Dámy a páni, takto nejako vyzerá propagandistický zvratok - z našich daní a zbabelá zgerba nemá ani toľko chochmesu aby sa pod to riadne podpísala...

That old post about Halloween falling on Friday 13 for the first time in 666 years is making the rounds again lol. How is this even a thing, do people just share stuff without reading it first, or thinking?

I mean sure, it sounds cool, but completely impossible. October 31 can never be October 13. Also, Friday 13 pops up in October approximately once every 60 years if I remember correctly. While that's kind of rare, it's not anywhere near 666 years.

That is… extremely sad news for me. If you only knew how many times I pronounced your name when talking to blind people, including on air (I mean, on YouTube), you would be surprised, to say the least. Your podcast has always been a great source of news, discussions, thoughtful interviews, brilliant demonstrations. You taught me lots of things, although you don't know about it, Jonathan. I don't know how tactile you are, but since it's virtual, I permit myself to hug you and wish you all the best in your future endeavor. And if some day, one day you decide to relaunch a podcast… you know you'll have many devoted listeners, not only me of course, but I'll be among the first to hit that Subscribe button. Thank you for all your exceptional work. to me Jonathan Mosen means quality, brilliance, truthfullness, a steel will and a kind generous heart.
P.S. On a less serious note, it's also sad there won't be an episode 330 (country code 33 is France) and an episode 380 (country code of Ukraine is 380).

@menelion You'll have me in tears soon! That is a very special message to get. Thank you, and I'm pleased the podcasts have been of such help to you.


Cannondale SuperSix dostal po ujetí šesti a půl tisíce servis — kontrola, nové brzdové destičky a tak.

Prý se o něj skvěle starám, na řetěz nemuseli ani sáhnout, je vyčištěný a promazaný pomalu jako nový. Nájezd mě překvapuje, pohon pro Shimano bych musel dávno měnit (mám SRAM Force Flattop).

Takže mi to jede jako hrom a nadšení z tohohle kola mě neopouští, ba naopak! #bike

@archos Jinak jsem podle tvého vzoru během toho týdne pil Birell (pomelo + grep) a je to fakt dobrý a osvěžující! Lepší než pivo (které bych si mimo hospodu asi ani nekoupil), zvlášť v tomhle pařáku.
in reply to Pavel Kout

Jo na osvěžení je super. No a točený to je bomba :-))


Při dnešním švihu jsem došel k finálnímu přesvědčení, že většina majitelů elektrokol si měla — vzhledem ke způsobu používání/jízdy — koupit raději moped. Jejich slimáčí kadenci nelze nazývat šlapáním ani jako eufemismus (subjektivně působí směšně, až trapně). Howgh. #bike

My Wedding Stories is the worst sims pack in the history of sims packs. How do you release a paid pack with a more broken version of a feature you already shipped in the base game??


Halfway through this latest Radiant Others #klezmer #podcast episode interviewing Zisl Slepovitch & Stephen Naron about their work selecting, arranging, performing and recording music and poems found in the #holocaust survivor and witness testimony at the Fortunoff Video Archive. I have one of the CDs in this series but didn't know all this about how they came to exist. Often these songs were collectively composed in WWII labour camps and recalled by a single survivor.

They can be alright, but I usually prefer to listen to studio recordings as recordings, and to live music when I'm there myself.


One thing I initially found confusing with @element / @matrix: How one would share and join a channel. The way you get bounced between instances for that. And in a way for @Mastodon, too.

People describe these services as "just like email". But I think the one thing that is missing for that would be a proper #URI scheme and integration in browsers for things you can join or follow in these federated networks. Email has its established "mailto:foo@example.com" for instance.

#Matrix #Mastodon

in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation

oh yaiy, awesome, exactly! Didn't know that existed already and that seems to make a lot of sense. So I guess the URI scheme is supposed to replace the matrix.to/ scheme eventually, once enough browsers/applications support it?

A huge update is scheduled for #AccessibleApple either today or tomorrow. I have finally finished working on an app directoryt (more or less) and we'll see whether automatic import of app metadate from the AppStore will work. I still see a way for #AccessibleApple to grow.


Excellent new essay by Ted Chiang, who gets to the heart of why language and art are inherently about conveying meaning and experience, not just form:

Ayer tuvimos reunión de equipo y decidimos cerrar la cuenta de #Twitter de la asociación (con cuenta aquí desde el año pasado), y estamos de debate en la cooperativa que se resolverá ya (con cuenta aquí desde el mes pasado). A veces hay decisiones colectivas que parecen difíciles de tomar (a menudo más por lo que se espera de fuera que por el colectivo en si) y a veces de repente la decisión es obvia. Creo que estas próximas semanas veremos un proceso de cierre en cascada de cuentas en Twitter

Kupovali jsme synovi nějaké věci na tělocvik v Decathlonu, a z těch jejich samoobslužných pokladen mi docela spadla brada. Žádné skenování, jen se hodí na pokladnu zboží, a pokladna sama pozná, co kupuju. 👍🏻

What is the least objectionable content delivery network (CDN) for a fully static website? That is, the CDN from the company that does the fewest bad things. Yes, I could run the site on a single server (dedicated, VPS, or even a machine in my home if I get a static IP address), but that would privilege visitors in a single geographic location, and static sites are of course the ideal use case for a CDN.
in reply to Matt Campbell

for what it's worth, I'm in Europe and that page loads just fine as is.

I'm more concerned about two things

1. The line spacing on your heading; the lines clash into each other, maybe there is a negative line spacing? and

2. When clicking on a post further down on that page, the font flickers probably because it gets loaded on demand and swaps a new font in

These two things are way more obvious than a few hundred ms initial load or paint time.

@drewdevault Eww, I can even see that the longest heading is ugly.


#klubovna má další upgrade, za který může #3Dtisk. Původní plán byl nechat "pozadí" za šipkovým terčem industriálně jak je na první fotce. Jelikož je stejné pro vzduchovkovou střelnici (kterou jsem zatím neprovoznil), předpokládal jsem častou výměnu Mirelonu na povrchu. Ale v rámci jednoho opravného malování jsem zalepil hrany páskou a vypadalo to docela dobře. Tak mě napadlo udělat to natrvalo jak je to vidět na druhé fotce. Vůbec nechápu, že někteří lidé jsou schopni žít bez 3D tiskárny 😁.
in reply to Archos

@archos To by bylo fajn. Tenhle terč sice má "cybermatch" (dneska by to asi prezentovali jako AI) a ani na tu nejlehčí obtížnost ho nedokážu porazit. Podle mě podvádí, tak mu říkám Hajzl. Jediná výjimka je pick-it Cricket, kde jsem v té sadě pravidel objevil chybu a občas ho dokážu zahnat do absolutně debilní taktiky a vyhrát. Normálním házením ale ne 🙁.


Blind math students, do you find yourself using the TI-84 calculator a lot? If so, why? Right now I'm trying to report on which intervals f is increasing and I can't figure out how to control my zoom levels so I don't miss anything. I know I can do this much faster using Desmos, but I also should learn how to use this thing...
in reply to Wenwei

Non-US person here, what does that thing do that Desmos doesn't, and why would you want to learn it over Desmos?

I have never had the opportunity to see one, and probably won't ever have one at this point.

So for this college class, we're using apache on windows for whatever reason, and I was trying to install xampp but the installer is not accessible. Has anyone had any experience installing xampp on windows? They do have a vm that I can access through vSphere but the web client doesn't let me use the entirety of my keyboard, like the windows, alt, and control keys so I can't get to the run dialog.
#Vmware #Broadcom #Accessibility #Apache #NVDA
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki Right. But they specifically want me to use windows. If I was able to access their vm, they've got everything set up already but as I said the web client is kinda broken. I tried getting vmware workstation because apparently you can connect to vSphere vms from in there, but since they've merged with Broadcom they have this weird account stuff and I can't seem to create one, unless I'm looking in the wrong place.
in reply to Andrew Tiedgen

Is there a reason why WSL won't work / did they prohibit it? I mean, that is technically Windows, and "I need this for accessibility" is usually a good enough excuse in these circumstances.
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki Fair point I suppose. All I really need to do is get a web server up and running that has php and mysql. I just thought it'd just be easier to figure out how to get with the program as quickly as possible, since we start really getting into it on Tuesday.
in reply to Andrew Tiedgen

If you have admin rights on the computer you're using, that's if it's your computer and not theirs, that would be the easiest option I think.

Just get Ubuntu through WSL, and then look for "how to install X on Ubuntu" and you'll find plenty of tutorials. Asking Chat GPT will probably work too, with the usual caveats.

in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki I *constantly* have this issue where WSL2 just, cannot connect to the internet. It's not even DNS, pinging IP addresses doesn't work!


wtf is #1p_for_floss ?

One percent 💰 for Free and Libre Open Source.

1% is a suggestion. Substitute whatever fraction makes sense for your life and position. Is that 0.025%? Great! Contribute that and use the tag with blessings.

The idea is to normalize regularly giving to support the tens of thousands of "dude in Nebraska holding up the internet" #XKCD2347 that make our computing life as rich as it is.

Use Ko-Fi, Patreon, GitHub Sponsors, PayPal, Bitcoin, ... heck even old fashioned snail mail 🐌 💌. Just make sure it's money 💰, and make it a habit.

I (accidentally) removed two symbols from a curl header that have been deprecated and without functionality for over 17 years.

Result: of course there is still code out there using those that now reports build failures...

Keeping absolute backwards compatibility is real work.

This entry was edited (2 months ago)
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

@Man2Dev I wonder how does this interact with security vulnerabilities? Would you want to break backwards compatibility of deprecated stuff if the old way of doing it was insecure and there is no good way to fix it in a compatible way? I can’t think of a good example though, not sure if it ever actually happened in curl.
in reply to Jaanus Kase

@jaanus @Man2Dev yes, that *can* happen. We have changed defaults in the past because of this, which technically could be seen as a minor compatibility breakage.


@daniel For some reason, none of my XMPP accounts seem to authenticate successfully any more when using Conversations (Playstore) on my Chromebook. I'm getting 'unauthorized' in the UI. Happens for three different accounts on two different servers (that use different server software). Those same accounts work fine when using Conversations on my phone. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?


Periodic reminder that you are not in a "zoom call", you are in a call.
You are not watching a "youtube video", you are watching a video. You are not checking your "google calendar", you are checking your calendar. Your friend group is not "a discord", you are individual human beings that are in a chat room.

Any of these tools cold go away or change at any moment. Also, everyone else is forgiven, but if you're a journalist: you should know better.
