barbolo··on Brazilian Judge Shuts Down WhatsApp for 48 Hours
I'm a client of Bradesco, a popular bank in Brazil. I've chosen to migrate my account to a digital account called "Bradesco Prime Digital". The main communication channel with my account manager is WhatsApp, so he can take the day off.

I'm also selling my house and I'm pretty sure that every Real Estate agents in São Paulo use WhatsApp as the main communication channel. So no visits today.

I was having a conversation with the pediatrician of my children, so no answers today on what to do with my baby vomiting. It's not so serious to make a call, but it was fine to send a message.

My mother is 63 and sends WhatsApp messages every day to me, so no mommy messages today.

Well, it's not all that bad... I think today may be a very productive day for me.

Do you know what plugins they used to transform Markdown into HTML?
barbolo··on Sirius – Open Source Siri/Cortana Alternative for Linux
Sirius would be a cool name if Siri didn't exist.

I'm just imagining if Linux was called something like Winds. It makes the whole thing look like a cheap copy of the original.

Sorry, I can't take that sirius. Change the name!

barbolo··on Reverse-engineering the new “captchaless” ReCaptcha system
I had forked you, but after reading this I decided to remove the git repository too.

I think reCaptcha is overused by services that should be publicly available for automation, specially in Brazil. I think this is a bad use case for reCaptcha or any other captcha system.

But I also understand that the majority of reCaptcha users are fighting against spam, and the public description of their javascript engine could really hurt the Internet.

Anyway... congrats for your work!
