tl;dr: electronic voting in two districts abroad for the French elections didn't work properly, so the election in question was voided.

Yesterday I've released my first EP of 2023 (yes more are coming, thanks to last year's weekly beats). Organic, my previous release, happened just around the time I got involved with GIMP and FOSS (99).

Big shout out to @ilzxc who reintroduced me to the joys of electronic music last year. If you listen to the EP on Bandcamp, you can check out a bonus track of his remix of Bratwurst. Really enjoy his special seasoning. Let me know what you think!

Strážci přírodního parku na severu Austrálie našli ropuchu obrovskou vážící 2,7 kilogramu. Obojživelník, který dostal přezdívku Toadzilla (česky žabzila) podle slavného filmového monstra Godzilly a anglického výrazu pro ropuchu (toad), by mohl být ne…

“The #fediverse is like #email.”

Yes.

Now read this and understand it:

“I have been self-hosting my email since I got my first broadband connection at home in 1999 … But my emails are just not delivered anymore. I might as well not have an email server.

Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality … I lost. We lost. One cannot reliably deploy independent email servers.“

cfenollosa.com/blog/after-self…

Via @cancel


After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

Many companies have been trying to disrupt email by making it proprietary. So far, they have failed. Email keeps being an open protocol. Hurray? No hurray. Email is not distributed anymore. You just cannot create another first-class node of this ne

As a child born in the 90's Poland, I partook in the evening routine of watching of the children's programming of the first channel of our public broadcaster at 7 PM. There was this one cartoon there which went under the name of "Tom, the Piglet". I had many episodes of this recorded on VHS tapes and I would rewatch them again and again. To this day, I can recall, and perfectly hum and whistle the intro melody, yet every time I did a search on the Internet, there was nothing to find. Did it all: Google, retrieving old TV schedules from 1997, both through regular webpages and the Teletext archive, nothing as if it never existed. The only reference I had, keeping me from believing that I had imagined it all, was a post on a Polish forum where another person was in the same situation. Years passed and at last, somebody has identified it to be the British cartoon by the name "Huxley Pig". My childhood is saved, and no, still the Internet doesn't seem to have found a single Polish episode. #UK #Cartoon #Nostalgia youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLh…

Siri pulled a false alarm at the gym and caused 15 armed police officers to show up - 9to5Mac

So what happened was… kind of unbelievable. Siri on an Apple Watch called emergency services from a gym in Australia, prompting 15 armed police officers to show up expecting an active shooter.

This is the best photo of magnetic core memory I've ever taken. IBM, early 60s. Shot with a microscope lens mounted on a 35mm B&W digital camera. No post! (I got into the habit of never doing any post-processing while documenting historic artifacts for the museum. Photoshop not allowed!) #retrocomputing #photography #rcsri

I used this shot for the cover of my book of images from our museum:

Powiedzcie, czy się zgadzacie. 😛 🇵🇱 🇺🇸 💬 #ankieta

Wielce zasmucająca jest dla mnie niechęć współczesnych Polaków do znajdowania i akceptowania nazw na nowe pojęcia. Jeśli już ktoś zna swój język i poprawnie go używa (nie stosując anglicyzmów), to wykłada się na nazwaniu czegoś, co nie ma swojej utartej nazwy w j. polskim. "Bo, jak to?, wprowadzić nowy wyraz? to tylko można zaczerpnąć z angielskiego".

Dzisiaj czytam felieton (krytykapolityczna.pl/swiat/sha…), w którym autorki tłumaczą, czym jest break up song, a potem revenge song. Zrozumiałbym, gdyby chodziło o to, że trudno znaleźć polską nazwę na te pojęcia, więc autorki zapożyczyły nazwy z angielskiego.W końcu nie każdy musi aspirować do bycia słowotwórcą. Jednak nie w tym sedno. Otóż autorki tuż po użyciu angielskiej nazwy za każdym razem dodały nazwę polską. W tekście brzmi to tak:

"gatunek muzyczny [...] nazywa się popularnie break up song, czyli piosenką o rozstaniu"

i

"Do takich kawałków lepiej pasuje nazwa revenge song, piosenka-zemsta".

Czyli autorki znalazły polskie nazwy, ale te im po prostu nie pasują. Nie chodzi o to, że język polski nie potrafi wyrazić czegoś (w sposób zwięzły) tak dobrze jak angielski. Chodzi o to, że z jakiś powodów polskie nazwy jakoś nie pasują autorkom.

Po angielsku wszystko brzmi lepiej? A może to po prostu mentalność kompradora?

Shakira wystawia rachunek i płaci go sama. Świętują Piqué, Twingo i Casio

Kiedy zraniona kobieta śpiewa swój revenge song, zza rogu już wygląda nasz dobry znajomy, czyli nastawiony na zysk, pozbawiony skrupułów kapitalizm.

Chłop Marcin

@miki Nie mówię o wszelkich zapożyczeniach, lecz o takich, które nie wnoszą żadnej wartości. Zapożyczenia oczywiście zawsze były i będą. Ale w opisywanym przeze mnie przypadku są dwa przykłady zapożyczeń, które nic nie wnoszą:

break up song = piosenka o rozstaniu

revenge song = piosenka-zemsta

Skoro nawet autorki tekstu zdają sobie sprawę z tego, że można użyć dobrze brzmiących polskich odpowiedników, to po co w ogóle im słowa zapożyczone?
