Pátek, začíná mi pracovní týden 😪
A navíc mám dnes pozdější trasu, tak končím až ve 4 ráno. No, už se těším, nemůžu říct.

Naštěstí ještě 4 týdny a mám 12 dnů volno, bo si musím vybrat zbývající dovolenou.

Kdybyste někdo chtěli v listopadu do Anglie, můžete mi dělat společnost 😇

Visiting Taiwan made me sad about the state of English trains. I took a train from Hsinchu to Taipei, which is a little bit further than from Cambridge to London. It took just over half an hour, with multiple tops along the way, and cost £7 each way. There were three trains per hour (not quite in a uniform distribution, but close enough that I didn't really need to plan the train I'd take, I just turned up and got on the next one). A business class ticket would have cost £20 (though does limit you to a single train).

The Cambridge to London trains have less far to go, take at least 50% longer, and cost several times as much.

And governments keep wondering why they're having to spend so much maintaining motorways and no one takes the trains.

framework is now saying it's forbidden on their forum to call other people fascists or nazis -- in a thread in which many fascists and nazis dropped in to harass and dehumanize people -- because it "attack[s], demean[s], or intimidate[s] an individual or group"

My partner Sabi's hotel is two weeks late again. There was movement enough to cover week before last, but then it stopped. Car insurance comes out tomorrow too. I'm really worried.

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.

But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

Auch die Arbeit zum #Liebesbegriff bei #Augustin scheint ihr dabei geholfen zu haben.

Jedenfalls nahm ich das aus dem sehr sehenswerten #Film über Hannah #Arendt mit.

Re: Framework, but also extrapolating more generally? If your moderation policy, your community stewardship approach, your whole way of interacting with people isn't robust to literal Nazis trying to fuck with your shit, then it just does not work in 2025.

I don't care if you call it a CoC, the paradox of tolerance, or what, but you *need* a strategy for how to tell Nazis to fuck off.

So if you're a Microsoft Office subscriber and you just got a notice that the price went up.

Know that the price didn't really go up. What is happening is that they are now charging you for Copilot.

You can opt-out by cancelling your subscription. When you do, they will offer a Office365 "classic" option which is at the previous price and doesn't include Copilot.

Gave #Dino a try since Gajim was too heavy for this machine. I kind of like it, but for some reason I can't find a way to change the font size, which kind of sucks. I wonder if there are other modern desktop clients that are written in compiled languages.

Did you hear? The U.S. Secret Service is concerned about people impersonating President Trump, so whenever he needs to access sensitive information, they ask him three security questions. If he gets all of them wrong, they know it's really him.

This procedure is known as a "cretinal scan."

Someone else shared this but *sigh*

Framework really can't help themselves, can they?

I read every single post in this forum thread, oh yes, every single one, and a few folks had to be banned because they were bigots, but Framework really wants Nazis to know they are welcome for some reason.

community.frame.work/t/framewo…

Now some have tried to say that's a reasonable statement but I do not, and will not, agree. Nope.
