Na semana passada, participei no C-DAYS, o grande evento nacional de cibersegurança, promovido pelo Centro Nacional de Cibersegurança. O desafio que me foi proposto foi abordar o seguinte tema:
Para que servem as “Declarações” sobre direitos fundamentais e princípios digitais?
Chapter 13
the little prince visits the businessman
The fourth planet belonged to a businessman. This man was so much occupied that he did not even raise his head at the little prince's arrival.
"Good morning," the little prince said to him. "Your cigarette has gone out."

No podcast Soberania, do Diário de Notícias, o Director Nacional da Polícia Judiciária afirmou que espera que eu nunca venha a precisar da PJ, enquanto vítima, devido à minha opinião sobre o tema dos metadados.
Uma expressão infeliz… espero eu.

Apparently, NOVA's technical department is too busy to make guides for Linux users (only Windows and Mac). Something that even the University of Lisbon has - which is funny, because NOVA's supposed to be the modern & state-of-the-art university (thus making the University of Lisbon the old & classic one).
Anyway, here is a guide for Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS (I'm not on 22.04, yet). Might be useful for other students.
Having found out about Oliveira Ascensão's e-book (this blog post), I didn't resist reading the article on cyberspace (2001). In its conclusion, Oliveira Ascensão presents us the following reflection:
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the tragic death of Aaron Swartz, "The Internet's Own Boy".
Ten years ago, we had a major loss, a stupid loss.

A new provision entered the scene of EU copyright regulation, deeply affecting the uploading, accessing, and enjoying of online content. Some considerations on the legal and technological impact of Article 17 of the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive.
When Lawrence Lessig published “Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace” in 1999, a new – often misunderstood – mantra was born: “Code is Law”. With his book (later updated to Code Version 2.0), Lessig helped us understand that cyberspace, despite its peculiar nature, was not beyond the reach of physical space regulation. Contrary to popular ideas at the time, which claimed that cyberspace should not – and could not – be regulated, Lessig argued that, in cyberspace, freedom would not come from the absence of the State and, if left to itself, cyberspace would be misused as a tool for control and restriction. As such, a new form of public legal ordering needed to be built for our fundamental values and rights to also be protected online. And it needed to be built within the maze of Codes.
