Que tal o mais recente "Portal do Tempo", que - calha - inclui uma faixa de #kokori ? O:-)

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:

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.

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

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. ![Uma imagem da RFM que diz "keep calm e domingo vai votar"](https://media.ciberlandia.pt/ciberlandia-media/media_attachments/files/115/351/293/419/225/157/original/899b24a5bf3d4592.png)
thecanine	https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt	2025-10-10T16:40:13Z	I noticed Google put out this article: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/09/lets-talk-security-answering-your-top.html it's very current day Google, but the comments under the YouTube video are pretty on point and I saw a few familiar faces there. There is also, unexpectedly, ways to contact Google.

First a form for "teachers, students, and hobbyists", that I filled politely, as someone who falls under their hobbyist category. It can be filled both anonymously, or with an e-mail attached, to be contacted by them (I chose the second option).

Also a general feedback and questions form, that I was not as polite in and used to send them the following message:

I have already provided some feedback, in the teacher, student and hobbyists form/questionaire, as well as an open letter I've recently sent to the European Commission digital markets act team, as I do believe your proposal might not even be legal, given the fact it puts privacy-focused alternative app stores at risk (https://f-droid.org/cs/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html) and it was proposed this early, after Google lost in court to Epic Games, over similar monopoly concerns. Why should we trust Google to be the only authority for all developer signatures, right after the European courts labeled it a gatekeeper?

Assuming this gets passed, despite justified developer backlash and at best questionable legality, can you give us any guarantees, this will not be used to target legal malware-free  mods, or user privacy enhancing patchers, like the ones used for applying the ReVanced patches? I have made a few mods myself, but I am in no way associated with the ReVanced team. I just share many peoples concerns, Google Chrome has been conveniently stripped of its manifest v2 support, that made many privacy protecting extensions possible and now you're conveniently asking for the government IDs, of all the developers, who maintain these kinds of privacy protections (be it patches, or alternative open-source apps) on Android.

movq	https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt	2025-10-10T07:03:33+00:00	It happened.

“Can you help me debug this program? I vibe coded it and I have no idea what’s going on. I had no choice – learning this new language and frameworks would have taken ages, and I have severe time constraints.”

Did I say “no”? Of course not, I’m a “nice guy”. So I’m at fault as well, because I endorsed this whole thing. The other guy is also guilty, because he didn’t communicate clearly to his boss what can be done and how much time it takes. And the boss and his bosses are guilty a lot, because they’re all pushing for “AI”.

The end result is garbage software.

This particular project is still relatively small, so it might be okay at the moment. But normalizing this will yield nothing but garbage. And actually, especially if this small project works out fine, this contributes to the shittiness because management will interpret this as “hey, AI works”, so they will keep asking for it in future projects.

How utterly frustrating. This is not what I want to do every day from now on.

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	https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt	2025-10-09T18:57:49Z	(#xm2sd5q) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> To add some context, I'm not one to write open letters often, nor do I expect to become some kind of martyr, the European Union will unite over, to fight Google.

However Google did loose to Epic Games in European courts, that determined Google maintains a monopoly over its Play Store, restricting competition and developers choices. And pretty much right after courts determined this, Google gives them the middle finger and proposes changes, that would destroy F-droid - the biggest and really the only competing app store, that's actually competing and not just taking the apps from Googles Play Store and passing them on.

There are many more qualified and likable parties, who already reached out to them, with these concerns, I just think it's important everyone impacted by this, politely contacts them too, to convey this is not just some niche non-issue, a few IT nerds made up.

Dear citizen,

Thank you for contacting us and sharing your concerns regarding the impact of Google’s plans to introduce a developer verification process on Android. We appreciate that you have chosen to contact us, as we welcome feedback from interested parties.

As you may be aware, the Digital Markets Act (‘DMA’) obliges gatekeepers like Google to effectively allow the distribution of apps on their operating system through third party app stores or the web. At the same time, the DMA also permits Google to introduce strictly necessary and proportionate measures to ensure that third-party software apps or app stores do not endanger the integrity of the hardware or operating system or to enable end users to effectively protect security.

We have taken note of your concerns and, while we cannot comment on ongoing dialogue with gatekeepers, these considerations will form part of our assessment of the justifications for the verification process provided by Google.

Kind regards,
The DMA Team
