Three days before the end of the vacation here, I finally figured out how to get the Norwegian kartverket tile maps to display in osmand. Better late than never I guess, but this would have been really useful on a hiking trip a few days ago 🙃.
The details are here but this was somehow really hard to find: cache.kartverket.no/
I love reading about the Apollo era, and James Lovell is always written about by everyone very fondly, sometimes by his ironic nickname, "Shaky".
When you're in that much of a pressure cooker environment and basically everyone still likes you, that speaks volumes about your character.
Rest well, Jim. [gift link] wapo.st/3UngXpP

"#Israel’s war on #Gaza has killed more than 61,000 Palestinians. Local hospitals said at least 42 have been killed today. Of those, at least 13 were said to be trying to get aid in an Israeli military zone in southern Gaza. Another two were killed on roads leading to nearby sites run by the Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, according to Nasser Hospital."

#debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
I'm new to the @debian game.
I just saw in the documentation "Upgrades to Debian 13 "trixie" from the previous release, Debian 12 "bookworm", are automatically handled by the APT package management tool for most configurations. "
However, my debian didn't offer me upgrade in any way. Do I have to install a specific upgrade package?
Currently I'm using a standard installation based on KDE.
Or is upgrade only supported in gnome stock software packages?
Can anyone help? #Followerpower

Jsem měl dneska na zahrádce zajímavou debatu se sousdem. 😄
- Soused: Tak co, taky jdete dneska něco dělat?
+ Já: Jo, jo. Potřebuju odvízt tenhle bordel (myšleno větve, plevel a trávu) na sběrák.
- *Podívá se na moje auto* Jak?
+ No, sklopím sedadla, vystelu to plachtou a naházím to tam. Pohoda.
- Vždyť si to zašipiníte, ne?
+ Ne, já si tu plachtu zaháknu ke stropu a pak to naprostou většinu pochytí. Nezůstane tam víc bordelu než po běžný jízdě se psem. Už jsem to takhle párkrát vezl. (Viz mamutovo.cz/@Razemix/114274591…)
- No jo, ale stejně… A nemůžete si třeba půjčit vozík?
+ Nemám tažný. Ale fakt v pohodě, mám to vyzkoušený.
- No a nechcete to spíš spálit?
+ No, ono to není úplně suchý. A tyhle věci by se stejně už neměly pálit.
- No jo, tak jak myslíte…
Já jako chápu, že chce pomoct, ale stejně… 🙃 A kdybych to chtěl pálit, tak musím počkat, až to pořádně vyschne, a stejně bych to musel ručně/vidlema brát a někam přenášet. A jestli si mám vybrat mezi tím to dát do auta a na sběráku to (zadarmo!) vyklopit nebo stát v létě u žhnoucího sudu, tak mám docela jasno. 😄

With agentic AI contributing to the AI hype-cycle, I've been giving it some thought from the point of view of a disabled person, and also as an accessibility specialist who's already witnessing the arrival of the agentic web first-hand:

Imagine being in a department store that sells clothes from multiple brands and having a personal shopping assistant to help you select the clothes you want to buy.TetraLogical
@jcsteh @sitcom_nemesis Even imagining a world where agentic is approaching half of my interactions turns me into that guy from the Simpsons who goes *hiccup* "kill me", *hiccup* "kill me".
But without the hiccups.
Using a Rode Wireless Pro microphone which I magnetically attached to the cabin ceiling speaker, I captured some of the mandatory announcements that you hear at some point during the afternoon.

A lot of people benefit from #Python , many lives have been changed. But very few consider giving something back or paying it forward.
Here are some of my thoughts on the matter:

If you have benefited from Python, please consider paying it forward by supporting communities and events that you care about. Or by supporting the PSF directly.

Oops! The Times has had to issue an embarrassing correction over supposedly "sluggish" EV sales 😳
❌ It said EV sales to private buyers fell 10.8% this yr
✅They actually GREW…by 62%
Yet Times articles still claim a "big fall", "collapse" & "slide" in private EV sales 🤔

"With huge waiting lists, public demand for allotments is clear. What’s needed now is political will, and an ability to reimagine cities not just as places to live and work, but as places to grow.
Because as Corbyn warned: once these spaces are lost, they’re rarely replaced"

This is, incidentally, the main reason US corporations resist the introduction of a proper state health care system, even though it is clear that it would be cheaper than the insurances costs for them. They choose the more expensive option - lose money - but what they really want is workers totally dependent on their jobs.
It's also the reason they ignore the many proofs that a social safety net is cheaper than dealing with the problems arising from not having one - for example simply giving people homes is cheaper than dealing with homeless people in other ways - but it takes away the fear of losing your home,, and what bosses want most is dependent, compliant workers.
