Last day enjoying this calendar as wallpaper on my second monitor in the office. It's one of my fave shots. Good memory of a nice evening spent with mates.
Also features in this article on my blog:
Any micro-optimization junkies out there? We need an integer implementation of PIXMAN_OP_SATURATE, please 😃
gitlab.freedesktop.org/pixman/…
If you compare _pixman_setup_combiner_functions_32 and _pixman_setup_combiner_functions_float, you'll see that there is no integer version of PIXMAN_OP_SATURATE and if falls back to floats. We found this...GitLab
my next few months working on Plasma accessibility will involve:
- Touch gestures for desktop zoom
- Individual zoom level and tracking for each display on multi-display systems (if you enable it, some users may prefer it acting like one giant screen)
- Shape-aware upscaling for extreme zoom levels. Makes text appear far less blurry. I'll turn it off by default.
Paperback 0.2 is out! What's new:
• Added markdown document support!
• Added PDF document support, including the ability to navigate between pages!
• Added keystrokes for navigating by headings in HTML content, including epub books and markdown documents. These keystrokes were designed to work similar to a screen reader.
• Fixed loading epubs with URL-encoded filenames in their manifests.
• Fixed loading epub 3 books with XHTML embedded inside of them.
• A message is now spoken if the document doesn’t support a table of contents or sections, as opposed to the menu items being disabled.
• Added a recent documents menu! It currently stores your last 10 opened documents, and pressing enter on one will open it for reading.
• Completely rewrote the Find dialog, making it much simpler to use, while also adding a history of your last 25 searches and regular expression support!
• Previously opened documents are now remembered across application restarts. This is configurable through the new options item in the tools menu.
• Added shift+f1 to open the readme directly in Paperback itself.

I upgraded to a Pixel 10 Pro because the promos made it super cheap for me—and honestly, Pixelsnap (Qi2/MagSafe) without a case. I disable all the AI features I can on my Google Account, so none of that new stuff interests me, but there *are* a handful of new things I’ve seen literally nobody mention in “reviews” or sales pages. I’ll compile them here in this thread for anyone interested.

@raspbeguy I’m wondering the same thing.
I suspect it changed git home? (Github has more peoples already there, so they are more eager to contribute since they already have an account)
The other possibility is curl suddenly made some noise (article, included by default in a popular software or distribution, …).

Před pár roky jsem u nás při přerovnávání dřeva objevil kudlanku. Měl jsem z toho vánoce, protože jsem do té doby naživo asi žádnou neviděl, nebo možná jo a zapomněl :)
Dnes jsem ničil s kosou trávu, kterou se nechce jíst ovcím a i přesto, že nebylo moc času na koukání jsem zahlídl kudlanek hned šest, nádhera.

Ok, so if the correct definition of anarchy is that everyone is equal and everyone can be heard -- how is this functionally different than a direct democracy?
And more realistically -- how can everyone's voices be heard in a meaningful way that scales with the population?
Is there a browser on #Linux whose PWAs don't suck? By "not suck", I mean "don't ever forget the app homepage and make me navigate there" and "don't ignore my use-native-titlebar setting".

Mazda si nechala patentovat šestidobý motor. V muzeu technologických zajímavostí zapomenutých značek se bude určitě vyjímat až Changan začne na svá auta dávat i své logo. Proč to ale zmiňuji. Ten motor umí oddělovat a zachytávat uhlík, tzn. žádné CO2 z motoru nejde, ale občas by se musel někde vysypat. Prý toho jsou až desítky kg na nádrž paliva. A teď přijde diskuse, kde borec řeší, kam by se to vyhazovalo a ani ho nenapadne, že to teď každý den dýchá.

S nastupující dobou elektrickou už moc často nepíšeme o novém druhu spalovacího motoru. Zásobárnou nových nápadů, jak jej udržet při životě déle, je Mazda, která si nově patentovala šestitaktní motor.Michal Dokoupil (Auto.cz)
Elektricky pohon je cistsi... pokud se elektrina nevyrabi z uhli.
Ale me zajimalo jak je to s tou ucinnosti... Dle robota by ten sestitakt vyuzil jen 40% energie z paliva, coz mi prijde jako maly problem :
When burning gasoline, how much energy comes from H -> H20 and how much from C -> CO2?


ChatGPT said:

Thought for 50s
Short answer (using gasoline ≈ octane, C₈H₁₈):
About 41% of the fuel’s energy comes from H → H₂O
About 59% comes from C → CO₂
@pavel @Petr90 To mi přijde trochu posunuté v neprospěch EV. Moderní uhelné elektrárny mají uhlíkovou intenzitu 0,8 kg/kWh. Taky se mi nechce moc věřit, že s čistým benzínem, který má podobný výkon jako EV, se dá jezdit za 6l/100 km. Náš benzín měl papírově 6,2 l, za nejlepších podmínek jezdil za 7 a reálně ta spotřeba byla kolem 8. Zato u EV máme reálnou dlouhodobou spotřebu 16 kWh/100 km a to nemám zdaleka nejúspornější EV a manželka to dost honí, já jezdím na spotřebu a kolem 15 kWh/100km.
Jinak já poslední 4 měsíce jezdím za 0,55 kg CO2/100 km. 🙂
@sesivany @pavel @Petr90 Vygooglil jsem 0.8 až 1.2, počítal jsem 1 kg. S 0.8 to je samozřejmě o kousek lepší.
Naše Mazda uměla jezdit za 6l/100km. Po okreskách a fakt klidnou jízdou. Tesla ale umí v takových podmínkách 13 kWh/100km, takže záleží jak se to počítá. Tam kde měla Mazda na dálnici 10l/100 (23 kg CO2), tak Tesle stačí 23 kWh/100 (18-23 kg CO2 z uhlí, 11 kg z aktuálního mixu).
Dá se to spočítat tak aby vyšlo obojí :)
@pavel @Petr90 Ony jsou nějaké ztráty i v přenosové soustavě a při nabíjení, takže se asi dá říct, že to vyjde šulnul, ale pro EV je to ta nejhorší možná varianta, pro ICE standard.
Ale jak jsi psal, varianta, že auto jezdí čistě na uhlí, je nereálná. I v tom Polsku, které závisí při výrobě elektřiny na uhlí zdaleka nejvíc z celé Evropy, je uhlíková intenzita 0,7 kg/kWh. U nás jsme na 2/3.

Last night at karaoke, one of the regulars did one of her usual songs, "Wonder" by Natalie Merchant. Am I wrong to find this song offensive? Here's what Wikipedia says about its origin:
> In a BBC Mastertapes interview, Merchant said the song "... was about a child born with a congenital disease," twins she had known personally. It was later found out that the twins had epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic condition that results in easy blistering of the skin and mucous membranes.
