Volby v naší obci. V podstatě jsme tři vesnice pod správou jednoho Obecního úřadu, celkem asi 350 stálých obyvatel, kolik je to voličů nevím.
Moje Milá se zeptala, koho budu na kraj volit. Měla vybrané dvě kandidátky. Já jsem celkem stálý ve svých postojích, takže jsem měl jasno (vlastně přemýšlím, proč se mě tedy ptala).
Řekl jsem, že STAN, jako vždy a ona STAN odložila a nechala si kandidátku SPOLU.
Proč o tom píšu. Výsledky voleb (účast 31,47 %) byly těsné. Vyhrálo ANO o jeden hlas nad STAN. O ten Milé hlas. Je nás tak málo, že jeden jediný hlas stačí, aby se miska převrátila na druhou stranu. Tedy... v tomto případě by to byla plichta, ale stejně. To potom přistupujete k volbám úplně jinak. Divné, že 69 % voličů si to nemyslí.
Například SPD utržilo 11,11% hlasů. 8 voličů. Osm je nic, ale 11 procent, to už je síla.
It's going to take some getting used to, but now, to invoke the App Switcher, you have to swipe up a bit further until you hear another click. If you swipe up in the way you used to for the app Switcher, you will get Type to Siri instead.
If you don’t like this behaviour, you can disable Type to Siri, then the VO gestures will go back to the way they were.
Also, for now, there are some focus issues with Type to Siri, and it would be good if VO spoke Siri’s answers back, much like typing to ChatGPT, which is a great experience.

Ok, I should be sleeping right now, but what's happening is SO FUCKING CRAZY.
Long story short: WPEngine is suing Matt Mullenweg, Automattic and the WordPress foundation for slandering them. In return, Matt is suing them for trademark violation.
But, BUT, WPEngine has fired their first shot. And what a shot it is, friends:
Some extracts:
Stunningly, Automattic’s CEO Matthew Mullenweg threatened that if WP Engine did not agree to pay Automattic – his for-profit entity – a very large sum of money before his September 20th keynote address at the WordCamp US Convention, he was going to embark on a self-described “scorched earth nuclear approach” toward WP Engine within the WordPress community and beyond. When his outrageous financial demands were not met, Mr. Mullenweg carried out his threats by making repeated false claims disparaging WP Engine to its employees, its customers, and the world. Mr. Mullenweg has carried out this wrongful campaign against WP Engine in multiple outlets, including via his keynote address, across several public platforms like X,YouTube, and even on the Wordpress.org site, and through the WordPress Admin panel for all WordPress users, including directly targeting WP Engine customers in their own private WordPress instances used to run their online businessesDuring calls on September 17th and 19th, for instance, Automattic CFO Mark Davies told a WP Engine board member that Automattic would “go to war” if WP Engine did not agree to pay its competitor Automattic a significant percentage of its gross revenues – tens of millions of dollars in fact – on an ongoing basis. Mr. Davies suggested the payment ostensibly would be for a “license” to use certain trademarks like WordPress, even though WP Engine needs no such license. WP Engine’s uses of those marks to describe its services – as all companies in this space do – are fair uses under settled trademark law and consistent with WordPress’ own guidelines. Automattic’s CFO insisted that WP Engine provide its response to this demand immediately and later, on the day of the keynote, followed up with an email reiterating a claimed need for WP Engine to concede to the demands “before Matt makes his WCUS keynote at 3:45 p.m. PDT today.”
In parallel and throughout September 19 and 20, Mr. Mullenweg embarked on a series of harassing text messages and calls to WP Engine’s board member and also its CEO, threatening that if WP Engine did not agree to pay up prior to the start of Mr. Mullenweg’s livestreamed keynote address at 3:45pm on September 20, he would go “nuclear” on WP Engine, including by smearing its name, disparaging its directors and corporate officers, and banning WP Engine from WordPress community events.
They... they have text message captures. In the pdf. Matt Mullenweg was trying to extort them ... by text messages. They seem to have the entire thing in the writting.
In the final minutes leading up to his keynote address, Mr. Mullenweg sent one last missive: a photo of the WordCamp audience waiting to hear his speech, with the message that he could shift gears and turn his talk into “just a Q&A” if WP Engine agreed to pay up
They finish requesting Automattic to "preserve, and not destroy, any and all documents or information in their possession, custody, or control that may be relevant to any dispute between WP Engine and Automattic". They are going to war, big time.
All this crap is just because they refuse to pay his protection money. And the guy has been stupid enough to put everything in writting.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
They are going to toast him alive

35% of #bisexual men in a relationship *with another man* have never told that partner about their bisexuality. And only the minority of us are very or fairly open about our #bisexuality to our male partners. That's from ILGA Europe. The norm is for us bi #men to be quiet about our bisexuality, even in same-gender relationships. #Gay men, you can think about that one during #BiVisibilityDay.

Hello everyone, I’m Maartje De Meulder. After spending years on X, I’ve decided to give Mastodon a try.
I’m a senior researcher at the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht and I split my time mainly between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Norway.
I’ll be mostly posting about all things language, disability, and technologies, and how they intersect, along with navigating academia.

Disingenuous rule making:
If China can do these evil things with their proprietary cars, then so can U.S. and Japanese cars.
Make the rule fair: ban proprietary cars.
(But it's not about being fair, it's about the U.S. wanting to preserve the ability to use domestic cars for spying, while preventing other countries from having that ability.)
My super secret hobby project is now public. It's a CI engine that let's me run CI on untrusted code without having to worry.

in reply to Ramón Corominas • • •Es una forma de verlo, desde luego legítima, pero teniendo en cuenta que una huelga es una medida de acción colectiva, creo que hay que tener en cuenta la convocante, al que se le da apoyo expreso o implícito.
Ejemplo extremo en plan reducción al absurdo: si el "sindicato" de Vox convocase una huelga en favor de la subida del SMI, no la secundaría.
