Sie vermitteln vor allem #Software #Lizenzen an #NGO's oder gemeinnützige Vereine zu Sonderkonditionen.
Sooft ich mich dort in den letzten Jahren für einen Verein informiert hatte, begegneten mir hauptsächlich Angebote für #Microsoft-Produkte.
Nun war ich auch mal beruflich in einem gemeinnützigen Unternehmen beschäftigt, welches solche Sonderlizenzen direkt von Microsoft in Anspruch nahm. Das ging ne Weile gut, bis Microsoft die Regeln änderte...
Das ist ein Grund, weshalb ich es als Vereinsvorstand ablehne, auf solche Sonderangebote einzugehen.
Nun hat stifter-helfen grad nachgefragt, warum unser Verein denn die Dienste nicht nutzen würde. Auf der Webseite heißt es, es wären über 90.000 Organisationen in ihren Datenbanken....
Eine Frage im Antwortformular lautet:
Was müsste sich ändern, damit Stifter-helfen wieder interessant für Ihre Organisation wird?
Da habe ich folgendes eingetragen:

“In the coverage of the conflict between Israel and Iran, we need to really emphasize the asymmetry between the interests of the two states: Iran would like to destroy Israel and Israel… would like not to be destroyed by Iran. This is not a situation where evenhandedness is appropriate.”

Exasperated and disturbed the new IP license in the Mastodon TOS has no termination clause.
mastodon.social/terms-of-servi…
Facebook and YouTube have terms saying you can intentionally remove your IP grant by deleting the content. Twitter lets you remove your IP grant by deleting your *accounts*, which is punitive, but possible to exercise (I did). It's very good Mastodon's grant is limited-use—but so was Tumblr, and it eventually abused its. I want Mastodon to be as pro-user as *Facebook and Google*.
The original server operated by the Mastodon gGmbH non-profitMastodon hosted on mastodon.social
Update:
Mastodon has checked its alarming new TOS into git as the new TOS template:
infosec.exchange/@dvandal/1146…
Meaning all new Ruby Mastodon instances created after this date who use the stock legal text will *also* adopt an irrevocable IP grant license (no way to terminate the license if you decide your instance is abusing it) for post content (and also potentially some existing instances, if they regenerate their TOS from templates)
( POST EDITED: hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/114… )
@mcc@mastodon.social @dvandal@infosec.exchange it would be up to the admin to regenerate their terms of service — the template is just used to populate a textarea which is stored in the database.Hachyderm.io
I've posted a Github issue outlining why I'm freaked out at the word "irrevokable" in Mastodon's new TOS IP clause:
New Terms of Service IP clause cannot be terminated or revoked, not even by deleting content

I can't believe that the UK would even contemplate deporting an 8 year old and an 12 year old to Brazil alone. This is the letter the home office sent the 11 year old:
“I am satisfied that there are no serious or compelling reasons to grant you settlement. I am satisfied that you could return to Brazil and continue your education in Brazil where you would have the option to attend an English-speaking school.Whilst this may involve a degree of disruption in family life this is considered to be proportionate to the legitimate aim of maintaining effective immigration control.”
I'm ashamed at the actions of this country.

The government’s inclusion of warrantless information demand powers in Bill C-2 may make this the most dangerous lawful access proposal yet, exceeding even the 2010 bill led by Conservative Public Safety Minister Vic Toews.Michael Geist
We could just ... not give police tear gas. That is a decision we could make. A state or city could make that decision, and remove it from inventory.
Maybe police do not actually need area-denial weaponry present at every public gathering. Maybe "people are throwing bottles at us, therefore tear gas" need not be the standard playbook.
The medical research on the _safety_ of CS gas suggests a spectrum from "unknown" to "probably dangerous, particularly the way it actually used": propublica.org/article/tear-ga… med.umn.edu/news/u-m-study-sho…
I had less luck finding studies about its _effectiveness_ of CS gas for the presumed goals of police forces: officer safety and encouraging compliance with dispersal order. I found a lot of quotes from police along the lines of "well, the only alternative is bashing people with batons" One study of the introduction of CS spray in UK police forces (for personal protection, not crowd control) did not find a clear win: doi.org/10.1108/13639510010343…
Anecdotally, we might look at the current situation at LA, or that a few years ago in Minneapolis, and note that CS gas was not effective in reducing crowd antagonism, even if it does move people from one place to another.
In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surfaces, and can cause long-term lung damage.ProPublica

In Gulliver's Travels, the Laputans had a machine called The Engine that put words together randomly, with scribes writing down any meaningful phrases that happened to be formed.
"Every one knew how laborious the usual method is of attaining to arts and sciences; whereas, by his contrivance, the most ignorant person, at a reasonable charge, and with a little bodily labour, might write books in philosophy, poetry, politics, laws, mathematics, and theology, without the least assistance from genius or study.”

There's this whole article about KiCad being broken on Wayland... but apparently it's all just a distro packaging problem???
kicad.org/blog/2025/06/KiCad-a…
The article doesn't mention XWayland at all, but KiCad works perfectly under XWayland as far as I can tell, and that is the default on at least Fedora! wxwidgets (the toolkit KiCad uses) is still flaky under native Wayland apparently, but it is perfectly okay to keep using XWayland for now, and you should! Apps and toolkits should not switch the default backend to Wayland until all major regressions are fixed, that's kind the whole reason why XWayland exists!
Here's a thread on the story: forum.kicad.info/t/not-the-sel…
If you are on a distro that enables KiCad Wayland support by default and you experience the issues in that blog post, you don't need to (and probably should not) switch to an X11 session. Just launch KiCad as GDK_BACKEND=x11 kicad and it should run under XWayland just as well as it does under X11 sessions.
Some distros are dropping support for the legacy Xorg server and X11-native sessions, but nobody is dropping support for X11 apps and XWayland, and nobody should be concerned about running apps in X11 mode for as long as it's needed!
Edit: If you're on GNOME with fractional scaling and XWayland apps are blurry, apparently there's a secret toggle to fix that these days.
The KiCad development team frequently receives questions about our support for Wayland. Given that Fedora and Ubuntu are both planning to drop X11 support from their main desktop environments in the near future, we want to provide clear, transparent …The KiCad editors (KiCad EDA)

🌿 New Group for Disabled Christians! ✝️♿
I'm excited to announce the launch of Imago Dei Disability Fellowship, a GroupMe community for Christians with all kinds of disabilities to connect, support one another, and advocate for accessibility and justice, all grounded in biblical truth.
This group is rooted in a conservative Christian worldview, including traditional beliefs about Scripture, gender, and identity. If you're looking for a space to talk about faith, disability, and advocacy without woke ideology—this is for you.
Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
— Romans 12:4-5 (NLT)
All are welcome who seek to follow Christ and live out the truth that we are made in the image of God. 💜

Od minuleho ctvrtka si delam reflexi prace s juniornimi vyvojari vs Codex. Nakousli jsme to s kolegou z Kalkulacky.
Rok pracuju s juniornim vyvojarem (placenym) a mesic s Codexem.
TL;DR: Codex mi dokaze juniora nejenom kompletne nahradit, ale za soucasne VC dumpingove ceny je 36x efektivnejsi.
Vsechno delam komentari v kodu, prompt je jenom "najdi koment TODO: Agent - neco a udelej ho." Muj Linear je vyhledavani TODO: v codebase.
*Cenova kalkulace nize
2/2
U juniora i Codexu mam za sebou dost ukolu na normalizaci. 1 normo-ukol je priblizne 4h casu => 1068 Kc.
Codex me stoji ve VC cenach 5219 Kc mesicne.
S Codexem jsem odbavil 175 produkcnich normo-ukolu => 1 ukol ~ 30 Kc.
Kdybych mel stejnou mesicni davku odbavit juniory stali by me 186900 Kc.
Jedina vyhoda juniornich vyvojaru je preciznost. Vsechno ostatni bere Codex. Coz je dost smutne a jestli AI vyrazne nezdrazi, tak to bude budouci trh dost bolet.
@zoul Diky za otazku, mel jsem ji pripravenou.
Neni. Je to presne naopak, Codex je v tomhle smyslu "investice".
Ja platim fixne aktualni MDM (striktne). Pokud bych mel juniora brat jako investici, tak by se za fixni plat musel v case zlepsovat a zaroven byt s tou MDM dlouhodobe spokojeny. A dlouhodobe je v horizontu let => musel byt pro me pracovat 2-3 roky vyrazne pod trzni cenou. To se nestane.
Naopak cenova valka AI a jeho postupne zlepsovani de opacnym smerem (AI mi zustane a bude lepsi).
@marekzprahy @zoul Na urovni organizace ne, ale na urovni produktu uz to tak byt muze.
OpenAI ma pro nejnovejsi modely drahe API, ale zaroven je prodava vyrazne pod cenou v ChatGPT produktu.
Claude Code je asi prvni, kde verim, ze ops celeho toho ekosystemu je v plusu.
AI Studio od Googlu, jeho casti, kde se plati per-1m tokenu taky.
Pro ne je to spis testovani, jak vysoko s cenou muzou jit a taky tim davaji "prilezitost" jinym startupum (a jejich VCs) ziskat uzivatele dumpnutim ceny API.
@zoul Presne tak. Co vacsina ludi ignoruje ze ak toto zacnu robit vsetci, o par rokov nebudu ziadni seniori, a tie tvoje TODO commenty tam nebude mat kto davat.
A co sa tyka ceny, tie LLM tooly pojdu nevyhnutne cenovo hore. Momentalne je v USA obrovska "AI" bublina ktora zerie miliony dolarov denne od investorov, a "AI" firmy sa zufalo snazia najst nejaky udrzatelny revenue stream predtym nez investori stratia trpezlivost. Zatial bezvysledne.
@ticho @zoul Ano, tohle je obrovske riziko a duvod, proc jsem psal, ze to bude pro budouci trh tragedie.
Ale je strasne odvazne predikovat, ze ta bublina praskne. Signaly jsou na obe strany:
Pro prasknuti:
- Realna cena Claude Code (za podobnou praci ~$2k) => jenom 4x levnejsi.
Proti prasknuti:
- Demokratizace LLM za nulovou marzi => provider bude vlastnit elektrarnu a prodavat elektrinu v podobe AI.
- Zlepseni efektivity (viz treba Bottlecap AI).
Neni to cernobile.

This is a silly sequence thing I did in the early morning hours of October 11, 2015, using an Arturia Microbrute and a Korg ARP Odyssey, both analog sequencers, in combination with a Digitech Studio Quad IV processor. I made a very basic sequence using the Microbrute's onboard step sequencer, connected the CV pitch and gate outputs from the Microbrute to the Odyssey, turned on the sequencer, then just played with a bunch of sliders and knobs, including filters, envelopes, effects sends, panning and tempo, all while this simple sequence that really seems to enjoy moving around in fourths continues.
It's nothing that was ever meant to be anything real. Just me messing around on a boring Sunday morning.
For the past five days, we've had to go to the bomb shelter several times a day to protect ourselves from Iranian missiles. This morning, they sent 20 missiles closer to our apartment than any of the previous attacks. One of the Missiles landed in the next town and created a great big hole.
This is what it sounded like from our kitchen window.
