This Sumerian house plan, dating back around 5,000 years, offers a glimpse into the architectural sophistication of the Ur III period.
The clay tablet, from the city of Umma, depicts a residential structure centered around a courtyard. Dimensions are given in cubits, likely corresponding to room sizes. Parallel lines represent walls, while doorways are indicated, providing a detailed representation of the house's layout.
Remember the first time you created that index.html, opened in the browser, and it felt like magic? @bw wrote a free online ebook and I love the promise: “I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This book will teach you how to do just that. It doesn’t require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.”
So, a few clips from an old recording and I have a credible Michael Jayston to read me bits of the new John le Carré thriller, penned by his son Nick, thanks to the Eleven Labs reader. Uncanny.
Jayston died only a few months ago, according to a quick google. The real Audiobook is read by Simon Russell Beale , who did a credible George Smiley on the radio of course. My george will always be Bernard Hepton, thanks to a little box of cassettes in the 1990's.

Curl doesn't yet have its own custom scripting language, an optimized TCPIP stack, and an optimized FPGA logic implementation? It doesn't require virtual processor extensions or a GPU for its.machine learning enhanced caching and rendering? It doesn't require custom compiler extensions for its inline assembly optimizations?
@ProfessorCode Agreed. If I hadn’t gotten myself into the Proton ecosystem when I did, I’d probably have chosen Tuta as my primary email provider. Although, I might switch my business over to them.
@governorkeagan @ProfessorCode And we'd be happy to welcome you. 😍 Any questions, we're here to help - we use Linux and F-Droid ourselves so our approach in this regard will never change!
Is there any reason (besides available features) that I couldn’t use a free personal plan for my business until it starts bringing in money? Once I’ve got a more consistent income stream from the business I could then upgrade to a business plan.
I’m the sole employee in the business. I think the only major feature I’d be missing by taking this approach would be a custom domain — which I have setup already via my family plan on Proton.
@governorkeagan Hi there! Thanks for reaching out :) Please note that free plans are exclusively for personal use, not business. We would suggest choosing the Business Essential plan which is well suited to small businesses and freelancers.

Finland approved mining exploration in Sámi territory without assessing its cultural impact or gaining Sámi consent.
Sámi sisters led the case, arguing that traditional governance structures were ignored.
UN ruled Finland must amend its laws to recognize Sámi collective land rights and fully implement free, prior and informed consent.
“Sustainability is an empty word if you don’t respect and implement Indigenous rights here in our homelands.” Näkkäläjärvi, Sámi leader. ehn.org/mining-in-finland-viol…
Two recent UN committee rulings state that Finland violated the Sámi people’s rights by allowing mineral exploration without proper consultation or consent.Tristan Ahtone reports for Grist.
To je inak zaujimavy "twist", ze kym volakedy bojovali v "proxy vojnach" proti sebe USA a ZSSR, tak dnes mozno toto budu robit Juzna Korea proti Severnej.
Co je zatial konzistentne/to iste je to, ze sa nadalej jedna o cca "kapitalisti vs. komunisti".

môžem ale konštatovať že som asi prechladnutí, nádcha nekonečná a bolia ma rôzne časti tela a tak bezdôvodne.. myslím že to prežijem, idem ešte sa dať ostrihať a potom späť pod deku s čajom

#Naev #Accessibility #Blind #Game #Development - Hi. These guys would like to make their game accessible for us. Do me a personal favour, jump on the topic and bring in your individual expertise. Wether you are a coder, audio designer or just an ordinary blind player who knows about the mechanics needed for an accessible game, jump in and help us. I whent to their #Discord server and just asked, if there is a chance, making the game accessible at all. and now, see, they put up the Github proposal. Would like to see this really happen. Thanks for your support. github.com/naev/naev/issues/26…
Suggestion Adding blind accessibility (not colourblind, full blindness) could be a good goal at not only improving the accessibility for blind users, but for all users in general. I've opened an is...
Digitalizace stavebního řízení je velká téma, které se hodně přetřásalo médiích v posledních týdnech. @keddie na konferenci OpenAlt přiblíží jak digitalizace probíhala. Ve druhé přednášce pak shrne kam se posunul egovernment za poslední tři roky.
Přijďte se na něj podívat v sobotu 2. listopadu na OpenAlt.
Tak hlavně ji nahrát, protože sobota mi z rodinných důvodů na OpenAlt nevyjde a tuto bych moc rád taky viděl (stejně bude tak plno, že se tam všichni nedostanou).
PipeWire 1.0.9 is out! Some more bugs were fixed. More details below. Note that the 1.0 series is the previous stable version that is still in use on older distros.
