qua a sua organização utiliza IA; 70% utilizam IA no trabalho (mas no resumo sa PCGuia são "só" 60%?)](https://media.ciberlandia.pt/ciberlandia-media/media_attachments/files/115/007/357/950/135/026/original/0b500290da7d5fbf.jpg)
Segundo o resumo publicado na #PCGuia a um estudo da @kpmg@kpmg só 2 em cada 5 trabalhadores em Portugal não usam #IA. Será possível? Gráfico: "Utilizacão de IA no trabalho, em Portugal". 40% - Nunca 30% - Algumas vezes por ano 11% - Mensalmente 11% - Semanalmente 8% - Diariamente

In an age of rapidly shifting digital landscapes and ever-changing social media platforms, one might wonder what remains stable in our online world. This exploration into the nature of blogs reveals a paradox: perhaps the only constant about blogging is its endless capacity for reinvention.#blogwochen2025 https://maurice-renck.de/en/blog/2025/medienwandel-das-blog-als-konstante
Da mais recente newsletter da @climaximo@climaximo :

"Nos últimos dois anos, a Equipa Legal do Climáximo tem acompanhado quase cem pessoas que realizaram ações com risco de detenção, num total de 72 ações. Destes, 8 foram arquivados, 3 foram absolvidos, e em 10 casos as ativistas foram condenadas. Temos ainda uns 20 casos no tribunal, e mais 20 casos que podem vir a ser objeto de processos-crime."

"Aqui queremos fazer uma pequena pausa para esclarecer que isto não é toda a repressão que o movimento pela justiça climática enfrenta. Isto é a parte que é visível para a equipa legal do Climáximo, e portanto exclui, por exemplo, a indemnização ao Luís Montenegro por causa do seu fato de luxo que ficou sujo numa ação da Greve Climática Estudantil.

E também não vemos como assunto separado os polícias que acompanharam os despejos em Loures nem os vários grupos neo-nazis que de repente veio a público estarem a preparar-se. Esta tendência de governo autoritário é estrutural e é uma resposta consciente por quem manda nesta sociedade, exatamente por perceberem a crise climática que têm alimentado."

"Até agora, apoiantes do Climáximo participaram em ações diretas pela justiça climática e tiveram 8 casos concluídos e 2 ainda em recurso [...] Isto por dizerem a verdade sobre a emergência climática."

March 4th to September 25th, 1789 : The U.S. House of Representatives compiles a list of possible Constitutional Amendments, some of which will ultimately become the Bill of Rights. The House proposes seventeen out of the many which are offered; the Senate reduces this list to twelve. During this process Senator Tristram Dalton of Massachusetts proposes an Amendment seeking to prohibit, and provide a penalty for, any American accepting a "title of nobility" (RG 46 Records of the U.S. Senate). Although it isn't passed, this is the first time a "titles of nobility" amendment is proposed.

@prologic They would know how to do that, but the issue was anything else, like switching workspaces or opening a terminal window or any window at all. 😅
@movq No one would figure out how to :q! ? 🤣
We did an experiment at work today: Do I even need to lock my laptop when I’m gone or is nobody able to use it anyway?

It went as expected. 🤣
@prologic I’m so tired of this. (That’s the goal. They want to wear people down.)
This whole Age Verification that's being rolled out in the UK, AU and parts of the EU is totally fucking bullshit. Death to the Online Safety Act.
@kat yeah it's pretty terrible these days. Most recent trouble I had was something as simple as installing and setting up the Tailscale client. On literally all my other devices (Linux and Android) that was a cinch, but on Windows.... ohh boy, I had to mess around with reg edits and all sorts of crap and eventually bludgeoned it into working, but it was a bloody pain.

A #musiquinta é para músicas ou bandas com nome de cidade, estado ou país.

Laibach é "the Austrian German name of the Slovenian capital Ljubljana" e também p nome da banda escolhida. Tem várias músicas com nomes de países (especialmente graças ao álbum Volk) mas escolho uma música que fala sobre um continente: Eurovision.

Its a problem, if most of the real estates are in the hands of foreign companies. Who ownes the land, the oil and gas fields, the power plants, lithium and uranium? Who ownes Black Rock?
I think that most of the paper dollars are in the hands of US citicens.
Re. 1c97c : We have now [1913 and onwards] a situation in which U.S. citizens have been hoodwinked into accepting paper money which is owned by foreign corporations. More recently, U.S. citizens are allowing themselves to be hoodwinked into accepting bitcoin which is owned by foreign corporations. In both instances, it's the foreign ownership which is the problem. I'll want to review my notes on this, - but that's what I remember just now.

@kat If you’re willing to ignore that it’s proprietary software, then Windows used to be pretty good. Like, 25 years ago. After Windows 2000 (or maybe XP) it went downhill fast. Kind of makes me sad, actually. 😂

Ah, so apparently they don’t like writing manpages anymore and instead use XML:

https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/doc/apt.8.xml

And then they use XSLT on top and what not:

https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/doc/manpage-style.xsl.cmake.in

It’s not even explicitly *blue*:

https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/doc/apt.ent?ref_type=heads#L17

Abstractions upon abstractions upon abstractions.
@kat Oh no. 😨 Backups! We need more backups!
You can explicitly use colors in manpages. I saw this in the apt manpage of Ubuntu recently, which, for some reason, uses blue text in one place:

https://movq.de/v/de5ab72016/s.png

Makes little sense to me. I’m glad that most manpages don’t do this. I wouldn’t want unicorn vomit all over the place.

Using colors can be done using the low level commands \m and \M:

.TH foo_program 3
\m[blue]I'm blue\m[], da ba dee.
\m[red]\M[yellow]I'm red on yellow.\m[]\M[]
This is quite horrible.
