W Polsce funkcjonuje sobie taki dokument zwany kartฤ… EKUZ. Z racji, ลผe to zdecydowanie nie jest jedyna karta, jakฤ… wiฤ™kszoล›ฤ‡ osรณb ma w portfelu, a wszystkie (zgodne z ISO 7810) karty wyglฤ…dajฤ… w dotyku prawie tak samo, moลผna poprosiฤ‡, aby na karcie umieszczono etykietkฤ™ w brajlu, na co istnieje oficjalna procedura. W przeciwieล„stwie do niektรณrych innych dokumentรณw, np. wspomnianego tutaj Dowodu, etykietka taka nie jest integralnฤ… czฤ™ล›ciฤ… karty, jest to po prostu solidnie naklejona przez urzฤ™dnika foliowa naklejka.

I tutaj zaczyna siฤ™ szkopuล‚. Typรณw kart jest kilka. Ten najpopularniejszy, tj. turystyczny, moลผna bez problemu wyrobiฤ‡ przez internet, istnieje do tego dedykowana usล‚uga EPUAP i formularz w ichniejszym XML-owym standardzie, tj. wypeล‚niany on-line bezpoล›rednio na stronie, nie staropolskฤ… metodฤ… drukuj-podpisz-skanuj (Polacy do za niฤ… Nobla dostaฤ‡ powinni).

Gdzie jest problem? Procedura mรณwi, ลผe w celu uzyskania brajlowskiej etykiety, naleลผy umieล›ciฤ‡ odpowiedniฤ… adnotacjฤ™ na wniosku. Coล› takiego moลผna zrobiฤ‡ na marginesie dokumentu papierowego, ale struktura XML takiej adnotacji nie przewiduje. Mamy wobec tego wybรณr, czy wniosek skล‚adamy sami, ale bez etykiety brajlowskiej, czy dziaล‚amy metodฤ… z osobฤ… widzฤ…cฤ… i dล‚ugopisowym wypeล‚nianiem fizycznego wydruku (bo przecieลผ o pliku w standardzie PDF Forms to w tym kraju moลผna zapomnieฤ‡), i wtedy etykietฤ™ dostajemy.

I jeszcze jedna rzecz, ktรณrฤ… warto mieฤ‡ na uwadze. O ile w przypadku Epuap, zaล‚oลผenie skrzynki podawczej nie niosล‚o za sobฤ… konsekwencji prawnych poza faktem, ลผe korespondencja zwiฤ…zana ze sprawami skล‚adanymi przez ten wล‚aล›nie system docieraล‚a do nas elektronicznie, w przypadku e-dorฤ™czeล„ jest inaczej. Jeล›li skrzynkฤ™ do E-dorฤ™czeล„ posiadamy, wiele instytucji bฤ™dzie kontaktowaฤ‡ siฤ™ z nami w ten wล‚aล›nie sposรณb, przy czym nadal dziaล‚a zasada, ลผe przesyล‚ka 2 razy awizowana (tutaj awizo to powiadomienie email) jest uznana za dorฤ™czonฤ… po 14 dniach od pierwszej prรณby jej dostarczenia.

Innymi sล‚owy, jeล›li skrzynkฤ™ do e-dorฤ™czeล„ mamy, w naszym obowiฤ…zku jest sprawdzanie adresu email z niฤ… powiฤ…zanego.

9 HOURS at THE OFFICE TODAY: Logging into my private Desktop I had to think about my 6 digit numeric PIN because I was already typing the work Laptops password. I'll leave up to you if that's good or bad. And my fingers start to get used to that ugly office keyboard. I should get a nice mechanical board there as well. Just not willing to spend the money.

Eww, someone said to me that x ai thingy cloned their voice. Imagine the scare. Yikes! I use it to mostly help me out, google's AI though. I am too lazy to do math sometimes, especially when there are headaches involved, so giving it a prompt is better for my sanity than just making a huge multiplication. I am not amath person, I like music and languages. I make it keep track of things sometimes, or create random little things. I don't use the stupid X though, I used it when it was Twitter, and long before it was bought I deleted it because I joined fedi.

Yesterday, for the first time ever, I did have a positive experience with an AI based customer service chatbot. For a few months, my Oura ring 4 has showed a declining battery life, dropping from the promised 6 7 days to just 24 hours. While I can tolerate charging my watch every two days, pulling a smart ring off my finger and charging it up every morning is not what I call good user experience. SO I pulled up the help chat feature in the app last night when I went to bed and saw the notification, that my sleep tracking ring battery is about to die. groaned, because it said its an AI" bot and its very very helpful and good and could I please tell it everything whats wrong." So I did. "My gen 4 ring which I bought in march 2025 battery dies within 24 hours, which is way less than the promised 7 days", was my message. The bot then told me that to verify my identity, it had sent me a confirmation email with a link to klick. After the klick, I returned to the app, where the bot had pulled up my order, and wanted to know if its the problematic ring. A preset "yes" button surfaced a new question, confirming my address, which was already prefilled, from my last order. Another tap on the "Yes" preset. "I've estabilshed your replacement, and you should be getting your confirmation soon," the bot said, and wanted to know, is there anything else worth fixing in my life. The whole interaction took maximum 3 minutes and by this morning, I already have received an email with tracking number and shipment info. I don't even need to return the broken ring. So, either they trust their AI bot a lot, have a very good service, or more likely have enough trouble with the ring that its cheaper to replace them than escalate the cases to humans, nevertheless, I was impressed.

Okay y'all, I'm looking into getting smart glasses with this coming paycheck. I don't want to spend more than $450 or so on it. So, what's good in the middle of January 2026? Lol I say that because it'll probably change tomorrow or next week or next month.

Anyway any advice would be great! Boosts okay.

@lerven Same! I have the Echovisions and they're making lots of rapid updates at the moment but the hardware is a bit disappointing and I don't think they're going to be able to keep up as far as that goes, especially when Google raises the bar with their new hardware. The glasses plastic feels cheap and the camera doesn't do well with small print, (big downside,) or even slightly poorly lit areas. They say it's a software issue and I'm no camera expert, but I'm beginning to not fully believe that.

Eurรณpsky parlament dลˆa 16. decembra 2025 prijal legislatรญvne uznesenie o nรกvrhu rozhodnutia Eurรณpskeho parlamentu a rady o poskytnutรญ makrofinanฤnej pomoci Jordรกnskemu krรกฤพovstvu.

Una reflexiรณn muy interesante: el ยซcรณdigo ptolemaicoยป es, como el viejo sistema geocรฉntrico de Ptolomeo, software basado en un modelo del problema a resolver incorrecto que solo se acerca a un funcionamiento adecuado mediante sucesivos parches. La generaciรณn de cรณdigo asistida por IA va a traernos muchos de estos ยซregalosยป.


I hereby coin the term "Ptolemaic Code" to refer to software that appears functional but is based on a fundamentally incorrect model of the problem domain. As more code is generated by AI, the prevalence of such code is likely to increase.

I just got falsely flagged as a bot while trying to use the DB train connection lookup service (from first use on, on a residential connection, both in Firefox during multiple attempts, then also in Chromium, only the third attempt in an Epiphany browser got through). People will be very amused if that happens to them on a journey while frantically trying to figure out alternative connections during one of the usual DB situations. โ”(ใ‚ท)โ”Œ

(Going by what I'm reading from sysadmins these days, I guess this is another case/consequence of big tech AI scrapers DDOSing the web to death.)

You may also find this of interest, if you ever decide to get the boys the Nintendo Switch online plan, as these are the list of games provided by the service if you download the free emulators from the Nintendo EShop.
I spent nearly two hours on a call with a fantastic Aira agent who was kind enough to type out these lists for me in text form, then I had an AI turn them into tables for easier viewing.

Mantis Q40 question: when using the onboard applications, I can switch between QWERTY and #braille input by pressing F12. Is there a way to achieve the same thing while connected to an external device in terminal mode?

In other words: I want to use the FDS and JKL keys as simulated Perkins-style input while connected to NVDA, VoiceOver, etc. without using any software-based simulation features built into the #screenReader itself.

On January 6th my idea paper got accepted for the Web 2026 conference. Now i'm basically registering my first conference entry, booking flights from and to Valencia and a place to stay for a week. I'm afraid of flying and am generally overwhelmed with all the things that need to be done. I also have to pay everything first before getting it paid back afterwards, but man, it isn't exactly cheap either. Kinda locked in decision paralysis right now, not gonna lie.

Alright. It's 4 in the morning, 3 hours before work, what am I doing?
Bug reports came through that SoftVoice will not read Mastodon posts. Turns out we need to do the character splitting in the wrapper.
Re-download eurpod.com/softvoice-2025.nvdaโ€ฆ. Alternatively, if you have a cached copy, use eurpod.com/softvoice-2025-v07.โ€ฆ for a clean one.
This copy fixes it so we do split into 350-character chunks at the wrapper side. In my testing this reads all Mastodon posts to expectation now, as these can often throw the entire post's chunk onto the engine.

i am infinitely grateful for a tool that helped not just me but millions of people create a reliable common network (http mostly?) api clients.

maybe well before the time I started programming curl might have been the only library in the world that helped us use apis (as of now there are hundreds of network libraries that are stable and relatively widespread, but even still I use it almost everyday from the shell).
