Nestáva sa často, že by som bol kritickejší než tu Ivan, ktorý tento ďalší pokus (koľký už?) o špicľovací zákon rozobral na šróbiky.
Pre mňa je tam ešte jeden červený vykričník navyše (ktorý v článku možno iba tušiť):

Ak už raz budú mať možnosť takto špicľovať, bars aj pod "vznešenou", a možno spočiatku aj úprimnou (byť naivnou), snahou bojovať proti CSAM, čo im, !technicky!, zabráni začať hľadať čokoľvek iné? Protištátne reči, zakázané názory, protiústavné pohlavie...
Na Slovensku o tom už vieme svoje.

Some bubbles take longer to burst than others, and some are simply more in plain sight than others. The 2008 financial crisis was because of a scheme that had been going on for years and years — but mainly bankers and investors knew about it. However, even though it was a slow burner, the scheme was ultimately founded on hopes, wishes and fairy dust.

What makes a bubble is not how long it takes to burst, but its foundations. The focus should be on the consequences of it bursting.

Located in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, China,
it is one of only about 200 identified craters worldwide
and is very young in geological years.

Based on measurements of nearby soil erosion,
it likely formed during the early-to-mid Holocene
—our current geological epoch, which began at the end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago.

With a diameter of 900 meters, it is the largest known impact crater from this era
—far exceeding Russia's 300-meter Macha crater, previously the largest known Holocene impact structure

I definitely know that I live in a bubble by being here on Mastodon and following the people I follow, but nonetheless even with my friends that are not tech savvy or don’t care/know about Linux, all the recent megacorp tech announcements have been met with lukewarm reactions at best, skepticism, and sometimes disdain.
The AI fuelled emptiness we’re experiencing is affecting everyone, alongside the realization that even “good” companies don’t step it up and stand for what should be normal

Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.

No influyendo en la agilización o resolución de trámite o procedimiento administrativo sin justa causa y, en ningún caso, cuando ello comporte un privilegio en mi beneficio por el cargo público del que soy titular o mi entorno familiar y social inmediato o cuando suponga un menoscabo de los intereses de terceros.

Y vosotros, ¿qué tal?

Libervia CLI Tip 15:

When publishing a blog or other pubsub based feature, the item ID is often used in the URL when it is rendered for the web (e.g.; Libervia or Movim use something like `https://…/blog/<user>/<item_id>`).

It is then important to have a user-friendly item ID (e.g.; `title-of-my-publication-abc123`), which is usually done by the software from the title.

If you want to change it, you can use `li pubsub rename`.

Hey, did you know that you can join Matrix chatrooms using Movim and #matridge (a Slidge XMPP - Matrix bridge) ? 😮

You can then access your Matrix rooms (and soon Matrix servers 😚) and integrate them seamlessly in your Movim interface ✨

…and it seems that Movim is much faster than Element at accessing and displaying the content of Matrix chat rooms 🚀 Fun 😸

Checkout the Slidge project slidge.im/ !

You know like how they tell you that washing dishes with a dishwasher will save a lot of water but they don't mention that the heat and abrasion of the dishwasher causes anything plastic to start shedding a ton of microplastics into foods that contact them. And everything that isn't plastic is expensive. So you should already have a sink of soapy water anyway ...

Never have I ever read an article about Trump and Epstein that treats survivors of their sexual abuse and violence with more indifference. Crawley presents claims by Trump's team as fact and then brushes aside the revelations in the email dump as nothing significant, as though the girls they talk about trafficking are nothing to report. There was a lot in these files and they reveal more about how closely tied these two abusers were. Garbage reporting. Shame on you #CBC and #MikeCrawley

Anyone know how the new-ish Steam OS accessibility beta is going? Is it still beta or has it made it to stable yet? Is it actually using Orca underneath so you can use desktop mode?

I wonder what it would take to add TTS/screen reader controller shims to Proton, if they aren't there already? Can't imagine screen reader controller shims are, but TTS/SAPI? I assume there's some sort of bridge layer between the Linux and Windows API surfaces, but is that layer extensible so users could just, I don't know, install a ProtonPack(TM) or similar, add necessary TTS/screen reader API bridges to whatever it exposes to games, and have accessible games on an accessible Steam OS?

This post brought to you by the Steam Machine, and by me wanting to purge Windows 11 from my Steam Deck. That said, I haven't really looked at the specs yet, but if it's as solid as the Deck then I'm tempted.

As an American, treacle is not really common in our desserts and most people don't even know what it is. It's a strange word though, it has some unpleasant quality to it but it's hard to pin down.

Without knowing what it is, try to use it in a sentence:

"That gas station sushi gave me a treacle of diarrhea."

Feels right, doesn't it?
