Our latest episode is a good one! Get hooked on pre-commit hooks with Stefanie Molin. We talk about what they are, why you want them, how to build them, how to debug them and much more. Enjoy! cc @mkennedy #python

Já mám samoobslužné pokladny docela rád, když mám jen pár věcí. Upřednostnil bych tedy raději online výběr s osobním vyzvednutím (např. při cestě z práce), dovoz mi nevyhovuje kvůli zavozovým oknům, ale na to si musím ještě počkat. @cermak
@KKocanski @babaq @trilobyte samoobsluha vs. pultový prodej je podobné téma. Bufet na stojáka vs. restaurace. Svět se posouvá. Já rád nakupuju spotřební zboží, nářadí apod. on-line, ale potraviny, oblečení a boty osobně. Nejvíc mi vyhovuje scan&go v Globusu. Nejdřív scannerem a co zavedli skenování aplikaci v mobilu, tak vyfotím čárový kód a nakupuju rovnou do tašky. Samozřejmě za to platím penězi i částí svého soukromí.
Hi all, I'm hoping someone has an answer to this, if there is one. On the track pad on the mac, you can use a lot of the same gestures as you can on the phone, such as the three finger double tap for speech and three finger tripple tap for screen cur…

In this podcast, Thomas Domville demonstrates the call recording and transcription feature in iOS 18.1. This update brings an exciting built-in call recording capability to iPhones.
I can't stop thinking about it. One was prosecuted by the US for downloading copyrighted data from 1 source for noble purposes, and committed suicide to avoid prison. The other is widely celebrated for doing this on a much larger scale*.
People often think about the DMCA as the law that was created in the wake of Napster to address online sharing of music & movies without compensating copyright holders.
A less discussed part of the law is that it banned repairing electronics without permission from the manufacturer as long as they use DRM to prevent it which practically everyone from Apple to John Deere does.
Every 3 years we get to request exceptions. This time we got this exemption.
The Copyright Office just handed down a big Right to Repair win: we can now legally repair commercial food preparation equipment, including McDonald’s machines.
My spreadsheet of the longer-term implications of #COVID19 infections has now reached 1,100 studies. Recent additions show COVID and Long COVID causes fatigue, heart arrhythmias, reduced white blood cell count, T-cell exhaustion, lower quality of life, cognitive impairment, insomnia, erectile dysfunction, and persistent liver damage.
FYI, use Signal or Threema as messenger, don't trust anyone who claims that Telegram or Session would be more secure, who ever claims that, doesn't understand how the security of those messengers works. Session started on a reasonable basis (Signal Fork), but they removed a few essential security features over time and by now shouldn't be trusted. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessio…
'It is fine not to like a piece of Free software' and other oft-unstated FOSS-related freedoms
“Free software”, according to the FSF’s definition, embodies four freedoms.
There are plenty more than that - or, at least, many freedoms which are inherent in, or arise from, those four freedoms - most of which go unstated most of the time.
This is far from a complete list, but rather my jottings based on ponderings and observations from the last few days, across a couple of different (intentionally unstated / unlinked here) things.
Microsoft has fired two employees who organized an unauthorized vigil at the company’s headquarters for Palestinians killed in Gaza during Israel’s yearlong war with Hamas.
@Tutanota I just realised that all the comments I have added to my contacts over the years, including family-related and medical important information, are gone...
This is not a feature request (existing functionality does not work, not missing functionality). I will request features on forum or via support. I've searched and did not find a similar issue. Bug...
@dhamlinmusic Looks like this presentation is specific to iOS. You could reach out to Accessible World to suggest a similar presentation covering Android.
✅ Actions in email notifications, e.g. quick delete ✅ Your Contacts' birthdays added to the Tuta Calendar ✅ Dark icon for iOS ✅ New colors in Dark Mode with better contrast & better readability
Micah Cowan is the current maintainer of GNU Wget, and he recently posted a long mail to the wget mailing list titled "Thoughts on Wget 1.x, 2.0". Two fun quotes for the curious who don't feel like reading the whole post: 1.
"To be honest, I often use wget to download files" ... some people tell me in a lowered voice, like if they were revealing one of their deepest family secrets to me.
OwnDroid lets you use Device admin and Device owner privilege to fully manage your Android device. Thanks to joint efforts with its author, this app is now reproducible (starting with v6.1 which will go live with the next sync in less than 6 hours)
If you have more or better screenshots, please share! This shot is taken from the ending sequence of the PC version of the game Grand Theft Auto V. 44 minutes in! See the youtube version. Sky HD is a satellite TV box. This is a Philips TV.
@shaknais the codeaurora-platform- stuff is qualcomm HAL code. We used it back in the Firefox OS days. If it isn’t android, then it’s at least the android linux hardware layer plus something on top.

Pokud máte vlastní doménu, ale nechcete přímo hostovat mastodont, můžete si aspoň zajistit dohledatelnost přes tu vlastní doménu. Současně pokud jste za hvězdu, můžete si v klidu nechat natisknout vizitky a plakáty s vaším ID a vůbec nevadí, že v budoucnosti přejdete na jinou instanci. Stále to bude fungovat 😎 Zde jak na to: blog.maartenballiauw.be/post/2…
Holy shit. The LA Times didn't just squash a Kamala Harris endorsement. They buried an entire series of articles about Donald Trump.
"According to internal memos viewed by TheWrap, the series, tentatively called 'The Case Against Trump,' would have ran throughout this week. The endorsement of Kamala Harris would then have been published on Sunday."
Patrick Soon-Shiong's interference with the paper's editorial freedom has sparked a crisis that includes canceled subscriptions and several high profile resignations
We've been having great conversations at the Ubuntu Summit in The Hague this weekend - it's been fantastic to be with so many other open source projects, like @frameworkcomputer @ubports and of course, @ubuntu !
My family is a Linux family: both my parents and my wife use Linux, and so will the kids once they have their own computers. Apart from my Dad, they're all non-enthusiasts.
Yet, none of them use a beginner-friendly distribution. My Wife, who's by far the least technologically inclined of them all, is a very happy and satisfied NixOS user. A distribution that's the exact opposite of beginner-friendly.
How is that possible? None of them maintain their systems. I do that for them. In the past two decades, what I learned from helping friends and family with their computers is that the vast majority of non-enthusiasts have absolutely no desire to install and maintain an operating system, or even programs. They're much happier if someone else does that for them.
Therefore, while I see value in distributions aimed at beginner enthusiasts, I see very little value in distributions aimed at non-enthusiasts.
I wrote a few more words about this topic on my blog too.
Constantly persisting everything in a web form to localstorage in case of browser, tab accidents is such a cheap and effective trick! mastodon.social/@timbornholdt/…

It’s almost like #Israel has a Dahieh doctrine, first developed in #Lebanon, in which targeting and destroying civilian infrastructures is literally the military strategy.
Does this break international law? Well, of course.
thanks for educating me on this. It was clearly happening but I had no idea that it had been formalised to this extent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahiya_d…
„Lidem v sociální nouzi pomáhá stát formou příspěvku na bydlení, která se odvíjí mimo jiné od výše nájmu. Systém tedy funguje tak, že majitelé ubytovny nastaví nájemné kolem dvaceti tisíc korun za pokojík, který obývá pětičlenná rodina, a tuto částku prakticky celou uhradí příspěvek na bydlení. A tento byznys a s ním i existenci ubytoven hradíme všichni z našich daní. Nejsou to tedy Romové, kdo zneužívá dávky, ale podnikatelé obchodující s chudobou.” denikreferendum.cz/clanek/3680…
Vystěhování obyvatel z ubytovny na Jarní ulici v Brně opět připomnělo, že to nejsou Romové, kdo zneužívá sociální dávky, ale podnikatelé obchodující s chudobou. Politické strany a místní samosprávy jim v tom mnohdy čile asistují.
