We’ve been doing this for more than 2 years here. We live in a tropical country.

We prefer to use buckets. Similar to this: https://www.ruralsprout.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/vermicomposter.jpg.webp

We only compost raw vegetables and fruits (non-acidic) because that helps to maintain a healthy environment for the worms with less pests. It’s also easier to maintain.

The only pests we’ve had area: ants, flies and beetles. I believe ants and beetles’ eggs came with some grass we used. Last weekend, I noticed a tiny frog too. I’m hoping it will help me control the insects. 😁

We have 6x15L buckets plus additional buckets for vermiwash. That’s enough for a family of 2.

Benefits: less trash, free nutrients.

Negatives: be prepared to spend half an hour per week in order to mix the waste, kill the ants, clean the buckets, etc.

It doesn’t seem to be your case, but I wouldn’t recommend vermicomposting to tiny spaces, e.g. apartments, because of the flies.

Google and Apple were notified in order to block access to X/Twitter’s app in Brazil on their app stores.

No, that’s an oversimplification. The judge has been asking the representatives in Brazil to block some accounts that have been spreading disinformation. The representatives replied to the judge saying they’re just representatives and X/Twitter wouldn’t comply with that request. In Brazil, if you’re the representative of a company, you have to have the power to comply with Brazil’s laws. As they were not complying, the judge gave them extra time to comply and mentioned if they didn’t comply, the local president/director/representative would go to jail. That’s when X/Twitter closed the representation in Brazil.

After that, the only action left available for the judge was to block X/Twitter.

That makes sense. Brazil’s number is close to its peers in Latin America and the Caribbean.

People usually use the open source definition from the Open Source Initiative. That definition does have extra requirements:
