Dnes jsem se dozvěděl, že v minulém roce nám EU směrnicí 2024/1438 vrátila "jahodovou marmeládu":

> Členské státy však mohou s ohledem na výrazy běžně používané spotřebiteli povolit, aby se na jejich území používal výraz ‚marmeláda‘ pro název výrobku ‚džem‘, s výjimkou džemu z citrusových plodů.

A MÉDIA O TOM MLČÍ! 😀

Friend: How many domains do you have registered?
Me: Don't ask.
Friend: Come on. What's the big secret between friends?
Me: Hmm, maybe 100. IDK.
Friend: Oh, I see. And what do you do with them? Do you have apps or websites?
Me: Oh yeah, I have 4 websites and 2 apps.
Friend: You must be making lots of money, then? Are you loaded?
Me: Zero paying users. It's the cost of being an 'idea person' & mu way of dealing unresolved issues in my life.
Friend: Yeah, right.
Me: 😭😭😭

Okay, super weird, unanticipated episode in which, as a Blind person, I sift through old photos using AI, and post some on social media because I can't sleep. This gem is from a visit to Rome we took around 10 years ago. Luckily we were with sighted friends because the vending machine was stuck on the outside of a wall directly onto the sidewalk at a height where our canes would have gone right under it. Gosh, the things you can buy in vending machines, I had no idea!
AI, A man is using a large vending machine with a bright, circular display that has the Durex brand visible on it. The vending machine is on the side of a street or closed shop. The man is holding a white cane, and a woman standing behind him is also holding a white cane, indicating they may be visually impaired. The scene is dimly lit, with the vending machine illuminated in contrast to the dark surroundings.

V roce 2018, to je ta první fotka, jsem navštěvovala na University of Washington v Seattlu kurz African Literatures. Moje dosavadní čtenářská zkušenost s africkými autory nebyla rozsáhlá, chtěla jsem se něco dozvědět. Tohle jsem říkala, když se nás ptali, co si od kurzu slibujeme, a pak že doma studuju překladatelství a že kdybych tady objevila něco zajímavýho, třeba se mi to jednou podaří zprostředkovat českým čtenářům. Jakože někdy v daleké budoucnosti. Mokrej sen.

Zajímavýho jsem toho teda objevila spoustu: Chimamandu Ngozi Adichie (samozřejmě), Tayeba Saliha, Ferdinanda Oyona a taky NoViolet Bulawayo, zimbabwskou spisovatelku, jejíž styl mi byl milej, jen co jsem rozečetla její debut. We Need New Names je román o emigraci a vykořenění, ale i o vystřízlivění z představ o domovině. Jazyk je tam skoro postava, hutná síla hýbající s osudy imigrantů, kteří v angličtině zaujímají nejrůznější strategie sebevyjádření ve snaze nějak přežít. NoViolet má dar imitace a ironie, takže kromě toho, že se jí daří ilustrovat takový to bolestný rozplývání člověka, co se postupně vzdává svých autentických výrazových prostředků, je to zároveň fakt sranda číst.

V roce 2022 vydala NoViolet svůj další román, Glory, a já šla hned po něm. Na rozdíl od její první knihy je o návratech: na celospolečenské úrovni o cyklických návratech Zimbabwe do stále stejných politických pořádků, na osobní úrovni o návratu jedné ženy domů, k mámě, a o konfrontaci s genocidou poznamenanou minulostí její rodiny. NoViolet celou problematiku nahlíží orwellovskou, farmazvířáckou optikou, a dojem absurdity dotahuje zase jazykem, protože to prostě umí. Mluvící jména, slovní hříčky, parodie, idiolekty, veršovánky. Překladatelská žeň.

Tak jsem ji přeložila. Ti, kdo se doopravdy vyznají, vědí, že vyšla před pár týdny v Odeonu a mám z ní hroznou radost. Čtěte, máte-li náladu na soudružská jednání, náboženská vytržení, jedno či dvě hoře oře a návrat Destiny k sobě samé. Měli byste se smát a měli byste brečet a všichni bychom si pak měli někde sednout a probrat to, protože o čem by to pak asi jinak celý bylo.

Děkuju Jindřichu Jůzlovi za vstřícnost, Anežce Dudkové za přepečlivou, bystrou a vtipnou redakci jako vždycky a Danulce za všechny chvíle, kdy mě nechala na Slavných časech pracovat! ❤️

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println!(), panic!(), format!(), write!(), log::info!(), and so on. (That is, everything based on format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

'Hello world' compiles 3% faster and a few bigger projects like Ripgrep and Cargo compile 1.5% to 2% faster. And those binaries are roughly 2% smaller. 🎊

This change will be available in Rust Nightly tomorrow, and should ship as part of Rust 1.93.0 in January.

Übrigens, wenn ich einen Kompetenzaufbau fordere, dann meine ich damit sowas wie einen Zwang. Einen Zwang zur Kompetenz. Einen Zwang zu, damit automatisch einhergehenden, qualitativ guten Ergebnissen.

Die „Ich will das aber nicht weil ich dadurch in meiner Freiheit eingeschränkt werde. Ich — als alter weißer cis-Mann“-Zeiten sind vorbei.

Und ja, das gehört beides zu ein und demselben Statement.

if you are not happy on your FIPS system with modern #curl treatment of TLSv1.3, why not simply refrain from using curl?

Or take an older version and maintain it yourself.💁🏻‍♂️

openssl: respect system crypto policy for TLS max version by jacekmigacz · Pull Request #19342 · curl/curl

When no explicit --tls-max option is provided, curl should respect OpenSSL's system-wide crypto policy configuration instead of overriding it. Previously, curl called SSL_CTX_set_max_proto_vers...

10 Jahre ist der islamistische Terrorangriff auf das bataclan her, und damals hätte ich nicht gedacht, daß ein paar Jahre später (große) Teile der Musik-Szene und viel zu viele irgendwie Linke so eine Scheiße als "legitimen Widerstand" ansehen und bejubeln.
Und ja, es ist völlig egal, welche Spielart des Islamismus ihr da feiert, ob Daesh, Al-Qaida, Hamas oder wie auch immer sie sich sonst noch nennen.

'You hear it over and over: “I had <a big number> of followers on Twitter and now I have <a less-big number> on Mastodon, but I get so much more conversation and interaction when I post here.”'

This is so true. I have less than half the followers here than I did on Twit and the interactions are 100x better.

It's better for my mental health too; I posted shit and nobody cared. I thought it was me. But y'all care at least a little bit!

It is so funny when people claim Linux authority by saying, “I’ve been using Linux since the 2000s…”

Sit down. My first distro was Slackware on a 200Mhz Pentium MMX. And back then, window managers were the hotness, not desktop environments. Back in my day, we fiddled with Xeyes in IceWM—and we liked it.

But none of that vintage cred actually matters, because Linux never wins people over with nostalgia. It wins people over when it finally does the thing they care about.

I abandoned Linux in the early 2010s for the same reason most people did: it didn’t have the apps or the games I needed. The OS was fine. The software ecosystem wasn’t.

What brought me back? Gaming. Not philosophy, not ideology, not a love of fiddling with config files.

Gaming forced Linux to solve real, modern problems—drivers, performance, Vulkan, translation layers, graphics pipelines. And once those problems got solved, the benefits spilled into everything else: creative apps, productivity apps, niche tools, Windows compatibility layers that actually work.

This is what people still don’t get: regular users don’t care about Wayland vs Xorg, package formats, compositor drama, or kernel minutiae. They care about whether the apps they need will run with minimal friction.

An operating system succeeds when it disappears into the background and lets people use their software. For the first time, Linux is genuinely doing that—and that’s why the momentum is finally real.

Wednesday's episode of the @doubletap podcast featured an excellent interview with @glenrgordon58 following Glen's resignation from Vispero. This brought back so many good memories! I first met Glen at the very first European dealer workshop in the Black Forest in Germany in July 1996. We connected immediately over the fact that we're both computer nerds. I had got my first JAWS licence four months earlier and was already heads down into the scripting language, which back then was still called macro language. It was a fantastic couple of days, in which I volunteered to head up the macro beginner group and helped them create their first macros in JAWS. Later, this got me my job at the European distributor, which started an eleven year tenure at Freedom Scientific and me influencing Braille support in JAWS, helping design the Focus line of Braille displys, and others. One anecdote which I also still remember was the time in March of 1999 when Eloquence suddenly stopped working all across Europe for JAWS users, including me. That led to me sending an email to Glen on a Sunday morning, which I uusually would not do. Debugging the problem led to a hot fix that Glen sent me later that day and which I then distributed via email to the dealer network the next day. If you're interested, the problem had to do with Europe and the U.S. moving to daylight savings at different times, Europe last Sunday in March, and the U.S. and Canada, back then, on the first Sunday in April. BUT most collaborations Glen and I had were much more fun than that. Anyway, I encourage you to listen to this episode of Doubletap, and while you're at it, subscribe to the podcast if you haven't already. It's fun, entertaining, informative, and quite often makes me smile or nod in agreement. Thanks to Shaun and Steven and Glen for this excellent interview!

Eggs now in different baskets.

When the dust settles over #chatcontrol and the EU commission's desire to drive a #digitalomnibus through our basic human rights, and it is clear that Tuta can still offer properly private email services then I will start subscribing.

I don't see much point in me getting used to a service if it ceases to be free of state interference in a couple of years time.

In the meantime, keep up the good work!

I will do my best to help defeat both EU proposals.

🇩🇪Gestern verweigerten EU-Regierungen Änderungen an Massen-#Chatkontrolle & anonymitätsvernichtenden Alterschecks. EU-Botschafter sollen in den nächsten Tagen entscheiden.
ℹ️patrick-breyer.de/beitraege/ch…

Unser Protest ist zu leise. Hilf mit, das zu ändern: fightchatcontrol.de

Digitale Grafik mit dem Titel „Fight Chat Control“. Sie berichtet, dass die Arbeitsgruppe „Law Enforcement Working Party“ einen überarbeiteten dänischen Kompromiss zur Chatkontrolle angenommen hat, der verpflichtendes Scannen von Nachrichten unter dem Begriff „Risikominderung“ wieder einführt – auch bei Ende-zu-Ende-verschlüsselten Inhalten. Artikel 4 verbietet zudem anonyme Kommunikation, da alle Nutzer ihr Alter verifizieren müssen, was Whistleblower, Journalisten, Aktivisten und Hilfesuchende gefährdet. Artikel 6 sieht einen „digitalen Hausarrest“ für Minderjährige vor, die Apps wie WhatsApp, Instagram oder Roblox nicht mehr installieren dürften. Der Gesetzentwurf geht nun an die Botschafterrunde (Coreper) und später in Trilogverhandlungen mit dem EU-Parlament. Die Grafik ruft zur lauten öffentlichen Gegenwehr auf. Datum: 12. November.

🇪🇺Yesterday, EU gov'ts rejected changes to mandatory backdoor #ChatControl & anonymity-destroying age checks. EU ambassadors are set to approve this soon.
ℹ️patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/cha…

📢Our protest isn't loud enough yet. Help change that: fightchatcontrol.eu

Digital flyer titled “Fight Chat Control,” warning about a proposed EU law affecting digital privacy. It announces that the Law Enforcement Working Party has approved a revised Danish compromise that reintroduces mandatory scanning of private messages under the term “risk mitigation,” including end-to-end encrypted content. Article 4 also bans anonymous communication by requiring age verification for all users, threatening the safety of whistleblowers, journalists, activists, and vulnerable individuals. Article 6 imposes restrictions on minors, preventing them from installing apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Roblox due to grooming risks—described as “digital house arrest.” The legislation now moves to Coreper for approval. If passed, the Council and Commission will jointly enforce mass surveillance across all 450 million EU citizens. The flyer urges public resistance and louder protest against the erosion of privacy and freedom. Dated November 12.
