Přátelé, tak dlouho jsem sledoval tyhle geniální animace, až jsem autorovi dneska napsal, jestli by souhlasil s tím, že je postupně budu dabovat do češtiny pro zdejší publikum. Chvilku jsme ladili, jak to udělat, ale od začátku byla odpověď jasná:
"я буду тільки радий, якщо ви поширюватимете мої анімації!"
(Budu jen rád, když budete mé animace dál sdílet!)
Takže si užijte první z mnoha dílů v kolaboraci s "Фріоніс", který je i po roce od prvního vydání stále aktuální! 🥰

@schmaker Když @dnesnaukrajine@pixelfed.cz přešel na Pixelfed, spousta lidí si založila účet – protože videa na iOS (Safari) nešla přehrát bez přihlášení.
❌ Video je sice .mp4, ale Safari blokuje přehrání kvůli CORS a session.

✅ Řešení: registrovat se a přihlásit se do pixelfed.cz v Safari
→ po přihlášení se video obvykle přehraje v Safari bez problémů.

"download time is reduced by ~13%" (for #curl)

I usually don't post during #AudioMo but I went to a great organ concert today and captured it with my stealth recording kit. I thought the results where pretty nice for what they are, so I guess here's the Sarabande by Georg Friedrich Händel, recorded on the 2000 Kleis organ located in the Händel House in Halle (Saale), Germany. Its the biggest organ in Halle I think with 4200 pipes. Sounds pretty impressive, let me tell you. A few more recordings follow in the thread.

#AudioMo 2025 day 6. This recording was made in 2018 when I was still in high school, a year before I graduated. This is a small elevator that they had to have to comply with the ADA, since the front hallway had a second floor. Recorded with my phone and for some reason tons of compression, sorry about that.

It's actually part of the accessibility requirement here. When an elevator arrives at a floor, it must have an audible indicator. This was usually a bell. Better yet, this indicator must be a single tone when going up, and a double tone when going down. That way, in a bank of elevators, a blind person can know that the elevator they wanted has arrived based on where they're going without being able to see any light-up panels, and also track where the door is.

This is Giant Fruit Bat, known as a “flying fox.” Their wingspan can extend to four feet.

Photographer Hardik Shelat captured the beautiful animal in a rare daytime appearance. It came out of its nocturnal slumber to cool off in the intense Indian heat.

#Photography #Animals #Nature #Bats #GiantFruitBat #FlyingFox #HardikShelat

The bat is flying with its feet skimming a still body of water, leaving a gentle wake behind it. Its wings are fully spread out. They are a vivid orange color. Everything else around it is colored in dry slate greens and browns, making it stand out brightly.

The #Zed text editor (zed.dev) finally opened early access program for their #Windows builds. I suggest everyone from the #Accessibility dev community to sign up for it, hopefully (maybe!) we will be able to shape its accessibility. Many sighted people from the Apple land praise it for speed and amount of useful functions. I won't quit using #VSCode of course, but why not to have another tool in the box?

Zed — The editor for what's next

Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.
