#KarelKučera - to jméno si pamatujte. To je chlap, kterej stál na správný straně a za boj proti zlu byl ochotnej obětovat i život. Chlap, kterého ocenil i #prezident.
#PaměťNároda mluvila s jeho rodiči a parťáky, aby jeho příběh nebyl zapomenutej. Aby jeho jméno znělo dál.
Když se Kučerovi dozvěděli, že syn Karel odjel bojovat na Ukrajinu, šíleli strachem. „Pokud ruská vojska neporazím já tam, budeme s nimi za pár let bojovat my tady,“ říkal prý. Karel zemřel při obraně Bachmutu 18. března 2023.
New blog post about the recent migration of our project's website and build infrastructure, kindly sponsored by our new #hosting provider, Mythic Beasts (here in the Fediverse as @beasts ).
It shouldn’t surprise you, but here we have an obsession for self-hosting. We fought off many requests to migrate our hosting to Github (even before it was cool to hate Github - Prosody and Github were both founded in the same year!).
This article explores the barriers blind students encounter when accessing learning content online. Some of their findings include images lacking alternative text, math content presented as images, inaccessible tables, and buttons without labels. The article also highlights accessibility barriers present in video games too. Please check out the full article for more information. #accessibilityproquest.com/openview/793393e2…
"Conservatives are the party of toxic optimism. They’re recklessly overconfident, whatever their actual chances. That’s what you’d expect from a party run by religious fundamentalists who believe God is on their side. Blind faith is the supreme virtue, and admitting to any doubt is ferociously discouraged and will get you cast out.
Progressives have the opposite problem. We’re excessively pessimistic, often more so than the facts support. We’re overly susceptible to doom and gloom and catastrophizing. After bad headlines, I often find social media becomes unbearable for a few days, as people I follow engage in a collective lamentation.
I try to bear this in mind and calibrate my expectations accordingly. I find it’s most pleasant to live in a state of mild optimism: hoping for the best, but being prepared for the worst."

Hey lovely beings of the fediverse, I'm a #neurodivergent woman seeking others who have a passion for #breathwork, #hypnosis, and #meditation, and other subjects that might be related. I'm actively working on being able to speak about these things in everyday conversation, both because I'd like to connect with more folks who have at least some understanding of any or all of these things, and in an attempt to teach myself that the world won't end if people don't have that prior knowledge/understanding. To that end, any and all replies are welcome. PS: I'm also a #writer, and maintain a youtube channel where I post soundscapes and other things, though mostly soundscapes at the moment. That channel can be found here: youtube.com/@rozaya8476
Hi, lovely person! I am another kind of neurodivergent person, who also loves meditation, breathwork, and might sometimes write, I also occasionally break things. :) I hope you're well. Oh and did I forget to mention I live on the other side of the world? Exaggerated of course, only now, I have to wish you good afternoon. :) I'd love to chat, or whatever is comfortable. If I find something interesting, I tend to talk a lot.
««Hay una cosa muy evidente, y es que la evaluación de la gestión de la catástrofe generada por la DANA la hacen quienes la padecen, y estos han dictaminado que hay deficiencias graves cuando a una semana semana de la lluvia aun hay basura sin retirar que puede ser foco de infecciones, hay posiblemente cadáveres en los garajes, o hay falta de alimentos y suministros básicos que no llegan a la población más vulnerable.».
Teoreticky bych si také mohl zajít na pravý Döner tady v Düsseldorfu, ale dnes je v plánu večeře v japonské restauraci, tak si to asi nechám na zítřek…d8-D
Tyvole, tady si někdo žije! 😁 Rád bych si dal taky, ale většina provozoven, kde to nabízejí, nevypadá moc dobře po hygienické stránce, tak se bojím. 😁 V roce 2018 jsem na to dojel.
@fabia_man Já si kebab nedávám hlavně v létě, člověk neví kdy dělali ty omáčky. Tady na malé bavorské vesničce si moc dovolovat nemůžou. Je vidět, že se o provozovnu starají. Má to s manželkou a je tam i celkem fajn posezení.
Take a job that could be done literally anywhere, use it to make people live like this so that office buildings stay valuable and then announce that the health and wellness program now includes mindfulness coaching and yoga.
Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 55 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link minepi.com/FreakyFwoof and use my username (FreakyFwoof) as your invitation code.
Great to see this many pi miners, more than I've seen in a very long time. Until last Friday there were only two in my circle mining. Now there are 7. Love to see it.
@BorrisInABox Given that Pi Coin is worth a fluctuating amount of USd, last I checked around 39/coin, I'd say it might well be. I never got into Bitcoin when I should have, stupid to do that. With this even if it went nowhere, pressing a button on a screen once every day doesn't hurt. I've amassed quite a collection doing that, as I think I've missed less than a week in all those years.
Quite interesting. Are they actually convertable? and transferable nowadays, or? Because I read about these yesterday, but, I think that paper was a bit older. Haha.

Bueno gente, pues junto a mi hermana he creado una web de ayuda (principalmente, dar información y servir de punto de encuentro digital) para los damnificados por la #DANA, focalizada en #Paiporta (que es donde vive ella), pero con un enfoque que tal vez le pueda resultar útil también a gente de otras zonas afectadas. Si podéis difundir, se agradece: paiporta.illustietor.com/
Desde Paiporta creamos esta plataforma para informar del estado de nuestros vecindarios, visibilizar nuestras necesidades y echarnos una mano en lo que podamos.

#Dnf this #Fanfiction. The opening chapter was enough to tell me that the Harry Potter mentioned in the summary holds very little relation to the Harry I might enjoy reading about.
After the war Harry Potter's world falls apart. Then he is offered a chance to try and make a better future for himself and his friends. Of course things are never simple.
@modulux Trope or not, Manipulative Dumbledore is always an attention-catcher because truly, he's ugly enough inside for it to b believable. May not be the point behind this particular fic, but it rings true imo.
Yeah, it's not my favourite, but some stories with a manipulative Dumbledor, evil or just ruthless, are well done. I just think the stories of making this absolutely overpowered lord of all the houses, shis diamonds, marries 50 girls type character is not something I'm into.
@modulux I'd say he had a fair part to play, no? He got Harry away from his relatives, allowed him to have the club room etc, didn't try to stifle him, I mean yeah. I'd say he did quite a lot.
@FreakyFwoof @modulux I guess I'm so used to him meddling in fanfic that to me, he just let Harry get on with things in this one. That's more rolling with what happens than directing in a positive way. But he's been written so many ways, I guess a light hand on the wheel might come across to me as not doing much.
If you are a person anywhere on the autism spectrum, you may experience "Justice Sensitivity" and if you're like me, you may find it difficult to understand how so many people don't and how this could possibly be the norm.
Justice sensitivity is a trait common in autistic and ADHD individuals. Learn how justice sensitivity impacts autistic individuals and how to care for yourself.
Me so many times. :( Then I just have to deal with the fact the world is unfair... Do you experience sensitivity to others suffering too? Does it hit you hard? Ans also, because I am a human I thought you're autistic too. So excuse me if, I sounded rude with my question. 😳
@tardis I am very probably somewhere on the spectrum, though never professionally diagnosed. I am very high-functioning and have over many years found ways to cope with how absolutely fuckin' weird most people are. (Like why would you say one thing but do another??? What's that even about? You DON'T obsess about Doctor Who?? What?)
And yes, ironically I find that in this mode, folks on the spectrum, who are often painted with a broad brush that they have trouble with empathy, actually experience MORE empathy for others than most people. I think this characterization about people on the spectrum is wrong and lacks nuance: just because we may find it difficult to get inside another person's head, that doesn't AT ALL mean that we don't care what happens to them.
Me, same! :) It's good to find someone else who relates to me. I have empathy, but I have to be connected to the people. I used to be able to not be connected to the people I could be empathic to, but trauma had a play in it. So, now it's different. also, is it only me, or does it sometimes feel like someone flipped a switch and suddenly you ge this weird brain fog and are like, nope, sorry, whatever you're saying, I can't understand or process it.
@tardis I haven't experienced that so much, but sometimes when I am mentally tired or sleep deprived, certainly. I suspect I'm sort of just barely on the spectrum though, and my experiences are not representative of the vast sea of possibilities with neurodivergence.
The upside, of course, is being able to focus on incredibly complex, difficult problems that scare other people away. We're wired up differently, not wrongly.
Este sábado se cumplieron 30 años del cocido en el que se plantó la idea del movimiento cultural gallego conocido como bravú.
Así que para mi #MusicMonday de este lunes haré un especial dedicado a la música con la que los gallegos crecimos en nuestra infancia y adolesciencia durante los 90.

zastanawiałam się, czy wrzucać dodatkowo u siebie, jako osobnego toota, skoro już krąży po sieci, temat kontrowersyjny, a ja cierpię na chroniczny niedobór doby ;)
ale w sumie mogę zapuścić linka i dodatkowo otagować:
Czy polska szkoła musi być uzależniona od Big Techów? Państwo promuje zagraniczne korporacje w polskich szkołach. Osoby szanujące prywatność sprowadza do "roszczeniowych dziwaków". My wszyscy natomiast to finansujemy z naszych podatków.
@avolha Z czasów licealnych / pandemicznych, to Polskie szkoły były tak niedofinansowane, że w praktyce kończyły uzależnione od Discorda, bo to było jedyne darmowe i sensowne na tą skalę rozwiązanie. to był dopiero prywatnościowy problem, zwłaszcza przy domyślnych ustawieniach i udostępnianiu kadrze informacji, kto, w co i kiedy gra.
@OttovonWenkoff Jindřichův Hradec 😍 tak jsem strávil takového času zamlada, tam a v Lásenicich. Máma někdy v 68 maturovala na zdejším gymplu. Jj svět je malý.
Could daylight saving time ever be permanent? Where it stands in the states "...We've had daylight saving time for longer than eight months at a time before, and it wasn't a big hit. From February 1942 until September 1945, the U.S. took on what became known as "War Time," when Congress voted to make daylight saving time year-round during the war in an effort to conserve fuel.

The surprisingly deep reason why teens are calling everyone “chat.” "...The term, originally used in contexts like “chat, this real?” to “chat, am I cooked?” stems from the world of Twitch and Discord, as streamers ask their audience for clarification, support, and answers where viewers can communicate with the streamer through text. But now, it’s become adopted as IRL slang, used in any context, for any reason" slate.com/technology/2024/11/c…
The United States Commerce Department is figuring out ways to keep Intel afloat after it posted $16.3 billion in losses this quarter. One of the options includes a merger with market rivals such as AMD and Marvell.
I had no idea that North Carolina allows spouses to share a voting booth. Both must consent to that, but of course an abused (or otherwise scared or intimidated) spouse isn't going to complain.
As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access.
The idea of an all-knowing computer program comes from science fiction and should stay there. Despite the seductive fluency of ChatGPT and other language models, they remain unsuitable as sources of knowledge.
