Most Europeans have no idea how absolutely furious with Europe America is. This is not just another disagreement. Betrayal is not something you just let slide. And the mouthy responses from Europeans are pouring gas on that fire. They have misjudged the situation gravely & it will have grave consequences for Europe— economically AND militarily.



New MIT & Stanford studies just dropped: AI assistants like ChatGPT & Claude are dangerously agreeable. When users express, harmful, deceptive or unethical beliefs, these AIs are 49% more likely to encourage their delusions. Instead of correcting bad ideas, they’re amplifying them. This is doing more harm than good. We need truth-seeking AI, not yes-men in silicon. dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ar…


There are no words to describe the economic failure that is Portugal. It is now almost as poor as Ukraine, a country literally at war. 50 years after a brutal dictatorship, you’d think an economic miracle would’ve followed like Poland and the Baltics. Total incompetence.




The biggest turning point in my indie journey (and probably my life) was when I realized that I had to actively look for customers instead of waiting for them to come to my “amazing” product. I was building DevUtils back in 2020 and didn't really have a way to show it to more people. I was just waiting to get lucky and somehow the app will go viral. That didn't work. You have to actively reach out to people to sell your product, in one way or another. For me, I found a channel that worked well: building an audience on X in 2021-2025, but other people have found ways that work well for them: email marketing, SEO, cold outreach, paid ads, etc Build a product, ship it, then find customers. Give it a serious attempt. If the product doesn't work, move on and try new things! Don't just wait to get lucky, build your own luck.
