I agree that the tech culture isn’t healthy. It has been shown to be an unstable position several times these last years. It isn’t as stable as being a medic or a professor, for example. It’s always this “running after an opportunity” feel. I’m a freelancer, so that’s natural, but I think it’s like that for the colleagues who work at a company as well, judging by the news.

Because it deepens the rift. Donald Trump as president also helps Putin a lot, as the russian president have said before, since Trump also wants to shake things up. As could be seen by his tariff policies.

Russia has been cut out from the West, it couldn’t even participate in the Olympics. So it got closer to China. Its economy is resilient despite the war. Russia has also been the leading country in the BRICS in regard to finding an alternative to the dollar together with Brazil. And it is working to ditch SWIFT (the banking system). So I’d say Russia is pretty interested into getting away from the West, at least economically and politically.

If I had to guess (my knowledge is a couple of geopolitics books), I’d say Russia wants to create a rift between East and West that is beneficial to China as well. China helped Russia build a quantum computer recently and there are more clues that they’re getting even closer together. I think Russia wants to shake the current world order.

This is very interesting. And what kind of platform wouldn’t process citizen data on the EU, I wonder?

The Court doesn’t even hide its unfairness. This isn’t good.

In Brazil we say: “you already got the ‘no’, so go for it”. I guess that means milking every last penny and drop from whichever endeavor you take.

If everything goes right (no Lula, no Bolsonaro), Brazil will move towards the Center in 2026.

How does it work? Does it download all Wikipedia or any other website I point it to (like Project Gutenberg as it says on the website) pages or does it download it when I access the page?

Both the Internet Archive and Wikipedia are really important. I guess the way is to make alternatives or datahoard in these difficult times.
