V Praze máte radši auta než děti, věřím ale, že vystřízlivění přijde, říká slavný dánský architekt Gehl
Celý život poslouchá „my nejsme Kodaň, tady to nepůjde“. Slavný dánský architekt Jan Gehl ale úspěšně vedl proměnu řady měst včetně světových metropolí. Působil také v Praze – té jeho tým před lety navrhl proměnu magistrály, která zůstala v šuplíku.Prokop Vodrážka (Deník N)

Last spring, Washington State passed a bill banning commercial octopus farming.
Today, we (myself and 99 others, led by Jennifer Jacquet, Becca Franks, Peter Godfrey-Smith, and Walter Sanchez-Suarez) have a letter in Science supporting the US OCTOPUS Act, which would do the same nationwide.
Octopuses cannot be farmed humanely.
They are highly intelligent, extremely curious creatures that fare poorly in monotonous environment without natural stimulation. They are naturally solitary and experience intense stress in crowded environments.
Farming conditions are horrible for them.
(It's also highly inefficient, ecologically, to farm carnivores.)

Since 2020, Next Generation Internet (NGI) programmes, part of the European Commission's Horizon programme, fund free software in Europe using a cascade funding mechanism. This year, according to the Horizon Europe working draft detailing funding programmes for 2025, we notice that Next Generation Internet is not mentioned any more as part of Cluster 4.
The signatories of this open letter say: The European Union must keep funding free software

Spectrum Cable TV & Internet Customers Are Being Targeted With A New Scam | Cord Cutters News
Recently the number of scammers targeting customers of large cable TV companies have grown. One of the biggest recently has been callers claiming to give customers half off internet for a year if they prepay for six months in advance.Luke Bouma (Cord Cutters News)
Major tech companies are producing far more carbon emissions than they suggest in their sustainability reports.
They’re lobbying hard to rewrite the rules on how emissions are calculated to show net zero on paper, but not in practice.

Dear @IzzyOnDroid , I have seen this many times since I started using #fdroid (..and your #repo).
At the screenshot you see an app last updated 7 years ago and a note stating that IT SEEMS to be no longer maintained. For me, its abandoned and unless you have metrics that show active users, why bother keeping the app at all?
I don't know about the app specifically, I didn't intend on using it. I was just curious as to why its still available and your answer solved that.
Thank you for your time!
If you happen to find a "broken" app, please report it. Especially those ones where it's clear they cannot work (like the example I gave: bound to a single service that shut down; no guesswork there if it might still be useful for some devices). Either reach out here, or report in our issue tracker. We'll then check and, if justified, act accordingly.
Thanks a lot – also for asking!

High-end racing bikes are now vulnerable to hacking
A team of researchers from the University of California San Diego and Northeastern University found security vulnerabilities in Shimano wireless gear-shift systems.Lauren Feiner (The Verge)
You'd think so, and I sure did, but the wireless shifting systems have some pretty compelling arguments in their favor, including "you can shift gears under the heaviest loads you can put on it" and "you can _stand on the derailleur_ and it will take that abuse without misaligning or even flinching."
It's spendy, but ... man I've snapped chains and torn derailleurs _clean off_ bikes before and that looks... really good.

Every feature that gets added via JavaScript is more complex, more expensive, and harder to improve. That means that when things go wrong, they're treble costly to fix. This is because JavaScript is the _"f-it! we'll do it live!"_ of web tech; JS disables or routes around all the ways the browsers try to help.
Let browsers help!
