On my recent #Lufthansa flight, I noticed their free messaging plan on the onboard Wi-Fi allows #XMPP traffic (likely via port 5223), but HTTP uploads were blocked. So, I added a new feature to #Conversations_im that lets users retry failed uploads via Jingle P2P file transfer, which will fall back to IBB if needed. Can’t wait to test it on the return flight! ✈️

For at least the last 15 years, the translations of GNOME into Czech have been in excellent condition. With each release, I would only report that everything was translated, and for the last few years, this was also true the vast majority of the documentation. However, last year things started to falter. Contributors who had been carrying this for many years left, and there is no one to take over after them. Therefore, we have decided to admit it publicly: GNOME currently has no Czech translators, and unless someone new takes over, the translations will gradually decline.
Personally, I started working on GNOME translations in 2008 when I began translating my favorite groupware client – Evolution. At that time, the leadership of the translation team was taken over by Petr Kovář, who was later joined by Marek Černocký who maintained the translations for many years and did an enormous amount of work. Thanks to him, GNOME was almost 100% translated into Czech, including the documentation. However, both have completely withdrawn from the translations. For a while, they were replaced by Vojtěch Perník and Daniel Rusek, but the former has also left, and Dan has now come to the conclusion that he can no longer carry on the translations alone.
I suggested to Dan that instead of trying to appeal to those who the GNOME translations have relied on for nearly two decades—who have already contributed a lot and are probably facing some form of burnout or have simply moved on to something else after so many years—it would be better to reach out to the broader community to see if there is someone from a new generation who would be willing and energetic enough to take over the translations. Just as we did nearly two decades ago.
It may turn out that an essential part of this process will be that the GNOME translations into Czech will decline for some time.Because the same people have been doing the job for so many years, the community has gotten used to taking excellent translations for granted. But it is not. Someone has to do the work. As more and more English terms appear in the GNOME interface, perhaps dissatisfaction will motivate someone to do something about it. After all, that was the motivation for the previous generation to get involved.
If someone like that comes forward, Dan and I are willing to help them with training and gradually hand over the project. We may both continue to contribute in a limited capacity, but the project needs someone new, ideally not just one person, but several, because carrying it alone is a path to burnout. Interested parties can contact us in the mailing list of the Czech translation team at diskuze-l10n-cz@lists.openalt.org.

In the constellation Auriga, emission nebulas IC 417 (Spider) and NGC 1931 (Fly), both about 10,000 light-years away, house young star clusters. The deep image from Berkshire UK reveals these cosmic clouds with the Fly spanning 10 light-years.

Imagine if there was a bug that made it so every time your computer is under CPU loads above 10 or 20%, everything you do takes at least a second to respond and task manager's not responding.
Never mind, you don't have to imagine it, that's just called being blind in 2025.

Stop using #Google, cubs. Transition looks harder than it really is because we are creatures of habit, but there are better pastures beyond.
I myself have a @Tutanota subscription and use it for #email, calendar, and contacts (all three things you get on the email app). Very happy with how it works and how the contacts integrate with iPhone.

Yesterday a reporter asked me what I would say to someone who opposes public arts funding because a field that is maintained through subsidies clearly lacks a business model.
I said a business model is not something I consider valuable. It's not a metric I care about. I don't think markets are a measure of what's good.
I guess I feel similarly about gen AI and Tailwind? It's hard to discuss their utility, when we seem to disagree about what the goals are.
I don't need an agent, I need tools that respect my agency.
And my goal with CSS is to write styles that cascade. The cascade is the point. It's how we collaborate with users (and respect their agency). Tools designed to somehow avoid the cascade are not offering me something I want.

Wondering: are #storytelling contests for children a thing in other countries too?
In Hungary they are a staple in elementary school. Unfortunately, kids are made to learn folktales word for word and then recite them. Emphasis is on clear speech and mimicked regional "folksy" dialects. Also, tales are often chosen by teachers or parents rather than the kid. Not to mention the "contest" aspect. Now there's a cultural discussion developing around this.
Anything similar in other countries?

Uncharacteristically furious at Windows 11 increasingly aggressive upgrade messaging, which just recently switched from a thing in my taskbar to a fairly persistent nag to an aggressively difficult-to-dismiss popup that opens the settings menu for me to pick an upgrade time if I try to just close it.
Sorry Microsoft. In the last few months I've been through a layoff and a death in the family. The machine backing up my laptop died and needs to be replaced, and we're planning a cross-country move. Oh and now fascism and Nazis are mainstream again, and there are so many more things I haven't even bothered to list because, really, who among you can't relate to this.
In short, no, I don't want to fucking upgrade right now. Give me a moment to put out one of these fires but stop making your schedule and priorities my schedule and priorities, thanks.
