I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in daily posts. Hope you enjoy! More of them in the archive. How Rodrigo (it’s me!) brings a humanistic view to consumer technology. Buttondown, the service I use to manage Manual‘s newsletter and which sponsors Lerama, has a series of...
Comic strip: @inpc@go.mxtthxw.art. From Anthropic's “studies” claiming that Claude did this or that to Moltbook, a “social network for AIs” (which seems to be a lie), it's always the same story depicted in the comic strip above: people telling AI to behave in a certain way being shocked when AI behaves in that way....

The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K, Ars Technica. The realization came after LG and TCL ended production of 8K TVs. (I'm still on Full HD…)...
For days now, I've had a quote from David Bushell stuck in my head: Has anyone else noticed that the AI industry can’t take “no” for an answer? AI is being force-fed into every corner of tech. It’s unfathomable to them that some of us aren’t interested. David complained about receiving communications from Proton...

Godier dubbed the feeling of coming across hundreds of unread items “phantom obligation”: “The guilt you feel for something no one asked you to do.” This applies to so many things…...

Deezer confirms demonetization of up to 85% of AI-music streams due to fraud and moves to sell AI-detection Technology. More than 60,000 AI-generated songs are already sent to...
Living in 2026 consists of fighting with other people on multiple fronts, which has become normalized as “competition.” This applies to everything and always generates a paradoxical effect: the intensification of our private daily wars worsens everyone's lives. In the latest edition of the Australian newsletter...
The way Signal is built — with people's privacy as a priority — makes it difficult and slow to release features that other apps have had for a long time. They take a while, but they get there. The latest version, now available, introduces pinned messages in individual and group chats. It works on Android, computers,...
