In Wales, if you want a bwca or bwbachod (a goblin who cleans your home), then leave out a cup of cream each night (or better yet, a cup of ale). However, bwcas hate teetotalers. If you refuse to drink alcohol, they may kick you or throw your plates at you.

Ongoing discussion, but it looks like Bitwarden may be starting to make moves towards no longer being open source:

Previous issues opened against the SDK have been met with replies that suggest they have no intention of reconsidering the licensing decision:

It is a biblical truth not as known as it should be that the beauty of worship and the beauty of creation belong together.
“For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God…”

This: #antiracist vs "not racist".
If you want to start on that education, I really recommend reading "So You Want To Talk About Race" by Ijeoma Oluo.
I've previously recommended "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo, which was good as an initial bridge - a white person talking to white people why they should care to be antiracist. But she's since turned that into a whole white savior consultant business, which is gross.
Ijeoma Oluo though? Her words as another woman of color _gave me breathing space_. She wrote all the things that I'm too exhausted to bring up with my white friends anymore. She wrote that, so the rest of us BIPOC don't have to anymore - it's a book of empowerment like that, in a big way.
And this is why I implore everyone to read that book, even if you need "White Fragility" as a stepping stone first.
#Bitwarden is no longer free software.
The new code introduces a dependency on @bitwarden/sdk-internal, whose license explicitly states that it can’t be used by any software other than Bitwarden.
That violates the freedom 0 of free software (I can do whatever I want with the source code as long as my output is also free and open).
This seems to be part of a long strategy from Bitwarden to gradually pull the rug under their “free and open” principles and turn the product into a closed product after gaining sufficient market share.
And it’s a reminder that open projects maintained by companies should never, ever, ever be trusted.
In my case I already moved to Vaultwarden a while ago. I had a hunch that Bitwarden was going in this direction, plus running 15 .NET containers on my box just to run a password manager seemed pure insanity to me.
I advise everyone to move away from Bitwarden too before it’s too late.

It's time for BEE FACTS
For every donation to this link, I will post one (1) fact about bees!
These little green bees are sweat bees. They're called that because they love salt & might come get some from you if you're sweaty.
They're solitary, sting but not very hard, and most of them nest in bare patches of dirt next to plants.
Plant flowers & leave some bare spots!
Honeybees are famous for working hard, but if you watch a hive, most of them spend a lot of time just chillin out on the honeycomb.
So when people tell you you gotta "be a good worker bee".... now you know the secret to their work ethic. Secure housing, affordable food, & naps.

Fantastic wide-ranging discussion about websites and browsers for a generalist to be aware of. You don't need to know how to do everything, but you DO need a huge contextual awareness across the stack to solve hard problems. Even a hint. 13min

I emphasize how important even knowledge of a thing being a thing helps. And it will seem utterly useless in the moment. It matters later, you will be completely surprised random tech stuff you did 20 years earlier randomly comes up as important. Try things, even Linux.

My email collection is now hosted on my own site:
The email body texts show up as white on light gray for me, which is a tad hard to read.
I guess it tries to apply a dark theme, and fails? The links to github show up with black on light gray.
Much better, now it is white on black. Thank you.
The "Start here" link on the front page leads nowhere (missing ".html"), btw.
We really should talk more about why Nate Silver is not particularly liked by a lot of people who actually work with data.

This is just throwing random numbers on his hunches. He does this _all of the time_ and doesn't generally disclose (or even necessarily know to disclose) which pieces are his "hunches."
He mixes things that he puts into a model and fails to mention any validation beyond topline as well

I suppose the whole process, and my own mind, is still contaminated because I initially used an LLM. I can think of the following things that remain from my usage of Claude:
- The use of FFV1 as a lossless video codec. Presumably I would have found that in the FFmpeg documentation if I had really looked.
- The pixel format conversion to yuv420p to fix compatibility problems. Claude gave me that one for the MP4 version, and then I also applied it to WebM.
- The use of 256 Kbps for AAC.

No a před prací doporučuji promazat vazelínou, ta vytvoří tenký film, který chvilku vydrží i ten Jar.
Doporučovat rukavice je předpokládám zbytečné.
