Okay, *one* last release for Android 5 users.
#Catima 2.41.2 is out
github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
The barcode encoding feature added in Catima 2.41.0 caused a very minor change in how barcodes where generated, which for some users led to failures to use their cards (github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…). This is now fixed by slightly changing how automatic mode works.
Coming soon to an app store near you.
#IzzyOnDroid #FDroid #GitHub #GooglePlay
QR code card added to Catima prior to v2.41, referring to https://xtra.colruytgroup.be/xtra/qr/961198520459603760316514. Was working fine until v2.40.x (scanned OK at the cash desk) Using v2.41.1, ...se-te (GitHub)
So, I had a cartoon character moment this morning.
I was shaking an old container of cayenne powder to make sure it hadn't clumped up, and a fine mist escaped and sent me into a sneezing fit the likes of which I have never had before. Just one right after the other in rapid succession.
At some point I just started laughing at the absurdity of it. Even after it reached my eyes (although it wasn't as bad as cutting onions).
Basically, today I learned that the absolute sneezing fits people in old cartoons have when someone sticks black pepper under their noses is real.

Goodfood's licence suspended by Canadian Food Inspection Agency

"Disruptors" skirting the law. No shock here.
just to clarify about regulations:
There are some regulations big tech love because despite costing them, it's insignificant compared to the barrier of entry that they create for new entrants.
Regulations must be weighed.

"We are gonna run it", says Trump about Venezuela, after Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro has been abducted from Caracas by the US military.
Trump explains, that Venezuela has not been pumping enough oil, but this will change as the US is taking over.
We went from "Canada should be the 51st state" to "we are gonna run Venezuela" in months.
Who needs enemies, when any country can be invaded by the USA, whenever the Trump regime wants it's resources?
Is Greenland next?

• A reading screen you can truly tailor: font, size, spacing, colors, and themes.
• Smart navigation through chapters, headings, pages, bookmarks, and document sections.
• Hands-free reading with headphone controls.
• Import and read common formats: TXT, PDF, DOCX, RTF, HTML, Markdown, and EPUB.

Ruszyła centralna e-rejestracja do wybranych lekarzy specjalistów, co w założeniu jest dobrym pomysłem, a w szczegółach nie działa.
"Niepoinformowani o nowym systemie rejestratorzy to również rzesze pacjentów, którzy się o nim nie dowiedzą. I tym samym z niego wypadną, przez co do specjalisty mogą czekać dłużej niż inni. Jak alarmowaliśmy w grudniu, dotyczy to przede wszystkim osób, które nie korzystają z IKP lub powiązanej z nim aplikacji w telefonie komórkowym. Mówiąc prościej - chcą skorzystać z centralnej rejestracji, ale przez telefon, nie internet. To głównie osoby starsze, które nie mają smartfonów, ale nie tylko. Przecież w prywatnych sieciach medycznych umawianie wizyty przez infolinię jest wciąż popularne. Niestety, w publicznym systemie takiej opcji nie ma.
Jak mówił mi w grudniu rzecznik Centrum e-Zdrowia Tomasz Kulas, seniorzy, by nie wypaść z centralnego systemu, mogą po 1 stycznia zadzwonić lub udać się do własnej przychodni. Tam rejestrator lub rejestratorka powinni zaproponować pierwszy dostępny termin w całej centralnej kolejce. W przychodniach słyszę jednak, że żadnych zapisów poza własną placówką zaproponować nie mogą. I nie wiadomo, czy i kiedy to się zmieni."
A ja już sobie teraz wyobrażam, jak wszystkim seniorom z rodziny będę teraz zakładał profile zaufane oraz IKP, choć połowa z nich maili nie potrafi ogarnąć.
Living in the U.S. is a little like being in a dissociative state. There's such a disconnect. Near me, new businesses and housing are going up like gangbusters, even though we know thousands have lost their jobs. Then I find out that my government has kidnapped the leader of another nation.
Everything feels brittle and shattered. And when everything breaks into jagged pieces, you're much more likely to cut yourself, even while cleaning it up.
Canadians, I hope you are contacting your MPs and the PM’s office to call for actions against US. Folk in other countries, whatever your equivalents are. It is ridiculous that sanctions haven’t already been called against the rogue US nation.
Citizens, we should stop buying all US products. Hold off on your Apple purchases for a year. Buy used if you need to. We have to shun that country.
My MP is a pro palestinian Genocide so I don't see him even (re)acting on anything. (he called me extremist too)
(and the second in the election race was even worse)
