Does anyone know what's up with this? For a few days now, every time I click on a link to a YouTube video, YT has already seeked to somewhere in the middle. If I hit Play, it starts there instead of the beginning.
in reply to Federico Mena Quintero

youtube remembers your timestamp in the video (if the video is over a certain length, I think). useful if you actually were watching it and paused (I rely on that part semi-regularly); less useful if you didn’t actually watch it 🙄
in reply to Lucas Werkmeister

@LucasWerkmeister ... remember if I had actually watched a video? With my ADHD? These people ask too much of me 😝


Whenever people ask "why can't Black people in America create vibrant commuities?" the answer is: they did. Multiple times. Those communities were just systematically wiped out by white supremacists. In the late 19th - early 20th century by racist mobs with the support of the Democrats. In the post-WWII era by racist urban planners with the support of the Republicans.

Hlavně i pro ty rodiče to musí být hrozný.
Místo svatby, bude pohřeb pro oba syny. No strašný, to si člověk ani nedokáže představit.

Souhlasím .... nic horšího pro rodiče asi není že přežijí své děti


I'm writing a talk for an internal event about gracefully sunsetting your #opensource work.

If you have ever yeeted a project into the sun, ghosted anything you've built online, or been toasted for your splendid transition of a technical challenge to a new solution, I'd love to hear from you.

What have you learned about successfully ending work that you would want me to share (with accreditation)?

in reply to Federico Mena Quintero

Finally, be gracious to yourself. Sometimes someone else picks up the project even though you had given up on it, and does a good job - you may even become a happy user or just be able to accept that it was not a lost cause after all (without any obligation on your part to return to it).
in reply to Federico Mena Quintero

I think @brainwane will have a lot more to say about this, about planned sunsetting / transfer of maintainership.


The Matrix Conference selling out, unauthenticated media freeze looming, clients and bots updates. That and more happened This Week in Matrix!

FWIW, you didn't put alt text on that image. I know it's almost certain that anyone who needs alt text on the image can't play this game. But I'm mildly curious about what game it is.


Die Bundesregierung will KI-Systeme und biometrische Internetsuche für die Polizei. Für den Deutschen Anwaltverein geht das weit über das hinaus, was in der „analogen Welt“ zulässig wäre.

Social Security Administration Announces New Efforts to Simplify SSI Applications

The SSA announced a large step in a multi-year effort to simplify processes for people who are applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) by starting to offer an online, streamlined application for some applicants starting in December. SSI provides monthly payments to people with disabilities and older adults who have little or no income and resources.

@Archos :distros_arch: :matrix: Dá se v Mastodonu nastavit, aby lidi viděli jen původní posty, ale ignorovaly reakce? Bo to je docela běžný jev, že ačkoli někdo napíše reakci, další bambilion se ptá, ačkoli v reakci už je odpověď?
Mě chodí do Hubzilly automaticky všechno, takže to vidím. A pak nechápavě kroutím hlavou, proč se zase ptají, když už tam odpověď je...

Ono asi záleží hodně na aplikaci v mobilu. Já se snažím všechny odpovědi nastavovat jako neveřejné.

Putting out the call again: does any #mastoadmin know of a managed hosting solution for Mastodon that supports Mastodon forks?

OK, you want to know how to change a dropdown chip in Google Docs? I just randomly figured out.
1. Highlight the dropdown chip with your cursor. It should only take up one space.
2. Do a shift+right arrow to select the dropdown chip.
3. Now, Google will tell you the options and you can arrow down to change it.


Zdradzę Wam pewną tajemnicę, tak nawiązując do mojego poprzedniego wpisu na temat Gmaila.

↳ To, że ktoś na coś nie narzeka, nie oznacza, że u niego jest lepiej 😃

Niektórzy nie mierzą dostarczalności newslettera (brak świadomości problemu), a inni narzekają, ale nie dzielą się tym problemem.

[Podobnie działa to w innych dziedzinach życia 🤫]

in reply to Jakub 'unknow' Mrugalski

Z ciekawości, wiesz może, jak to jest gdy newsletter wysyła ci duży provider a nie twoja własna infrastruktura? Coś typu Substack, Ghost, Buttondown i inne usługi typu SaaS. Też trzeba się tym martwić?
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki problem jest ten sam, bo i tak podpadasz pod wyszukiwanie słów kluczowych w gmailu.

Ja też używam 'dużego providera'.
Moje maile wysyła AWS SES.

in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki dostarczalnosc to nie taka prosta sprawa. Nawet ci duży mogą mieć problem z dostarczaniem, ale nie zawsze i nie dla wszystkich i nie do wszystkich.

Na pewno mają lepiej rozgrzane adresy IP, ale jak nie masz płatnego konta, to często używają dla darmowych mniej lubianych IPkow.
Z drugiej strony, mimo że płacisz to nie znaczy, że Twój e-mail dojdzie do adresata.

2 tipy na #RSS / #AtomFeed čtečku.
1️⃣ Feeder
2️⃣ CapyReader
Oba programy jsou v aktivním vývoji, každý týden se může objevit nová funkce, aktuálně nevím, který je lepší. Feeder neumí skrolovat nahoru na nejnovější článek, CapyReader neumí upozornit na nové články určitého zdroje.

Jakou čtečku používáte vy? Dejte lajk a odběr a podpořte mě na Patreonu a HeroHero 😉🤦😄

I keep meaning to write about what management problems we are actually trying to solve and why misnomers like "full-stack" keep leading us astray. There is a genuine problem here. But trying to ask every individual engineer to stretch across the entirety of today's complex stacks is just not a viable solution. Or even a reasonable one.

I think we lionize the solo developer who can bring a complete software product from concept to release all by themself. I've done that, multiple times, but I'm also aware that in the areas where I don't have expertise, the quality of my work wasn't great, just good enough and possibly not even that.


Body: "I need the bathroom."
Me: "Okay, I'll get up in just a couple minutes an go."
(*insert image of Quin flying through 5 different Linux screens doing all sorts of things for the next 45 minutes*)
Body: "Um, okay. Bro. I really, really need to take care of this now."
Me: "Okay, fine. I'll just sit here for a couple more minutes and finish this."
And...I didn't get up until my body made it very clear that I had no choice in the matter. I do this with eating too, and you'd think I'd learn not to do this to myself after a while.

And then when you really, really need to go, you hear the bathroom door snapping shut and then realize that somebody just went in to take a long shover.


i think anybody building things to improve safety in one social network should try others that are building safety features so i’m gonna try bsky soon.

i know i know calm down im not leaving lol. i just might be using POSSE more.

in reply to Seirdy

oh and trying another network to understand it better has to be good-faith/serious so i won’t just be sightseeing. i’ll be syndicating my top-level posts to both but organically interacting, following, etc. from there just like i do here.

but i don’t expect to spend more time on bsky than here.

I'm probably going to regret this but.. why are there suddenly a bunch of people posting about Rust in Linux?
in reply to khm

[..] I am no visionary but if Linux doesn't internalize this, I'm afraid some other kernel will do to it what it did to Unix.


That.. sounds like it would have been a better goal from the start?

in reply to Dave Mac Farlane

I think people were open to iterate so that you can capitalize on existing stuff.

Asahi Linux did develop the graphics driver for Mac in Rust. A big chunk of code only exposed through the API. And this alone met resistance.



Papouščí nářek a další pravdivá vyprávění o pletichaření, inteligenci a vynalézavosti zvířat

Podcast: DOBRODRUŽSTVÍ POZNÁVÁNÍ

Autor Eugene Linden na základě řady věrohodných vyprávění a svých bohatých zkušeností analyzuje různé „nadstandardní“ typy chování zvířat. Vybírá si tak malou, ale o to zajímavější část etologie: do jaké míry jsou různá zvířata schopna vlastního přemýšlení a uvědomění si sebe sama. Všímá si rovněž těch schopností, které jsou většinou uváděny jako čistě lidské, např. smyslu pro humor, znalosti hodnoty peněz, přátelství, vděku, lásky nebo naopak vypočítavosti, pomsty, zrady či smutku. Poutavě a humorně líčené krátké příběhy ze zoologických zahrad připomínají populární knihy Geralda Durrella.
