Lula used a justice he appointed to order polling stations to stay open past the agreed upon deadline without consulting the courts that are supposed to rule on election matters. That's election interference. I'm not convinced the population is going to see him as legitimate after that stunt.
Brazilian here. It was unprecedented but not unreasonable, given problems with availability of public transportation in a number of locations. Both sides asked for extensions, although in different places that would favour their own bases. A nationwide extension was the best option, even if it was semi-botched due to the time it was decided. Also, the vote difference between Lula and Bolsonaro was much larger than any additional voting would have delivered.
Bolsonaro also sought extra voting time as well. He wanted it done only in certain states but it was granted nationwide. He was very involved in this process and is now crying foul because it wasn't done in a matter exclusively favorable to him!
It’s a tough position to fight for: “Lula only won because too many people voted for him!”.
I think you are equivocating. Denying people their vote indeed counts as election tampering but that doesn’t mean giving more people the vote is also bad.
What I wrote happened. It's not "fake news". What remains to be seen is which polling stations remained open and which did not. This election may need to be annulled.

You can check it yourself, the output and log files for each ballot box are already available. I can see that mine opened and closed at the expected time.
People learning a new language do not need frontier intelligence in a foreign language. They need to learn how to speak conversationally at low cost. That's one of the things this does better than LLMs.
Nevermind the legal liabilities, how is their company viable with this sort of brand damage? Their other business lines aren't making toasters. It's the same line of work. They sell trust.
I had a similar experience after taking a many, many year break from dentists.
The first wanted to give me a root canal surgery and over 15 fillings. No thanks.
The second wanted to give me 8 filings, sell me an expensive bite guard for tooth grinding, which the first dentist did not bring up, and give me a fluoride treatment. No thanks.
The third dentist gave me 3 filings, said nothing about tooth grinding, and recommended a water flosser.
I got the three filings, bought a 'rest in peace' nightguard from amazon, started using conical hydroxyapatite toothpaste and a water flosser, and am taking another break from dentists! When I go again, I'll go to the third one. I found it impossible to figure out which is which from "reviews".
