More relevant than Bolsonaro conviction, it's that the generals that were involved in the coup plot, were also convicted.

This is the first time that a General get arrested. Brazil had several coups in his history, they never got arrested.

The last general that got arrested in Brazil, got arrested for... trying to prevent a coup. Henrique Teixeira Lott.

Fossil will be reduced a little now too, as State of Roraima is now be connected to Brazilian grid. Before, it had to use thermoelectric and/or buy Venezuela electricity. This week news actually.

Pretty sure Microsoft also tried to compete with Youtube once upon a time. Forgot the name...

In my experience, Claude Code even being designed for Claude Models, still do much better than other CLI alternatives.

That's only if you are using on Z.AI API platform... If you are using from OpenRouter, Chutes, Vercel then it's different (or they expose Anthropics API style and I don't know)

I actually love Chinese captcha lol No idea why mostly only them use...

Qwen-Coder is free.

Gnome is as simple as Windows 8.0. Maybe even less. We know the history about Windows 8.0.

Gnome made several decisions toat make it super complex for normal users. Windows have a taskbar. Mac have a dock. KDE have a taskbar.

And I really like Gnome design language, UI. But the UX is awful.

Which Elon Musk tweets got banned?

The model seems good, but it seems to have huge issues in doing garbage most of times lol.

Still needs more RLHF tuning I guess? As the previous version was even worse.

OnlyFans also support Pix as far I know.

3 years later and Youtube CCs is still horrible lol

He trial is happening. There's a bunch of proofs. He likely will get convicted next month at worse.

Also, the deals he is trying to do with countries are... weird to say the least. Often it requires the country to buy Boeing airplanes. With Japan, it was 100.

Like, how do you even manage to meet that goal if the country don't have a state-owned airline? It feels for me, Trump thinks every country is either a dictatorship or a state capitalism.

Worth to point out that he then manages to lower the interest rates by force, and then, surprise, inflation skyrockets.

If is online, over the phone, etc., you can return or cancel for any reason within 7 days. And this also include services. For example, if I sign up with a new ISP, I can cancel it within that 7-day period (even if it have a 1 year contract).

If it's in-person you bought something, technically you can only return up to 30 days for non durable goods, and 90 days for durable goods, if there's some problems with the product, or a reason etc.

About Pix, I think people forget really how useful it can be to different things.

You can sign documents with Pix! ClickSign and others support it. You can just send 1 cent, and this can be one of the possibilities to sign documents!

Earlier this week, Brazil VP Geraldo Alckmin (who is also a Development, Industry, Trade and Services Minister) meet to talk about tariffs with several big tech executives and also a "big tech" lobbyist. Worth to point out that.... Visa was there.

- Igor Luna, Legal Consultant of the Brazilian Digital Economy Chamber

- Nuno Lopes Alves, General Director of Visa

- Gustavo Lage Noman, Vice President of Government Affairs at Visa

- Márcia Miya, Government Affairs Manager at Apple

- Gustavo Dias, Head of Legal and Institutional Relations Latin America

- Yana Dumaresq, Director of Public Policy at Meta

- Daniel Arbix, Legal Director at Google

Igor Luna were doing heavy lobby against social network regulation that happened.

The point about Pix, it's that Central Bank made it mandatory to all banks with over 500k clients if I recall (smaller banks already wanted of course).

Besides the branding (which tbh it's a big deal), also made guidelines requirements on how the banks needed to implement. Exactly so they couldn't hide or made it worse to use.

Not really. Some banks don't have fees for PJs. IIRC, Inter and Nubank doesn't. Now PoS which offer Pix then yes. All of them do have fees as far I know.

You can put your credit cards on Mercado Pago and pay with it... But yeah. Before PIX, places were going with PicPay and Mercado Pago world... And Pix just "killed" both overnight lol

You can use Tap to Pay with Pix. Although only Google Pay support Pix solution. Apple Pay is refusing because... fees.

Most card machines support it. The PoS just need to accept Google Pay and it will accept it.

This is really not a issue in Brazil. Consumers laws are strong. I actually prefer to use Pix for exact this reason, because I can get the refund in 1 second, literally (already did with Amazon). While with credit cards that's not the case.

Some places give you a discount if you buy things on Pix. Buying on CC is kinda an illusion.

It's more worth to buy things with Pix, and use things like Inter/Meliuz to use 10%~ cashback on stores...

(of course, if you don't want to use insurance or installments).

Btw, my father produce furniture and industrial products, and we always make the price clear to the customer, including what the price would be depending on the payment method. It might not be ideal, but… we prefer to give the transparency to the clients. Because of this, I do say 90% of the clients these days pay only with Pix. A few years ago it was all CC or debit cards.

Some places in France also accept Pix!

Also, Verifone PoS in the US will also accept Pix as well.

I'm not familiar enough with Bancontact, but.... Doesn't Bancontact take up to 3 days to the money to get to business?

Does it support every bank? It feels for me Bancontact feels like a Visa/Master thing?

The point about Pix is how it was created by the Central Bank. Between person, it's 100% free, no fees at all. Between business, they allow banks to charge a fee, but the cost it's super low, so a few banks don't have fees at all.

Pix it's just a way on how you can transfer money from your bank app.

About Google Pay thing, Google Pay here integrated Pix, by using open bank solution. So Google Pay basically becomes a 3rd party client for your bank, and thus, allows you use Pix with Tap to Pay, or... with every website on Chrome's.

As soon as you copy the Pix Code to pay, it invokes Google Pay, and you can pay seamless, without switching to any app.

And because every website, store, supports Pix... This basically delivered Google Pay to everything.

In Brazil, they called it Dolphin Mini. It's been a huge success. BYD now it's ahead of Toyota in sales.

If you told someone like, 3 years ago that this would happen, people would call you crazy,

TOP 9 from May was:

1. FIAT

2. VW

3. GM

4. BYD

5. Toyota

6. Hyundai

7. Honda

8. Caoa-Chery

9. Jeep

Do you buy on amazon with SEPA? Can you do your gym automatic subscription with SEPA? Can you buy stuff on Chrome with Google Pay with SEPA?

All of this is possible with Pix.

Just a reminder that Google Pay supports Pix! You can pay using Pix with QR Code, keys or just NFC with it.

There were reports that Apple doesn't want to implement on Apple Pay...
