"giants, standing on the shoulders of"

While waiting for the video to become available. I have no idea when that will happen.

A new article! And it's not explicitly political and probably safe to share with your boss, more or less.

Български стартов пакет за мастодон

Радвам се да обявя първия български starter pack (като в bsky). Това е един списък с активни българи и (засега само една) българка, които можете да следвате, ако общността ви интересува. Повечето постове пак са си на английски, ама друго си е.

Както обикновено започваме с малко, но с големи амбиции. Ако искате и вие да бъдете включени в пакета, пишете под този пост

@tardis аз пуснах feddit.bg само, за да мога от масто да поствам в него като групи, подобно на a.gup.pe, ако си попадала. И тук съм тагнал една такава група/общност. Групите ме кефят, защото се пише по интереси, а не наред.

Но следващия проблем, с който се сблъсках - няма с кого да си пиша :D

Та така се озовахме тук...

Oops, хаха. Е, поне мога да досаждам, понеже няма много за работене тази седмица. Пък и работя от вкъщи. Не че мога да се добера до столицата. :D Те групите се правят да, малко ги тагваш постоянно, не ми харесва, ама какво да се прави?

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

According to MAGA, Dr. Lisa Cook was unqualified anyway.

By "unqualified" they mean that she was a Black woman Spelman Grad, Masters from Oxford, PhD from UC Berkeley, expert in economics, history, and philosophy. But... she's never been a Fox News host! So they must have hired her because "woke!"🤡

Kam s poznámkama?


Pokud je klíčovým atributem pro poznámkovou aplikaci – jednoduchost bez zbytečných klikátek, a funkcí – markdown formátování, bez dalších zbytečností – zálohování offline, synchronizace lokální složky či rovnou do cloudu – opensourcemulti-platformní pro Android, iOS, Mac, Linux, Windows

pak bych tu měl jeden tip Aplikaci Joplin používám už docela dost dlouho a funguje naprosto skvěle. Rozhodně bych ji dal alespoň šanci. K dalším vychytávkám, které jsem si oblíbil a používám jsou například profily, import/export všemožných formátů, nebo pokud budete používat nativní Joplin server pro synchronizaci (ať už selfhosted, nebo hosted u autora), můžete poznámku i veřejně publikovat. Díky @archos@mastodon.arch-linux.cz a Oscloud.cz pak může nasdílet svoji poznámku komukoliv. Možnost zašifrování synchronizovaných poznámek je samozřejmostí.

A pokud jde o hostování Joplin serveru a nechcete zaplatit pár korun autorovy, ale rádi by jste si funkce serveru vyzkoušeli a nemáte možnosti nebo znalosti hostovat vlastní, můžete požádat na Oscloud.cz o účet zdarma. Za mě palec nahoru za to, co dělají a pokud by jste byli spokojeni, bylo by fajn, jim na provoz nějakou tou korunou i přispět.

some nordic dude has done a remix of Astor Piazzola’s VERANO PORTEÑO and am feeling a way. that piece is perfection; why sully it with your EDM wankings 😠😡😒

here’s my preferred version, because it was recorded in one afternoon, at the Central Park bandshell and i was there, mesmerized by the whole performance.

just pretend you hear me hooting and hollering after each piece… cuz i was 😋

here's a real chiptune: Fly Me to the Moon by Bart Howard, arranged for ATtiny85 microcontroller by PROTODOME, 2020.

This was recorded from a tiny 8-pin micro-controller powered by a coin cell battery.

Bounce, the tool that lets you migrate your social graph between protocols, is now live in Beta! Today, we're launching one direction: ATProto to ActivityPub. We're so excited to get this in people's hands and to see what it means for the future of taking control of our social graphs from platforms.

Here's what you need to know about what we're launching today:

The only reason I was able to make a credit card payment recently is because I was able to pay as a guest. I no longer have access to my transaction history, balance information, etc. The reason: having to verify my identification. More and more people are resorting to the selfie-ID scan method to verify identity. Problem: These places require that you take a short video of yourself and follow an animation to get the angle of your face right, which is nigh impossible for totally blind people to do independently. Many of these companies that are resorting to this method are not providing another alternative to get this done. We might be able to get a hold of customer service by phone if we're lucky, chat bot if not... Anyone agree chat bots aren't helpful with such things? Well guess what? They're not. If we can get a hold of customer service, we'll have to fax or mail in our verification. WTF happened to just sending a code via text?

"I used AI today. I had to get a briefing on Bill C-27, a piece of legislation from a few years ago that has to do with privacy and data. I uploaded it to Google NotebookLM, asked the software to create a podcast and listened to it on the 15-minute drive to my constituency office. Let me just see if it’s still on my phone. It’s amazing when you hear it. I’ll connect to a speaker."

***** Google's plans to restrict sideloading on Android are an authoritarian wet dream come true *****

Let me be really clear about how horrifically dangerous #Google's plans are to restrict #Android sideloading to "verified developers" (that is, entities for which Google has full verified identity and associated information that they could hand over to authorities on demand).

This means that even though you own your Android device, you cannot install apps obtained from ANY source (except perhaps apps you build yourself that will only be permitted to run on your own device) unless Google knows pretty much everything about who created that app.

The ways that this could be abused are so numerous I won't even start listing them here, other than to note that it is absolutely horrific overreach by Google and at least appears to be Google bending over for abusive government demands, and could put already vulnerable individuals and groups at even more risk.

Absolutely disgusting.
