Krásný, takového ministra zahraničí bude Čechům svět závidět

„Popálit cikáně je polehčující okolnost, Obama je negr.“ Odhalujeme smazaný svět Filipa Turka

Možný budoucí ministr zahraničí Filip Turek na Facebooku opakovaně zveřejňoval otevřeně rasistické, sexistické či homofobní výroky a také četné narážky na Hitlera a Mussoliniho.

So I have one bike, an electric assist bike, and as I've shared here, I'm saving up for a #Rivendell next spring (non-electric, regular bike).

Hubby has teased me this is too many bikes, and I've said, "Dude, you have no idea how bike people get, be grateful I'm only thinking of two," and it led to us guesstimating how many people have more than one bike. I said over 30%, he thinks 1-2%.

How many bikes do you have? Not in your household, but for you personally to ride/maintain?

Here’s an interesting tech tip, that literally just came to me this morning as I was playing with Gemini. how to add the current date to your chat, to help keep things organized.
Prompt the model to automatically add the current date to the top of every new chat session. This small tweak makes referencing past discussions much more efficient. No complex settings are needed, just a straightforward instruction. As an example, I told Gemini to remember to put the date as the first line in every chat. Now, when I prompt it for something, it will automatically place today’s date in the very first line, allowing me to truly keep track of when I last updated a chat. Any subsequent prompts in the conversation, are not prefix with today’s date. Only the very first line. even better, you only have to tell it to remember one time. I’m sure you could do this with ChatGPT as well. #AI, #Gemini

Dawn Farrell, the head of the federal government’s Major Projects Office, believes the Trans Mountain oil pipeline helps fight climate change.

Speaking Thursday at the House of Commons environment committee, the former CEO of Trans Mountain who was tapped by Prime Minister Mark Carney to shepherd his major projects agenda, was asked by Bloc Québécois environment critic Patrick Bonin if she believed the pipeline contributes to the fight against climate change.

“The answer is yes,” Farrell said. “Most of the oil is cracked to make naphtha which goes into petrochemicals, which goes into making electric cars, to electrify the grid in Asia.”

Farrell, who told the committee she earns about $700,000 per year in her role at the Major Projects Office, did not offer any estimate for how many emissions she believes are avoided by using oil to help produce electric vehicles.

According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, by facilitating more oil exports, the Trans Mountain expansion project is expected to add 84 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year when taking into account both the emissions from producing and consuming the oil.

“Trans Mountain is a financial drain and an environmental disaster, and it's not reassuring to know that the CEO who finalized the project now heads the Major Projects Office,” Bonin said in a statement.

Software complexity is so out of control. Mobile devices are running type 1 hypervisors now. github.com/quic/gunyah-hypervi… (Learned about this via social.treehouse.systems/@cas/… - about the boot chain for a new MNT Reform processor module based on a Qualcomm SoC; to be clear, MNT is doing good work.) In other words, our most popular and mature operating systems are so big and so insecure that we have to run them on top of another OS. Just now I wish Tanenbaum had won rather than Torvalds.

@matt we are booting with U-Boot. It's (roughly) ROM -> xbl_sec (el3) -> sbl1 (uart & hw init) -> tz -> hypervisor (gunyah) -> u-boot

everything before u-boot is proprietary, we are hoping to be able to optionally disable hyp and get EL2 for KVM but work will be needed (probably from the community) to get the DSPs to work in that case so we have audio

I hadn't heard about the MNT Reform laptops before reading this but after looking into them they are extremely interesting. One of the most interesting things about them is that all three laptops they sell allow you to swap out the processor and use the same module, and they've made modules with ARM64 processors from different manufacturers and a Risc-V one as well. It would be really cool if someone made a device with no screen and a Braille keyboard (and possibly a display), built around either these modules or the Reform Pocket motherboard, since that way you could upgrade the CPU and RAM without having to design a new device. If you get around to designing your BT Speak competitor around the RK3588 maybe you should do something like this. I wonder how long it will take before the MNT Reform modules become competitive with high-end Intel/AMD processors in performance, or with Apple Silicon, since ARM processors have been becoming more powerful including those available to build custom boards around.

speaking of that... the maintainer for the OpenSSL package wouldn't happen to be among them? We'd love to hear from them, and IIRC they were not in the room. See mastodon.social/@RezzaBuh/1153…

You want to write software that indues the principles of liberation but yourself can't stand for the liberation of all marginalised peoples? What are you doing with your life??? How do you even reconcile that with yourself?
That's not software freedom in the sense of building a movement for the benefit of the world we share, that's having a hobby and humble bragging that you have the spare time and education to do so freely

Everyone: Rust has great error handling!
Also everyone: *uses anyhow or thiserror whenever a project gets greater than like 100 lines*.
To be clear, I'm not shitting on anyhow or thiserror, they both work great, as does tokio. But this pattern of not providing basic building blocks in the standard library and letting crates do it has some pros and cons. Pros because you can iterate quickly and the standard library stays small, cons because, well, supply chain attacks can now happen simply because you want to make Result more sane or use async.

We took for granted that at least our tech bubble would understand what the Google Decree means for Android, #FLOSS and freedom. Unfortunately we never saw the uproar we were expecting and people just shrugged it off taking for granted that "nothing changes".

@marcprux great #FDroid post brought the issue into the light, waking up developers, users, media and (we hope) concerned authorities to the immense danger the newly proposed gatekeeping controls Google wants to add.
