Turns out EU Commission doesn't want to follow all laws made by EU Parliament. Just like any other executive vs legislative two branch government.

🇬🇧 Von der Leyen‘s EU Commission sues the European Data Protection Supervisor to keep using Microsoft Office and Cloud Suite which violate EU privacy rules.

Did anyone hope this Commission would crack down on Microsoft for the violations?

The Rise and Fall of Jailbreaking: How Apple Killed Cydia youtube.com/watch?v=8INdSXHIPI…
in reply to Andre Louis

I usually replace them all with ":separator.", with the colon at the beginning and period at the end being intentional to force a slight pause. But that's only because that's how NVDA speaks the `<hr>` element on a web page, and I'm used to it for that reason. What I'd really love is to be able to tell the speech synth to pause for N seconds instead, and/or play a small sound file. @modulux
in reply to James Scholes

Yep, that's a great idea, though better for section breaks than pseudo-quotes.

Apple Finally Solves the Bad AirPods Call Quality That’s Been Plaguing Users for Years.

> Roland, a computer engineer, first spotted the update in the latest Mac and AirPods firmware beta and shared his findings on his X account. He said Apple has managed to maintain a 48000kHz sampling rate while the microphone is in use—a feat akin to “black magic.”

@FluidEscence No, 48k mono both directions. Should be interesting on TeamTalk.
in reply to Jamie Teh

@jcsteh @FluidEscence They also go into stereo (although with a lower sample rate I think) when you use SharePlay, since you're listening to media while on a phone call. I haven't tried that in a while and don't remember if I was on the latest pros when I did.


Fotografia z čias, keď sa pivo v krčmách nestíhalo čapovať. V dnešnej dobe, aj kvôli vysokým cenám, majú problém v niektorých krčmách vyčapovať 50 litrový sud piva za deň.

Tak tomuto ja hovorím čistá tragédia! 🍺

Ale je i dost lidí, co k odreagování nepotřebují hospodu. Lidi více sportují, mají na výběr více koníčků. Tím nechci říct, že je pivo levný 😄

@archos počkej, až co to se mnou udělá a pokud to bude mít blahodárné účinky, můžeš to němčourům navrhnout 😅

@archos Amazon to má, i když, pokud vím, jen pro dělnické pozice, každopádně s třídenní směnou dostává work life balance opravdu jiný rozměr

In France, the left coalition comes in first, Macron second, the far-right third. The best way to defeat fascism is not centrism, it’s a strong left.
in reply to Dr. Lucky Tran

but what would that be in a FPTP polling? The one with most votes gets it in one round.

There would have been a whole lot more of black dots.

If anything the French legislative election show that FPTP is still shit.

Cancelled Too Soon: Max Headroom (1987) cancelledscifi.com/2024/07/05/…
in reply to David Goldfield

Couldn't agree more! Max Headroom was brilliant. The show still holds up.
in reply to Darcy Burnard

I agree; I think Max Headroom holds up well. Last year, I discovered that the series was available on iTunes and it was great seeing it again and hearing it again with such excellent audio.

@DHSDarcy Another older SF series from around that same time that I think still holds up today is Alien Nation, which did some pretty amazing stories.
in reply to David Goldfield

Oh yeah. I remember really liking Alien Nation at the time. Definitely one that I would revisit.


@helpers I write from my mastodon profile because from my account tness@venera.social all the messages not leave and not happen. Only the RSS that work. My question is :

on #mastodon my timeline is clean I can release the publications of the lists that I want to look at the same time. on #Friendan I ordered my circles and my channels correctly. Is there a way to block or authorize a circle to display publication on the Timeline.

in reply to tness16

If this option excites it allows me to avoid overlapping between the circle and the channels. THANKS

Looks like France dodged a bullet.

All major French outlets are showing early projections of a victory for the left-wing alliance, New Popular Front (NFP).

France's far-right National Rally (RN) has failed to win a majority in the parliamentary elections.

Voter turnout was the highest in decades at 67.1%, and official results are expected early Monday.

NFP and Macron's Ensemble alliance are expected to form a coalition govt.

A bug in recent changes made to Google's apksigner breaks signature copying with apksigcopier, which is needed to make Reproducible Builds work for Android APKs.

Something that's very weird to me is how the media narratives around elections in many countries often emphasize victories by the right and downplay victories by the left. Like the narrative in English media leading up to this result was *all* about the surge in the right and RN's inevitability, and *not* the left coalition being built on the fly, even though— if these results bear out— the left coalition was both more significant and ultimately *more successful*.

Nobody knows what is going to happen now, but one thing is certain: this changes *everything*

🎉

in reply to Niléane

You have no idea how relieved I feel right now. This is incredible. Today, the far right doesn't get to form a government *and* Macron suffers an immense defeat.

This is a good day.
