Why? Well, consider an app that is known to introduce (even if temporarily sometimes), quirky accessibility bugs. Now imagine that same app shoehorning updates each time you launch and you cannot downgrade if it breaks. Then, imagine if when you complained, you got redirected to the metaphorical recycle bin chat bot thingy that tells you to reinstall the app and have a good day. Pair this up with accessibility quirks that have existed for years at this point, and you get an idea of how valued you are as a customer. Finally, the icing on the shitcake: imagine that while all of this happens, you get random popups or elements on screen that beg you to pay a monthly subscription, or show ads for promoted games and content. In your chat app.
I don't get the impression of, "We really care about you and hope you have the best experience possible." Instead, I imagine them being like, "Well, suck it up. We've got the monopoly and all your friends, so you're just gonna deal with it anyway. That makes us money. We might fix it later."
Is there a browser on #Linux whose PWAs don't suck? By "not suck", I mean "don't ever forget the app homepage and make me navigate there" and "don't ignore my use-native-titlebar setting".

Don’t show a list part of an action to reorder it immediately causing to select the wrong item. Reorder then show. Looking at you Element X.
Don’t use swipe left to go back to the history of swipe right will not do the opposite and instead do something else.
Example: tap on a post, swipe left goes back but swipe right does show it again. Instead it switches views.

Mazda si nechala patentovat šestidobý motor. V muzeu technologických zajímavostí zapomenutých značek se bude určitě vyjímat až Changan začne na svá auta dávat i své logo. Proč to ale zmiňuji. Ten motor umí oddělovat a zachytávat uhlík, tzn. žádné CO2 z motoru nejde, ale občas by se musel někde vysypat. Prý toho jsou až desítky kg na nádrž paliva. A teď přijde diskuse, kde borec řeší, kam by se to vyhazovalo a ani ho nenapadne, že to teď každý den dýchá.

Mazda si patentovala šestitaktní motor. Palivo si částečně sám vyrábí
S nastupující dobou elektrickou už moc často nepíšeme o novém druhu spalovacího motoru. Zásobárnou nových nápadů, jak jej udržet při životě déle, je Mazda, která si nově patentovala šestitaktní motor.Michal Dokoupil (Auto.cz)
Elektricky pohon je cistsi... pokud se elektrina nevyrabi z uhli.
Ale me zajimalo jak je to s tou ucinnosti... Dle robota by ten sestitakt vyuzil jen 40% energie z paliva, coz mi prijde jako maly problem :
When burning gasoline, how much energy comes from H -> H20 and how much from C -> CO2?


ChatGPT said:

Thought for 50s
Short answer (using gasoline ≈ octane, C₈H₁₈):
About 41% of the fuel’s energy comes from H → H₂O
About 59% comes from C → CO₂
@pavel @Petr90 To mi přijde trochu posunuté v neprospěch EV. Moderní uhelné elektrárny mají uhlíkovou intenzitu 0,8 kg/kWh. Taky se mi nechce moc věřit, že s čistým benzínem, který má podobný výkon jako EV, se dá jezdit za 6l/100 km. Náš benzín měl papírově 6,2 l, za nejlepších podmínek jezdil za 7 a reálně ta spotřeba byla kolem 8. Zato u EV máme reálnou dlouhodobou spotřebu 16 kWh/100 km a to nemám zdaleka nejúspornější EV a manželka to dost honí, já jezdím na spotřebu a kolem 15 kWh/100km.
Jinak já poslední 4 měsíce jezdím za 0,55 kg CO2/100 km. 🙂
@sesivany @pavel @Petr90 Vygooglil jsem 0.8 až 1.2, počítal jsem 1 kg. S 0.8 to je samozřejmě o kousek lepší.
Naše Mazda uměla jezdit za 6l/100km. Po okreskách a fakt klidnou jízdou. Tesla ale umí v takových podmínkách 13 kWh/100km, takže záleží jak se to počítá. Tam kde měla Mazda na dálnici 10l/100 (23 kg CO2), tak Tesle stačí 23 kWh/100 (18-23 kg CO2 z uhlí, 11 kg z aktuálního mixu).
Dá se to spočítat tak aby vyšlo obojí :)
@pavel @Petr90 Ony jsou nějaké ztráty i v přenosové soustavě a při nabíjení, takže se asi dá říct, že to vyjde šulnul, ale pro EV je to ta nejhorší možná varianta, pro ICE standard.
Ale jak jsi psal, varianta, že auto jezdí čistě na uhlí, je nereálná. I v tom Polsku, které závisí při výrobě elektřiny na uhlí zdaleka nejvíc z celé Evropy, je uhlíková intenzita 0,7 kg/kWh. U nás jsme na 2/3.

Catima will be 1 of about 50 acrylic paintings that can be seen from 28 September in the next (6th ) FOSS exhibition.
Last night at karaoke, one of the regulars did one of her usual songs, "Wonder" by Natalie Merchant. Am I wrong to find this song offensive? Here's what Wikipedia says about its origin:
> In a BBC Mastertapes interview, Merchant said the song "... was about a child born with a congenital disease," twins she had known personally. It was later found out that the twins had epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic condition that results in easy blistering of the skin and mucous membranes.

I would strongly suggest people get Catima from #IzzyOnDroid instead of F-Droid, as the F-Droid version is currently outdated due to a build system issue on their side (github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…) and IzzyOnDroid generally updates faster and has Catima as Reproducible Build.
That aside, love the new icon! Will you update it in the icon pack or not? :)

AGP 8.12.0 doesn't work on the buildserver. See https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issues/593 for more details. Could you please downgrade AGP to 8.11.1? Thanks!linsui (GitHub)
Thank you very much for your praise.
1. yes, this will be exchanged with the other one. The previous one will be deleted, the new one will go into the icon pack
2. and in the 6th FOSS exhibition, which starts in 4 weeks.

Not sure if it's a bug in the @rust compiler or something else but I get this:

It started happening when using f64 instead of u16 (works fine at f32), so it's related to the size I guess.

Don't be this reviewer, who uses #ChatGPT to show the references that I should have cited, and which are of course fake.
And don't be the editor who let this through as an allowable review.
And then make a final decision that won't be reconsidered.

Monarch tip 12
Yes, you can indeed plug in a HDMi cable to the Monarch, and have all of its output sent to a HDMI Monitor including audio output.
Just plug in a HDMI cable to the port on the right hand side at the front of the Monarch, other end in to your TV, select the correct HDMI channel, and off you go.

Monarch tip 15 and the final one in this initial tip post series
If you have ever used any of the Braille devices from Humanware, then you know how to use the Monarch overall.
This is because the Monarch, like all other Braille devices in the main from Humanware are or were all based on KeySoft which has been around since 1990.
As with all Braille devices from HW, you will find the User Guide on the device.
In the Monarch, and depending on how you have your main menu customised, you will either find the User Guide on the Main Menu or under All Applications.
Enjoy
