I run a good and old tech blog[0] in Brazil for almost a decade. It's been my main income source since 2020, and I'm making more than I did in my last job in a traditional newsroom. I actively avoid programmatic/invasive ads.

I use this trick. It's an added layer of security, although a weak one — Screen Time PIN is four digit-mandatory — and a workaround — as in: not made for security purposes.

I simply don’t sync my vault. I don’t add or change passwords very often, so I treat the vault in my computer as a “main copy” and once a week, during my backup routine, I copy the current vault to my phone. Never had an issue.

This was precisely what drove me off Apple password manager. If your iPhone were compromised, such as in those iPhone unlocking scams[1] (something quite common here in Brazil at least since 2021), it's game over for your entire passwo

Tbh, none of them really attract me right now. They are too clunky and don't have many people to interact with. I'm slightly annoyed by Nostr's proposition and total lack of moderation controls. Even if its developers are wel

Right now it's a nonissue because there's only one server/instance. No idea what will it look like when this changes.

I've been on Mastodon/ActivityPub since 2019 and, honestly, this problem Bluesky is trying to fix has never been an issue there.

Hahahaha, apparently DeepL forged a new word! It's (supposedly) a translation of “mambembe”, pt_BR adjective that means something ordinary, mediocre, half-baked, average (in a bad sense). (Plus, it's sounds amazing, although I ack

I'm not a very technical person, but I think MacPorts adheres better to macOS standards and security practices. (At least it asks my admin password before any major interaction.) Been using for a few years, coming from Homebrew, and it

Substack is just a platform, like Blogger in the past or YouTube today. Which means there are a lot of mediocre writers and a few really good ones, and it's unfair to throw them all in the same bag. Seymour Hersh, for instance, is a he
