Na blogu @iurecz vyšel náš přistup k mobilům, technologiím a obrazovkám obecně. Zkusili jsme dát radu jak to udělat na Androidu pro někoho s non-IT backgroundem. Ty technikálie kolem de-googled Androidu atd nejsou ve skutečnosti to zásadní. Díky @hynekolog za spolupráci.

Chytrý telefon pro děti bez nežádoucích aplikací? Řešením může být open-source nástroj AppLock - Blog digitálních svobod

Řada rodičů řeší, jak děti bezpečně doprovodit do digitálního světa. Pro někoho může být řešením oddálení koupě chytrého mobilu či pořízení tzv. hloupého mobilu. Lze ale také nastavit telefon do jakéhosi polochytrého módu.

Mein Gastbeitrag ist heute in der WELT (Debatte) erschienen:
„Eingliederungshilfe: Doch, wir müssen uns persönliche Assistenz auch künftig leisten!“

Ich schreibe das nicht als abstrakte Position, sondern aus der Praxis: Ich arbeite im Bundesarchiv, bin (kleiner) Unternehmer und ehrenamtlich engagiert. Das funktioniert nur, weil persönliche Assistenz mir die Handgriffe ersetzt, die mein Körper nicht leisten kann – 24/7 im Schichtsystem. Nicht als „Luxus“, sondern als Voraussetzung dafür, überhaupt Verantwortung zu übernehmen und produktiv Teil dieser Gesellschaft zu sein.

Im Text geht es u. a. um drei Punkte:
• warum 24/7-Assistenz in der Realität Sicherheit und Selbstständigkeit bedeutet – nicht Komfort
• warum die Alternative häufig Heim/Institution oder Überlastung von Angehörigen heißt (und oft teurer ist)
• warum die Bürokratie rund um mehrere Kostenträger, Nachweise und Verordnungen selbst ein Kosten- und Kraftfresser ist – und was man daran besser machen könnte, ohne Transparenz zu opfern

Ich freue mich über eine sachliche Diskussion – gern auch kontrovers, aber fair.

RE: toot.cafe/@baldur/115740595660…

This post is a good example of why truth and factuality same thing. This is the most viscerally true thing I’ve read in a long while, but the degree to which it’s factual or not is largely irrelevant. It feels like a kick in the gut nonetheless

(It is tagged as ‘non-fiction, so it probably is factual)

RE: someplace.social/@jonathan859/…

Guess what, btw, I haven't been contacted regarding my work time tomorrow until now. My taxi isn't informed yet, and I have now proactively messaged the responsible person. I'd love to just stay at home if I don't get an answer, but sadly this is my fucking job and I don't need even more trouble.

My vocational school class is going to the cinema next Friday, actually, not even just the class, several other classes from the school. Our English teacher was (apparently) able to select a movie from the catalog. But, guess what, oh no how sad, the film has no audio description, but but, we even asked the cinema, so sorry, we need to find an alternative for you. The alternative is that while my classmates to whom I already am separated thanks to several other factors of my disability enjoy themselves next Friday, I'll be sitting at the office (being given the time to work on school stuff), and of course I don't have to stay the full time. You know I'm not even angry, this was totally no surprise to me but it's so fucking ridiculous.

Every time there's news from Mozilla we see a lot of takes around here along the lines of: they're clueless, their heads are in the sand, they don't know their userbase.

Alternative interpretation: We're looking at another case very much like Bluesky - a corporation with somewhat-openwashed branding which knows exactly who their userbase is, hates it, and wants a different one.

The rationale is clear enough; the browser is just a massive opportunity for datamining. The "AI" startups can only dream of controlling a browser with even the marketshare of Firefox. In that light, it's no use having a userbase of technically competent, privacy-aware dissidents who can work around the extractive dark patterns. Let's face it people, we're not profitable to surveillance capitalism

My boss: We want you to use AI to help do your job and increase productivity

Me: *sends an ai avatar to meetings instead of me having to attend *

Boss: No, not like that

F43 FESCo Elections: Interview with Timothée Ravier (siosm/travier) – Fedora Community Blog

The F43 FESCo Elections are open until 7 January 2026. Read this interview with candidate Timothée Ravier (siosm/travier).

Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features.

We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this.

Inclusiveness

September 2025: There are lots of rainbow arches and pavements around Iceland, but this has to be my favourite.

The LGBTQ+ pride colours changing to transgender pride and back again at the far end is a clever idea.

The location of many happy marriages, I'm sure, this pavement can be found at Ísafjörður in the Westfjords of #Iceland.

I just had to convince my husband that his 60 slide, three hour talk on AI ethics would not be a suitable Christmas present for our friends.

Lesbians of the world!

(and also other people I suppose)

I have one remaining thing to get/do/arrange ahead of Chrimbo (excluding all of the other stuff).... and that is get a present for my eldest kiddo. Just between us so be cool and don't say anything, but she's proposing to her girlfriend on Tuesday so (assuming she doesn't tell her to get on her bike) it looks like I will be inheriting a brand new daughter in law, which I'm very excited about. However - I have got ZERO ideas for a Christmas present for one or either or both of them and I thought it might be nice to do something that also encompasses their engagement.

I ask for lesbian engagement because I don't recall having a lesbian wedding in the family before (I have GOT to stop calling it a lesbian wedding) and wondered if there's some cool secret lesbian ideas for engagement and Christmas presents that I haven't yet thought of. So I'd be really grateful if you could get on the secret lesbian underground network, do the special secret lesbian handshake, give me temporary lesbian authorisation/clearance and help me come up with ideas because at the moment they are terrible. It's all..... Vouchers for a nice dinner, which is BULLSHIT. In my head I want to get them like quad-biking and such, but I can't help feel that's mildly offensive and they're not really action-lesbians. I've definitely said the word lesbian too much.

We had some more hiccups in the past day with images: the blurring-API (kindly provided to us by @panoramax for free) was down. This meant that images would be uploaded but would not be shown, instead showing the message 'your image is being processed'

All those images should now be processed and visible

Chtěl jsem dneska makat na webu.
No, mám pocit, že to nevyjde.
Sice se mi fakt chtělo, ale… 😇

Ráno psala manželka, že si zapomněla průkazku do práce, housle a noty.
Tak jsem jí to samozřejmě “musel” přivézt.
Cestou jsem se stavil pro suroviny a už namáčím čočku (bude na kyselo).
Úplně náhodou jsem upadl na gauč a pustil se mi Netflix an Anthony Jeselnik - Na porodním hoří.
Sami vidíte, že příroda si nepřeje abych ten web dodělal 😇

🎇 Happy John Mastodon Day everybody! 🥳

On December 16th, 2022, a journalist confused the Twitter handle joinmastodon (and the webpage joinmastodon.org) with a hypothetical "John Mastodon" ("founder of a competing social media company named after himself") in an article 😉.

I'm setting up a new MacBook, and I need #LibreOffice obviously. It occurred to me that it might be available in the App Store, which would be slightly more convenient than a separate download. It is ... for £8.99. What on earth is going on?!
