"Andy Warhol: Somebody gave me this telephone... I think it was Edie... yeah it was Edie... and she said I could talk to God with it, but uh... I don't have anything to say... so here... this is for you... now you can talk to God." - quote from Doors movie 1991

Does anyone know where I can buy a backpack just for a laptop? No extra space, just the laptop. #LazyWeb

“True simplicity is, well, you just keep on going and going until you get to the point where you go, ‘Yeah, well, of course.’ Where there’s no rational alternative... Making the solution seem so completely inevitable and obvious” - Jony Ive

I've been watching Transparent https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3502262/ and now there is a Jesus Christ Superstar medley inside my head :)

‘Tax cuts for the wealthy have long drawn support from conservative lawmakers and economists who argue that such measures will "trickle down" and eventually boost jobs and incomes for everyone else. But a new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of such tax cuts have only helped one group — the rich.’ - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tax-cuts-rich-50-years-no-trickle-down/

I really like that the Mastodon v3.3.0 modal background color changes to match the image https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/15217

It's a small change but it's pretty noticeable to me.

Mondays!

In case someone is checking for Mastodon index corruption following this tutorial https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/troubleshooting/index-corruption/

Talking about fake news and spreading fake news. It's perfect.

Here is the original video for anyone that understands Portuguese

One of the most known political commentary person in Portugal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Sousa_Tavares said today in an interview that fake news is a big a threat to democracy and that as soon as 2021 there will be a new technology that will stop fake news. This technology is called... wait for it: blockchain.
When asked what blockchain was by the interviewer (that I suppose has never heard of blockchain) he said that the answer was in the name: to block a chain of fake news. #theirony #fakenews

I really like the new Raspberry Pi 400 idea of a #raspberrypi in a keyboard https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-400/ the specs are decent but I just can't wrap my head around using an SD card as the main OS drive.

And here we are, mask wearing will be mandatory on the streets of Portugal.

Imagine someone predicting this one year ago.

There is a Portuguese novelist (António Lobo Antunes) who says that he writes every day for about 12 hours a day. Still, on a good day he only ends with half a page of work.

This always confronted, puzzled me.
