I remember when Star Wars wasn't political. It was a time known as "the movie didn't even exist back then".

How does the government treat work done on public places by the people? Because, at least where I live, the law forbids citizens of doing public works - so, if the community came together to build a park, the govt can decide to demolish it because "it wasn't planned properly". Of course, proper resistance to that usually ends with citizen victory, it really puts a damper on people when the law is against you.

Trump to put his picture in US passports in c/globalnews@lemmy.zip
[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

I can imagine those passports will be worth a lot in the coming years, because if there's one thing 'muricans love is spending lots of money on bullshit that reminds them of some of the worst people in history.

Paying for education that "the market" wants us to have so they can have a larger pool of skilled workers, leading to lower salaries

Found this little gem of a site recently. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in a while (last blog post is from Sep 2025)

Como as Big Techs escravizam o mundo - PODCAST Não Ficção (www.youtube.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/46365352

Podcast longo, quase 2 horas, de Atila Lamarino com João Magalhães, falando sobre o "colonialismo dos dados", como as big techs estão dominando o mundo. A intro é bem longa, pra contextualizar bem o podcast pra quem tá mais por fora das notícias de tecnologia.

Uma das frases soltas que achei muito interessante, "No ano de nosso senhor 2025, eu preciso estudar a Companhia das Índias Orientais pra entender como as big techs hoje estão funcionando"

Outra coisa interessante que conversam é como Whatsapp virou, efetivamente, parte da infraestrutura de comunicação do Brasil, e por isso é praticamente impossível conseguir colocar qualquer alternativa no lugar.

TIL: Romans and Greeks routinely used folded sheets of lead or pewter to inscribe curses (en.wikipedia.org)
 

Greeks and Romans would frequently curse anyone they didn't like, writing it as a curse on a lead sheet, roll it up and pierce it with a nail and put in a specific place, depending on the curse.

Given the amount of such tablets found, they probably cursed someone every other week.
