Ruský prezident Putin svým dekretem přikázal obnovit hudební soutěž Intervize, která se konala v časech Leonida Brežněva. Konat by se měla ještě letos, aby tak nahradila mezi Rusy nesmírně populární hudební soutěž Eurovize. irozhlas.cz/kultura/hudba/rusk…

"what is magic if not a way to transform the world through the power of our thoughts? What are books if not spells? What are stories if not the most powerful and mysterious force known to man?"
Not since King of Morning, Queen of Day by Ian McDonald and Angelica by Arthur Phillips has a fantastic mystery had this sort of impact. I was very pleased to see that Dan's managed to do it again, in terms of writing a book without any actual narration, and I was even happier that the table of contents didn't give it away. Whoops? I've spoilered that for you now. I love this chalkboard-style of writing, the idea that this whole work is a huge tapestry of interconnectedness. I enjoyed every page, and I think the ending just clicks so well that, even if it's predictable, it's so hard not to cheer along and want things to fall out.

Brilliant book, best read of the year so far.

For those encountering random video playback application crash heisenbugs on the open source #AMDgpu #Mesa drivers on #Linux (thankfully, with #Wayland this no longer crashes the entire system), with the suspicious "CS has been rejected" error, here is the bug I reported upstream: gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me…

The theory is that the DRM's implementation of AMD's Unified Video Decoder does not properly keep track of #Flatpak process IDs. A patch is underway.

Apple’s line of rhetoric here which agitates the supposed safety of children and blankets the entirety of porn and sexual contents with the term “hardcore porn” is exactly the kind of language you’d expect to hear from the mouths of conservative politicians and far-right extremists when they try to justify the eradication and persecution of marginalized groups online.

This encompasses a wide range of marginalized communities, from LGBT people, to sex workers themselves, who seldom live in anything other than deeply precarious conditions throughout their lives.

New post: “Which VoiceOver?”

Just because something behaves a certain way in VoiceOver doesn’t mean it behaves that way in VoiceOver.

„Die Polizisten gingen nah an mich ran, die Hunde sprangen mich an und bissen mich in den Oberarm“, schildert Krug die Situation. Sie sei geschockt gewesen und zurückgewichen. Wenige Sekunden später habe ein anderer Polizist seinen Hund gegen sie gehetzt – das ist die Szene, die man auf dem Video sieht.
Hundetrainer Martin Rütter nannte den Umgang des Polizisten mit dem Polizeihund „kompletten Wahnsinn“. taz.de/!6063531/

‘Down there,’ he said, ‘are people who will follow any dragon, worship any god, ignore any iniquity. All out of a kind of humdrum, everyday badness. Not the really high, creative loathesomeness of the great sinners, but a sort of mass-produced darkness of the soul. Sin, you might say, without a trace of originality. They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don’t say no.’

Fun fact: Did you know you can open the quick settings from within Windows setup OOBE screen using Windows +A and disable Wi-fi from there?
That's right. No need for messy commands. Just, go in there before it asks you to connect to a network, and toggle Wi-fi off. Can't believe they don't block the quick settings pannel.

Even creators are treated like a SKU. And the whole lack of explanation is telling.

Workers in DC are fighting to block Musk's minions.

"About 100 Federal employees and supporters...blocked the doors to...‘data miners’....The small group of young men eventually left without entering after the protesters would not let them near the front doors."

Er, wait... that $100M contract with Elon Musk's Starlink that Doug Ford "ripped up"? Doug Ford signed that deal himself when Trudeau wouldn't make a deal with Musk, conning Ontario taxpayers out of $100M for a service worth less than $14M.

Now he's calling a snap election while taking credit for undoing his own crooked deal (with added penalty costs to Ontario taxpayers). The news is only covering his ripping up of the contract, not the origins of the contract to begin with.
