Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality … I lost. We lost. One cannot reliably deploy independent email servers.“
Many companies have been trying to disrupt email by making it proprietary. So far, they have failed. Email keeps being an open protocol. Hurray? No hurray. Email is not distributed anymore. You just cannot create another first-class node of this ne

As a child born in the 90's Poland, I partook in the evening routine of watching of the children's programming of the first channel of our public broadcaster at 7 PM. There was this one cartoon there which went under the name of "Tom, the Piglet". I had many episodes of this recorded on VHS tapes and I would rewatch them again and again. To this day, I can recall, and perfectly hum and whistle the intro melody, yet every time I did a search on the Internet, there was nothing to find. Did it all: Google, retrieving old TV schedules from 1997, both through regular webpages and the Teletext archive, nothing as if it never existed. The only reference I had, keeping me from believing that I had imagined it all, was a post on a Polish forum where another person was in the same situation. Years passed and at last, somebody has identified it to be the British cartoon by the name "Huxley Pig". My childhood is saved, and no, still the Internet doesn't seem to have found a single Polish episode. #UK #Cartoon #Nostalgiayoutube.com/playlist?list=PLLh…
In two weeks (4 & 5 February 2023) #FOSDEM will take place in #Brussels and I'm asking myself if we can have a #Friendica developers & community meeting there at some point over the weekend.
@Tobias Oh right, I was supposed to be looking for you just to say hi. I was at the Free Culture Podcasts table just next to the FSFE a large part of the afternoon.
So what happened was… kind of unbelievable. Siri on an Apple Watch called emergency services from a gym in Australia, prompting 15 armed police officers to show up expecting an active shooter.

This is the best photo of magnetic core memory I've ever taken. IBM, early 60s. Shot with a microscope lens mounted on a 35mm B&W digital camera. No post!

Wielce zasmucająca jest dla mnie niechęć współczesnych Polaków do znajdowania i akceptowania nazw na nowe pojęcia. Jeśli już ktoś zna swój język i poprawnie go używa (nie stosując anglicyzmów), to wykłada się na nazwaniu czegoś, co nie ma swojej utartej nazwy w j. polskim. "Bo, jak to?, wprowadzić nowy wyraz? to tylko można zaczerpnąć z angielskiego".
Dzisiaj czytam felieton (krytykapolityczna.pl/swiat/sha…), w którym autorki tłumaczą, czym jest break up song, a potem revenge song. Zrozumiałbym, gdyby chodziło o to, że trudno znaleźć polską nazwę na te pojęcia, więc autorki zapożyczyły nazwy z angielskiego.W końcu nie każdy musi aspirować do bycia słowotwórcą. Jednak nie w tym sedno. Otóż autorki tuż po użyciu angielskiej nazwy za każdym razem dodały nazwę polską. W tekście brzmi to tak:
"gatunek muzyczny [...] nazywa się popularnie break up song, czyli piosenką o rozstaniu"
i
"Do takich kawałków lepiej pasuje nazwa revenge song, piosenka-zemsta".
Czyli autorki znalazły polskie nazwy, ale te im po prostu nie pasują. Nie chodzi o to, że język polski nie potrafi wyrazić czegoś (w sposób zwięzły) tak dobrze jak angielski. Chodzi o to, że z jakiś powodów polskie nazwy jakoś nie pasują autorkom.
Po angielsku wszystko brzmi lepiej? A może to po prostu mentalność kompradora?
Takie zjawisko zawsze miało miejsce, różnica jest tylko taka, że etymologii słów zapożyczonych setki lat temu nikt już nie pamięta. Z samego tego posta, zapożyczone są na pewno felieton, autor i ankieta, ale pewnie jest tego znacznie więcej.
@miki Nie mówię o wszelkich zapożyczeniach, lecz o takich, które nie wnoszą żadnej wartości. Zapożyczenia oczywiście zawsze były i będą. Ale w opisywanym przeze mnie przypadku są dwa przykłady zapożyczeń, które nic nie wnoszą:
break up song = piosenka o rozstaniu
revenge song = piosenka-zemsta
Skoro nawet autorki tekstu zdają sobie sprawę z tego, że można użyć dobrze brzmiących polskich odpowiedników, to po co w ogóle im słowa zapożyczone?

Appalling: A school district near me takes down rainbows because their braindead lawyer said they would open the district to "appropriate criticism." No, the criticism is that you are bigots teaching our children. For shame! Rainbow signs to be replaced in N.J. middle school nj.com/education/2023/01/rainb…
After complaints from parents and consultation with the school district’s lawyers, the Washington Township School District superintendent decided to remove rainbow-colored Safe Zone signs that had been hanging in Long Valley Middle School since 2019.

Wow! This is BIG - the Apple Lisa source code has finally been released!
This was something that was asked during the VCF Midwest panel for the Lisa Documentary.
It's so very cool that the Computer History Museum was able to get permission from Apple to release the source code... and on the Lisa's 40th birthday 🎉
