Hoje o Público explica que o “Populismo [do Chega] dá-se melhor com o espaço televisivo”, como se fosse um fenómeno natural que por acaso se ajusta às condições existentes.

Ontem no café de uma freguesia periférica pude ver o canal Now e o seu analista internacional Ireneu Teixeira (com carteira de jornalista) a dizer, em tom desvairado, que “toda a gente sabe que a flotilha é financiada pelo Hamas” e que os ativistas são terroristas. E toda a gente no café a assentir.

O fact-checking não toca nos jornalistas e os media estabelecidos continuam mudos quanto a estes órgãos oportunistas e ultra-tendenciosos. Não sei se é corporativismo, mas parece q a esfera jornalística continua determinada em apresentar o Chega como um fenómeno natural quando o seu sucesso é claramente reforçado por políticas editoriais comprometidas e incontestadas pelo meio.

My open letter, to the European Commission digital markets act team:

Hello,

I am joining other developers, concerned about Googles new plan, to approve every app and effectively destroy most of the competing 3rd party stores this way. The biggest one of these alternative stores, most known for their focus on user and developer privacy, already states, this would make it impossible for them to operate: https://f-droid.org/cs/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html
Even communities like the XDA forum, where new developers are often introduced to the world of Android development, would likely be strongly impacted, as making, publishing and installing Android apps is made less accessible.

I am not just writing on their behalf, I run a small website myself (https://thecanine.ueuo.com/), that both provides legal modifications, for some android apps - for example adding an amoled dark theme, to the most popular XMPP chat client for Android, or increasing one of Androids keyboard apps height. This all comes after Googles previous changes to the Android operating system, that prevent users from installing old apps (old to Google, can mean only a couple of months, without an update - https://developer.android.com/google/play/requirements/target-sdk and the target version gets increased every year). I rely on apps developed by a single developer, even for things like making the pixel art presented on my website and sideloading as a way to make these apps work, before developers can catch up to Google’s new requirements - if Google is allowed to slowly kill these options, us digital artists will soon lose the tools we need to create digital art.
