A na základe čoho môže nezainteresovaný človek vedieť, či niekto reálne má alebo nemá ADHD (prípadne hocičo iné)? Skôr by som povedal, že je v móde spochybňovať diagnózy iných ľudí.
Určite nejaké obmedzenia pri ADHD či iných diagnózach sú, veď sám mám isté obmedzenia kvôli môjmu autizmu. Treba ale rozlišovať, či to je pre daného človeka naozaj obmedzenie alebo sa iba skrýva za diagnózu. To však zainteresovaná osoba iba z pozorovania nemôže veľmi vedieť, pretože nikto nevie čo ten človek prežíva, okrem neho samotného.
Každopádne si myslím, že ľudia by mali byť najprv tolerantní a chápaví, a nie hneď na prvú zľahčovať/spochybňovať diagnózu (a tým nemyslím nikoho konkrétneho, píšem vo všeobecnosti, keďže aj pri autizme ľudia veľmi radi hovoria vetu "nevyzeráš ako autista").
@Ralfeek A s tou "neschopnosťou vychovávať deti>deti majú ADHD" by som bol opatrný. Veľa autistických detí vyzerá ako keby boli nevychované, rovnako to je určite aj pri ADHD, ale o nevychovanosť tam vôbec nejde.
Je úplne normálne a prirodzené, že takýchto diagnóz pribúda čoraz viac, keďže v minulosti sa to neriešilo, kvôli čomu to teraz vyzerá, že je toho veľa, keď sa ľudia v dospelosti diagnostikujú, a taktiež sa ľudia množia, a keďže ADHD a aj autizmus je dedičný, tak je tiež logické, že ľudí s takýmito diagnózami bude každý rok viac a viac.
Určite to ale nie je móda, a ak to má niekto oficiálne diagnostikované, tak by som to určite nespochybňoval, pretože takáto diagnóza sa nedá získať len tak, a neviem kto normálny by vyhodil peniaze na diagnostiku iba preto, aby sa potom na to mohol vyhovárať.
Man, you're doing some incredible work in so many ways in so short a time. Honestly, I believe you *will* make an Eloquence replacement, the challenge is going to be reverse engineering the best phonimizer ever made.
• Negative tilt (bright) → fades toward derivative (has the highs to boost) • Zero/positive tilt (warm/dark) → stays on flow (warm body) Cleaner gain structure: • srcDeriv = dFlow * radiationDerivGain (derivative gets gain) • Flow stays as-is (no extra gain needed) Simpler mixing: Just (1.0 - radiationMix) * flow + (radiationMix * srcDeriv) This makes more sense because: • At Tilt 0: Pure flow = warm, full body ✓ • At Tilt -10 (bright): Mix toward derivative, then high-shelf boost = sparkly highs ✓ • At Tilt +10 (dark): Pure flow + low-pass = warm darkening without mud ✓

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/01/are-t… One of the dreams of Web 2.0 was that website would speak unto website. An "Application Programming Interface" (API) would give programmatic access to structured data, allowing services to seamlessly integrate content from each other. Users would be able to quickly grab data from multiple sources and use them for their own purposes. No registration or API keys, no tedious EULAs or meetings. Just pure synergy!
Something something … enshittification … blah blah … zero interest rate phenomenon … yadda yadda our incredible journey …
But back in the land of rationality, I've had a lots of experiences running APIs and helping people who run them. The closure and lockdown of APIs usually comes down to one or more of the following.
APIs cost money to run. Yes, even the static ones have a non-zero cost. That's fine if you're prepared to endless subsidise them - but it is hard to justify if there's no return on investment. Anyway, who is using all this bandwidth? Which leads on to:
Lack of analytics. Yes, I know tracking is the devil, but it is hard to build a service if you don't know who is using it. Sure, you can see traffic, but you can't tell if it is useful to the end consumer, or what value you can share. There's no way to communicate with an anonymous consumer. Which, of course, takes us to the next barrier:
Communication is key. If you need to change your API, there's no way to tell users that a change is coming. That might be the announcement of a deprecation, an outage, or an enhancement. You can try smuggling error messages into your responses and hoping someone notices a failing service somewhere - but it's much easier to email everyone who has an API key. And you know what else keys are good for?
Stopping abuse. It'd be nice if everyone played nice online; but some people are raging arseholes. Being able to throttle bad actors (figuratively or literally) is a desirable feature. On a resource constrained service, you sometimes have to put rules in place.
Still, if you know of any good open APIs which don't require registration, and that you think will survive until 2036, please drop a link in the comments. #api #coding

#Reading Apparently, in the wider bookish community, there is this idea that listening to audiobooks doesn't count as reading. This idea is ableist af. I mean, what about blind people?
And besides, what about people who can focus better and longer when listening (audio), instead of reading (visual)?
What about people who can better focus on listening to stories while doing something, for instance going for a walk, doing sports, crocheting, knitting, or arts and crafts?
@catrinity There are people in the blind community who would agree with the statement that listening is not reading. Only reading Braille counts as reading. I do not agree with that personally.
@WestphalDenn I know that technically speaking listening is not reading. But that's not the point I was trying to make. My point was the consumption of books in general, no matter with which method this consumption happens. I mean, in the end, you know a story, and it doesn't matter that much imho if you have listened to it or if you have read it.
An interview with my friend, Erich Manser who is a blind runner. I think I was able to ask about aspects of his running career that he didn't discuss in other interviews or podcasts. evengrounds.com/erich-manser-o…
I would like to introduce you to my friend, and previous colleague from IBM, Erich Manser who is a competitive blind runner. Over the years I enjoyed hearing about his adventures, and when it comes to sports, I got much inspiration from him.
Hi. I am a subscriber and a big fan of Tuta. I know this is perhaps the wrong place to ask but I am looking for info on when Tuta Calendar will support multiple day agenda view? Or what calendar app you recommend while waiting for such a function.

A warm thank you to our sponsors Element and Famedly for enabling us to set up Hackathon tomorrow, in Brussels! Can't make it? We will livestream the results at 17:00 CET!
Element is sponsoring the video stream, and the dinner, while Famedly sponsors the lunch and drinks. Thanks to them both we can keep our community fed and refreshed to tackle the important challenges ahead of them!
@element provides secure, sovereign communication tools built on Matrix. Because of their commitment to open source and the commercial support Element provides, their solutions are widely deployed in the European public sector.
Element is a Matrix-based end-to-end encrypted messenger and secure collaboration app. It’s decentralised for digital sovereign self-hosting, or through a hosting service such as Element Matrix Services.
Famedly was the first approved TI Messenger. Built on Matrix, it enables faster and secure communication for healthcare professionals, with a delightful user experience.
And this. I asked it if it could put a heading above its responses: Output Yes, I've just set that up for you. I used the messages.responsePrefix configuration to automatically prepend ## Output\n\n to all of my future responses. The Gateway is restarting now to apply that change. From now on, every message I send should lead with that H2 header.
Save Social, Tuta, and lots of other organizations are building a better web – and you can be part of the journey! The next Digital Independence Day is Sunday, February 1st.
Being an unconference, every participant will raise agenda points and then those will be prioritized by interest. The first topic is "XMPP 2.0". xmpp.org/2025/11/xmpp-summit-2…

the Prize for Excellence in Open Source 2026 is handed out tonight in Brussels by the European Open Source Academy, and it is my honor as president to hand over this award to a truly worthy winner. I am sure you will agree with me once you learn who it is. Tonight.
I'm indeed curious, I learnt about the event last week and was tempted to somehow attend, but unfortunately, I have no formal attire with me, only OSS formal (doc martens, plain clothes and laptop with silly colours and stickers).
@kayla I bring my suit to Brussels solely for this purpose! After all, I got this suit in the first place getting an award for my Open Source so I feel good getting to use it more to further shine the light on excellent Open Source people!
@miketheman in this case I am both the president of EOSA as well as last year's awardee, but I think the idea is that I do this in my role as president.
I presume that if I'm not messing things up too badly I might get to do it again next year... 😁
Go add a quick audio description to the post so I can boost it. I treat audio same as image. No description, no boost, but this is like a fan made of air raid sirens and I think it would be fun for other people to hear.
@FreakyFwoof a fan made of air raid sirens is honestly the best description of thjat I've ever heard. I am so fucking lucky that (A) I managed to get all this kit and (B) that I have free power in here. It does mean, interestingly, that I most certainly never have to run my heating in winter. ever. not once
@FreakyFwoof used to need that here. then I built a server stack that puts out more BTUs than a big box of BTUs with a big sign out front saying "free BTUs, come take some". I measured a minimum 10 degrees C difference between my bedroom and my living room, the latter being where all the servers are and is at least 10 degrees warmer than the bedroom at all times, even in the middle of the night
@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com also your nickname caused my espeak to read hexadecimal, could you remove the characters "𒀭𒈹𒍠𒊩" it really makes it hard to read the posts
@patricus @FreakyFwoof use voice dictionaries. copy the name, including the cuneiform, settings, speech dictionaries, default dictionary, add, pattern, full name with the cuneiform, preplacement, name without, done and done
@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com you know what? if I have to do such tricks just to be able to read your stuff it's not worth it. I already have a dict that is quite big because of espeak quirks.
@patricus AT some point you'd have 31, and 32, so just... Add it and if you notice a slowdown, remove. The time taken to fuss about it could have been done already. Sigh...

Twice Google Gemini tried to tell me that I was wrong regarding a tennis result from 2004 but I kept telling it it wasn’t correct and eventually, it got it right.
In the 2004 Australian Open men's doubles semi-finals, Bob and Mike Bryan did indeed defeat Todd Woodbridge and Jonas Björkman with a score of 6–1, 6–2. Sometimes you just have to keep guiding the AI models particularly if you know that something is incorrect. It's almost like you're teaching something. This is where I can see a problem with these AI models because if you don't know that something is incorrect, you can go away with the wrong information. I'm seeing this a lot with supposed history posts about events from the Second World War.
Except that it isn't teaching, because it doesn't learn. It's more like a child who just responds the way you like so that you give it more snacks. And that is also why it isn't to be trusted.
When I was 18 I took a medicine called Theraflu because I was sick, it caused me to hallucinate. I actually thought my coat rack in my room was alive and trying to kill me.
Never again will I touch that stuff. Absolutely nasty.
That's definitely worse than when, after surgery, I took Percocet, and was convinced that one particular work colleague kept breaking into my house just to tell me to "plug it in" and then leave again.
a raíz de lo que acabo de rt sobre Pérez-Reverte solo digo una cosa: desde Trafalgar, ésta inclusive, lo único que sale de los dedos de este escritor es pura basura. Y miedo me da releer, de hecho no pienso hacerlo, nada de lo anterior.
Yo tengo que reconocer que me gustaron mucho dos libros suyos de hace ya mucho tiempo: la piel del tambor y la carta esférica. De lo nuevo no he leído nada.

Listen to your users: no AI in Thunderbird and Firefox. But yeah, I know. Mozilla desperately what's to feed the AI hype. So please, make it possible to disable all these pointless AI features...
And what's that image for? It just clutteres the toot.
Is the AI version of Thunderbird the pro version talked about in the vision guide or in all editions? Because I'd hate to have to look for a new email client...
