Zohran Mamdani - the new mayor of New York is an islamist. And as a true islamist he starts to dismantle the state and particularly the justice system of USA.
Pořád tu čtu vtípky na ceny pamětí, ale bral jsem to tak nějak s nadhledem. V lednu jsem za 3000,- bez větší potřeby nakoupil maximum co deska unese, tj. 64 GB, tak mě to ani nezajímalo a na ceny jsem se podíval až teď. Jakože cože - čtyřnásobek?? Tak to je fakt síla.
Nektere navstevy jsou za trest 🫣 Dlouho se vam nechce jit, ale nakonec se rozhoupete a jdete s virou, ze tentokrat, tentokrat to bude treba lepsi. Omyl jeste hur. Na onu navstevu chodim v nosenem obleceni a nejlepe po kole. Proc? No prototoze navsteva u zname je kolikrat horsi, nez navsteva hospody v casech kurackych. Minule za 1h 4x 🚬, dnes za 1h 7x🚬. 😵💫+🤢. Ja jsem tedy taky sice kourila cca pres 20 let a v hospodach velice hojne. Dochazela jsem do ,,pajzlu", kde nebylo pres dym skoro ani videt, a tak me tyhle nastevy vraci do mladi, ale zrovna ne tak jak bych cekala a chtela. Tedy po skonceni huliciho krouzku a nevolnosti manzela jsem hned letela do vany a drhla i oci 🙄 Dostala jsem to skoro ze vseho akorat z nosu a ust ne 😮💨 Tohle je proste i na me moc. Nevadi mi 🚬 venku ale v nevetrane mistnosti s takovou razanci to je humac. Priste se nevyhnu tomu, ze to budu muset rict natvrdo. Mate podobnou zkusenost?
@archos Taky pekny :) ale tam se aspon dalo okno, tady na navsteve je mi to blby 😄 Vydrzim sootva hodku s otazkou Ty uz jdes? tos moc dlouho nepobila.. a ja zelena skoro utikam...
Montreal’s main commuter rail and bus system, Exo, is dropping long-term projects and investments amid a financial crunch – and accessibility advocates are pushing back.
I feel like the android keyboard is really bad with talkback at the moment. Like, really bad. This morning when I was in the car I had an issue with my Pixel Buds. I wanted to google it, but this is where the issue appeared: As you may know, typing on Android devices with Talkback is already a quite slow experience even using direct touch. But imagine even if your finger is on the proper letter, if you lift it it chooses one that is next to it basically every third letter. If you have at least some bit of imagination, this will probably be very bad in said. And let me tell you, it infact is as crappy as it sounds. I sincerely hope this is something which gets fixed as soon as possible. I already noticed it two or three days ago. If this won't be fixed, my phone simply isn't workable with and I will need to use voice messages and dictation for everything. #accessibility #a11y #google #android #pixel #googlepixel #talkback #blind
Try turning off Smart Typing (maybe the other options too) in the Corrections and Suggestions section of the Gboard settings. This has made my phone's keyboard much more responsive again. Or just switch to another keyboard such as HeliBoard.
@radiorobbe Thank you, I just turned off Smart Typing. At a first glance, it seems better now. But of course i could be wrong since I only tested it for a short while. Let's see how it works out in the next week.
That's why I gave up Android for iPhone several years ago. also the absence of a magic tap equivalent which basically makes the main function of the phone quite useless.
for me the most important is that it must answer calls in all the messengers, from bare phone to WhatsApp to Telegram to Teams to Signal, you name it. And on Android it's a freaking quest to answer a call, each and every time. It's a good system, I like its openness and stuff, but while it doesn't allow me to simply answer a simple call reliably and while it has those atrocious keyboard issues… sorry, no. #Android #Accessibility #TalkBack
@menelion Yeah I honestly can get where you're coming from. For me personally it's just easier to stick with Android. I'm more used to it, I've been using Android since my 10th birthday and never really disliked my experience. But again, I can totally get where you come from and at the end it's a matter of user preference. I appreciate to talk with someone who is not the typical "Android is meh, but I haven't tried it, but still IPhone is better" stereotype though. LOL
You'll be surprised, I come from Android, I've been using it since 2013 and still have an old Android 9 phone I use as an audio book player. I don't like Apple's closeness, I am not in their ecosystem, I just have an iPhone SE for accessibility.
@menelion I see. For me it's the other way around honestly, for a short while I used to do some things with an old IPhone 11 pro from my sister. Please let's not talk about the poor battery LOL. That's btw also the reason why I don't use it anymore. I mean I also don't see an use case for it atm anyway but yes.
Yup, typing on Android just get's worse somehow. I think if I couldn't turn off TalkBack to type I'd go crazy. I have to say though, I need to use the BSI more, that seems actually quite nice. But I wanna know how it compares to IOS.
@jonathan859 Why not just get a TV keyboard and have done with it? I hate typing on iOS/Android, it's just slow and painful. I'm interested in writing, not in some sort of "look at what I can do" game.
I really hope SteamOS, the popularity of handhelds like the Deck and Asus ROG Ally series, and eventually the Steam Machine lead to more developers officially supporting Linux - particularly developers of multiplayer games.
I knew I wasn't crazy. Because AMD force updated me my rog ally's been having some stupid ass memory issues. It used to run games fine and now it's really struggling even with something as basic as hearthstone. I guess I'll be figuring out how to roll these drivers back without breaking anything.
@ToniBarth It's the older one, not the XBox one. the Rog with 24 gigs of ram. I've got 8 reserved for my GPU. Last of us two ran fine without the updated drivers. it bitched about it, but it ran, I'd take the slight complaining over whatever this is. Hearthstone's graphics are as low as I can get them, I experience random stutters, slight but they happen, ram useage is way higher than it has any reason to be even with apps like discord and whatsApp shut down.
Weird. Did you check Reddit or other platforms where users usually come up with diagnostics or solutions rather quickly if they figured out what is going on?
@ToniBarth I did and it's a thing people are having issues with, I just haven't found a good set of step-by-step instructions on how to fix this. I've found youtube videos, but I do better with text because most videos like that are typically, I'll click here, I'll do this, and here. or. this. isn't very descriptive.
The Canada Revenue Agency paid $18 million for a chatbot the auditor general says gave her team the wrong answer 66 per cent of the time.
..
“We found that Charlie provided accurate answers in only 2 out of the 6 questions we asked it, while the other public web-based conversational artificial intelligence tools answered 5 out of 6 questions accurately.”
The finding stunned Liberal MP Anthony Housefather, who asked Hogan at the time “how is it that the government’s tool specialized for the CRA is worse than the average tool that anyone else can access anywhere?”
It's important that there be legal precedence that if a chatbot says something wrong in your favour the organization needs to honour it. Otherwise this garbage is just them hiding away from liabilities.
@hub I heard about the Air Canada case, but didn't know how it turned out. That's excellent if they lost. As potentialvictims consumers it's important to keep transcripts whenever talking to one of these things is unavoidable.
CTV News Vancouver reports Air Canada’s chatbot gave a B.C. man the wrong information. Now, the airline has to pay for the mistake:
Air Canada has been ordered to compensate a B.C. man because its chatbot gave him inaccurate information.
Good.
You know that Hegseth is looking at Rubio going to Times New Roman and is thinking of moving the Pentagon to a Blackletter type named something like "REICHFACE."
@Scott Same here. Scott's link is the general one to the catalog without filter, mine is the one that pre-filters nks and free products at the same time, and it works fine in chrome and firefox here.
Do you remember NFTs? I remember NFTs. They exploded onto the scene in 2020 and were *everywhere* in the public discourse. At their peak in 2021, there were something like $25 billion in NFT sales globally. There were NFT Super Bowl ads. Jimmy Fallon had Paris Hilton on his show to awkwardly shill for NFTs.
And then, by 2022, 2023 at the latest, the bubble had burst and NFT market had lost up to 99% of its value.
Blessedly, I never have to think about those fucking Bored Apes ever again.
I remember thinking, when NFTs first appeared, that they were so obviously a scam, but also a vague sense of surprise that such an obvious scam was proliferating while we were still living through the previous blockchain-related scam, cryptocurrency. And since the NFT bubble burst, we moved on absurdly quickly to the next tech scam-bubble, AI.
I just can't imagine simping for a government controlled fiat currency that they intentionally devalue year after year and being powerless to do anything about it
for being a self described anarchist, you seem to really love government money

Trump’s DOJ Pressured Lawyers to “Find” Evidence That UCLA Had Illegally Tolerated Antisemitism ---
“The end goal was never to conduct a thorough, unbiased investigation,” said one DOJ lawyer. “The end goal was to file a damn complaint — or have something to threaten the university.” propublica.org/article/ucla-an…
An investigation by ProPublica and The Chronicle of Higher Education reveals how the U.S. government ignored due process to gin up its attack on the University of California.
Wenn Harmonie, Ruhe und Frieden nur so lange funktionieren, wie Marginalisierte den Mund halten und Unrecht nicht ansprechen, dann ist das nichts anderes als Unterdrückung und Gewalt. Das betrifft gesamtgesellschaftliche, aber auch kleinere Kontexte.
I am not a talented person, I’ve never been called “gifted” or anything like that. Anything I can do, anything I achieved took a lot of work and stubbornness to achieve. Don’t get me wrong.
An der Affaire um die verzockte Zahnarzt-Altersvorsorge kann man gut sehen, was eine Aktienrente für die Versicherten früher oder später bedeuten würde.
Zahnärzte aus Berlin, Brandenburg und Bremen bangen um ihre Renten: Ihrem Versorgungswerk droht ein Milliardenverlust. Nun fordern sie Hilfe vom Bund und kritisieren Berlins Wirtschaftsverwaltung.
Should other countries treat Americans the same way America is now treating tourists by taking DNA, fingerprints, mug shots and by going through the past 5 years of their social media?
Climate models & weather models all deal with chance and probability. Most of us (including me) do not understand probability all that well. Can we use checking the #weather, personally, to better understand #ClimateChange?

@WeirdWriter wrote this blistering counterblast to #LLM infiltration into our communities and how it undermines our confidence in our ability to create and do what we love. As well as the joy and care in community rebellion when it can seem hopeless.
Writers also need support, they'd like to eat and pay rent sometime this month. Especially as the market appears to be hostile to true writing that doesn't enforce the status quo.
It's that time of year again! 🎄 🎄 🎄 Wait, no not that, we mean: ⌚ ⌚ ⌚
Yes, it's time for a new Gadgetbridge release! 🎉
Version 0.88.0 supports even more gadgets than before, is more stable than ever, handles and displays your data better, and fixes several mild annoyances.
And it does all this while keeping your health data fully private, outside the reach of vendors and big tech. 💪
trying to imagine unnecessarily Wrapped apps. Calculator going “August was a great month for multiplication.” 1password like “Queen, you used a lot of passwords this year and tyV5/h7h9-xekvy was your favourite!” Calendar just shows you how many hours were spent in meetings, & it’s probably too many.
