Zlodeji dostali krídla a sú čoraz agresívnejší, obchodníci občas vidia na policajtoch apatiu

Krádeže v obchodoch stále pribúdajú, potvrdzujú to niektorí obchodníci. Viac než finančné straty ich však trápia obavy o zamestnancov, zlodeji sú totiž čoraz agresívnejší. Podľa niektorých občas badať náznaky nezáujmu u policajtov.

Niekoho to zrejme aj napadlo, ale zamer bol dostat "seba a par kamosov" co najrychlejsie mimo riziko stihania a teda reci typu "to je komplikovame" sli stranou.

Tr. z. je komplexna vec, sucast este vacsej komlexnej veci: spolunazivanie.

Tu komplexitu evidentne zohladnili, lebo ak znizovali sadzby a limity za velke lupy, tak znizili aj za male. Lebo suvisi a prilis by bilo do oci ak by male neposunuli. 1/2

This is part of R&D for Liblast and Liblast Framework.
Based on CGI data from #NASA, that was interpreted frivolously to an 8x8 km area and then sclupted over to add detail that was missing from the original textures.

TIL: @tuxedocomputers released #Linux #kernel drivers for their machines under the #GPLv3, which makes it impossible for competitors and distros to ship them pre-compiled, as that license is incompatible with the #LinuxKernel's #GPLv2 only license.

They did this purposely, allegedly to "keep control of the upstream pacing" – and want to re-license the code while upstreaming.

Using Explorer Patcher (github.com/valinet/ExplorerPat…) has just revolutionized my Windows 11 experience, now that I got it to work, finally after a year of not looking at it and tossing it in the dustbin.
I personally had a hard time clicking a blank area of my taskbar with a screen reading tool, so if you are using one, an alternative is to run this command from your Run (Windows +R) dialog:
C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher\ExplorerPatcher.amd64.dll",ZZGUI
after running, a window titled "properties" should open. Use up and down arrow to choose a setting, left and right to change one.
I personally enabled the shell integration, simple tab switcher, and in advanced, definitely "Enable SysListView32 for Explorer views" - this will give you the older "folder view list view" type view when browsing lists of folders, and it does speed up the arrowing back to how I remember it. Be sure to also check the "control interface" setting and if you want the older Windows 7 menu bar back, choose "Windows 7 command bar."
All of this does make Explorer Patcher worth it, especially if running on non-insider builds. Highly recommended for anyone fed up with Windows 11's bloat and slowness.
Side note: I could not get it to cooperate well with my Open Shell once I reverted to the older Start Menu, so I've removed that for now.

“What is a man? Is he defined by things like morphology or longevity? If form alters content—that is, if the shape of the container fundamentally influences what it contains—what will it mean to society if a man no longer resembles a man? If those things which have always driven us—birth, aging and death—are altered or eliminated, will it make us into something new? If a man need not fear death, will that make us more human than our ancestors, or less?"

After upgrading to #Android 15 I was tracking down this bug in #Conversations_im where the color of the text in the status bar sometimes doesn't change with the app theme. Occasionally I would get white status bar text on top of a light theme.
Then I noticed that other apps - including the clock app! - have the same issue.
I'm absolutely convinced that the engineers working on Android are all using iPhones. I mean how does one not notice issues like that?
The clock app in dark mode with the text of the status bar in black barely visible.
Firefox in light mode with the text of the status bar in white barely visible.

Since Android 12, my Firefox has a similar problem. I always thought it was because of it not getting the switch from light to dark theme or vice versa because one force close and restart later it's fine again. But that's not the whole story as the chrome inside the app follows the system theme. It's just the status bar. I can only imagine that that's only set at app startup once and never touched again. Or not runtime changeable at all.

If you are a composer, musician or sound engineer, Panagement is amazing for sound positioning. The binaural delay is amazing, the reverb is immersive and everyone needs chipmods now and then. Everything is automatable.

This is a small company, no registration codes, just fully working plugins once you buy the full version which is currently on sale. The free version has everything but the delay and the chipmod and there are audio demos on the site as well. Check it out at auburnsounds.com/products/Pana…

By IRONY in Kingston Upon Thames, UK for The Royal Borough Of Street Art.

43 Purrfect Street Art Pieces: A Tribute to Our Cats: streetartutopia.com/2024/08/10…

See all of the mural 🔽

Close-up of a mural by street artist IRONY in Kingston Upon Thames, UK, for The Royal Borough of Street Art, featuring a realistic depiction of an orange and white cat squeezed into a square box. The cat is curled up in a tight space, with its limbs twisted playfully, and its large, bright eyes staring forward. The detail in the cat's fur and expression captures its playful yet slightly awkward position, adding a humorous and lifelike charm to the artwork. The realistic style emphasizes the softness of the fur against the hard edges of the frame.

I don't want to be a mean person, but if he really said that, this is really ungrateful and shows how much appreciation he actually has about other countries helping when help was needed. Compassion goes so far, but threatening a nation's security in the name of war allies, wellp. Nope. If only everyone could go for peace. Just for a year, or like 20... Often people have short memories about help. Humans just cannot appreciate today. I am not going to talk about the other end, where ukrainians here live better than us in my own country, but okay. Unfortunately it happens a lot these days that someone else lives better in someone else's country. People need to learn how to appreciate, and how to have compassion. Because we're all connected, want it or not. Even on a human level we're the same, we do the same things. So a bit of respect won't go unnoticed. and saying so and so isn't doing enough but you know they can more is just, greed. I am sorry.

HER salary is 13% less than HIS.

On #EqualPayDay, we symbolically mark the date when women stop earning compared to men. For every €1 a man earns, a woman earns only €0.87.

So, from today until 31 December, it is as if women in the EU effectively work for free.

Our message is clear: Equal work deserves equal pay.

We are committed to tackling pay inequality with legislation on:

🔹 pay transparency
🔹 gender balance on boards
🔹 minimum wages
🔹 work-life balance

More → europa.eu/!TBqJj8

Illustration showing two stacks of euro coins representing the gender pay gap. The stack labelled 'Hers' is shorter, with some coins faded, symbolising the lower average earnings for women. The stack labelled 'His' is taller with one additional coin on top, representing higher average earnings for men. In the bottom right corner, there is an EU flag with stars arranged in a circle.

Statement by Vice-President Jourová and Commissioners Schmit and Dalli on the occasion of the European Equal Pay Day

On the 2024 European Equal Pay Day, we reaffirm our commitment to build a Europe where women and girls can thrive and where their contributions to the labour market are fully valued.

Time for my yearly Desert Bus 2024 art thread!

To start out with, some work I did for @DB_VST ! From left to right, paintings for call-ins, a representation of ORB and string-worms, and a new Beer O'Clock icon!

Illustrations in watercolour, text in ink, on 160gsm wood-pulp watercolour paper.

(Note: The bottom text is digitally composited from 2 attempts, because I messed up the first time =V )

@desertbus #desertbus #DB2024 #calligraphy #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #art

Three watercolour paintings. From left to right: 1) a 1950s-style red telephone receiver. 2) the ORB, its red button pointed forward and glowing, on a bed of plush string-worms. 3) A beer stein, with an overflowing head of foam. Below the paintings, the words "BEER O'CLOCK" in uncial script in brown ink. Signed Laogeodritt, dated 9 November 2024.

Calligraphy and a small watercolour painting on cream-coloured paper. In black ink and italic script, it reads, "Every closing of a tab is a tiny murder". Below that, a painting of a browser tab with a knife through its X-shaped close button. The tab icon is an A in a circle, and the title reads AAAAAAAAA, in script that gets messier as it goes.

Desert Bus 2024, Day 7. (Yes, I did skip Day 6.)

A Night Watch Art Challenge for their Beyblades slogan, "If you love something, let it rip!"

In Japanese, the Beyblades anime uses "Go shoot!", so I translated this as「何かを好きならGO SHOOT」.

Sumi ink, watercolour, Japanese calligraphy brushes, watercolour brushes, Western broad nib pens, cold-press watercolour paper.

@desertbus

#db2024 #desertbus #art #calligraphy #japanesecalligraphy #書道 #ItalicScript #watercolour #watercolor #wordArt #slogan

A logo-like word art piece. It reads, in Japanese, "nanika wo suki nara GO SHOOT!!". The first line is in kaishō script in black, and the words GO SHOOT are in red watercolour. Below it, the English words in italic script and black ink, it reads: "If you love something, let it rip!!" The S in GO SHOOT is extended to create two disks, in a red-to-yellow gradient above and below that evoke spinning beyblades. A light orange splotch forms the background, on white paper.

Oof, how did that happen? Also I am fan of hard drives, not SSds, mainly because they spin, and because the sound is kind of soothing if the hard drive is well-made. SSD is just like, nothing, silent. I have a 500Gb one, and it works, it's okay, but only if I need to use it for a VM from time to time. I won't deny the faster speeds though, also there should be some care of these ssds and whatever. I am not sure and I don't understand so I can't say much on it.
