En QR-kod ledde dig hit.
Jag har slutat använda mina konton på de stora sociala medierna. Kort sagt, varför:
Om du inte betalar för produkten är du produkten. Precis som AI idag gick de här plattformarna i flera år på riskkapital. Nu måste de leverera siffror, och det är därför tjänsterna blir sämre och vi hela tiden hör om vad de gör med vår data.
De bygger också på dark patterns: gränssnitt gjorda för att manipulera snarare än tjäna. Det vägrar jag stödja.
Några höjdpunkter från trovärdiga källor:
Så vad är det här då?
Jag bor utomlands och vill fortfarande dela mitt liv med de jag känner, och de jag kanske kommer att lära känna online (jag älskar fortfarande att nätverka), utan att lämna över det till en miljardärs algoritm. Jag tror på det fria och öppna internet, så jag finns på Fediversen: tusentals oberoende servrar (Mastodon, Pleroma…) som pratar med varandra, som e-post. Ingen enskild ägare, ingen muromgärdad trädgård, inga annonser.
Enklaste vägen in: en kort förklaring, gå med på mastodon.nu, tryck sedan på ⁂ follow på sidan. Eller skippa kontot och prenumerera via RSS.

I've stopped using my accounts on the big social media platforms. Briefly, why:
If you're not paying for the product, you are the product. Like AI today, these platforms ran for years on VC money. Now they have to make their numbers, which is why they keep getting worse and why we keep hearing about what they do with our data.
They also rely on dark patterns: interfaces built to manipulate rather than serve. I won't support that.
A few highlights from reputable sources:
So what is this?
I live abroad and still want to share my life with the people I know, and the ones I might come to know online (I still love networking), without handing it over to a billionaire's algorithm. I believe in the free and open internet, so I'm on the Fediverse: thousands of independent servers (Mastodon, Pleroma…) that all talk to each other, like email. No single owner, no walled garden, no ads.
Easiest way in: a short explainer, join mastodon.social, then hit ⁂ follow on this page. Or skip the account and subscribe via RSS.

Deixei de usar as minhas contas nas grandes redes sociais. Resumidamente, porquê:
Se não pagas pelo produto, o produto és tu. Tal como a IA hoje, estas plataformas viveram durante anos de capital de risco. Agora precisam de dar lucro, e é por isso que continuam a piorar e que ouvimos constantemente falar do que fazem com os nossos dados.
Também usam dark patterns: interfaces feitas para manipular em vez de servir. Recuso-me a apoiar isso.

Então o que é isto?
Vivo no estrangeiro e ainda quero partilhar a minha vida com quem conheço, e com quem talvez venha a conhecer online (continuo a adorar fazer networking), sem a entregar ao algoritmo de um bilionário. Acredito na internet livre e aberta, por isso estou no Fediverso: milhares de servidores independentes (Mastodon, Pleroma…) que comunicam entre si, como o email. Sem dono único, sem jardim murado, sem anúncios.

🇸🇪 42! Inte allt för illa för första rundan av årets På Spåret!
Får medge att man tog hjälp av Duo-Appens alternativ vid två tillfällen och att i vanlig ordning så var kartplaceringen den tuffaste biten. Kul att Skara och Västra Götaland var med! Någon annan som kollat och tävlat? Vad fick ni för poäng? #PåSpåret
When we came home we put on headphones and took a brisk walk to the ocean and back through a park. I listened to Verkligheten by #SoilWork.
Now I'll have a light dinner.. some Spanish Gazpacho and parmesan toast.
And tomorrow I'll work!
🇸🇪

När mitt hjärta bultar och blöder!
• I'm sick as of yesterday. Woke up with a sore throat and a fever. C'est la vie.
• One of my all time favorite guitarists, Andy Williams from the band Every Time I Die, has passed away. Rest in peace
• I released a repo on GitHub yesterday, "rSpec bisect but for PHP Pest". Quite niche but a time save 3-4 times per year for a lot of people I bet.
• I'm gonna be engaging in some Curemaxxing today like watching Batman, eating ice-cream and chicken soup.
I'll join in on the #TechIsShitDispatch briefly... it took 15 minutes to get in because I needed to download an app, register on the app, register my email on the gym's phone. It then borked and beeped for a minute before I could enter...
We ended up going to the movies to watch the #Odyssey. At first we went to Madpizza in CascaiShopping... we had "Reuben sandwiches"... which... felt more like ciabatta sandwiches with a hint of cubano's but if one allows pretention to subside they were good, cheap and filling.
Then there was the movie. Almost three hours in length. I actually really enjoyed the pacing abd cinematography. Oh, and I've snagged some books as well!
Having lots of fun though!
Went to the beach nearby. Yellow flag day, so we barely dipped in, but it was nice anyway. We grabbed a burger there too that was acceptable. On the way home we swung by a place called Liberty and had syrniki with black currant kompot, smetana and thyme. I love them. Made Toby try a Bumble (coffee + OJ), which is mostly a ticket to acid reflux in our book, but OK. I had sbiten instead.
First, we went to Monsanto, which has a view over all of Lisbon from a mountain covered in forests... well had I read enough I would've known it was closed for maintenance(?). We walked in the woods either way. Then we made it to Almada, saw Christo Redemptor, had Korean food,walked from there to take the ferry to Cais Do Sodré, went to the market, then into central #Lisbon and finally Decathlon to buy shoes.. 20k steps total in the sun😅

Heavy rains here in Parede in #Portugal
But today we're just kicking it back, playing Portal 2 Co-Op! 🤓😌
A "Mentonnaise" Salad and with an Airfryer Salmon seasoned with rose pepper and Salicornia.
The salad has roasted pine nuts, oranges, artichoke hearts and finely sliced fennel.. deliciously varied and refreshing!
Totally copped the recipe for the salad from here for anyone interested:

#Programming #CProgramming
Just survived the intense 2-hour problem-solving gauntlet (Robuzzle-style programming puzzles), and my brain is officially toast. Managed to push through to level 14, but honestly, who knows if that is enough to clear the cut?
Fingers crossed! Finding out within the next 48 hours whether I get the green light for the Lisbon campus check-in.

How is your friday?
#FensterFreitag
If I keep finding things like this, while blocking a lot of other things, the internet might not feel like a nauseating hellscape in 2026 much longer. 🧘♂️ 🦎
