  • Tava dando uma olhada nesse tal de BrOS, e parecia okay, até ir na home do site deles e ver o anúncio de que “o Brasil não é mais uma democracia” kkkkkkk

    Aí cliquei pra ler, tão tentando vender um curso de 500 conto sobre privacidade digital (com a ajuda da IA!!!), tudo conteúdo que você facilmente aprende de graça na internet.



  • Yeah, I guess I have to accept that Linux will let you do the wrong thing, and (sometimes?) not even ask for confirmation. However, it seems weird to me that the default is not the other way around. Logically, every drive that is not where the system itself is, should be mounted, by default, as non-essential. The fact that the system does the opposite by default is what it baffles me.

    The drive that caused a problem was part of a Jbod I had set up, to serve as the partition where my jellyfin library is located. I later discovered it was not my pcie expansion card, but the drive itself that is going bad. It has seen 2271 days of activity, and, apparently, it can’t handle being chock full anymore. After deleting some files it stopped occasionally going off. I can’t remember exactly where I got my guide from, but this one I didn’t use LLM for. I had just searched how to mount a jbod in Fedora 44 on duck, and followed the first result (which seemed okay). Thanks for the heads-up though, I’ll be more careful from now on.

    However, these bleeding edges also seem to be the sort of thing that the Linux developers community should iron out of the system for better mainstream adoption of Linux. This is, logically, not how a default should be.

    Edit: typos, grammar.










  • Yeah, I usually just read 2 or 3 positive and 2 or 3 negative reviews and look at the % score of the game. It’s all you need to know if a game is for you or not. Also, follow people who have similar taste to you, in my case, that’s Force Gaming and Iron Pineapple, whatever they play and really like, there’s a good chance I’ll like it as well. On top of that, I now have the habit of playing Steam Next Fest demos as much as I can to discover new games.





  • The problem of fighting for democracy using social media, is that the ones controlling the algorithm are precisely the ones that don’t want the “left” to succeed. It is essentially fighting a battle in the enemy’s field, where they control the land itself. At small scales, it might work. But it will never work when it comes to true important positions. I’d go as far as to say that the mirage that it works in cases like Mandani is part of their plan, to keep the left locked in their platforms “because that’s what works”. Here in my country, Brazil, I could clearly see the impacts of the algorithm changes they put in place after 2011, after the pro-democracy movements that started on Facebook. Their networks started to curb engagement from the left, and massively boost fake news, right-wing content, ultra nationalism, and such. It’s naive to think that social media can be used to win the populace back to the left. They’ll never let it happen.
