"Scenario 3, a catastrophe: Flávio Bolsonaro wins and secures a majority in Congress
If this happens, we will experience something similar to the Jair Bolsonaro administration (2019-2022) but in a much worse context domestically, given the Supreme Court’s internal fragility, and, at a global level, heavily influenced by the administration of Donald Trump, who seeks to turn Latin America into his playground.
Flávio Bolsonaro has already demonstrated that if elected, he will accept Trump’s tutelage. Bolsonaro junior would consequently be in a much more favorable position than his father to finish destroying democracy.
There is only one way for Brazil to remain a democracy, however imperfect: by reelecting Lula and voting in a more progressive Congress."

In France, certain truths that everyone knows must not be spoken. Like Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Listen, I just think it's weird that the same people who are saying they're worried that AI is going to wipe out humanity are also eager for military contracts that will give AI control of weapons.
I surmise this is because they are really saying, "AI will kill all of humanity, except us, of course. We will survive and live in abundance while all *those* people die."

Ich habe die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen der Mastodon-Instanz #WueSocial angezogen. Z.B. sollten Registrierungen nun nur noch aus europäischen Ländern möglich sein.
Den ersten Tests nach sollte es funktionieren.
Falls Probleme auftreten - ich möchte es mal nicht ausschließen -, gebt Bescheid.
Which one, in your opinion, will be the title of the next post on IT Notes (not a poll as they're too long for a poll)?
- From nonsense to perfection, the Microsoft way: systemd
- How my NetBSD-powered toaster burnt my bread
- From Apple to Raspberry Pi Zero W: fruit, without getting fat
- I let my agents run for one month. They made a pizza with tiramisu, deleted all the recipes, then denied everything and hallucinated. In the end, they cooked poisonous mushrooms, but saved my life by suggesting I go to the hospital immediately.
- I forgot my keys and my OpenBSD-powered smart lock locked me out of my house
- None of the above

Journalists have fallen in love with the expression "went rogue." It's not appropriate. OpenAI is recklessly releasing malware: software intentionally designed to gain unauthorized access to computer systems.

Niveau de WTF actuel de Facebook : Apparemment, Facebook utilise vos photos et vidéos pour envoyer des publicités animés créées par IA AVEC VOTRE TRONCHE DESSUS.

Il faut *VRAIMENT* arrêter d'utiliser Facebook. Ces gens n'ont absolument aucun respect.
@sebsauvage ... ce genre de technologie est tellement problématique si réel.
Genre, ils peuvent montrent ta tête en manif pour un corps politique de leur choix pour influencer tes proches.
Je déteste cette ère de post vérité assumé, ou le mensonge est un produit capitalisé.

A teenager struggling with climate anxiety searches for hope in an unexpected place – writing letters to imprisoned activists. Max, 14, is on a quest to understand the human stories behind direct action and why so many climate protesters are in prison.

Two things can be true at the same time:
- Intellectual property is a regime of state-enforced monopolies that exists to extract value from people using otherwise non-rivalrous ideas, to the advantage primarily of the already-rich and to the detriment of a world deprived of the free expression of those ideas, and
- Under a system in which people depend on returns to their intellectual labor to survive in capitalist markets, stealing the product of that labor with impunity does real harm to those workers.

Americans have a First Amendment right to equal access to official government statements, and President Trump violates that right when Truth Social sells early access to his posts, EFF told a federal court. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/09/ff-court-trumps-use-truth-socials-pay-see-posts-first-scheme-violates-americans
@eff
The American presidency has become a vulgar money-making scheme. A president who cannot tolerate criticism is not strong. He is weak, and he seems to have forgotten what shame and embarrassment mean. Fortunately, many people still know. True leadership welcomes scrutiny, learns from dissent, and serves the people.
