Estou a ter flashbacks daquele Benfica em queda livre no final da primeira passagem do Lage.

Musa de Inverno.

So… The thing now on Instagram is spamming by bulk liking my comments, despite being years old, so I eventually click their OF page?… 🙄

Fully awake… 🙄

And in topic of small victories this werk: convinced someone to switch from WhatsApp to Signal, and currently the chat app I’m using less often, and candidate to uninstall, is Telegram.

Another full day in pijamas… Being on a rainy and misty day makes it feel less bad.

It has been a strange few days, with the Meta owned services slowly moving closer to become X. Another blunt reminder that we must move away from these centralized services, that depend on the whim of their owner, into something more open, more decentralized, more transparent and where the user owns its data. This is very uncomfortable and somehow painful, but means transitioning from X, Facebook, WhatsApp to Mastodon, BlueSky, Signal, etc.

While I’m still the “old social media”, and kind of active, I’ve been much more present in this more decentralized and privacy conscious side of the internet, and that’s a trend to continue in this weird near future. Except on Signal, because it’s complicated to move people away from WhatsApp, but there’s still hope to change that this year!

In my mind, and because I’m often out and about during this season, the new year only formally kicks off when I return home. So let’s get this going!

A regressar de Trás-Os-Montes, mas confuso com uma bola de luz no céu que não sei bem o que é…

A bright sunset view is seen from inside a car, with road and sky visible through the windshield.

Not the winter meal you’d be thinking of, but hey, blessed are the modern freezers.
