Portuguese, born in the sixties. Works in IT.
Várias horas, e algumas centenas de KMS depois, continuo a não conseguir repor a famigerada APP a funcionar.
A famosa APP gov.pt é virtualmente inútil. Sempre que faz falta, a sessão expira. Se tentamos "entrar", os servidores "estão" com problemas e que tentemos mais tarde... Obrigado mas mais tarde espero estar a mais de 200kms daqui. Mal empregado orçamento.
How to use social media healthily: say what you want when you want. Enjoy whatever engagement you get (and don't let it get under your skin if it's not positive) and don't mind if you don't get any. Your worth doesn't depend on it. Like, at all. Engage with other people if you feel like it, don't if you don't. Expect all sorts of interactions, just like in real life. Some people will be great, some will be dumb. Don't feel bad for blocking or muting.
Honestly, something that pisses me off a lot, is someone scrolling in whatever social network with the damned volume up and making us listen to the sound of whatever they're watching! Haven't they heard of the damn earphones?!?!

In my day job I work for an Australian IT company.

I come from a LAN down under.

Huge respect for the EU Commission, @EUCommission, who have updated their webpage with a new follow button — X is out, Mastodon is in!

Remember to reward them with a follow! ♥️🇪🇺

Morning, fuckers.

Forty-eight years ago the proto-Internet (ARPAnet at the time) experienced their date which will live in infamy: a DEC employee sent the first spam email. What's worse, he lived after that. (The glorified salesman who ordered it, I mean: somehow I'm inclined to leniency in the case of the engineer.)

As you may have noticed advertising on the Internet, evolved out of all recognition since these days, has brought nothing but prosperity and a higher standard of living for everyone.

Enjoy the fruit of the poisoned tree.

Reaction to the DEC Spam of 1978

I am writing this on Tusky, which is free software that someone had to write. It is running on an older Android phone, which someone had to assemble from components that other people had to make from raw materials that still other people had to produce.

You are reading this because it was transmitted via a sophisticated international communications system which someone had to design and someone else had to make from raw materials that someone else had to produce.

The electricity also had to be produced by someone, using machinery made by someone else.

Happy May Day, y'all. The world is nothing without our labour. Our masters know this; we should too.

In green, the normal ones.

And then there's the weirdos.
