And I only found out recently when other countries started talking about joining.

For sure! Until recently I didn’t even know it has become some sort of official thing, I always thought that it was just an observation by economists that these 5 countries in particular were “ahead” of the other “developing” countries.
As a Brazilian, I’d rather have Ukraine than Russia in BRICS. Of course EU is certainly more attractive.
Somehow Brazil makes it work, there are many many layers of redundancy so that any tampering would not affect the result, or be obvious.
Forcing myself to write in the format of Conventional Commits has helped me a lot to write better commit messages.
Will it stop people from claiming it was a single judge being political and arbitrary? Certainly not.
It seems that the strongest justification is that they closed their local branch, and have no legal representation here in Brazil, which is required by law for them to be able to operate.
Moraes has done some very good stuff and probably saved Brazilian democracy from Bolsonaro, but recently has been caught in some corruption scandal as well.
At least I hope he still has enough political pull to smack Musk a bit.
Not to defend these things, I also don’t think they work, but the simplest argument is that they work on a metaphysical frequency/energy/whatever, so a physical instrument wouldn’t be able to detect it.
I agree.
But “Political Spectrum” is bullshit anyway, most of today’s issues don’t fit a one-dimensional left-vs-right line.
Indirectly, yes, but not far. The instability created by people fighting over the scraps of his conquests allowed the rise of the Roman empire, and people fighting over their scraps throughout the Middle Ages led to the creation of the modern empires.
Calling the current Brazilian government leftist nowadays is a bit of a stretch.
I posted this question on Mastodon some time ago:
Is there any modern geopolitical issue that can’t be blamed on Alexander “the great”?
More like open source engine for Minecraft-like games and more.
Depends on the type of tiredness.
Physical? Yes.
Mental? The reason will also probably keep me awake.
Sickness? I’m tired of staying in bed.
Português brasileiro fluente/nativo.
Read/Write fluent English, a bit broken speech.
Ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch lesen/verstehen. Es war meine erste Sprache, aber ich habe das meiste davon vergessen, als ich Portugiesisch lernte.
I like to think that anything that CAN be art, if it can be meaningful for someone.
A pebble might be ignored by most people, but a geologist might be fascinated by it, I think that becomes art.
Even in something worked-on at the very least the artist is the observer, and they will put into it the meaning they perceive in it, and if they never share with anyone it’s still art.
My opinion.
While I think it’s extremely overhyped, looking at some “AI” art communities it’s clear that at least some put a lot of effort on it, going over many many iterations and tweaking the program and the results.
And anyway art is “made” by the observer, not the artist, even the results of natural processes can be art.
(AI in quotes because these tools don’t deserve the name, at best High Coherence Media Transformers)
Does anyone think it’s reality? It’s an unreachable ideal to be continuously worked towards.
