The Small Midwestern Cities That Could Play a Pivotal Role in This Year’s Elections

For all the talk about big-city Democrats and rural Republicans, it's the voters in overlooked places like Sandusky, #Ohio, and Racine, #Wisconsin, who could decide everything from key congressional races to the presidency.

Small Midwestern Cities Could Be Key to 2024 Elections

For all the talk about big-city Democrats and rural Republicans, it’s the voters in overlooked places like Sandusky, Ohio, and Racine, Wisconsin, who could decide everything from key congressional races to the presidency.

@KKocanski @babaq @trilobyte samoobsluha vs. pultový prodej je podobné téma. Bufet na stojáka vs. restaurace. Svět se posouvá. Já rád nakupuju spotřební zboží, nářadí apod. on-line, ale potraviny, oblečení a boty osobně. Nejvíc mi vyhovuje scan&go v Globusu. Nejdřív scannerem a co zavedli skenování aplikaci v mobilu, tak vyfotím čárový kód a nakupuju rovnou do tašky. Samozřejmě za to platím penězi i částí svého soukromí.

muting speech without the track pad | AppleVis

Hi all, I'm hoping someone has an answer to this, if there is one. On the track pad on the mac, you can use a lot of the same gestures as you can on the phone, such as the three finger double tap for speech and three finger tripple tap for screen cur…

Sam Altman side by side with Aaron Swartz.

I can't stop thinking about it. One was prosecuted by the US for downloading copyrighted data from 1 source for noble purposes, and committed suicide to avoid prison. The other is widely celebrated for doing this on a much larger scale*.

People often think about the DMCA as the law that was created in the wake of Napster to address online sharing of music & movies without compensating copyright holders.

A less discussed part of the law is that it banned repairing electronics without permission from the manufacturer as long as they use DRM to prevent it which practically everyone from Apple to John Deere does.

Every 3 years we get to request exceptions. This time we got this exemption.

FYI, use Signal or Threema as messenger, don't trust anyone who claims that Telegram or Session would be more secure, who ever claims that, doesn't understand how the security of those messengers works.
Session started on a reasonable basis (Signal Fork), but they removed a few essential security features over time and by now shouldn't be trusted.

'It is fine not to like a piece of Free software' and other oft-unstated FOSS-related freedoms

“Free software”, according to the FSF’s definition, embodies four freedoms.

There are plenty more than that - or, at least, many freedoms which are inherent in, or arise from, those four freedoms - most of which go unstated most of the time.

This is far from a complete list, but rather my jottings based on ponderings and observations from the last few days, across a couple of different (intentionally unstated / unlinked here) things.

@Tutanota I just realised that all the comments I have added to my contacts over the years, including family-related and medical important information, are gone...

I bet you don't remember when #wget briefly considered switching to using #libcurl back in 2007.

wget going libcurl?

Micah Cowan is the current maintainer of GNU Wget, and he recently posted a long mail to the wget mailing list titled "Thoughts on Wget 1.x, 2.0". Two fun quotes for the curious who don't feel like reading the whole post: 1.

Pokud máte vlastní doménu, ale nechcete přímo hostovat mastodont, můžete si aspoň zajistit dohledatelnost přes tu vlastní doménu. Současně pokud jste za hvězdu, můžete si v klidu nechat natisknout vizitky a plakáty s vaším ID a vůbec nevadí, že v budoucnosti přejdete na jinou instanci. Stále to bude fungovat 😎

Holy shit. The LA Times didn't just squash a Kamala Harris endorsement. They buried an entire series of articles about Donald Trump.

"According to internal memos viewed by TheWrap, the series, tentatively called 'The Case Against Trump,' would have ran throughout this week. The endorsement of Kamala Harris would then have been published on Sunday."

My family is a Linux family: both my parents and my wife use Linux, and so will the kids once they have their own computers. Apart from my Dad, they're all non-enthusiasts.

Yet, none of them use a beginner-friendly distribution. My Wife, who's by far the least technologically inclined of them all, is a very happy and satisfied NixOS user. A distribution that's the exact opposite of beginner-friendly.

How is that possible? None of them maintain their systems. I do that for them. In the past two decades, what I learned from helping friends and family with their computers is that the vast majority of non-enthusiasts have absolutely no desire to install and maintain an operating system, or even programs. They're much happier if someone else does that for them.

Therefore, while I see value in distributions aimed at beginner enthusiasts, I see very little value in distributions aimed at non-enthusiasts.

I wrote a few more words about this topic on my blog too.
