Děkuji za unlock. Ale asi jsem to neměl číst.
Vlastně měl. Ogar potřebuje do ZSV vysvětlit pojem oligarchie a nevěří, že jediný oligarcha ja Babiš, jak říkal pančel.
in reply to Zdenda Sazovský

@sazy Asi budu muset na chvíli politiku vypnout z hlavy. Akorát mi to bere energii a člověk je pořád nasranej 😀


Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.

Una mejora de PRL: han vuelto a poner la alfombra a la entrada de nuestro edificio. Ayer el suelo resbalaba un montón, y no sé si alguien dijo algo o fue cosa de sentido común, pero esta mañana ya estaba puesta.




Za Bartoše se DSŘ odložit nesmělo, tak se to dá někomu jinému, kterému se na to dá rok a půl a odklad je ok?

Сегодня чувак в троллейбусе выдал: "а зачем вы платите за проезд, вы ж не видите, где валидатор, можно зайцем ехать и вам ничего не будет". Он узнал о себе немного новых сведений. Не понимаю людей. Ну или я такой правильный.

Неа. В россии ты увидел хорватскую ментальность, вот в прямом понимани. У нас действительно незрячих не проверяют в публичном транспорте, хоть у тебя и есть билет.

A quick question, please 🙏 I copy a text and it is, let's say, Verdana. I paste it to my Libre Writer and it converts the text into its default font. I tried every possible paste options but no solution (whereas OnlyOffice paste the text as I want). I use Debian, Libre Office 24.8.1.2 🙏


Koukám největší IT odbornice je nyní Pekarová, že jí tak nevadilo, že lidem nechodily dávky na bydlení. Začíná to být pěkná fraška.

Myslíš Lipavský jako předseda? No, já nejsem Pirát, ale myslím si, že je potřeba mít předsedu, který je vidět a slyšet. A Lipavský je navíc ve vládě.

K digitalizaci stavebního řízení: Akorát se dívám na reportáž:
ceskatelevize.cz/porady/114274…

A hned na začátku mě Bartoš nadzvednul. Úředníci popisují, jak za hovno ten systém stojí. Bartoš na to jako hluchej a slepej odpoví: "Stavební řízení funguje."
No. Tak jo.

P.S.: Zajíček z ODS vystupuje jako typický Ódeesák kmotr. K zblití.

@unterwasser Ano myslel jsem Lipovského.
Tu reportáž jsem sem dával, docela i tomu věřím. Jak jsem psal jinde moje dělá na pracáku. Mohla by vyprávět, za Maláčové jezdila do Prahy testovat jeden program, který se najednou zrušil a ticho po pěšině. Teď testuje další program.


"all the whitespace got stripped out of this python file, how do I fix it?"

"rewrite it in rust and use rustfmt"

in reply to Hubert Figuière

@hub significant whitespace giveth; significant whitespace taketh away 😥

in all seriousness, after fighting with python indentation, it was thrilling to throw some crappily formatted code at rustfmt and have it Just Work 😂



There’s nothing quite like tight kerning to make a design look dean and modem.


this latest edition of "Android team posting nothing but Ws for adopting Rust" is super important because it identifies that:

*you don't have to actually rewrite all your old unsafe C/C++ code to get the benefits of adopting safe languages, in terms of reducing vulnerabilites*

because they identify that most bugs are in new/changed code (with exponential decay!), so if you preferentially write new code in a safe language, your vulnerabilities crater even though most of your code is still unsafe!

Interesting to read about this new adaptation of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Although... am I the only one who remembers ABC radio's Doctor Who parody 'Doctor Poo', and his epic adventure involving 20,000 *Legs* Under the Sea? (It was piloted by the evil Captain Kneemoss - so called because he had moss on his knees).

Just me?

No, hadn't heard of that parody but you got me very curious and my initial search has uncovered some references to it.


Oh, someone please invent an artificial sweetener with a taste indistinguishable from beet sugar and with the nutrition level of all the yuckiest vegetables put together.


So by now are shows like CBS Mystery Theater and Sears Radio Theater considered to be old time radio? And does that mean that shows from the '30s and '40s are now old old time radio?
in reply to David Goldfield

A while back I discovered that on the CbS radio Mystery Theater site some of the recordings contain newscasts from 1977 and 78. I listen to them now over 40 years after the broadcast. In the 70's when I collected old time radio shows, when I heard newscasts, they ere only 30 years or less old.


I'm having an odd issue with my apple watch series 10. Frequently, voiceover seems to get stuck on a screen. Swiping gives me no feedback. Bringing up apple pay, then dismissing it takes me back to the watch face. Also seeing an issue where pressing clear all notifications does nothing. Is anyone else seeing this? Thinking it might be a watch os 11 bug.


Hey @NVAccess, how do you stop websites from pinging NVDA into focus mode? This is particularly problematic in for instance the Google Drive website.
in reply to Haily Merry

In NVDA"s browse mode settings you can turn off "Enable browse mode on page load": nvaccess.org/files/nvda/docume…
in reply to NV Access

See also the settings Automatic focus mode for focus changes and Automatic focus mode for caret movement in browse mode settings. I turned both of those off for focus-mode apps so it will just stay there. It still happens sometimes, especially when I press enter to go into a dialog or application, but at least that makes sense, the only quirk there is that it does it with no sound. This is useful for E.G. Discord and Pinafore+forks, but I originally enabled it for Skype years ago.


Among the many absurdities here is the question of why our legal system allows Walmart to sic the cops on her in the first place and does not punish Walmart for misuse of that process. It's an alleged underpayment of $67. Send a dunning letter and go to small claims court.

I remember being in elementary school & we had some police liasons come to do presentations(indoctrination speeches) at our school assemblies. I distinctly remember all of them telling us: "No one is above the law." I believed that for awhile too.
I realized that statement was a total crock of lies, when I grew up some more. I saw how often police officers, politicians & rich white folks were able to do many different crimes without facing any prison time.

Leftists didn't radicalize me.
Privileged white collar criminals, criminal cops & criminal politicians - radicalized me.


The solution to RTO? Unionize. You felt that there was no need to unionize in tech? Look at the RTO some of them being backwards (aka you were hired as a remote worker).

You have the power, exercise it.



re: my last boost: I wonder who started such a crazy topic?
in reply to David Goldfield

David, I don't see boosts from you. I see posts that look like your original content until I see the link. It would actually be really helpful if you did boost when you can
in reply to David Goldfield

It's like you are posting, not using the boost feature. With a boost, you won't be entering any text at all, simply pressing the boost button
in reply to David Goldfield

There, you've just done it with Bruce's post but most times I don't see them
in reply to Dave Taylor

@davetaylor2112 Odd, as I boost a lot of things, mostly using Mona on iOS but also from Tweesecake.
in reply to David Goldfield

And your post where you just said re my last boost, it wasn't threaded. Mastodon is silly with this Ithink, but to make it work, you boost the post, then you reply to the post you boosted, then you boost your reply! It's supposed to increase interaction, but Ithink it just makes things harder to follow. I wish we could quote!

A Waydroid-specific gripe: there doesn't seem to be an easy way to copy something on my host and paste it into the terminal. In general the Waydroid environment and the host environment are far too isolated.



George Lucas got the idea for Princess Leia's iconic "space buns" from Mexican revolutionary women. Specifically Clara de la Rocha, a total badass.

Clara's descendant recounted:

"She crossed a river on horseback…and was able to take out a power station in order to allow the rebel forces to attack during night without being seen."

Just like Leia, eh?

Compact #kei trucks were briefly banned in Massachusetts this summer for allegedly being "unsafe" but the Commonwealth has since changed course; the controversy reflects how American regulations prioritize safety for people inside motor vehicles at the expense of safety for everyone else.
