@nacelnik01 Ahoj, dvě SIM jsem nezkoušel. Ty profily jsem měl, ale po chvíli mě přestalo bavit to přepínání.
Smysl to určitě dává — záleží, jaké aplikace používáš.
Já měl v hlavním profilu jen aplikace z F-Droidu a pak zvlášť profil s bankovnictvím atd.

Pořád si říkám, že když je Google Play v sandboxu, tak co víc může Google vlastně zjistit 🤷
Ale třeba z hlediska bezpečnosti mít bankovnictví v soukromém prostoru je podle mě dobrý nápad.

Happy to report that the Steam OS screen reader no longer requires the beta channel. Activate it by pressing and holding the Steam and View buttons (the button below the left touchpad and the button at the top left of the display.) Can't speak to how early in the process it is available since I only found the right combo after logging in with sighted help, but it's there.

Haven't tried desktop mode yet but game mode is about on par with desktop Big Picture, albeit with limitations if you're not using a keyboard. Wonder if I can repurpose any button combos as Orca/flat review keys, so something like Steam + D-pad sends Orca flat review keystrokes.

TLOU plays well, and I just picked up 2 at 20% off for some hopefully nice handheld No Return.

Next to figure out, via ProtonTricks, how to inject TTS-related DLLs into games like Sequence Storm, which as of now fails to narrate. Then onto getting a working NVDA install so any games using its screen reader API work. I'm not confident it'll be very useful outside of that narrow niche, might almost be worth figuring out how to bridge the small NVDA controller API surface to Orca/Espeak.

On the Steam Deck? Absolutely! Realizing my post wasn't super clear about that, but yes, lots of Windows games run fine on the Steam Deck, including TLOU. The biggest issue I see right now is that there aren't any TTS-related DLLs in the Proton environment where Windows games run, but Valve doesn't lock anything down, so I don't anticipate any issues putting them there (other than my general ignorance of Windows, the registry, and how to wire everything up.)

Profound read on AI use and the influence on students.

"Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection. Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead."

If we call all Norse people from the Viking Age "Vikings", it's only fair to also call all British people from the Age of Sail "Pirates".

"William Shakespeare was inarguably the most famous Pirate playwright."

"Most Pirates at the time were at least nominally loyal to Pirate Queen Elizabeth."

"Under James, the noted witch-hunting enthusiast, the Pirate homeland had finally been united under a single king."

"Most Pirates practiced a religion called 'Anglicism' that differed from that of pre-piratical Britain. But in the far north some adhered to the cult of 'Presbyterianism' and yet others clung to the ancient Catholicism of their heathen forebearers."

"The Pirates once again captured Napoleon Bonaparte, and left him stranded on the remote island of Saint Helena."

"I am descended from Scottish Pirates. Which sounds a lot cooler than saying my ancestors were probably farmers from Fife and sheep thieves from the borders."

It's telling when invisible human workers whose job it is to proof 'AI' output, place no trust in it themselves.

One worker for Google was tasked to find the limits of the LLM software's historical breadth:

“I asked it about the history of the Palestinian people, and it wouldn’t give me an answer no matter how I rephrased the question"

And yet the same query for Israel was profuse with detail.

"We reported it, but nobody seemed to care at Google.”

Today I worked on the proof for weakening. Dangers of being a self-learner: I tackled soundness before weakening, and before doing the review on what precisely proof objects, derivations as trees and so on mean. So I had to build the mental model for these things while doing the induction cases on soundness and getting snagged by the syntax/semantics distinction. I built the right mental model, but I bumped against everything bumpable before getting it.

Oh well, this is what learning maths for me is like: inelegant, slow, irritating, but necessary.

Someone on the Steam subreddit was asking for Valve to make a #SteamOS phone (seeing how the new VR headset is Arm but also playes x86 steam games). And I thought "Hey, I've already got #PostmarketOS on a phone. We know Valve is using some 'FEX' library. How hard could it be?"

As it turned out, remarkably easy. (Though, it helps that someone already wrote a guide for it: wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Ste… )

Pretty sure it's a YMMV situation, but my milage was pretty good.

Ubuntu 15 years LTS. What to think of it?

Imagine living on 2010 software today:
- OpenSSL 1.0, curl 7.20, gcc 4.4.3, autotools 2.6.8
- no http/2, no Lets Encrypt, no Rust or Golang

You‘ll not be able to built todays software on this without upgrading most of the system.

But for people needing linux in products with long term contractual support clauses, it may be good business.

As a FOSS project, you should drop free support for old releases though.

One category that is missing from #Mapcomplete is ‘repairs and construction’, since it is not unusual to find old houses being demolished, streets under repair or even cycle paths closed due to temporary changes... and it cannot be said that this is not essential.

@MapComplete

Una categoria que todavia no encuentro en MapComplete es la de "reparaciones y construccion", pues ya no es tan inusual encontrar viejas casas en demolicion, calles cerradas por renovacion o ciclovias cambiantes... y no son cuestiones que podamos decir que no sean relevantes

in reply to Likan

Oooohhhh... First of all, road works and similar are somewhat temporary, something that #OpenStreetMap generally doesn't map. Or rather, there is no consensus on what duration road works should take before we do map them.

In any case, feel free to open an issue or even a pull request here: source.mapcomplete.org/mapcomp…

Fortunately, getting killed by the CIA by means of predator drone strike is not everybody's threat model. For others - certain French judges for example - a real threat can be getting sanctioned by the US government and completely locked out of US services.

So yes, know your threat model when picking between #Signal and #Conversations_im.

A curious thing about NVDA 64-bit is that in browsers and other environments that use HTML structures, such as GitHub Desktop, it automatically reads notifications. For example, it reads Gemini and ChatGPT responses automatically in Google Chrome, or messages related to GitHub Desktop operations. This behavior does not appear in 32-bit versions of NVDA, or is haphazard at best. I am not sure whether this is simply because NVDA is now 64-bit or because of some internal change in NVDA. I should also mention that JAWS 2025 and 2026 automatically read these notifications as well. And we're talking about NVDA 64-bit alphas. The official release is still 32-bit.

@js hej, hej. Samsung mal tú svoju Galaxy Note sériu snáď možno asi od 2011 až niekedy do 2020, potom to všetko hodili pod Galaxy S ako Ultra variantu

každopádne, perečko ako také je Wacom kompatibilné, takže funguje aj na Wacom tabletoch a tak. + S Pen ako taký mával svojho času ešte BT, takže sa dala na diaľku ovládať spúšť kamery alebo nejaké dodatočné ovládanie s gestami keďže do toho napratali celý akcelerometer.

Problem with the GDPR isn't with the intent, but with its implementation. Which is the issue with regulations: the unintended consequences.

US/Chinese companies grow in the US/China without complying with GDPR, all the while their EU competition is getting mauled by regulation. Then those companies will sell their GDPR-incompatible products & services to Europeans anyway, and of course we'll buy everything they offer, as there are no choices left.

Note: “human right” is only what we agree on.

Proton screen reader accessibility update:
So far it's decent. I can navigate around by headings and landmarks. Each message is a landmark with a level 2 heading. This is functional and very reasonable, but it makes navigating the message list clunky. I've also yet to figure out how to view any message except the latest in a conversation.
Message content is in a frame, so they're easy to find. If I want to get back to the inbox, I navigate back by landmarks til I find the back button.
Navigating the inbox in focus mode sucks. Most of the keyboard shortcuts don't play nice with NVDA, and the only info reported is the message subject. No info on the sender, the data, and whether it's read or unread, making it near useless. opening the context menu does at least correctly move focus to said context menu, so that's good. So, so, so many web apps with custom context menus just don't do this and stick the menu aaaaaaaaall the way at the end of the DOM. Web apps that do it correctly always win brownie points with me.
The Windows desktop app is nice, but for some reason, NVDA can't see anything until I click with the mouse somewhere in the window. Then it works just fine.

Overall, it's pretty good. Not perfect, but more than adequate for checking mail. message navigation could be improved though

A lot of folks are taking this as an argument to ditch Firefox. It isn't—at least not now. Use the tool that works for you, until it doesn't. This is a warning that the AI nonsense won't stop and long-term viability is doubtful. Prepare accordingly.


Mozilla's new strategy document makes it clear: it's an AI company, and the organization you trusted to protect the open web is dead.

If you like video games, I really recommend watching Free Guy (2021)

(Don't ask me where to find it ☠️🏴‍☠️)

We were really surprised that we had never heard of it, because it's full of well-known actors. But then it got hit by the beginning of the pandemic.

Anyway, it's about an NPC gaining consciousness and it's so full of good jokes 😆

I just came across a post that referred to a Roguelite, and I'd never heard of that game genre before, although they have apparently existed for at least a few years. thegamer.com/roguelike-rogueli…
