In case you missed the last #GNOME foundation update: we're excited to share that we have officially joined the @gnome advisory board! We hope this will help us bring more attention to the #LinuxMobile effort and let us make GNOME on postmarketOS even better across all form factors.

#práce #homeoffice #nezaměstnanost
Nechápu, proč drtivá většina IT firem po covidové pandemii zrušila možnost 100% práce z domova. To mě nakonec donutilo změnit můj obor, takže už žádný webdesign / webdev 😐 Prostě jsem musel změnit plány při hledání práce. Třeba je to tak lepší, skoro 19 let jsem si užil docela dostatečně a nelíbí se mi směr, kterým celý webdev obor kráčí: namísto ustálení nebo zjednodušení se vše pořád jen víc komplikuje. Docela lituju nováčky, dnes bych v tom začínat nechtěl.

Myslím si, že ten negativní trend se týká celého IT odvětví. Náročnější integrační role budou mít pořád o práci postaráno, ale "dělníci kódu" budou pod tlakem a myslím, že v oboru už dobře bylo. Kdybych byl dnes na začátku kariéry, tak už asi volím trochu něco jiného. Něco na pomezí. Třeba IT a energetika.

@sesivany
Je to docela smutné uvědomění. Už dlouho melanchonicky vzpomínám na 80ky a 90ky. Ne vše bylo růžové, samozřejmě, ale mám pocit, že se opravdu hodně oblastí každých 15-20 let změní k horšímu. Slibovanou zlatou budoucnost lidstva na téhle planetě teda opravdu nečekám.
BTW mě by dnes alternativně zajímalo třeba embedded programování (v tom vidím stále potenciál), ale to už mi dávno ujel vlak.

Trump’s victory over PBS and NPR ‘bias’ will be ‘devastating’ for rural areas, station leaders say — CNN

Public TV stations will be “forced to make hard decisions in the weeks and months ahead,” PBS CEO Paula Kerger said Thursday, after the Senate approved a bill canceling all the federal funding for the network.

@vartak This is on our roadmap, but we need the underlying work on our database to be done first! You can read how that work is going in the Thunderbird Monthly Development Digests at blog.thunderbird.net

So at @thunderbird we have this database of email server configurations: github.com/thunderbird/autocon…

In a conversation with @cketti a while ago, I started wondering how many of those configs rely on POP3.

I'm happy to finally present the numbers:

Out of 152 configs,

- 16 only provide an IMAP server (10.5%)
- 45 only provide a POP3 server (29.6%)
- 91 have both a POP3 and an IMAP server (59.7%)

This analysis naively assumes that all configs in that repo still work and are up to date ;)

This year I have two presentations; the first one, on July 24, is a technical talk about the "GType Next" project that I blogged about in 2023. I'm going to present the work I've done (less than I'd like, more than I expected) on moving the GLib type system into the 21st century; why it matters for the long term viability of GNOME; and how that will affect writing libraries, bindings, and applications:

#DobréRanko všem...
Dnes je to ve mlýně "na Komárka".
Výjimečně trochu pozdní snídaně,
pak na chvilku na rozvodnu, jen naložit pokud vše funguje jak má.
No a vzhůru domů, do hor, abych jen vypral, zabalil stan a víkend zase u Sázavy, ale o hodně více po proudu, jdeme natahovat asi 150m plotu.
A to bude závěr mého prvního týdne dovolené, 3 dny v práci, 1 den na kole, 1 den doma u pračky a za plotnou, 2 dny tahání plotu.
A to bylo včera #55 ....

Holt ne vždy se daří....

#EpsteinFiles #MAGA
It's going to get much worse. MAGA are furious and in open revolt and not just about Epstein. They're not happy with the level and violence of the deportations and want more. They're demanding the public execution of 'deep state' criminals they were promised for 8 years.

Trump's Epstein strategy could pit him against loyal supporters

In defending how his administration is handling supposed files... he says "some stupid Republicans" fell for a hoax.

How Big Tech Exploits Apps to Circumvent Privacy Laws

Despite GDPR, CCPA, and CPRA, Big Tech continues to bypass data protection laws through a powerful loophole: mobile apps.

Android, iOS, and Windows apps operate as closed surveillance ecosystems, where Terms of Service and permissions legally transform your smartphone into a data extraction tool.
