Well, you did it for your partners experience, but it didn’t need to be. As the choice is yours.

Some people were saying they like it hairy and that you should think about your partner before shaving. I don’t think that’s right.

If we talk the same language and there is the spark of interest, I don’t see why not. non-binary is all about breaking these barriers, correct?

Why are people talking about partners when this is a own body choice? This is creepy.

Seeing China (Tencent) and the US (Lightspeed LA) working together really gives me hope that everything will turn up alright.

The idea is that in a populist scenario the command chain of a dictator-like government has to repeat exactly what the leader says. And that would come from the responsible authoritarian leaders being representatives for the people. But in a way that they are the people. And that comes from a strong “I am you” image projected by the authoritarian leader.

I will elaborate more on this later as it interests me profoundly.

Thankfully, the literature on it is quite extense. I have prepared some books to read on the “Authoritarian Personality” and on the “Sociology of Power”. It is just a shower thought after all.

Luckily I’ll be able to make sense of this and produce something that will make it able for people to understand it as well.

A blog post, a Lemmy comment, something like that.

do you think this is interesting? people clearly have a strong opinion about it given the downvotes.

I’d rather not.

That is already enough of a reason for a distinguished study. If a populist leader wants to force their core leaders and fellow party members into going along completely with them, that’s already reason enough for a deep cut in morality, ethics and integrity.

In a populist setting, where the politician says to the people that gather around her/him “I am like you”, they do this for the sole purpose of forcing the other interested members of a party to say “I am like you” as well.

I pay for Ollama Cloud. As for the training of the big models, big companies do it using who-knows-what resources.

Tool usage is very important. Qwen3.5 (135b) can already do wonderful things on OpenCode.

well written article

it’s probably very important to her in an age where Facebook was dominant and the equality measures weren’t really out there as mainstream. There were no mainstream movies, no general consensus about the female leading role in equality and so on.

If you’re a designer in 2015 and Facebook gives you a role to overhaul the looks and put women-first, I think I would be really starstruck too.

Everyday I stray further from the path of mainstream gaming.

I think companies are maybe preparing for the Compute as a Service thing, but I don’t think it will work.

It doesn’t make sense to stay locked into the Mac environment unless the hardware is incredible or you need to develop iOS applications.

Controlling people in the way you mean goes all the way back to “Revolta das Vacinas” and the higienistas. That’s not what I mean. What I mean is digital control over what people do. You think Brazil doesn’t have the US technology to control what people do over the web, but look at all the Amazon and Oracle datacenters that keep appearing on Brazil.

It might not be direct technology transfer, but it is at least licensed to process brazilian info and, if with Bolsonaro, to help the government with direct knowledge against public interest.

CPF, fingerprint, photos,… that’s all well knowledge of fingerprinting the citizen. But what about the digital fingerprint? That could be much larger: what you do, your psychological profile, and what you do on your free time.

Can you imagine; all those companies in contract with the government. Suddenly they have access to your profile and how you respond to everything. I’m not talking directly about the democratic government here, since it doesn’t matter if it is Lula or Bolsonaro on this. But you have to keep in mind that the personal interest, by which I mean the interest of the peoples initiative, association and expression, is defended by the left, not the right.

You’re in for a surprise if you think the government doesn’t want absolute control. In an age where people use their phones, are constantly online. Maybe you will find out there people who “just want to get in peace to their homes”, or “just want to be left alone”, or that the basic for life is “being able to walk carelessly on the streets”. It’s the complete reversal of what is human and what we need to be human: connection, food, water, development.

People need education and knowledge, but more than that, people need the right to build, the right to tinker, the right to find out who they are, the right to find out what’s best for everyone in society and for their own groups, the right to participate democratically.

None of which are guaranteed in Brazil right now, and certainly won’t be with Bolsonaro. Don’t be surprised if Bolsonaro talks trash of the Fediverse or of what the radical left thinks is freedom of expression and association.

India is heading for IT centric jobs in large corporations, planning to be “the brain of the world”. With many IT consulting systems all over the world going through India. That’s the plan. And that will be done by large Indian corporations, like the Tata consulting mentioned on the article.

It’s government trying to control people all over again.

Bolsonaro (Flávio) will probably make an argument saying that under him people will be free from control or something like that, but it’s just bullshit. What we would get under him is brazilian ICE (Internal Customs Enforcement - isn’t that funny).
