Not replying when your whole body is itching with a strong desire to send something really sarcastic back. *that* is the restraint that builds character.

At least that's what I tell myself.

Let's say someone's running down the street, waving a machete left and right. A pedestrian doesn't manage to jump aside and gets killed. Do we call that murder?

So why, when someone is speeding in a few ton iron coffin and killing someone, we are talking of "unfortunate accident"?

Nobody talks about cyclists in this context though. A speeding car like this is really either an accident or the driver is a dickhead which happens not too often. However, bikes and scooters speeding on pedestrian zones — all the time. they are just freaking dangerous for pedestrians, and nobody cares, because it's "healthy" and "green". As a person hit by a cyclist (fortunately without consequences), I compare *them* to that guy waving his machete.

My chodíme s manželkou ke každým volbám a teď teprv po strašně dlouhé době premiéra, kdy oba musíme vynechat, protože nás dostal nějaký virový parchant (čili marodíme). Kdyby už politici pohnuli s tou digitalizací, bylo by to hned jednodušší, dalo by se hlasovat z domova (mohlo by to jít třeba i z datové schránky).

@mkyral @archos Mají jich fakt hodně. Lidi by si měli uvědomit, že kraje například:
1. Spravují silnice II. a III. třídy (tedy největší část silniční sítě mimo místních komunikací)
2. Objednávají autobusovou dopravu, spěšné a osobní vlaky
3. Zřizují a spravují skoro všechny střední školy a část základních
4. Zřizují a spravují významnou část nemocnic a zařízení sociální péče
5. Zřizují a spravují významnou část kulturních zařízení
6. Rozdělují dotace jak z krajského rozpočtu, tak částečně i od státu a z EU

@archos Docela dost. Třeba mezi 20.00 a 22.00 jsme měli tři voliče, z toho jedna je člen komise a jeden její manžel, tj. přesně jednoho člověka z ulice. Ne, že by to jindy byl takhle večer úplný fičák, ale dnes to byl extrém. Doufám, že se mýlím, ale vypadá to minimálně u nás na hodně nízkou účast.

@archos většinou když jdu volit, bývá nátřask, fronta, … Mívám pocit, že bude rekordní volební účast, ale nakonec je třeba jen mírně nadprůměrná.

Dneska bylo poprvé u voleb na Praze 3 úplně mrtvo. Tipuju, že i 20% účast bude nakonec úspěch. I kandidáti byli před volbama naprosto neviditelní - žádné plakáty, meetingy, jen 1 leták do schránky.

LinkedIn is "TikTok" for middle aged people.

You know how older people are always scared of TikTok messing up young people's minds with disinformation and bullshit, of influencers getting kids to do dumb shit for their profit? That's exactly what LinkedIn does for middle aged people: A constant stream of weird influencers selling absolute garbage to people who are unsure about what their job means and what they care about.

finally figured out why @mozilla's rejection of the #fediverse is bothering me so much: i had no idea mozilla.social was open to the public. i thought it was only for their employees.
support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/m…

so am even angrier because this "experiment" was bullshit.

if i, one of the most eager early adopters of tech on the planet didn't get that mozilla.social was open to everyone, then it's their fault millions didn't flock to the platform.

Want to use a cheap eSIM plan but don't have an eSIM compatible phone?

Try an eSIM adapter! These nifty cards are basically removable eUICCs that you can provision eSIM profiles onto.

The one I'm recommending uses an open source app to manage profiles. The app in question is OpenEUICC, a fully open-souce LPAd implementation for Android. Other eSIM adapters use proprietary, closed source apps and require account sign-ups.

More details can be found in this article: androidauthority.com/esim-adap…

Two images, one above the other. On top is a photo of a single-serving package of pears in a plastic container. Label on the package says: "Pears grown in Argentina. Packed in Thailand." Below this is a map of the world, with arrows showing the long long long journey of pears from Argentina to Thailand and then back across the Pacific Ocean to the United States, where the single-serving package above was purchased.

No yes Levar Burton meme. The No Levar is labelled "America the last 45 years" and says "Despite the many benefits, domestic nuclear power is to risky" The Yes Levar is labelled "America now" and says "Rich people want more computers that can't do basic math. Time to go nucular again."

The Hungarian presidency in the Council of the EU has proposed another text for the #ChatControl file. It is to be discussed by the law enforcement working party in Council on Monday (23 September).
Experts widely criticise Chat Control e.g. for attacking #E2EE, IT-security and violating (European) fundamental rights.
The #GlobalEncryptionCoalition now warns that the Hungarian proposal fails to resolve the problems of the regulation and calls on governments to reject it:

Thanks @sektor for the work on I38. There were actually 4 patches, but the script that reports them only picked up the last one. To see whatelse changed, use git log.
@Hunter Jozwiak

For Windows users that are doing encrypted backups of their old iPhones--I'm headed to the Apple Store to get my new phone, and don't trust iCloud implicitly--the Apple Devices app on Windows is a great alternative to using iTunes. Apple folded all of the iPhone syncing and backing up stuff into a nice little UWP app on the Windows Store and the accessibility is phenomenal. Imagine all of the iTunes sections relevant to device management, copied and pasted into their own not-laggy interface.

Weird question. How do you get iOS18 to stop suggesting contact names when you have a contact named a particular thing, such as an endearment, like I've done with ChocolatePie@tweesecake.social and iOS insists on popping up this little thing at the top of a message window trying to get you to change it to the name it suggests rather than simply letting you keep the contact's name the way you want it? I've gone through both phone settings and contact settings and can't find any way to get it to stop doing that and I've got no clue where else to look in settings to get rid of that annoying thing.

@cachondo I just don’t see why apple has taken it upon itself to try telling people how to arrange and name their contacts. I really don’t get it. People were able to do whatever they wanted with their contacts’ names and so forth for years on end, and now there’s apple, virtually nagging them.

Whatsapp's suggested names for a long time.
Sensibly named contacts also aid in sharing with others, access for emergency services etc.
Nickname field means you can call people what you want without changing who they actually are.
I have family that do the ICE thing, family that put full names in the first name box, and that make separate contacts for different numbers or even email addresses.
While of course you should be free to manage contacts how you want, the inefficiencies and legacies of using SIM cards to store name-number pairs persist widely.

@cachondo WhatsApp never popped a button up at the top of the screen that forced you to change contact name and wouldn’t disappear till you did what it dictated you do though. That’s the difference. It happened for the first time when my girlfriend and I got onto a facetime call a couple nights ago. That dialogue popped up and took over the screen and wouldn’t let me navigate away from it or do anything else with my phone until I did what it wanted, which I really don’t need happening. Technology should do what the user says, not the other way about. If it would just suggest instead of trying to force you to do things its way, that’d be one thing. But it tries to make you do what it wants and traps you in this inescapable dialogue when you’re on a facetime call. It doesn’t trap you in that dialogue in message screens, but it does in Facetime calls.

@cachondo That’s where my problem comes in. At least it doesn’t trap you in that dialogue in message windows, but when you go on a Facetime call and that thing pops up, you literally can’t even navigate to your home screen. You literally have to go in and change the contact name before it will allow you to do anything else at all with the phone, which to me is fifty pounds of crap in a two pound bag.

@cachondo Incidentally, I just got that damn button popping up again, and when I went into the edit field for my girlfriend’s contact details on my phone, there is no longer a nickname field. So they’ve effectively eliminated that as an option. I looked everywhere and can’t find a nickname field. So it looks as if I’m going to have to be eternally battling with my phone to keep the endearment as her contact name. Thank you very much, apple. I guess mere people are now too stupid to decide for themselves how they handle their own iPhone contacts.

@TomGrant91 @cachondo Oh just you wait. If you have a contact named something other than what they set up as their name, it'll do it to you. And what's worse is, if you end up in a facetime call with them, you'll be trapped in the dialogue till you do what the phone wants you to do.

As much as we fight the EU Commission's push for #chatcontrol, we applaud the EU for protecting users' #privacy with the #GDPR.

It's about time the #EU Commission reflects on European values and increases data protection, not undermining it. ✊

The Access Text Network (a US platform where some publishers share accessible PDFs of their books on demand to authorized users) has gradually been coming back online after it collapsed this spring as a result of some kind of disagreement between Georgia Tech and the Association of American Publishers.🤔

A week ago, in spite of all her campaign promises to defend the rights of Mexico's sexual diversities, President-Elect Claudia Sheinbaum announced that the terf Renata Turrent will be the new director of the public television station Canal Once. In response, over 100 queer, antiracist and abortion rights organizations and nearly 400 individuals have signed this statement calling for her dismissal. @reclaimingtrans and @thatweirdolee have been kind enough to host the English translation
