Zlodeji dostali krídla a sú čoraz agresívnejší, obchodníci občas vidia na policajtoch apatiu
Krádeže v obchodoch stále pribúdajú, potvrdzujú to niektorí obchodníci. Viac než finančné straty ich však trápia obavy o zamestnancov, zlodeji sú totiž čoraz agresívnejší. Podľa niektorých občas badať náznaky nezáujmu u policajtov.Daniela Krajanová (Denník N)
Cool, so my smart TV screen reader has been doing this thing where it cuts out before my AV receiver can actually read what it says, and now the thing is basically useless except as a display.
This is probably fine, both because the thing is a useless cesspool of advertising and surveillance, but also because I've been using my layoff-gifted hardware as a more capable media PC than the TV ever was. So I guess I just need 2 things:
- A decent HDMI monitor. At smallish size points, is there a visual reason to prefer a TV screen over a monitor at medium distances? And maybe I need something with CEC so turning on the monitor would also activate the receiver but I don't know and HDMI is confusing AF.
- Something with the form factor of a remote control, but not necessarily IR, that I can wire into @homeassistant and/or maybe dbus on the media PC so a button might switch sources, tweak GNOME desktop audio settings, etc.
Any thoughts?
Ah, so latency is a factor too. I have something like a 32-inch TV now because I just don't need bigger, and I'm guessing that's where most monitors top out size-wise?
I'll probably end up going this route anyway and cobbling something together, just trying to figure out all the issues I'll hit on the way.

🔗 Seems like people are moving around between social media apps so new profile link options now available on your account settings page: You can set Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads accounts by revealing the "More Links" section. All of these links will appear on your profile page.
Links added will have "rel=me" inserted on your profile so you can get a green check mark on your mastodon profile!
One more update: The `fediverse:creator` metatag is now inserted into game and blog post pages that you have authored when you assign a Mastodon username to your account.
This will enable itch.io link embeds on Mastodon to show author attribution of your fediverse account. Learn more here: blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/…
You must opt-in to the domains that are eligible for attribution from Edit Profile > Public Profile > Verification (and scroll to the bottom, add itch.io and your own subdomain)

As far as I can tell this was meant entirely seriously. I guess 0ver.org is gaining traction.

You're invited to take a moment to share your thoughts by completing this brief survey.
Question 1: What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?
- Protecting my privacy online
- Avoiding scams
- Choosing products, apps, technology, and services that I can trust

The form is oriented to have you saying they should go for AI.
It's a pleasure to answer instead "protect online privacy".
TIL: @tuxedocomputers released #Linux #kernel drivers for their machines under the #GPLv3, which makes it impossible for competitors and distros to ship them pre-compiled, as that license is incompatible with the #LinuxKernel's #GPLv2 only license.
They did this purposely, allegedly to "keep control of the upstream pacing" – and want to re-license the code while upstreaming.

They are working on doing the same for the remaining drivers.
They also submitted a updated version of the patchset making the #Linux #Kernel's module loader treat some of the modules as proprietary; the list of modules handled that way is much shorter now:

I personally had a hard time clicking a blank area of my taskbar with a screen reading tool, so if you are using one, an alternative is to run this command from your Run (Windows +R) dialog:
C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher\ExplorerPatcher.amd64.dll",ZZGUI
after running, a window titled "properties" should open. Use up and down arrow to choose a setting, left and right to change one.
I personally enabled the shell integration, simple tab switcher, and in advanced, definitely "Enable SysListView32 for Explorer views" - this will give you the older "folder view list view" type view when browsing lists of folders, and it does speed up the arrowing back to how I remember it. Be sure to also check the "control interface" setting and if you want the older Windows 7 menu bar back, choose "Windows 7 command bar."
All of this does make Explorer Patcher worth it, especially if running on non-insider builds. Highly recommended for anyone fed up with Windows 11's bloat and slowness.
Side note: I could not get it to cooperate well with my Open Shell once I reverted to the older Start Menu, so I've removed that for now.

Yeah, it did get better.
Same for C#; we finally got to upgrade some projects on my current teams to .NET 8 and the linter prompts to make things nicer are routinely making me feel a bit better about life 😁
Still often find myself wishing I was working in something else. The languages improve but the ecosystem still drags it all down.

After applying to 4 universities, I received 3 offers—RMIT, CSU, and ECU. I’ve decided to go with CSU as their honours and masters programs are fully online. Since I’m also interested in sociology, I’ll be starting with the Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology). The best part? I only need to study for just over 12 months because I received credit for several subjects from my previous studies.
I start next week with Foundations of Psychology 1 and 2. I already have access to the materials, and it looks absolutely amazing. Many of the concepts feel familiar since they align closely with neuroscience. Thank you all for your well wishes as I explore this new direction!

There's also the aspect of needing to hear your phone whilst you're operating it, which can require a wired setup or introduce wireless lag.
And then there's the idea of timing, if you want to capture something in motion or quickly. Screen reader users are typically slower at unlocking their devices, opening an app and triggering a capture.

Kotlebove hliadky je cosi ako navrat k divokemu zapadu. Chytrejsi pochopia aj z knih. A menej chytri to asi potrebuju zazit a potom pochopia, ze tr. z. nie je dokonaly, ale je lepsi nez ked sa vsetci navzajom a vkuse okradame a vrazdime.

Tr. z. je komplexna vec, sucast este vacsej komlexnej veci: spolunazivanie.
Tu komplexitu evidentne zohladnili, lebo ak znizovali sadzby a limity za velke lupy, tak znizili aj za male. Lebo suvisi a prilis by bilo do oci ak by male neposunuli. 1/2
