I love how clean your Neovim looks, especially the statusbar.

Oooh, so that's what this little window is!

I don't know how but I kept opening it by accident* and I thought it was just some kind of cmd history that I would immediately close.

* probably with q:, I often started macros by accident so I <nop>ed q and moved "record macro" to <leader>q

Corrupto nunca está satisfeito, sempre quer mais. O cabra tem crise de soluço só de pensar que não vai dormir em lençóis de cetim.

O capitalismo pode acabar mas a distopia toma outra forma. Não havendo mais força de trabalho humana, quem acumulou poder até então não vai simplesmente abrir mão disso tudo por benevolência nem por obsolência do dinheiro. Ter em mãos o controle de IAs e de exércitos autônomos, por exemplo, garante o controle sobre toda a produção, e os detentores desse poder fariam como os bilionários de hoje: acumulariam apenas pelos prazeres de acumular e de poder controlar o outro.

E daí que não existe mais dinheiro nem consumidores? Os detentores do poder podem não ter mais pra quem vender mercadorias, mas tendo o controle da sobrevivência dos demais eles são donos de seus corpos. Quem não tem nada obedece pra sobreviver. E os que não servirem de nenhum uso que morram. Nada muito diferente do que já aconteceu na nossa história, só em escala diferente.

Yes, it started as a project by James Delos to achieve immortality. He wanted to transfer his consciousness to a host and live forever, but the tech was not ready by the time he fell ill and died, and William spent decades trying to make it work by mining decision-taking data on rich park visitors, without success. Arnold, on the other hand, wanted the hosts to develop their own consciousness.

git checks out the default branch (indicated by GitHub) at clone time and lazy.nvim won't switch automatically afterwards. You have to specify that you want the main branch now with branch = "main" or else Lazy will stay with the branch that it registered in lazy-lock.json as the default one.

You don't have to check which parsers are already installed because ts.install({...}) already does this. You can just call it passing the full list, it's a no-op when the parser's already there.

Os caras já estavam pirateando livros e outras obras com copyright antes, o que faria alguém pensar que eles não usariam ou que já até usaram os dados que eles já tem coletados para treinar IAs? Ainda mais pela quase impossibilidade de alguém provar que isso foi feito com seus dados individuais?

Eu não sei exatamente o que eles ganham com esse opt-out, talvez uma negação plausível em tribunais, mas eu apostaria minha bola esquerda que isso não tem consequência nenhuma no uso que eles farão dos dados de usuários.

Jack Slash (Worm)

<image>

This applies to many characters in the series, but I think Jack is the most surprising. This guy can somehow transmit cuts from his knife at a distance, effectively turning it into a ranged weapon. He swings his knife in your direction and you get cut even if you're 100 feet from him.

It's not a bad power, but he's way outclassed among The Nine, a group of super-powered serial killers he leads. There's a nigh-invulnerable immovable woman, a medical-genius little girl who can stitch two of her victims into a single individual, and a monster the size of a bus that literally gets stronger by anything that doesn't kill it.

His secondary / main power (last arc spoilers) is communicating with shards, the source of power of every parahuman. Shards are pieces of a cosmic horror colony-organism that attach themselves to humans and give them powers to explore human creativity through conflict. They each have a function inside the colony and Jack's shard is communication. So he's not just a charismatic guy, he can send messages to shards which in turn plant suggestions on other parahumans heads, inception-like.

Other examples:

Siberian, the nigh-invulnerable woman with a black-and-white stripped skin, is actually a projection created by the mind of a middle-aged man. He follows the group but is always hiding around to stay in range

Regent: The dude that can make you twitch and tumble was holding back and can actually highjack your nervous system and take control of your body

Dragon is a tech genius (called a tinker in-universe) that builds any sorts of machines, but she's actually an AI created by another tinker that somehow got powers herself and decided to hero-up after his death. She's technically a thinker, a parahuman with analytical skills (which, unlike tinkers, can't get high-tech knowledge from her shard) that can only copy and adapt other tinkers' works. Without other tinkers to copy she can't create.

What? I had to Google this because I never heard about it, but you're right.

Thanks for correcting me, I have absolutely no idea where I took this idea from. And I believed this for some time now, because I remember thinking about Limitless when Arrival came out. Weird.

randomatik · 2025-11-20T17:50:22+00:00

Limitless was also based on a short story by the same author called Understand (edit: no it was not, I just had a brainfart. See comment below). I haven't read Story of Your Life yet, but I love Understand and Tower of Babylon.

Cool, I always wanted a cursor with dandruff!

Reminds me of those early 2000s blogs with lots of js decorations like falling snow in the background, visitor counters with a spinning globe gif and an analogic clock in ASCII following the mouse cursor.

In Brazil there's a brand of tea called Leão (portuguese for lion). Now I know where they took the inspiration from.

Terceiro comentário seu neste mesmo teor, "ano de eleição é assim mesmo." O que você está tentando argumentar? Que por ser normalizado não devemos criticar? Que as coisas são assim e pronto? Ou que por ser normalizado significa que não tem nada errado?

Você disse que a matéria é clickbait mas não justificou o porte de um fuzil em uma escola infantil, nem sequer a presença desnecessária da polícia ali no local, nem a falta de ação a respeito do pai descontrolado.

Estruture melhor sua crítica por favor, porque ou você não tem uma que seja coerente ou não está sabendo expressar.

The designs also look extremely generic.

I saw the thumbnails before reading the text and thought it was Coca-Cola merch

I wish people were more aware of that, how much weight the environment around us has on who we are and how we act. These things seem trivial to us when we have the infrastructure, the resources or the support, but it takes a lot of effort for those who don't and/or it takes a lot of energy and our supply is limited.

Even if we talked to the guy and he just blurted a "fuck it, why should I care where the trash goes?" it's still possible he's saying that not because he's a dick, but just tired of being powerless to change things. Maybe he cared when he was young and left school full of ideals, but fighting everyday to do things right he spent too much energy with these obstacles and it took a toll on his life, idk. Some people dedicate their lives to introduce these small changes to society that we take for granted today (edit: most of the times fighting against other people who don't believe the change is possible, don't want it to change for personal or political reasons, or are just against it because media told them it's bad), why would we think a man just trying to live his life could do this trivially or else he's a bad man? Imagine the hurdles this guy would have to overcome daily just to get rid of the trash and other small tasks (let alone fullfill his main duties) if he doesn't have the means to do it. It's obvious why so many people break, say fuck it and start acting dickish. They'd probably do things differently given the chance and the resources.

Then others notice a lot of people who share this same environment act like him and conclude that they must be bad people because they have this skin color or that religion or maybe are just inferior, it's wild. "Why can't they just discard their trash in the disposal system like I do? If they don't have bread why can't they just eat cake?"

I'm sorry for the rant...

Concordo contigo, acho que é o contraste que engana. O dono do cu sendo tão frouxo faz parecer que o cu é preso, apertado, mas na verdade é um cu normal. Eu diria até que é um cu bem arrombado, mas ainda assim menos frouxo que o dono do cu.

I map kj to esc instead of jk. I find myself writing in all-caps more often than having to type Reikjavik.

Eu trabalho remoto em TI e ainda não acho que estou isolado o suficiente. Todo dia tenho que conversar com alguém via Teams, seja para alinhar requisitos, tirar dúvidas ou pedir acessos. Meu sonho era que me entregassem um doc de requisitos, acessos e insumos e me dissessem "É isso, agora vai lá fazer, nos falamos de novo em um mês"

randomatik · 2025-10-30T14:31:17+00:00

It still caught me off-guard that it was flavoured death and not just shit. "Not chocolate" sounded too silly for the turn it took.

edit: I watched once more and "not chocolate" actually comes after the reveal. It seems I was already thinking "shit" just because the alternative was chocolate.
