i don't know how to judge what that says about him

IMO, it means nothing. We have Felipe Neto and Pedro Certezas (famous Brazilian influencers, Felipe being the one with most followers in the country), who are also fans of Botafogo, and defend a progressive agenda.

I have Mull + uBlock, can confirm the issue

Yeah, but there's also the term "freeware", which means closed source but free to use.

I'll edit my comment for clarity, thanks for the heads up.

It's not enabled in the 4.6 beta version, I think they'll keep it that way

No problem bro, most people here don't know that because it lasted for about 4 days or so. Our first president liked our flag and national anthem from the imperial era, so he said it was bullshit to change them. That's why this "Republic of the United States of Brazil" didn't catch on (thankfully), and got forgotten.

Yes, we used to be.

So, basically every language has a specific word for US citizens, except english? LOL

[-] valveman@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 1 year ago

AFAIK, the word "gringo" is used by latinos to refer to anyone from other countries, not specifically US citizens. But yeah, definitely gringo

I don't think its about posting actual news, but to have something they can monetise through ads.

If there's a shell, there's a way

Lol, what can we actually do in this situation? I mean, for real, what can we do? I doubt pressing our representatives will help, and everything one could do on its own (like stop using cars, going vegan, etc) has little to no effect.

We can't stop factories from working, can't force the creation of a decent public transportation system so people can stop relying on cars, and we can't close all coal-based powerplants and replace them with solar/eolic powerplants. All of these could help a lot against climate change, but one would need to rely on the government, or use violent methods; either of them I personally consider unfeasible.

If there is something we can do, we'll absolutely do it, but I don't see much to do aside being a doomer.
