At least my block list is working well.

I loathe X, but what's happening in Brazil goes so beyond ridiculous that makes one wonder about the future of democracy there.

Sometimes I do believe it's broken by design.
The lack of even the slightest of thought on how banks do customer service and handles security must be on purpose, even if I fail what purpose that may be.

I just looooove to send gerber for manufacturing at Jlcpcb that quote has to be corrected (and more has to be paid).
Not their fault, but mine. I seriously need to learn their quote interface better.

Funny thing, I just fried two RP2040 yesterday in a attempt to build my own split mechanical keyboard (corne by foostan: https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/blob/main/docs/corne-cherry/v3/buildguide_en.md ).
In my defence, used pro micro rp2040 because it looked compatible enough with atmel based pro micro boards, and there's a firmware for rp2040 at QMK project.

Someone must be really mentally sick or devoid of the most basic forms of critical thinking to propose governments to manage such thing.

What's happening in Venezuela is beyond words.
Indeed, this situation has persisted since Hugo Chavez's leadership, but it's notable that the current government has shed any inhibitions about openly displaying its true nature.
And highlights well why technologies like Nostr is a must. And messengers like Jami, Simplex or even Matrix to have some measure of privacy.
Defend the right to stand up for yourself and the freedom to critique politicians with your life.
No government must ever be trusted. They are just managers, not saviors.

Usually it requires civil wars.
There's (very) rare cases of authoritarian governments steeping down with relatively low levels of violence, like the fall of Brazilian military government in 1985.
Maduro definitely is one that will not just go away.

It's disappointing to experience this issue with Samsung services on my S23: the Store doesn't display the updates it just alerted me to, and the spinner that never ends indicates a possible delay or congestion.
Remarkable, F-Droid, a repository sustained by volunteer efforts and donations, works better than this... contraption from the almighty Samsung.
If Samsung is not willing to actually invest in their own software and infrastructure, please, just dump everything on Play Store and be gone with it!

If just to transport data around without working on the files directly on the stick, I would go with exFAT for compatibility reasons.
Otherwise, I would go with ext4 (that oddly don't show there) since its really hard do corrupt, and sudden disconnections are a problem with removable drives.

Watching the slow decline of Firefox over the past 15 years has been like watching the final breaths of a beloved pet.
Now I'm with Brave, and happy. But I can't deny that uneasiness feeling that we may end up with just Chromium derivatives and Webkit.

I'm somewhat of a solo gamer, which is why I avoided Warframe back then. I wouldn't touch a modern MOBA even with a barge pole. But now I'm curious.
For me, it was more like Serious Sam: non-stop walking and shooting. It kills time and stress.
Oddly enough, I liked the strange online experience of Death Stranding.

As much as that comes as a surprise to me, just after installing NetBeans 22 to give it a try, the Apache GitHub repo for it is actually quite active lately.
I really thought that NetBeans was handed over to Apache to die. This is good news. I love this IDE. Actually, I like IDEs more than programming editors. Sorry, Kakoune.

I believe the problem is to come up with another metric for that. Views? Then, you get the hell of algorithm rage baits that all other centralized social networks are. Number of comments? Bot farms will have their lucky day with people purchasing fake engagement.
If people are willing to pay just for the sake of agreeing with a note or comment, then, maybe, there's something of quality. At least for the target audience.

This is just way too much power to leave at mercy of a single company, even less Microsoft of all the companies.
This excessive reliance of open source projects on GitHub will cost them dearly sooner or later. The fall of GitHub will be thousand times worse than the fall of SourceForge.

So, an automated system flag accounts, and instead to manually review it first and then block... they just block, and fuck it any damage, loss of work or anxiety that they may cause until an available human, out of the mercy of his heart, do his job.
Great process!! Inspire sooooo much confidence on GitHub.

There's definitely value in Nostr as a long form text publishing platform. But we do need better clients tuned for that.
So far that I know, the only Nostr client going for long form texts is Flycat.club and it has that feeling of early product/project in it.

Why not doing anything for a day or two is so frowned upon these days?
Never got this craze of being productive 100% of the time, to the point of making people feel bad by taking half a hour to play a game. This behavior looks to me as a express lane for a mental illness.

É por conta dessas que Nostr e/ou Fediverso tem de ficar mais popular.

My nostr client is misbehaving. It's not allowing me to post or follow new people. Maybe its a relay issue by the lack of error messages from the client (Primal) is not helping at all.
