Hello Stroongers! Here's part two of #StroongeCast where we answer some user comments about us as a couple, expound more upon the peeling of the orange, discuss our respective mother-in-laws, talk about whether hugging is more of a cultural thing perhaps, and get interrupted twice.
PS. Stick around until *after* the closing music for a little outtake...
For those who want to listen elsewhere, we're pleased to announce that we have an RSS feed so you can paste this into your podcatcher of choice, be that Apple Podcasts, downcast, Overcast etc.
I tested the feed on the PC in luna RSS, in downcast, and in overcast on the phone. I haven't checked to see if the straight podcasts app will eat it or find it.. but I did dump it on my VR Stream for fun, and into my BTSpeak and both blindy products ate it like achamp.
Long read but the TL;DR is basically that SaaS is the canary in the coalmine for the #growth fallacy. The arithmetic is so simple it boggles the mind how this mindset came to dominate in the first place: Growth stagnates for these megacorps because there's no more customers. Once you're on 95% of all PCs there's simply no remotely reasonable way to keep growing, let alone grow faster, yet that's what these supposed "business geniuses" expect.
Už mě zase mobilní operátor přivítal v zahraničí, správně napsal jméno navštívené země a pak přidal spoustu informací o tom, za kolik se volá "po celé EU," přestože Norsko v EU nikdy nebylo.
@ondrej ano, to samozřejmě vím, stejně jako Island a Lichtenštejnsko. Ale není to EU. Stejně tak není v EU Velká Británie, přesto ta zpráva (a naštěstí i ceny služeb) vypadají stejně.
Přitom by stačilo to zprávu formulovat třeba takto: "Užívej si v {země}. I tady, stejně jako v celé EU máš ceny jako doma…"
Muy interesante y necesario el debate que han abierto en @humanite_fr: ¿cómo reconquistar el mundo del trabajo frente al Rassemblement National? En las últimas legislativas muchos trabajadores y trabajadoras se abstuvieron o votaron mayoritariamente a la extrema derecha.
V dnešní době doslova na koleně vzniká různý open source hardware. Dnes jsem narazil na digitání fullframe fotoaparát. Vývoj ještě není u konce a v podstatě na něm děla převážně jeden člověk. Výstupy již však jsou. Je to fascinující co všechno lze "doma" dnes vyrobit.
Wat ik jammer - maar oplosbaar! - vind is dat er geen #kaart bestaat waarop je zelf met #fiets of #lopend een #route kan uitstippelen die je langs een aantal van deze #kunstwerken brengt.
Het dichtst wat daar bij komt is een kaart van #MapComplete.org waarop kunstwerken staan vermeld maar nu nog erg leeg is. Deze huisjes staan er bijvoorbeeld niet op. Het oplosbare bestaat eruit dat mensen ze wel zelf kunnen toevoegen. 😉 #DenHaag
Voor de duidelijkheid: #MapComplete werkt op/met dezelfde database waar heel veel apps op werken: #openstreetmap.org (de Wikipedia van kaarten). Wat je toevoegt komt dus uiteindelijk bij iedereen terecht. Doen dus!
Today is a special day for the @libreoffice community.
14 years ago, we decided to take a bold step and create LibreOffice, the best open source office suite.
Since then, we've managed to take LibreOffice to the top of the open source community and release 29 versions with incredible features and match our interoperability in the market.
Congratulations to the LibreOffice Community of developers, marketers, documenters, advocates, managers and, above all, our loyal users.
The complaint against LAPD for raiding a medical imaging place bc they thought it was a grow op, getting their rifle stuck to the MRI, and quenching the magnet is jaw dropping even for regular cop incompetence
Could the teenage engineering people please jump the shark somehow so I can somehow stop coveting anything rolling past that's even vaguely adjacent to their staked-out esthetic.
I especially appreciated the section on performance absolutism and micro-optimizations, though I have a rather different point of reference than speedrunning Super Mario. I grew up with Apple II computers, and there were (and still are, among hard-core retro computing enthusiasts) some programs, especially games and demos, that boot directly from a floppy disk with no OS. One such modern program boots to the opening menu from a floppy in under a second. 1/?
But of course, there were/are severe tradeoffs to achieve that impressive feat. Perhaps you know about the classic text adventures from Infocom. The Apple II versions of these games had a minimal boot loader that directly loaded the interpreter and game with no OS. That was the only way to squeeze the interpreter plus a possibly 128K game onto a 140K floppy. But that also meant there was no way to run the primitive screen reader for the Apple II, even though these were all-text games. 2/?
Now of course, the analogy breaks down. On the web, the screen reader is outside the website, and some very lean websites are also very accessible, being based entirely on standard semantic HTML elements. Though one could imagine some kinds of web site/app that could be implemented more compactly using canvas with no accessibility than using HTML and CSS. 3/?
But I think the desire to create a super-optimized work of art is the same, and I feel it as well. On the web, the equivalent of that game disk that boots to the opening menu super fast might be a page where the CSS and JavaScript is embedded in the HTML and it's all minimized to fit in the initial ~15K burst allowed by the TCP slow start algorithm, so it can totally crush page speed tests. Impressive, but not necessarily practical, though maybe for reasons other than accessibility. 4/4
@matt Yeah, I sort of feel this way about what I did with Pinafore. It was almost an experiment in making the most hyper-optimized SPA I could, a scorched-earth approach to perf optimizations. But it was also a one-man show, and bound to a particular framework, so it wasn't necessarily going to be maintainable long-term. I'm curious how Semaphore/Enafore have held up since then.
At the end of the day, perf is just one virtue among others, and has to be weighed accordingly.
We know — and our rulers certainly know — that if we are to have any hope of preserving even a limited version of today’s complex modern society, greenhouse gas emissions MUST go down, swiftly and urgently.
But instead, emissions continue going up and up and up. It is literally suicidal.
So, WHY haven't we stopped burning fossil fuels?
Because there are profits to be made. Huge, massive, irresistibly tempting profits.
In a sane world, these actions would be seen as criminal.
Perpetrators like fossil fuel executives, their financiers, and the politicians who enable them, would be arrested, charged, tried, and convicted, with assets forfeited to pay for mitigation and reparations.
😲 OMG, Audio Overview feature on NotebookLM is wild! It basically creates a podcast with two AI generated voices based on the source documents you upload. Definitely try if you haven't yet. #LLM #ML #AIblog.google/technology/ai/note…
Slovami klasika, ak máte dosah na niekoho ešte stále uväzneného Štokholmským syndrómom u Melóna... dajte im vedieť, že #sktwitter na Mastodone ich očakáva... 😂
#Tuvalu, likely first modern country to become uninhabitable, has new plan for keeping control of fishing rights even if its land disappears by #climatechange.
#LawOfTheSea treaty says sea territory, fishing rights only exist with reference to land territory, but is silent on what happens when land changes, disappears. Tuvalu has multi-pronged strategy to form intl consensus that sea borders remain if their land disappears.
Some impressions from Boiling The Ocean yesterday and today! Lots of productive planning and hacking including on postmarketOS, GNOME OS, Papers, eSIM settings, local-first plans, and much more :)
Did you catch the recent ACB Vispero Presentation - Use Text Processing Settings to Customize How JAWS Reads Text? In case you missed it, the archive is now available: acb-community.pinecast.co/epis…
Hi there :) We have inbox rules, which allow you set different rules for incoming email. To set up a new rule (for example set a rule to send email directly to trash) simply go to settings - email - click the plus under email rules.
