Of skies and bullets:

1995, when people still had legs on the Metaverse

I bet there is someone who wrote a paper, a book or something about the impact of the death of MySpace on music projects. I'm saying this more or less hoping that someone will one day point me to one, I'd love to read it. What I know is that lately I have been revisiting my record collection and confirming that there is an enormous amount of recording artists and projects that started with the MySpace phenomenon, and ended with MySpace's death.

O Presidente da República disse mesmo que termos este evento Católico a decorrer no nosso país laico é o maior acontecimento da democracia Portuguesa? Que vergonha.

(#zmiwd5q) my translation: «The judge considered that, despite Renault Portugal having claimed the company and brand has no means to block the vehicles, it was proved that "there is a computer platform that was activated, in a way not disclosed, and through which was operated first the blocking and then the unblocking of the batteries”.»

(#zmiwd5q) @movq I don't really know. Here's a concerning quote: «A juíza considerou que, apesar de a Renault Portugal ter garantido que a empresa e a marca não tinham meios para bloquear as viaturas, se fez prova de que “há uma plataforma informática que foi accionada, de forma que as requeridas não concretizaram, e através da qual foi operado primeiro o bloqueio e depois o desbloqueio das baterias”.»

Renault has a remote locking "feature" on the batteries of their electric cars. They used it in Portugal, and that was considered illegal.

Tesla's Dieselgate (and one more great example of how wrong laws protecting DRM are)

(#4nrpsdq) and if so, can we implement migration first?

(#4nrpsdq) @prologic you're planning to stop AP support before doing the bridge?
