But the old growth model is reaching its limits.
Fuck yeah!
Too much of Central and Eastern Europe still sits in the middle of value chains rather than at the top of them.
Oh… In that way. I hate this constant king of the hill. It is like we will never have enough until people understand resources are much scarcer than they seem.


Our main objective should be to lower barriers for people to generate their own power. When local communities manage their own grids they have faster response times to blackouts or climate events.


Sorry, I was making a deep dive on the developer’s X account and writting a whole rant and gave up.


This is a disinformation post.
A new Portuguese transparency project is betting that the best anti-corruption tool may not be a commission, a speech, or another reform package, but a database.
Launched around a public call for scrutiny and contribution, the initiative — Observatório de Integridade / Open Tender Watch — aims to ingest public procurement data, connect it across multiple sources, and flag patterns that may deserve closer investigation.
The “project” is presented as an official tool but it is just a vibe-coded project (https://github.com/bit-of-a-shambles/open-tender-watch) by a random person on GitHub. The whole post rides on the radical narrative that corruption is at extreme levels and the “socialist elite”, “subsidy-dependent immigrants” are responsible.
Transparency as a Workflow
There is also something telling about the project’s open-source posture. The public repository invites not only programmers but contributors who can verify records against original portals, suggest new data sources, improve the flag catalogue, or help translate the work.
Making it public on GitHub is not enough for proving that the project is legitimate: the code was made by machine and non-tech people will never take the time to check if the data is real and processed in a fair, transparent way.


Finally a decent politician going on the field to help the people!


One problem that I see with nuclear is that energy production has to be accessible enough such that anyone can create their own independent network. I don’t believe nuclear has achieved this yet.


I was enthusiastic about this project. But I am afraid these recent tangents will only reduce momentum.


Using HTTPS is terrorism.


Carmakers need to stop sabotaging themselves to compete.


In political unstable times, a controversial project taking time gives more opportunity for opposition to delay or cancel the project. It is not my thinking that is short-sighted.


Why have we seen some countries try to revive nuclear? It is not better than alternatives. Old plants are already too old to operate and new ones are expensive and take time. Is it just an excuse to continue mining and keep dangerous materials?


This election had high turnout for a presidential. Some of the leaders on the right are afraid to admit support for Seguro, but you already see some others saying they will vote for him. Ventura is too extreme for most and that is why many went with Gouveia.
