Just got back from a week of cross-country skiing in Seefeld, Austria. The weather was perfect!
The tourism board proudly advertises that Seefeld is reachable by train (which is true, though there’s definitely room for improvement). Still, every time I mentioned to someone—be it the hotel staff or my ski instructor—that I arrived by train, they were completely baffled.

Konec spekulací o hajlování
DER SPIEGEL uvádí, že aktivisté, kteří promítli nacistický pozdrav Elona Muska na průčelí jeho továrny Tesla v Grünheide, začali být vyšetřování Úřadem na ochranu ústavy, protože používání nacistických symbolů je v Německu zakázáno, a to i v uměleckém kontextu.
Z toho plyne, že Úřad na ochranu ústavy považuje gesto Elona Muska za nacistický symbol či gesto. Tady to tedy máte od nejlepší autority: šlo o Hitlergruß.
»Heil Tesla« – Staatsschutz ermittelt nach Projektion auf Tesla-Fabrik

Haben Aktivisten tatsächlich Elon Musks umstrittene Geste an die Tesla-Fabrik in Grünheide projiziert? Die Polizei sprach zunächst von einem »Fake«. Nun ermittelt der Staatsschutz wegen des Verbreitens verfassungswidriger Symbole.

@sesivany no já to nedavno řešil: Nejdřív jsem koukal na poštu, pak na první certifikační a paxem se na to vykvajznul s tím, že nemám zájem zvyšovat beztak již vysokou úroveň entropie okolního vesmíru.
Čtečku na eObčanku mám. Jednou se mi s ní povedlo přihlásit do portálu občana.
Podruhé jsem nějak pomotal hesla a tak byla eObčanka zablokována.

More than 98% of Costco shareholders voted down an anti-DEI proposal at their annual meeting. The proposal had been filed by the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank. In its Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Costco's board of directors had urged shareholders to reject the motion, saying: "Our efforts at diversity, equity and inclusion remind and reinforce with everyone at our Company the importance of creating opportunities for all." Here's more from @AxiosNews.
In 2022, someone who seems to have given up on the Fediverse posted a cool thing. It's a sequence inside a 3.14 kb executable, which, when run, takes a little bit of time to render, but produces this stupidly effective earworm.
I still have the executable file, which is clean, but I feel weird linking directly to it in a post.
Anyway, if you want to hear what can be squished into a tiny executable, here's the rendered audio from it.
The name of the executable is RedHeat_-_Meow x 3.14.exe

I really enjoyed this #podcast. It is a critique of how the internet has affected democracy. Chris Hayes and Ezra Klein provide some interesting insights. They talk too about podcasts and how the format itself hasn't (yet) been captured by the attention economy. I was reminded about Aaron Swartz’s work to create the open standard build on RSS which is still the way people download podcasts. #democracy #EzraKlein

IMHO it's more a "war" on shifting attention *away from* important stuff and over to whatever narratives du jour suit the powers that be, including the New York TImes I might add, who spend a lot of time crafting them.
As long as podcasts are "available wherever you get your podcasts" and not only in walled gardens like Spotify and Audible, they will hopefully be ok.
You could not pay me to sign up to Spotify to get a podcast from them--it will never, ever happen.
Γεια σε όλους! Είχαμε ένα αίτημα από έναν χρήστη που ρωτούσε αν γνωρίζουμε κάποια κοινότητα NVDA ή ομάδα email στην ελληνική γλώσσα, κ.λπ. Γνωρίζει κανείς κάτι που μπορούμε να τον παρακαλέσουμε;
Hi everyone! We had a request from a user asking if we know of a Greek-language NVDA community or email group, etc. Is anyone aware of anything we can direct them to please?
Earlier today, Google rejected a feature request asking for the option to use DNS-over-HTTPS servers other than Google’s and Cloudflare’s in Android: issuetracker.google.com/issues…
According to Google’s own testing, DoH is more private, secure, and performant than DoT on Android. There is no reason whatsoever to limit it to a handful of Google-approved servers.
Just like with Manifest V3 in Chrome, this arbitrary restriction on what DNS servers can use the most modern technologies in Android is a clear example of Google abusing their position to campaign against blocking invasive trackers. One of the clearest uses for custom DNS servers is the ability to block privacy-invasive services like Google’s at the DNS level.

in reply to Daniel Gultsch • • •Maybe they were baffled mostly because "I arrived here by train!" wasn't the expected response to "Sir, would you like tea or coffee with breakfast?" 😉
That's a stunning picture though. Seems like you had a great trip! See you in Brussels! I'm hoping for less snow there!
