@archos @sesivany No a to se jim občas zadaří třeba tak, že celá série baterií je špatná a aktualizace softwaru způsobí, že baterie vydrží pár hodin. Ale je fakt, že se k tomu Google postavil celkem solidně (v rámci možností) a umožnil v některých regionech výměnu baterie, případně slevu na nákup nového telefonu, nebo (v mém případě) vrácení části zaplacené částky zpět.

Switched from #Spotify to #Tidal. 🎉

Reason? Spotify is the biggest player, but rips off artists the most. And now they generate AI crap to rip off artists more. 🤑

It took me a year or so from decision to actually doing it. It's cool that favourites and playlists can be migrated using #TuneMyMusic for few dollars. But I had shared playlists with several people, I used the jam feature from time to time etc.. The social aspect of any service is always the best way to lock users in a one platform, and It worked on me also. But this situation of being a hostage somewhere is uncomfortable for me so much, that I did the switch finally. 🫂

Now I am in phase of discovery of the Tidal service. Maybe I will find some missing killer feature and I will return, but I am fully decided to give it proper trial. 😅

Spotify as a mainstream service has advantage of wide device support, that could be one of the challenges. 🤷

On the other hand I immediately liked, they have a DJ plan to allow you mix the music in supported DJ software. Sadly my favourite software @mixxx is not supported. 🎛️

By the way, what also helped a bit with the switch is, that all podcasts started to monetize, thus on spotify there is always only a short preview version of the podcast. Full one is usally available as a user specific rss link. This pushed me to find separate podcast solution and I am much happier with the solution I found:
:nextcloud: #NextCloud + Gpodder sync plugin as synchronization server
:nextcloud: NextCloud + Podcasts plugin for web browser listening on desktop
:antennapod: #AntennaPod for on the go listening on Android

It's #selfHosted, it's #openSource and that's what I like.

Zrušení zákazu je prohrou evropského autoprůmyslu
Zrušení zákazu prodeje automobilů se spalovacími motory je prohrou paradoxně pro ty, pro které se to dělá. Proč? To se v článku snažím vysvětlit.

Jane Goodall said "You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.
What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
To me this illustrates how everything is interconnected you are not just in the world, you are of it. We are collectively, responsible for so much harm to our world but individually we are responsible for the healing. Collectively we make change.

I asked a shop employee at the supermarket where the cocoa powder was. She laughed, and led me to the shelf.

There were none left. Big gap.

She grabbed a foot stool, climbed up on it and started reaching round the back of the next product.

That's very sweet, really trying for me.

She wasn't even looking, like she knew there was one there. Smile on her face.

There was.

She handed it to me.

"Was that for you?"

Big smile. "Yes, but don't worry, they will re-stock, I'll get one later."

So sweet. I thanked her profusely.

Life is made of magical interactions like this. Connections. Short overlaps into other people’s lives.

Principle nine of nonviolence-
Realise interconnectedness.
These principles come from, and help to sustain, a belief that all life is an interconnected whole and that any problem can be solved once its real nature is understood. In other words, once we understand our real needs we will find that they are not in competition with anyone else’s. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said: “I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be.”

I really wish Prusa had tried to work with OSI, CC, and/or OSHWA instead of greenfielding a new license.

Even if the principle behind this license wasn't misguided, I don't think it's precise enough to legally accomplish any of the goals Prusa stated.

Please don't use this.

Thank you for these regular reports on HackerOne.

I always get a good chuckle out of them as I read Hackerone as in Toblerone (with the swiss german pronounciation as in youtu.be/wyLXR8EgDrc?t=6) before correcting myself.

And it is hilarious and makes me think of chocolate, which is so much nicer than thinking about bug-bounties.

I didn't need this distraction today @prism, so yeah. Thanks for that... Now I won't get anything else done the rest of the day haha.

'Two stories of local legend in which I was unfortunately not involved:

Producer:
"What's that hi-pitched tinny thing?"

Engineer:
"What? Where?"

Producer:
"Right there!"

Engineer begins soloing tracks.

Producer:
"There! That's it!"

Engineer:
"That's a hi hat, Nick.'

Also, from notoriously difficult female singer:
"I have GOT to have more SMPTE in the headphones?"

Needless to say, this engineer gave it to her LOUD AND CLEAR before pressing play again.'

Jingle session, "A Team" session guys with Asshole Client. 30 second spot with a drum fill in the middle. They do a take and the A.C. says NO! the drum fill has to be boom wacka boom boom. So they do another take and when they get to the fill, the A.C. pushes the talkback and says NO! not boom wacka boom boom, boom boom wacka wacka wacka! This goes on for half an hour until the A.C. says " oh for f*ck sake, just play whatever Steve Gadd would play!". The drummer leans into the OH and says "I AM Steve Gadd".

michael brecker was doing an overdub session around the late 80's. he does a pass and the producer says, "Great, but could you play harder?- really wail!!!" Apparently MB just nods his head and does another pass. The Prod says, "That's getting closer, but can you give it even more? I want it to sound like the Big Man- Clarence Clemens!". MB nods and says that he needs to really get the vibe, and could they dim the lights. the AE dims the lights and MB says, "No, man i need them totally off. You, know, get the vibe." lights go off, and they roll tape. when they get to the solo section all they hear is silence. tape stops, lights up. MB has left the building.
MB- one of the greatest.

Imagine your two options for a display driver are as follows:
* A $1000+ software package that you have to pay $200-$300 to upgrade;
* Or a completely free and open source project that's ran mostly by volunteers and a small charity, but it will sometimes make your screen black out if you try to load too much text onto it at once.

Now stop imagining, and become blind. This is now your reality.
