"Whaddyamean, you could remove the built-in spyware?
No no no, that's a bug, the removal option was not supposed to be available, let's fix that…"

I do pity the general population who has to be subjected to that sort of built-in data collection, and all the security and privacy problems it entails. Too bad #Linux is not even a blip on the public consciousness & cultural upbringing.
Jsou produkty a taky software, u kterých si myslím, že se velmi přiblížili k dokonalosti, resp. to co slibují dělají dobře. Za mě to jsou:
* Framework notebook s AMD procesorem - lepší notebook jsem nikdy neměl
* Kindle Paperwhite 5 - za mě překonal papír a pokud vám nevadí knihy v angličtině, je to jak Netflix pro knížky
* Miniflux - self-hosted RSS čtečka, co se ovládá klávesovými zkratkami a umí stáhnout obsah stránky, takže skoro všechno čtete v jednom rozhraní.
* Gitea - vlastní Github

Canada's transport minister to meet with Via Rail after passengers stranded 10 hours in Quebec
cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/vi…
If the solution doesn't including building and funding passenger rail infrastructure, then you are just incompetent. And we are not talking about a glossy report.
Also the article says:
> Via Rail said it is also investigating after an employee took away a passenger's phone during this time, [...]
Oh that doesn't look good on VIA.
To explain how shitty is the train, Montreal to Quebec I do it faster by car within the speed limit.
Montreal to Ottawa, it's a toss up, but back then I had the car for the final destination in the NCC (the O-train still doesn't cross the river)
in 2003 I did commute 230 km by train. It took 1h platform to platform. It was in France.
Canada's transport minister said he is determined to get to the bottom of a recent train delay that left Via Rail passengers stranded for about 10 hours in Quebec over the long weekend.
You haven't funded it properly for decades you dumb fucking bastard.
they can't fund what they don't own. Which is the gist of the problem. They privatized railroad after bailing them out through a crown corp, and when railroad didn't want to do passenger service anymore, they decide to provide a publicly funded service as a second rate on top of for profit "not-giving-a-fuck" private railroads.
Yes it's a structural policy failure.
Considering the wave of “China's economy will collapse!” videos & articles occurring again at the minute, I am once again showing off my video compiling the last decades of people predicting China's collapse:
The source for this apparent and always occurring collapse is usually one guy who has been claiming this collapse will happen “this decade” for the past 30 years.
I will run a #curl webinar on Thursday.

It's become hard to follow Covid levels, and I've got a bunch of travel coming up over the next few months (NC, LA, MA, and MO), so I put together this bot that publishes state-by-state Covid levels, as tracked in wastewater. It posts once weekly, Saturday, which is when the CDC updates their numbers.
I basically just made this for me, but perhaps others might find it useful.

Binance complies with Israeli request, seizes Palestinian funds
cryptopolitan.com/binance-seiz…
Crypto exchange Binance has seized all funds belonging to Palestinians, acting on a request from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
…the exchange refuses to return the funds. All appeals have been denied. Palestinians affected by this decision have found their accounts frozen with no way to access their crypto assets...

I started a curl discussion about how we might manage the growing numbers of options vs. allowing users to do exactly what they want.
Maybe as a curl command line user or libcurl API programmer, you have an opinion?
Znáte slovo "škračky"? (slyším to poprvé v životě a nedokáži to ani vyslovit😆)
Pokud ano, co to prosím Vás je???🤔

Have you ever been been told by an overly enthusiastic presenter that "55% of communication is through body language!"?
They're lying to you.
The study that's based on only tested women listening to single words.
Modern management theory is largely based on bullshit.

Jinak to jsou ty dva na fotce. Ten tmavší je AMD, ten používám. Ten světlejší jsem dal tchýni. To je první generace, co jsem si nechal poslat z USA. Ten nebyl tak dobrej. To AMD je úplně bezproblémové.
