Štve mě to politikum, které maximálně ovládlo diskusi a vývoj ohledně digitalizace státu.
Společně s kolegy z oboru jsme dali dohromady náš odborný postoj k budoucímu směřování digitalizace služeb veřejné správy.
Míň nás zajímá, kdo za co může, ale víc to, na co je teď potřeba se soustředit, abychom pokračovali v započatém trendu a zachování stabilní a kontinuální priority digitalizace na nejvyšší politické úrovni.
Podepište nebo sdílejte, prosím.
No he visto opiniones en el fedi, así que pregunto: ¿que os parece la idea de Rueda (presidente de la Xunta de Galicia) de crear una empresa pública comercializadora de energía?
Vice President Harris will appear on the show, "60 Minutes," the highest-rated news program on TV, airing Oct. 7.
And although the invitation to Trump stands
Trump has turned down the offer of back-to-back conversations with both presidential nominees,
-- his campaign says he didn't want interruptions for fact checks.

I feel I have lost sanity just reading this.
I have had a lot of people ask about the test to becoming a ham radio operator, one resource is hamstudy.org/
The test is a multiple choice test, with the answers already published, plus a few simple math formulas. I have heard of people studying for a week or two and cramming the question/learning the formulas and getting their license immediately. I personally recommend getting the license FIRST before worrying about operating the radio/etc., as it's a lot easier to have a license and have someone guide you through the actual operation after you can transmit on the air.
I'm a professional! 🏆

Die @openhomefoundation freut sich übrigens über Sprachschnipsel eurer Stimme. Es soll nur "OK NABU" eingesprochen werden, also viel einfacher als etwa bei #commonvoice
Gerne so viele unterschiedliche Sprecher wie möglich, damit später dies wakeword zuverlässig erkannt wird

#stt #stimme #voice #nabu #crowdsourcing #commons #nlp #ml #homeassistant #hass #iot #smarthome
NABU gibt es zu unterschiedliche Varianten. Manche sprechen solche Kürzel nicht als Wort sondern als einzelne Buchstaben. Finde das nahzu unbrauchbar für ein key word ... An wen kann man sich da wenden? Wer legt diese Wörter fest?
This is *the* best way for governments to be "sovereign" in the face of big tech dominance. Well done, Germany and STF.

Sperrminorität im EU-Rat: Niederlande bekräftigen Nein zu Chatkontrolle
Die Niederlande wollen den Kompromiss der EU-Ratspräsidentschaft zur Messenger-Überwachung nun doch nicht unterstützen.
"Da erklärte die AfD die Grünen zum angeblichen Hauptfeind unserer Gesellschaft und alle machten mit. Man kann mich gerne korrigieren, aber noch nie in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik haben die Grünen den Bundeskanzler gestellt. Aber es wird immer so getan, als wenn sie seit 30 Jahren an der Macht wären und niemand sonst. Der Tonfall etwa aus CDU und CSU gegenüber den Grünen unterscheidet sich nicht von dem der AfD. Das unterhöhlt die Demokratie, das ist zersetzend, weil sich die Parteien so koalitionsunfähig machen."
Sehr treffen formuliert von Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk.
Dieser Feldzug gegen andere Parteiein, die fest auf dem Boden der Demokratie stehen, ist ein Irsinn, der die Union kein Stück voran bringen wird!
I’ve published my article on the Impact Hero SDK (as used by at least 16 browser extensions) and the refoorest extension. The company behind these is the France-based Colibri Hero, also known as allcolibri: palant.info/2024/10/01/lies-da…
Trust me, the article title is justified. I couldn’t believe it when I saw how everything they claim turns out to be a lie. Their line of business is commonly called “affiliate fraud,” so they carefully avoid this topic and instead make the impression of being supported by altruistic companies that genuinely care for our planet.
They promise to plant trees if people use their extensions but their numbers are all fake. The numbers displayed by the extension don’t add up to the numbers shown on their web page. Maybe they should have implemented access control if they didn’t want anybody to figure that out. And the numbers on the web page – well, these have been increasing at a constant rate of 20 trees per hour for the past four years, completely ignoring what their extension users did or didn’t.
Do they actually donate any money? Probably, I don’t know. They don’t disclose their finances, and if they did these would probably turn out fake as well. Should anyone trust them? No, not from what I saw. Should these extensions be nuked from orbit (or at least from the add-on stores)? Yes, absolutely.
There is more “fun” stuff going on here, so feel free to read the article.
Perhaps the last human-generated song I'll ever write.

T-Mobile reaches $31.5 million settlement with FCC over past data breaches
Apparently, T-mobile is now mandated to implement better cybersecurity controls, such as properly segmenting networks and using phishing resistant #MFA.
This settlement covers the breaches in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Will we get a 2024 special? 💀
Jimmy Carter turns 100 today. He is proof that decency and goodness can exist in public service.
Did you know that Jimmy Carter heroically saved Canada from a nuclear meltdown when he was a naval officer?
It's true!
The world’s first nuclear reactor meltdown occurred in the Ottawa Valley — and a young U.S. naval officer was brought in to contain the disaster — 72 years ago.
Leading a team of two dozen men, 28-year old Lieutenant Carter had himself lowered into the damaged reactor.

A $621 million suit for ~$41,000 in "damages" for archiving thousands of musical recordings that would otherwise be lost to history.
This is nothing short of an effort to end the @internetarchive from major music labels and we should all be furious.

No sé si hay que ver flexibilidad ideológica, oportunismo, un poco de cada... O que a lo mejor está cambiando el sentido común sobre este tema.
