> I další mužští lídři pirátských kandidátek připisují masivní úspěch svých kolegyň především kampani Kroužkuj ženu.

Ale prdlajz… prostě ve sněmovně voliči chtěli ženy. Já jsem třeba ani nevěděl, že nějaká taková iniciativa existovala. A tohle je přesně ten důvod, proč…

„Kdybych vyzval ke kroužkování mužů, ve straně končím.“ Někteří přeskákaní piráti nesou neúspěch těžce

Piráti získali osmnáct poslaneckých křesel, patnáct z nich připadlo ženám. Ty většinou přeskočily i muže na prvních příčkách kandidátek. To v části strany vyvolává pnutí.

To give you some numbers: had we kept all apps that were ever added to IzzyOnDroid, we'd now be at about 2.5k apps in our repo. But since our repo started back in 2016…

* 687 apps have been removed
* 437 apps have been removed when they reached F-Droid (back when we still removed them at that point)
* 1.294 are listed as of today

So in summary, 2.418 apps were here altogether.

Oh, PS: 2 of the updated apps were "resurrected" ones today: one was "dormant" since 2018, the other since 2020. Trying to upstream our app metadata (Fastlane structures) we are reaching out to many devs, and these two felt motivated enough to pick up development again and make new releases. One of them even 2 releases in short succession :awesome: That was Senslogs, from 2018, which is now even confirmed as Reproducible Build: apt.izzysoft.de/packages/fr.in… 🥳

We hope you enjoy them!

Now I have several blog posts in my head, which isn't really the best place to keep them... I think I remember reading a Stephen King interview where he talked about having a goal to write a certain number of words every day. I need to get back into the habit of doing that. Even if I only write a little every day, it is better than nothing and will eventually lead to having something completed. I have trouble linearizing things sometimes and start to obsess over exactly how to say what I want to say, but I'm not sure there's a way around that other than to just start writing.

I keep reading posts that admonish people for speaking about a particular thing. We're told there's no harm there's no downside this person can do nothing to you. Stop and the activity will stop. I read, I reread and I still shake my head in disbelief because here's the thing, both approaches hath been tried by some of us and guess what, absolutely nothing changes. Furthermore telling people they shouldn't feel however they feel, whether it's fear, anxiety, frustration or anything else is ineffective. And to indicate that no damage can be done is short sighted because if people are inconvenienced, anxious, fearful or their ability to enjoy an activity or platform they once enjoyed is diminished by the actions of another, something has been done to them, some harm has been caused. If some feel the need to try the ignore and stay silent approach great go with it for as long as it works for you. But if others can't or choose differently, maybe they're not wrong they're just taking a different path because perhaps they need to do so for whatever reason.

Dali jsme si dneska rande s @archos ve Varech a oba jsme koukali, proč nám chodí požadavky OSCloud.cz na zřízení nových účtů a přístup k našim skvělým OpenSource službám na serveru… A pak najednou kouknete na záznamy z JOpenSpace 2025 a div vám nevypadnou oči z důlků.
Tohle jsou přesně ty momenty, kdy si říkáte že ten čas, co za tím je, stojí za to 🩶

Diky všem kdo šíří povědomí o OS projektech a třeba se i přidají!

A Mac-like experience on Linux

In 2016, after being a Mac guy for 23 years, I took the plunge and made a full-time switch to Linux. I did my research, and over and over again encountered the idea that GNOME was good for MacOS re…

In case anyone else needs to put a Windows ISO onto a USB stick and, for some strange reason, needs to do it from Linux, I figured out that I can't just dd the ISO to the USB device, or I end up with an image that my computer doesn't detect as being bootable. I found this tool that worked like a charm: github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB

Sunday.

I'm most pleased to report that at 12:17PM yesterday afternoon, Kim delivered our son Bertie. He came out with the right numbers of toes, fingers, ears (sadly he seems to have inherited mine) and so forth.
It's suddenly astonishingly real, this child we've been trying for (and waiting for) for over 13 years.

Kim's labour was ... Intense. Bertie was a bit on the large side. Seeing her go through something so intensely physical was a real experience. Being at the business end of things during the delivery was an incredible thing also. I was lucky enough to help deliver the head and cutting the chord was special too. Kim did need a couple of stitches, but I don't think the pain relief for that was anywhere near the levels of joy from having her newborn son on her chest while they put those in.

But he's here, all 4.74 kg of him. the induction process started last Sunday, which meant that having the waters broken at about 10:00PM Friday night felt like an age. Building up through early labour was slow and very painful and, I suppose laborious is an appropriate word, but the delivery process itself, the whole "push" thing, was amazingly fast - the midwives were surprised that the head was there so quickly.

Kim's a little sore, but remarkably nowhere near as badly than when she was butchered having Lily, who weighed a good 2 pounds less.

The housework all got done in plenty of time. The mother-in-law has a week with us to be of some use and play with her new grandson. Our daughter is thrilled. even the dog is protective. It couldn't really have been a better end to the start of the next phase in our lives.
So please boost a toot to little Bertie Randall. May his life be full of all of the joys the world has to offer.

Baby Bertie has a light complexion and very short, fine hair on his head. his eyes are open, and he's got slightly furrowed brows in this image. with his right hand up near his face, with fingers gently curled.

Wednesday.
As we hit a hundred hours of Bertie, it's overwhelming to think about how few of the hours I have spent asleep.
No complaints, of course, and i'm so grateful for the hundreds of well-wishes from friends, colleagues and acquaintances that have come pouring in. A good number of those were here, so thank you, followers.

Apart from a small issue latching to feed, Bertie's postnatal weight loss is within the normal range and he's certainly doing plenty of lung and bowel work! It's surprisingly easy to just see the hours slip bye with a baby in your arms. Cuteness factor is totally off-the-scale.

It's been a whirlwind of well-wishers, midwives, health visitors, registrars and whatnot: the flood has yet to abate; we have more people to see and boxes to tick for the remainder of this week and well into next.

He's got a birth certificate now though, an NHS number, and we met one of his birth-mates today, a girl born the same day in the same hospital happened to be being registered at the same time. Looking forward to spotting little Alma in the future, and maybe we'll find out if they went for Rose as a middle name sometime. I quite like Alma Rose. She was about half his birth weight; but I'm sure she won't hold it against him!

I remain uncertain on the ethics of using generative AI, and I know I've posted some hard-line anti-genAI takes here and elsewhere. But if one is interested in locally runnable models, IBM Granite 4.0 is worth a look IMO. ibm.com/new/announcements/ibm-… It uses something other than the typical transformer architecture, allowing for much longer contexts with much less RAM usage. Also interested in what they mean by "ethically acquired" data. cc @simon
