Really not used to taking holidays… just wished a good weekend to the supermarket cashier… it’s Monday.

Boy do I love the law that forces me to type this every time I add a contact phone number, even though in Portugal the first digit of a number indicates weather it’s a mobile or a landline… \s

What a time we live in where not only my keyboard/mouse software comes with an “AI prompt builder”, but also that module its constantly pinging the internet in the background without me even having any device connected or even the app opened…

😂😂😂

AFAIK they all ask you for your CC number in the first month to verify your age

🥳 Amazing news!!! My first co-authorship on a Q1 journal, which includes part of my MSc dissertation work!

Honest question here - does anyone find the default Zoom behaviour of automatically resizing the window to full screen when someone starts sharing their screen a sensible default?

To me its just so annoying the window randomly taking over the entire screen when I forget to turn it off…

Outdoor advertisement for IKEA written in Portuguese. The outdoor advertised the KALLAX bookshelf, now at an even lower price. In large bold letters, the advert reads “Good to store books. Or €75,800.”

The outdoor reads:
“Good to store books. Or €75,800.”

Uma grande vitória para os Biólogos Profissionais de Saúde!

Não nos esqueçamos - se os Biólogos deixassem de trabalhar hoje, amanhã não haveria reprodução medicamente assistida, bem como uma queda tremenda em testes genéticos e análises clínicas.

Please stop putting ginger on everything

Thank you so much was very much considering biting the bullet and this certainly helps!

I used to be a Mastodon/Fediverse geek back when few people were on it and now even the organisation I work for created a profile! So happy with the huge strides decentralised social media has taken! 🥰

Overheard the bus driver:
“I’ve got the worst sight of everyone you’ve ever known”
Me: oh boy

Enjoy your beer like nobody’s watching

So I was having this juice and happen to notice a weirdly specific thing quite prominent on the label

“Vitamin E contributes towards protecting cells against undesirable oxidations.”

Scientifically correct? Definitely!
Meaningless for 99.99% of consumers? Yes.

Today we remember the victims of Nazism and Stalinism. Totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, be them fascist or communist have taken the lives of many, and they still do.

May Europe and the world reach the day where we can all live in peace and democracy.

In the news:
“In a year, Portugal lost 128k workers with higher education degrees. […] Analysts hypothesise it’s due to the emigration of the highest qualified.”

It is sad, but unfortunately not surprising :(

Come on, Bluesky, you know it’s not going to be easy to move me out of ActivityPub
