Jenže za celou dobu co je pětikoalice o moci, tak n se nesnažili ty jejich lži vyvracet. Nechali to zajít tak daleko, že lidi tomu věří.

@archos Přésně. Mě přišlo jakoby si ta vláda myslela, že jsou natolik lepší lidi, že to mají pokaždé automaticky v kapse

Až za 4 roky budeme hodnotit dopady Babišova vládnutí bylo by dobré si povšimnout, že on na lidi taky sral, ale činil tak s milým úsměvem a strejcovskou bodrostí jako jeden z nás.

Co vlastně dělá celé dny Petr Filala ? Co dělá zbytek vlády ? Proč to do nás nehrnou horem-dolem pod tlakem když se jim náhodou něco povede ?

Nebylo by možné například na jednání vlády najmout ještě jednoho státního úředníka, který by měl za úkol upozorňovat pokud by začali vymejšlet něco co jde proti volebním slibům?

Také by bylo fajn najít peníze, aby se nemuselo pořád řešit, že nejsou ...

Ale tady už se dostáváme k jádru pudla. Ony totiž peníze jsou a je jich (na začátku) dost. Je to stejné jako s děravým vodovodem, díky kterému už pak není na koncích soustavy tlak.

Proč vláda nevyhlásí celostátní patricipační rozpočet a k jeho výsledkům pak nepřihlíží ?

Mohl bych tu ještě dlouho hořekovat. Avšak jak známo, kapři si rybník sami nevypustí a to ani v případě jeho postupného vysychání protože si sumci odhlasovali vysušení horního toku aby malé rybky musely blíž k nim ...

EPILÓG DISKREDITAČNEJ KAMPANE PROTI MICHALOVI ŠIMEČKOVI A OPOZÍCII
infosecurity.sk/projekty/epilo…
📌 Infosecurity.sk prináša prehľad dezinformačných trendov, ktoré boli v posledných dvoch týždňoch na vzostupe:
📍 Odvolávanie Michala Šimečku z pozície podpredsedu parlamentu bolo sprevádzané dlhotrvajúcou diskreditačnou kampaňou a klamlivými naratívmi. Počas uplynulých týždňov pracovali dezinformátori najmä s údajnými dôkazmi o pochybných machináciách pri prideľovaní dotácií ministerstva kultúry a ministerstva spravodlivosti mimovládnym organizáciám, v ktorých pôsobia členovia Šimečkovej rodiny.
📍 Osobitnú pozornosť venovali dezinformátori aktivitám Šimečkovho otca Martina M. Šimečku či jeho partnerky Sone Ferienčíkovej, ktorá mala údajne čerpať neúmerné množstvo financií z Fondu na podporu umenia a obohacovať sa týmto spôsobom.
📍 Snaha zdiskreditovať Šimečku a jeho rodinných príslušníkov cez opakovanie klamstiev o dotáciách opäť smerovalo aj k delegitimizácii opozičných protestov. Tie mali podľa dezinformačných aktérov usilovať o udržanie finančných záujmov „Šimečkovho klanu“.
📌 Uplynulé týždne sa niesli v znamení diskreditačnej kampane namierenej proti predsedovi strany PS a lídrovi opozície Michalovi Šimečkovi.
📌 Ten bol zo strany dezinformačných aktérov napádaný v snahe vyobraziť ho ako vnútorného nepriateľa Slovenska, pričom finálnym cieľom bolo jeho odvolanie z pozície podpredsedu parlamentu. K tomu napokon došlo v utorok 17. septembra 2024.
📌 Popri ad hominem útokoch na Šimečku boli prítomné manipulácie a zavádzanie o členoch jeho rodiny, o ktorých sme informovali už v predchádzajúcom reporte.
📌 Naratívy o údajne podozrivom čerpaní verejných financií prostredníctvom mimovládok boli neskôr doplnené o ďalšie dôvody, pre ktoré mal byť Šimečka odvolaný z funkcie.
📌 Všetky použité argumenty boli postavené na domnienkach, zavádzaní a vyfabrikovaných „dôkazoch“. Napríklad argument o údajnom vplyve Michala Šimečku na Denník N prostredníctvom jeho otca Martina M. Šimečku, ktorý je akcionárom média, stojí na hlinených nohách.
📌 Podiel politikovho otca v médiu totiž neprevyšuje 0,5 % zamestnaneckých akcií. Napriek tomu dochádzalo k mylným interpretáciám a záverom typu, že noviny je možné „nazývať stranícke médium Progresívneho Slovenska“.
📌 Klamlivá rétorika o téme sa pravidelne objavovala v telegramových príspevkoch Ľuboša Blahu, europoslanca za SMER-SSD. V jednom z príspevkov konšpiroval o takzvanej progresívnej mafii, ktorá mala „Šimečkovmu klanu“ umožňovať stotisícové zárobky a krytie bývalej ministerky spravodlivosti Márie Kolíkovej.
📌 Opätovne sa objavovala aj snaha diskreditovať opozičné protesty zvolávané počas letných mesiacov. Tie tlmočili najmä apel na rokovanie o odvolaní ministerky kultúry Martiny Šimkovičovej (SNS) a ministra spravodlivosti Borisa Suska (SMER-SSD).
📌 Napríklad Šutaj Eštok posilňoval klamlivý naratív o tom, že protesty mali byť len nástrojom na udržanie finančných záujmov Šimečkovej rodiny.
📌 Rovnaký naratív šírila vo videu na Facebooku europoslankyňa za SMER-SSD a známa tvár dezinformačnej scény Judita Laššáková. Tá tvrdila, že zvolávanie protestov tesne po tom, ako obe ministerstvá zrušili dotácie pre Nadáciu Milana Šimečku, nemôže byť náhoda.
📌 Skutočnosť, že nadácia nesie len meno Šimečkovho starého otca, ktorý bol disidentom, bola už mnohokrát zdôraznená. Napriek tomu sa aj táto organizácia stala nástrojom ako Šimečku diskreditovať a spájať ho s dlhodobo démonizovanou mimovládnou sférou.

Woohoo! I got rid of the unlabeled buttons visible in the Photos app by default. To do this, scroll all the way down to the bottom & double tap on the Customize & Reorder button. When on the next screen, double tap on Pinned Collections to deselect it, then double tap the Close button at the top of the screen & those pesky unlabeled buttons go away on the main screen of the Photos app. Hope this helps someone. #A11Y #Accessibility #Accessible #IOS18 #PhotosApp

I'm heading back home after four incredible days at The Matrix Conference. I'm going home with a sense of belonging and beginning.

Bonding with the community, the individuals and organizations who are all part of a vibrant, organic, and interconnected ecosystem. Being a part of a whole. Being together. This is what this has been all about, and we nailed it.



September 23: I took the Köln-Berlin ICE there and back. Arrived to Berlin on time, made it all the way back on time... until we reached Messe Deutz at midnight and had to wait 10 minutes before crossing the bridge to Hbf. I missed my connection and will be arriving home 20 minutes late.
I'm starting to see where the problem is.


Question time! Let's say I want to make a "family cloud" with synced NAS devices across multiple households, where family members can store and sync photos/files/etc uploaded from their phones. Bonus points if those devices can also be used as media centers for sharing movies etc.

What hardware and software do you recommend to accomplish this?

Goal is to move my whole family off Google Photos and Google Drive using 100% FOSS and for it to be as low-maintenance as possible.

Boosts welcome!

in reply to Hisham

you can accomplish this with @nextcloud and @jellyfin. Use the memories app for photos. Nextcloud also comes with calendar and contacts syncing, you can use @davx5app on android to sync.

Alternatively you can use syncthing and immich, in lieu of nextcloud.

As for low maintainance: I run this on my server, it works fine, but you're still being a hobby sysadmin.

I run this on a self-built server based vaugely on this video from wolfgang: youtube.com/watch?v=N8fWIh1V-Y…

@OttovonWenkoff Řešení to není. Ale polský, maďarský nebo slovenský scénář moc naděje nepřidá. Jako stát uprostřed lanového mostu, vidíš, že se to na kraji trhá a současně víš, že tam už nedoběhneš.

Nezaberou, nevěřím tomu. Už se v koalici hádají i mezi sebou skrz kraviny. Ale nevolit vůbec, to není můj styl. I když menší zlo a se skřípěním zubů, jdu vždycky.

in reply to Seirdy

if you don’t regularly contribute alt-text to other people’s posts that lack them (you’re certainly not obligated to), and especially if you don’t rely on captions: the answer is no.
in reply to Seirdy

thinking about it, i'd go one step further

if you are not actively fighting the hostility B/VI users experience when self-advocating, redirect that energy

i often don't feel safe on fedi crowdsourcing image descriptions because i've been told that i am the reason people leave fedi (despite around 75% of mastodon dot social's images being undescribed), that me expressing frustration at how inaccessible things can be (not even to that person, in general) is the reason they will now no longer provide image descriptions at all, and that my request is amounts to forcing someone to provide labor without compensation and the world would be better off without me.

it doesn't seem to matter how much i tone police myself, how clear i make it that it's not required they do it, no matter how much i wring my hands over it. sometimes it's fine. it goes great. but when it doesn't...

the human system regularly dehumanizes me. expecting B/VI folks to engage with that to get basic needs met is also dehumanizing.

The latest Halide update was rejected because, after seven years, a random reviewer decided our permission prompt wasn't descriptive enough.

I don't know how to explain why a camera app needs camera permissions.

in reply to Ben Sandofsky

This was one of those rejections where they're like, "If this is a bug fix, we can accept it for now, but you need to fix this in your next update."

We replied, "Yes, please approve, we'll fix it." 36 hours later, they approved, but we still need to deal with this.

in reply to Ben Sandofsky

I submitted an update with our permission prompts in iambic pentameter. It was approved.

(We won't release it. I just had to know.)

Yep, Canada isn't doing well. Just like the rest of the western democracies, we are being crushed by neoliberalism, austerity, corporate greed, and the commodification of basic nessecities like housing, food, and energy. Sadly, most people dont have the political understanding to see this, so they are lashing out and voting for people that will make it worse even faster. People figure if the current govt can't help they might as well burn it all down. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

I guess #zalgo text probably isn't very #screenreader friendly? How do I concisely communicate to someone that something is actively harming my sanity, preferably through subtext
in reply to Flounder

I wasn't aware of it until now and looking at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalgo_te… - I expect you are right. In NVDA 2024.3 and later, we have "Unicode normalisation" which accounts for some instances where people use mathematic symbols (which look a little like letters) AS letters in text. I'm not sure it goes so far as zalgo text though, but you never know (I haven't seen a real world example).

There is an IPA add-on for NVDA in the store which may do what you need? I must admit I haven't done much with IPA personally to be greatly familiar with it.


When I press windows+period to bring up the emoji keyboard on Windows 10, #NVDA 2024.3.1 can't read anything. Pressing tab/shift+tab says nothing (silence), and when pressing arros it just says blank.

Well that's quicker than waiting for a patch in the next update to NVDA (or Windows), so a good result :)
