Fiala: Dejte mi ještě čtyři roky a budete mít platy jako v Německu

I was doing so good there for about a week. Now I'm back to this thing where I sleep for no more than two hours, then I'm up for the rest of the day.
I've gotten about 8 hours or so of sleep in the last four days.
I guess it's better than being awake for many days straight, which I've also done somewhat recently.
In related news, stress sucks.

Vnímám 17. listopad jako druhou šanci. Před pětatřiceti lety jsme dostali možnost změnit sebe, svůj život, okolí a zemi. Tehdy si nikdo z nás neuměl pořádně představit, jak by měla demokracie a naše země vypadat.bird.makeup

But only FF on Windows, nothing else. Although, I do have Chrome installed for these 1% of the time when some app decides it's going to say it doesn't support FF.
Holy crap Samsung Health on my watch is abysmal. I'm sick of trying to make it work properly.
Back to Google fit, even if it can't find me on my walks.
Will avoid both these brands for my next watch.
@fireborn the GPS is terrible. I'm constantly walking through buildings or stumbling around like a drunk. I can deal with that but the constant checking that I'm still on my walks despite the elevated heart rate and (drink) GPS activity is infuriating. Sometimes 10+ "are you still walking?" Prompts per 30 mins.
Today it just paused the workout for no apparent reason. I didn't notice for 10 mins even though I have to check it every minute or two for that above-mentioned prompt.
So bad.
Interestingly, I have a Huawei GT3 which is fantastic with fitness stuff but it doesn't play nicely when synchronising the date over health sync. I might try it again, it's been long enough for an update 🤣.

I submitted the manuscript for my next book!
It's a collection of folktales about misunderstood / underappreciated animals. Bats, sharks, wolves, rats, spiders, etc. I managed to find cool stories for each, and in every one of them the animal is portrayed in a positive light.
It was one heck of a research project, and I really enjoyed it 😄
i'm going to make a radical claim:
the "phone" has basically ceased to exist.
these devices we call phones? they're pocket computers that just happen to have cellular connectivity. they should be treated as such - which means open specs, unlockable booting, replaceable operating systems.
if you need to blob the cellular bit for regulatory approval, fine, do that, but agree a standard interface to it (like AT commands for old modems, or the interface to the Pi's GPU capabilities) that all OSes can use on all cellular devices. but there's no excuse for locking down any of the rest of the device, is there?

This one’s quite important, thespinoff.co.nz/atea/25-10-20….
While Māordom has been in an uproar about the Treaty Principles Bill, which New Zealand First MP Shane Jones says is “dead in the water”, the coalition government has quietly set the wheels in motion for at least 28 pieces of legislation to have their Treaty clauses reviewed and potentially removed.
Key terminology here is “investors.” This seems like just the right sort of trickery perfected by conservatives in America.
thx @ClareBear

Corrected a problem where with latest builds of Windows11, it was not possible to create shortcuts to files and folders.
If you do not create such shortcuts, there is no need to update.
This is gonna sound a little wonky. But have you ever been scrolling late at night and you come across those videos of that guy cleaning those filthy rugs?

Patřím mezi ty, kteří se v listopadu ‘89 zapojili do dění. Když jsme se poprvé v úzkém kruhu sešli, abychom založili místní Občanské Fórum, ještě jsme měli strach, že nás rozežene Veřejná bezpečnost.
A že to schytáme, jako všichni ti, kteří byli odvážní před námi.

Patřím mezi ty, kteří si přejí, aby se nic z toho bolševického zla už nevrátilo. Jistě, mnoho věcí se dalo udělat jinak a lépe. Nikdo ale neměl manuál, jak na to. Proto jsem spokojena s tím, co se nám, naší společnosti, podařilo. Není to málo.
Dost lidí ale už zapomnělo.

Patřím mezi ty, kteří nikdy nezradí myšlenku, se kterou jsme v listopadu ‘89 vyšli do ulic.
Pokud nás bude víc, neprohrajeme. Možná se zdá, že tentokrát dostaneme přes držku. Možná. Ale naši oponenti nemají, kromě lží a prázdných slibů, co nabídnout.

"Oh no, the furry blog has furry art on it. Time to gripe in the comments!"
Weak display.
This is your cue to start your own blog, fill it with furry stickers, and share it widely.
I want to see foxes and tigers on every r/programming thread.
I want to see r/netsec full of dragons and sergals.
You can leave r/crypto alone. They've largely been accepting of my silly musings.

I generally agree with all this, but I will say the fedi is still viable.
Mastodon is not.
The fedi can still diversify as we learn what did and did not work with apps post Twitter.
And a major lesson is that you still have to have a good product. Standing for ‘ethical alternatives’ is great but in a world where we have to choose between bad and awful to survive on a regular basis, soap boxing with under developed half assed platforms is not going to cut it.
I think it’s good to keep talking about the ills of Bluesky.
But we need to keep talking about how Mastodon basically held the door open for them by refusing to adapt and listen to the souls that were telling the project how to win. hachyderm.io/@danilo/113488791…
Bluesky now growing at a rate of 12-13 users per secondSo why am I beating this drum?
Mastodon’s failure to capture Twitter’s collapse is instructive as a once-in-a-generation cautionary tale
Product design matters, protocol ideology is not enough, and disliking capitalism is not an exemption from economics
You will read a lot of copium about the fediverse still being viable, but it is now the smaller development target. That has consequences.
Some key features driving BlueSky's success are:
1) Starter packs
2) Block lists
3) Don't be completely terrible to the Black women early adopters, who have driven adoption of every platform from FaceBook to Instagram to Twitter to Vine.
Notice I didn't even say "Be great to Black women early adopters!" I just said don't be completely terrible.
None of the things above require millions in funding. Funding is not the issue. Ideology and prioritization are.

Byl jeden světový politik, jmenoval se Biden a ten taky tvrdil, že jeho vláda je velmi úspěšná. A ona objektivně v mnoha ohledech úspěšná je, ale když se tváříš, že je vše "nadmíru výtečné", a nepřiznáš, že i tak můžou mít lidi problémy, i když za ně tvoje vláda ani přímo nemůže, prohraješ volby.
