Не трогай людей после пятидесяти. Серьезно. Это не просто поколение – это отдельная форма выживания. Крепкие, как недельный хлеб, и быстрые, как бабушкины тапочки, летящие в твою сторону с точностью бумеранга. К пяти годам они уже читали настроение матери по звуку кастрюли на плите. В семь – имели ключ на шнурке и инструкцию:
«Обед в холодильнике, разогрей, но не спали». В девять – варили борщ без рецепта, в десять – знали, как закрутить кран и убежать от соседского пса с ведром на голове. С утра до ночи на улице.
Без телефонов. Вместо вай-фая – точный маршрут: турник, река, и домой в темноте с коленями, похожими на карту боевых действий.
И однажды выжили.
Колени латали слюной и листом подорожника. А как болело – то слышали: «Не оторвалось – значит, не болит». Ели хлеб с сахаром, пили воду из садового шланга – с таким микробиомом, которому позавидовал бы любой йогурт. Аллергии не было. А если и имели – то молчали.
Знают пятнадцать способов выведения пятен от травы, смазки, крови, болота и чернил – потому что надо было прийти домой «чистым». И это еще не всё. Они прошли через:
– транзисторное радио,
– черно-белый телевизор,
– проигрыватель для винил,
– магнитофоны с катушками и кассетами,
– CD-диски и дискмены,
а теперь – держат тысячи песен в кармане… и скучают по треску кассеты, перемотанной карандашом. А получив водительское удостоверение, ехали на жигулях через всю страну – без гостиниц, кондиционера и GPS. Только дорожный атлас, где вся страна – на нескольких страницах. И доезжали. Без Google Translate. С улыбкой. И бутербродом с яйцом в багажнике. Это последнее поколение, помнящее мир без интернета, без связи, без постоянной тревоги за заряд батареи. Они знают разницу между стационарным телефоном и висевшим на шнуре в коридоре. У них были тетради с рецептами, а не приложения. А о днях рождения помнили сами. Или... не приходили. Это люди, которые:
– ремонтируют все изоляционной лентой, скрепкой и плоскогубцами,
— имели один канал по телевизору — и не скучали,
– знали, что «листать» – это не лента, а телефонный справочник,
– и верили: если не берешь трубку – значит, жив, перезвонишь. Они – другие. У них эмоциональный асбест, иммунитет из эпохи дефицита и рефлексы, отточенные на турнике. Последние настоящие ниндзя обыденности. Не трогай пятидесятилетнего. Он видел больше, прожил глубже и имеет в кармане мятные конфеты старше твоего ребенка. Он пережил детство без автокресла, без шлема и без солнцезащитного крема. Школу – без ноутбука. Молодость – без скролинга. И не ищет ответов у Google – потому что имеет инстинкт.
И несмотря на все – у него больше воспоминаний, чем у тебя – фотографий в облаке. #баян

⚠️ SCAM WARNING ⚠️

We’re getting blasted by a bot-driven barrage of accounts requesting Palestine aid.

These are the avatars being used, and account names look like this:

Mahmoud│⟪Hear Our Cries⟫
Mahmoud│⟪Feed Our Hunger⟫
Mahmoud│⟪Dry Our Tears⟫

The person in the photo may be real, but the accounts are not. They use signature spam methods.

Report, block, and DO NOT give money. Many already have. This is theft from real Palestinians.

Bill C-2 lets Canadian cops demand users' info without a warrant—and it paves the way for that info to go to U.S. government agencies. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/07/cana…

There's a CPU I'm way too familiar with thanks to Smoorez on YouTube, it's all over cheep chinese clones of iPhones and such. Guess they went for it because it was cheep to purchase and the performance is probably enough for a book reading device. But now you got me curious, I remember seeing from one demo you could select Google as an alternative text to speech, would the software pick up on other engines you install? Like the one you're probably thinking of but also on a more local note RHVoice.

- In debloater page, sort by app label (or app name) rather than package name
- Fixed freezing an app with “Remember for this app” turned on
- Fixed selecting texts in the list items due to framework bugs

Austria’s parliament has passed a law to legalise spyware for state use — despite strong opposition.

The new law would allow police to install malware on people’s phones or computers.
Officials say it will only be used to read encrypted messages, but experts are clear: there is no way to stop this malware from accessing other private data.

Civil society organisations and opposition parties have promised to challenge the law in court.

Pojďme udělat Mastodonu reklamu v podcastu Škrty! :) Kdysi jsem tu nadhodil, že bysme se mohli složit na reklamu v jednom dílu. Dneska jsem skrz to psal autorům Škrtů, kteří jsou pro. Zrovna běží kampaň na Doniu (donio.cz/skrty-2025), kde se dá za 30 tisíc koupit celá epizoda. Pome do toho! :) Třicet lidí po tisícovce bysme mohli dát dohromady, ne?
in reply to Tomáš Znamenáček

To je super napad! Abych dal kakzvane rybu na stul, tak doplatim zbytek nevybrane castky.

Za podminky, ze pokud k tomuto eventu dojde (cti: budu doplacet vice nez 0Kc), tak budu host epizody ja, @SilvieMit a Zerubabel. A bude se to natacet v Liberci (zazemi zaridime).

Plne si uvedomuju, ze kdyz uz jsem to rek, tak vysledna castka bude 29k (Zoul si netroufne couvnout) a jsem s tim v miru.

Zena me zabije.

The Farm Bill is paying farmers to grow corn we don't need, which has to be turned into HFCS and ethanol, sometimes bio-plastics (which aren't magically safe, don't buy the hype)

The corn sweat is exacerbating the heat domes. You're paying for it through suffering and higher electricity bills to try to beat the sweltering heat.

WE are bearing the cost of this stupid, stupid policy in more ways than one.

🔠 In Google’s Alphabet, C stands for control, not compliance.

That’s why with @article19, @fsfe, @HomoDigitalisGR @vrijschrift, we have filed a formal #DMA complaint vs. Alphabet.

Despite clear rules, Android users can’t uninstall pre-installed Google apps, only disable them.

This is deceptive design that limits real choice.

📣 We urge @EU_Commission to act & enforce the #digitalmarketsact.

Read the full complaint ➡️ edri.org/wp-content/uploads/20…

As you might know, we have an #Android app version of #MapComplete in the works, which makes it even easier to see and edit #OpenStreetMap

After a bit of initial testing, we are opening up the test program to our followers here on Mastodon.

If you want to join the beta testers, send an email to info@mapcomplete.org

Our community team has a new video series! "Contributing to Thunderbird" breaks down the barriers to developing, testing, translating, and supporting Thunderbird on desktop and mobile. Our first videos help you build a Thunderbird development environment on your Mac and Linux (specifically Ubuntu) machines, with a Windows video in the works:

#Thunderbird #OpenSource

as the debate about "if there are no gaps, then the video *can't* have any audio description, so it *passes* 1.2.3 and 1.2.5 automatically without needing to do anything at all" rages on, I made a little illustrative video ... youtube.com/watch?v=nZjWBjN1YF… #a11y #accessibility #barrierefreiheit

Here it is! Our metalhead.club public advert in Wacken!

Thank you very much @MountainWizard for checking it out!

If you're in Wacken today or in the next few days: Find our advert at Hauptstraße 33 and maybe take a selfie? 😉

(are we the first Mastodon instance that has publicly deployed an advert?)

`aria-label` still does not (consistently) translate.
adrianroselli.com/2019/11/aria…

Unless you only translate never-hidden content, your `aria-label`s never change, your content is an arbitrary subset of maybe only a dozen languages, and it never has a `<code>` element.

My beard seems to sufficiently disturb KYC processes for online banking and money processing accounts.

I'd kinda like to know the other side of it though. How to identify certain mask wearing individuals up to no good. Criminals in the act of committing crimes like breaking and entering or kidnapping or menacing or assault or thievery or what have you. Evidence could be gathered and burned onto the bitcoin ledger. Either it stays up forever or bitcoin goes down ;)

I can dream.

Jak jsem v predchozim postu hanil Macaly (AI agenty obecne, ale oni jsou na rane), tak tu mam dalsi zajimavost.

Vitez vibecoding challenge: unbserved.com je v zasade neefektivni wrapper nad are.na

Kdyz otevrete Unbserved tak napalite frontalni utok na CDN (CloudFront) are.na, tisice paralelnich requestu a fakticky sosate vasi plnou palbou (u me GB/min) na jejich ucet.

V Unreleased uz se na podobne AI obsahove bitvy pripravuju.
