I still kinda wish Windows 11 wouldn't trick me and call the frame of the desktop window "program manager" with screen readers. This always takes me back to Windows 3.1, even though it is nothing like it these days. Too bad they stop us from even temporarily running the old progman.exe today, if I had it my way, you know I'd be replacing my shell entirely with it just for the throwback.

technically you could wrip the program manager out of windows nt 3.51 and run that as it's a 32 bit app


Here's my new project, a keyboard for one-handed typing. Tens of thousands Ukrainians have injured arms and hands during the war, and my goal is to make an inexpensive keyboard for anyone to assemble at home.

@archos Nová profilovka koukám. 😊👍
- Kati, není něco neodkladného?
- Nic nevidím. Takže asi pohoda.
- Takže nebude vadit, když už nepřijdu?
- Určitě ne. Kdyžtak brnknu.
- Vy chcete od zítřka volno?
- No, ráda bych, ale kdyby to nešlo, tak aspoň pátek. Ale na telefonu budu pořád.
- Tak si ho vezměte od zítřka. Hezký víkend.
- Moc děkuji. Klidný víkend i Vám.
Občas miluju svou práci.

Tak je fajn vědět, že si tě váží 👍👍👍
No jo musel jsem nasadit něco novějšího, už ta profilovka byla dost stará 😄😄😄


@starlabssystems Hey folks, I can’t test this as I’m on an atomic OS but this might fix the trackpad not being disabled issue on the Star Lite:

Add the following to /usr/share/libinput/50-system-starlabs.quirks:

[StarLabs StarLite Magnetic Keyboard]
MatchName=*Keyboard
MatchUdevType=keyboard
MatchDMIModalias=dmi:*svnStarLabs:pnStarLite*
AttrKeyboardIntegration=internal

If that fixes it, can you pls open a PR to libinput for it.

I'm out of warranty at this point so I don't really know what could be done. I've had it since March 2023

@fireborn I’d still open a ticket. They’re good folks. I’m sure they’ll help if they can.

Friedrich Merz verbreitet Falschbehauptungen zur Aufnahme von Geflüchteten aus Syrien und Afghanistan - aber aufgegriffen wird das nur auf Social Media und nicht von den etablierten Medien. Obwohl die Äußerungen bei einem Auftritt bei der Bundespressekonferenz gefallen sind und nicht an einer Wurstbude auf irgendeinem Jahrmarkt, wo keine Kamera dabei war. mdr.de/s/ap280824

Albert #Scherr (Soziologe, Schwerpunkt #Migration's- und Flüchtlingsforschung) zu seinem Auftritt in den #Tagesthemen:
"Ich hatte ein längeres Interview geführt, in dem ich kritisch zu den unsinnigen Abschiebeforderungen und dem populistischen Anti-Flucht-Diskurs Stellung bezogen habe sowie auf die Defizite beim Zugang zu Begleitung und Therapie bei traumatisierten #Flüchtlinge'n hingewiesen habe. Gesendet wurde dann aber nur der [einleitende] Satz [...]."

2015 ist der Kollege #Migrant hier über Felder & Wiesen geirrt und das war auch kein Problem. Großteil der Leute von damals stehen inzwischen in Lohn & Brot. Und zahlen #Steuern. (Im Gegensatz zu den Reichen.)

Oder gehts um #Terrorismus? JEDEN Tag werden hier mehr Menschen im so genannten "#Straßenverkehr" überfahren. Die Politik feiert das. 😒

Gentle reminder: What others think of you and say about you is irrelevant. What do you think about yourself? And how will you talk about yourself today? Choose to be positive. One of the most healing things you can do is to have the same compassion for yourself that you have for everyone else.✨✨✨✨

My employer got acquired by a slightly bigger employer. They sent us new laptops. The instructions say to remember to export your PGP private key from your old computer and import it on the new one. With a USB stick, presumably, since any other method would be unhinged.

Every USB stick in this lab is supposed to be encrypted with the PGP key of its owner. The one that needs to be imported before Windows can mount it.

I went around begging until someone slipped me an unencrypted USB stick. It’s named “CONTRABAND.” 😂




I’d just like to say to every obnoxious Reply Guy Leftist who gave me shit on Twitter for what I said about Tulsi Gabbard 4-5 years ago:

1. I told you so.
2. I’m telling you so about Jill Stein too.

Beware of developing a personal sense of ideological purity, because no matter how good or wise or well-thought-out the ideology may be, getting it entangled with your sense of self makes you an easy mark.

I forget what the Drama™ was that caused me to stop using Bartender on #macOS, but I've been happily using Ice as a replacement github.com/jordanbaird/Ice

Today I just got Software Update message for the latest version, and it warms my heart because it adds #accessibility support

Whenever you see a good app adding or improving accessibility support, please share the news. We need to normalize adding accessibility to all apps.

As I recall, the drama about Bartender was that it was acquired by a company called Applause.


You know all these cookie banners? It's just malicious compliance disguised into corporate protest.

Maybe we should sanction that the same way as environment protesters are treated.

Why isn't there an extra HTTP header you could add to opt-out like DNT_COOKIES=1, kind of like the original DNT header?
