How is it even legal to have such barbaric employment policies like this. Surely air crew should be on the clock from the moment they start security clearance, until they exit the secure area at the end of their shift. Anything else is exploitation.

I can't say enough good things about Paperback, the ebook and PDF reader written by @TheQuinbox. It's truly amazing to have a text-based PDF simply open and be readable. No screen reader optimization, no Adobe alerts, no useless controls or lack of pages in a browser. Just the text, ready in a couple seconds. It even saves your reading position. github.com/trypsynth/paperback
@menelion Hmm, I wonder if there's a way around that? Does your display show text when you navigate by heading/section, at least? If not, I can certainly at least make that happen, the screen reader feedback also output braille.
@menelion I don't currently, sorry. I'm surprised WX has that kind of problem. I thought it used standard controls, especially the C++ library. I've only ever played with WXPython.
I just started using Paperback as well, and it's very good indeed. I noticed that a PDF file I tried reading wasn't synchronizing properly. NVDA would speak one line, but my Braille display appeared to show the next line. Other than that, everything is fine.
@kjsapergia Hmm, strange. You're not the first person to report issues with Paperback and braille displays, but I'm a speech reader and the primary braille display I have is only 14 cells, so testing fixes will be slightly difficult. Certainly it's something I want to improve though

Okay #LibreOffice, a huge number of people have tables with headers that they just want to be able to sort in different ways. I've been trying to figure this out for like 20 minutes now. WHY make it so hard???
We don't deliberately "make things hard". We are a community open source project with limited resources. Some people want workflows as they've always been – some people want things to be massively simplified. We try to cater for all users but have our limits. Please consider helping the volunteers that give you a free office suite, to improve the features and documentation you use. Thank you!
@libreoffice of course, thank you for all the hard work. I’m just a bit stumped on this particular issue - which seems relevant to many, many people and is at least five, if not six, years outstanding
We understand, but we can't make features happen by magic, no matter how many people request them. We're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources.

What's this TS-12 day thing all about, you probably didn't ask?
Well, my first pro keyboard workstation, obtained when I was 16, was a used Ensoniq TS-12, which still had it's original bill-of-sales sticker on the back, from September 04, 1994.
On September 04, 2015, when my TS-12 turned 21, I sequenced this silly thing.
A guy from an Ensoniq dealer demo sample disk says "Hey, check this out!"
A long intro featuring the default sound that comes up when you turn on a newly initialized TS-12, which is called Genesis, with some other pad-like sounds is followed by the TS playing 'Happy Birthday' to itself in various styles using many of the more obvious built-in sounds, several different patch libraries, and the occasional external sample. The TS-12 eventually gets a bit drunk, because it was 21 at the time, and I'm American. After passing out, it is awoken by a fake alarm clock from it's internal wave ROM, which it throws something at from one of the ASR10 stock sample disks. At the end, the original sampled guy says "So, what do you think?"
that's wild. I had a Motif XS7 and I just could never figure out how to use it properly. So once I figured out that Reaper existed and how to properly edit midi, and realized that it took up more space than I had at the time, I sold it. Now when I hear this I know how I'd sequence it in Reaper or even in Ableton, but when I think back to the interface of the Motif I get scared. lol. I have absolutely zero clue how I'd make anything like that happen there. At all.
although to be fair with the music I make, most of my time is usually spent in some synthesizer and effects automating values in strange ways and getting it to scream at me in ways that are only questionably musical.
@talon Oh man... I lived in the Motif pattern sequencer for a long time, first with the original Motif, then the Motif XS, which, along with almost everything else I own, has been in storage for the past half decade. I have a lot of that workflow again with Ableton Move, but of course, it's sound set is much more limited.
I did a ton of junk with the Ensoniq's built-in sequencer, this being a prime example.
One of these days, I will learn how to actually use a DAW the way you're supposed to.
how? Seriously how? I learned so many menus and so many button sequences and I'd forget them, then I'd write them down but somehow I kept messing them up and ruin something... I don't even think I have any menu guides left and I definitely don't remember any of it. I do miss it though a little. Think the person who ended up with it did more with it than I ever would have, so probably better for it, but definitely do miss it.
@talon Mostly, it came from a combination of not having access to a reasonable PC-based sequencer for years after I started really getting interested in this stuff. Even when I had my Motif, the best thing going was Sonar, and I never got on with it. I learned about QWS a bit later, but never really got comfortable using it, either, and I wanted more integration with other stuff. So I just learned menus and button presses and screen layouts for that and a lot of my other outboard gear. I got really good at operating almost every aspect of the TS-12, but I never could quite figure out transwaves. It was way too easy to get lost in those screens attempting to create different events for each step, let alone building complex patterns with the up to six elements per voice (more than the Motif had.)
@RandomDamage Postal Banking is not going to happen. And we don't need ANOTHER form of money the government fully controls.
Stable coins are stable, tend to be backed by things like US treasuries (do you trust our government's bonds or not?), and they're actually regulated:
> S. 1582 would define payment stablecoin as a digital asset issued for payment or settlement and redeemable at a predetermined fixed amount (e.g., $1). Issuers would be required to hold at least one dollar of permitted reserves for every one dollar of stablecoins issued. The bill would limit permitted reserves to coins and currency, deposits held at insured banks and credit unions, short-dated Treasury bills, repurchase agreements ("repos") and reverse repos backed by Treasury bills, government money market funds, central bank reserves, and any other similar government-issued asset approved by regulators. Issuers would be restricted to using reserve assets for certain activities, including to redeem stablecoins and serve as collateral in repos and reverse repos. The bill would require federal and state regulators to issue tailored capital, liquidity, and risk management rules for federal and state stablecoin issuers, but it exempts stablecoin issuers from the regulatory capital standards applied to traditional banks.
@RandomDamage you're really simping for the government aren't you? What a weird fetish. The government is not your friend. It never has been and never will be.
@RandomDamage We need a government but we don't need them controlling our money our they'll do something crazy like put us 37 trillion dollars in debt and constantly devalue our own currency using sneaky methods that harms the 99% but continually fills the coffers of the 1%
It does mean that we need to fix thhe government, though, which isn't going to happen by adding more private interests to help siphon our money out of it
@RandomDamage the government has spent the last 100 years destroying our money and receives no consequences for doing so. But we'll just try harder to fix it next election?
How about we design a system where there ARE consequences for this behavior?
That's an excellent question, but the British proved that adding private interests to government functions is *not* the way to do it
Checks and balances was *supposed* to help, but it relied on the courts and legislature protecting their own power instead of lining up behind the executive
@RandomDamage The sterling pound maintained its purchasing power for 200 years thanks to Sir Isaac Newton and only lost its value when England took extreme measures for World War 1
@RandomDamage They might not have had to take those extreme measures for WW1 but the San Francisco earthquake in 1906 almost wiped out the English banks because nearly all of SF was insured by those banks
the gold standard was very stable. Unfortunately it couldn't grow fast enough to support the economic growth of the 20th Century, which also took out the silver standard.
But private fiat currency is *not* the answer, unless the question is "how do we give those who are already rich a more effective way to siphon money into their pockets?"
@RandomDamage Growth had nothing to do with it. Gold would just increase its purchasing power linearly with the growth of the economy. The money in your pocket would appreciate. This was a good thing.
Silver was always doomed. The Hunt brothers billionaires went bankrupt in the 80s playing a game trying to corner the market on silver but we can mine silver faster than they can buy it
Fist demands spending or risky investment, NOT saving. This is a huge problem. And then we killed pensions and replaced them with 401ks so now the entire stock market is a leech that sucks up a percentage of every American's labor through index funds and distributes it to corporations who do get away with cooking their books and destroying our economy and the workers are promised nothing in return except the dream that maybe something will be there when they get old enough to retire.
But now they want to crank retirement age to like 75 because the scheme is failing
Everything you're supporting is protecting this broken predatory system because you think government can solve it someday
on the other hand, adding private interests is just giving up.
Sure, we might not be able to fix the government, but without the government putting up at least token resistence we'll *never* get out from under The Empire of Chase Bank
no, not if the dollar is backed by something stable. It doesn't matter if Chase Bank can issue stablecoins if those coins purchasing power is backed by something scarce like gold or Bitcoin. This will act as a natural governor and limit their capabilities to act beyond their means.
With Bitcoin or something equivalent, the power to print money is fully removed from the government. It's over. No more government picking winners, no more endless materialist society, no more endless e-waste every year, no more endless wars, no more ICE getting a larger budget than most countries militaries, no more coverage beyond FDIC insurance limits (fucking SilverLake!!!!!), no more bailouts for failed banks or Freddie & Fannie, no more buying stakes in private companies like Intel, no more massive handouts to Israel...
Back to building products that last and companies focused on long term growth.
All of those changes are easily within reach if the government cannot print money and cannot control all the money.
And they'll be FORCED to tax the rich. It's the only way out.
but you *do* understand that any entity able to enforce a particular currency standard is The Government, and that especially under the current circumstances you'd best look for traps before getting too enthusiastic about any proposed solution
And for me, any deal involving cryptocurrency is going to have me burying gold somewhere secure
@RandomDamage You can just convert it before you pay your taxes? People do this all over the world every day working with multiple currencies. What is it about Americans that make them inherently unable to comprehend a multi-currency world ?
@RandomDamage You should trust that private entities will suffer real consequences if they try to cheat the system because nobody will be able to bail them out. That's how it supposed to work. Our current system abandoned those principals at least 40 years ago
@RandomDamage you can't print more Bitcoin. You can't make more gold than exists on the planet. (ignoring that hilarious new experiment the LHC did to convert a tiny bit of lead into gold)
That's how they're held accountable. When they get in too far over their heads, they fail. Nobody can create a trillion dollars out of thin air and give it to them to correct their books so they can pay their debts.
Their investors will NOT be made whole. There are risks to investing. Their customers will also not be made whole beyond something equivalent to the FDIC/NCUA insurance.
Companies and banks will have to earn trust to get customers. Not just their privacy, not just whatever new banking features or financial products they offer. Real trust that they're legit.
@RandomDamage if you want something more direct from the government: they still hold the monopoly on use of force, regardless of whether or not they control the money.
@RandomDamage Listen, I'm not going to convince you otherwise today. Maybe someday it will make more sense. But we're entering a multi-currency world whether or not you like it. So start buying and burying gold. Do what you need to do to protect yourself and your family.
@RandomDamage we're also not really in a multi-currency world as you describe when most currencies are pegged to the USD and their country's treasuries are full of US treasury bonds ...

"For decades, the phrase “Year of the Linux Desktop” has been tossed around like a tech industry punchline. But now, it’s no longer a meme—it’s a movement.
This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about momentum. GNU/Linux’s desktop share hovered below 2% for years. But since 2020, it’s been climbing fast.
From the lens of @purism this shift is more than market share—it’s a cultural awakening."

Nejvyšší soud má být garantem jednotného výkladu práva. V řadě oblastí však tuto funkci nezajišťuje, což vede k právní nejistotě. Z pohledu advokáta, který denně sleduje dopady soudních rozhodnutí na klienty, jde o problém, který nelze přehlížet.

If you're using active redundancy (e.g. LACP) as a way to deal with a connection/cable failure, make sure that the links never exceed 50% (for n = 2, or (n-1)/n) of total capacity for any significant length of time, as this means if there is a failure, the network will go to crap pretty quickly.
@feld This was inspired by seeing a network proposal to use LACP over STP to make use of the extra capacity of the redundant link. It didn't mention any monitoring to ensure network capacity in case of failure.
Je to deset let, co jsem začal používat Telegram. Za tu dobu jsem přesvědčil hodně lidí, aby ho začali používat, obhajoval jsem ho, ale v poslední době mám čím dál větší pocit, že jsem se v něm mýlil. V tomto blogpostu se pokusím vysvětlit proč.
Mně se Signal líbí, ale vadí mi na něm, že nemá webové rozhraní a zároveň má uzavřený přístup ke klientům. Dá se tedy používat jen na telefonu nebo s velmi tlustou electronovou aplikací na vybraných desktopech. To je pro mě velmi nepříjemná překážka.
Myslím, že klienty třetích stran pořád oficiálně nepodporují, ale už je minimálně tolerují, protože se jich objevilo celkem dost. Vzniká i jeden v GTK pro Linux: flathub.org/apps/de.schmidhube… Pro Android je třeba Molly, které používám já.
Nicméně s těmi klienty třetích stran je to komplikované. U takto komplexních služeb nestíhají držet krok. I u Telegramu prakticky všechny umřely a existuje jen pár forků oficiálních aplikací, které přidávají drobné funkce.
Že to nechtějí otevřít oficiálně, taky trochu chápu. Nedávno byl odhalený klient Signalu třetí strany, který měl zadní vrátka. Pak to není problém jen uživatelů takového klienta, ale i všech jejich kontaktů a dost to nabourává důvěru ve službu. Proto se nedivím, že to chtějí mít pod kontrolou včetně klientů.
Jo, taky bych velmi uvítal zpřístupnění zdokumentovaného protokolu, aby mohlo vzniknout víc klientů - mobilních, webových i CLI - a dal se Signal integrovat do již existujících aplikací. Webové rozhraní jako součást služby by bylo hezké, ale při splnění té první podmínky ani není nutné.
No, jo. Cítím to podobně. Ale ta situace u IM je obecně strašně nešťastná. Neustále mě někdo tlačí do WhatsAppu (měl jsem ho relativně krátce kvůli pár lidem před lety a pak zrušil), teď je to opravdu silné. Historicky mám Messenger, také mě to nenaplňuje štěstím. Kéž by RCS začalo hrát nějakou podstatnější roli, ale RCS aktuálně znamená více méně Google Messages. Signal? Možná, třeba zkusím. Mimochodem existuje nějaká evropská alternativa? Jsem z celého stavu IM hodně rozpačitý.
O čem aktuálně přemýšlím, je, jak do budoucna zajistit bezpečnou komunikaci pro rodinu a děti. (Tedy, nespěchá to.) Přemýšlím o nějaké vlastní Matrix instanci (s vypnutou federalizací), nebo Nextcloud talku. Ale to už asi odbočuji od tématu tvého článku.
Nextcloud Talk je fajn. A funguje spolehlivě a dobře bez nějakého nastavování. Nicméně je to řešení jen uvnitř jedné rodiny. Pokud ale časem projde něco jako chat control, tak nám možná nic jiného než něco, co zůstane na našich vlastních serverech, nezbude.
Aha, tak to je dobrá zpráva (ad Nextcloud Talk), rodina je přesně můj use case. Chat control, to pak aby člověk vůbec zvažoval, jestli podobný typ služeb používat... (Říkám si, nakolik v Dánsku nechápou všechny možné implikace, nebo si spíš ani nedovedou ve vlastním civilizačním kontextu představit, že by toho někdo mohl zneužívat, tipuji druhou možnost.) A ano, provoz na vlastním serveru by byla asi jediná volba.
Hmm, ja tohle moc nechapu. Co je spatne na Matrix? Jestli se nepletu, tak: i) nekolik otevrenych implementaci serveru, ii) nekolik otevrenych implementaci klientu pro ruzna zarizeni (nb, mobil, web), iii) otevrena specifikace protokolu, iv) protokol je federovany. Jakykoli IM bez tohohle jednoduse nedosahuje kvalit #matrix (v dlouhodobem horizontu, a samozrejme IMO).
jednoduchá odpověď: UX. Já proti Matrixu nic nemám, sám ho používám, ale prostě to není tak vyladěné a jednoduché, abych to mohl dát běžnému uživateli a ten si s tím sám poradil. Tohle člověku z pohledu geeka nedojde, dokud to skutečně nezkusí. Už jen odemykání šifrovaných zpráv na nově připojeném klientu je opruz, který by třeba moje máti nedala; přitom Signal zvládá bez problémů, protože ten není složitější než WhatsApp nebo Telegram. Matrix bohužel je.
Ja nejsem UX odbornik, ale aplikace pro Matrix jsou aplikace pro posilani zprav a videohovory, ne? Kolikrat nongeek pouzije odemykani sifrovani zprav na nove pripojenem klientu?
Osobne si myslim, ze ochrana soukromi a zaruky dlouhodobe udrzitelnosti (licence, implementace) jsou dulezitejsi...
řekl bych, že i běžní uživatele to použijí často. I pro ně je totiž běžné mít takovou službu hned na několika zařízeních: mobil, tablet, domácí počítač, pracovní notebook...
Jinak co přesně je na Signalu špatně z pohledu licence?
Já mám tedy klient pro Signal nainstalovaný z F-Droidu: @mollyim 😉 Jinak tu federaci beru, to je výhoda. Nicméně když se člověk podívá trochu detailněji na architekturu té služby, tak zjistí, že co se týče bezpečnosti a soukromí, je na tom Signal citelně lépe než Matrix. Kolik to generuje nešifrovaných metadat, jak to pracuje se seznamy kontaktů atd. Nicméně nemám potřebu nikoho přesvědčovat o Signalu na úkor Matrixu. Obě služby jsou OK a pokud někomu víc vyhovuje Matrix, za mě vše v pořádku.
Přiznám se, že jsem vyměkl a používám verzi, která posílá notifikace přes servery Googlu. Molly totiž neumí Unified Push, takže jediný způsob, jak dostávat notifikace v reálném čase, je, že ta aplikace běží neustále na pozadí.
Getting Molly into the official F-Droid repo has been a long journey. Check out this thread if you’re curious: gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues…
It was officially requested back in late 2022. We're doing our best to make it happen someday. The latest blocker: the RingRTC library, reproducible and on Maven Central, is almost done.
Tak jsem prošel pár komentářů issue na GitLab F-Droidu co sdílí @mollyim a Signal mě moc nepřesvědčil.
Serverová část je pod AGPL, ale ne celá. Oficiální klient se o F-Droid nejspíš ani nesnaží a neoficiální s tím má problémy. (Ano, používám F-Droid jako míru pro otevřenost Android aplikací.)
Nejsem si jistý, jak je to s otevřeností samotného protokolu.
Signal určitě pořád lepší než Telegram nebo WhatsApp, ale ne tak dobrý jako Matrix.
Lidi, proti kterym je chat control namiren, samozrejme taky prejdou na vlastni servery. Takze dalsi krok bude, ze do telefonu nedostanete aplikaci ktera nebude chat control podporovat. To je presne to co ted google chysta a snazi se prejmenovat instalaci aplikaci na "side loading", aby to lide snaze prijali jako neco spatneho.
Pak lidi začnou používat webové klienty, načež bude snaha dostat to skenování obsahu i do webových prohlížečů, které se bez toho nedostanou do oficiálních obchodů... Je potřeba být ve střehu, ale nejsem z toho až tak nervózní. Ten odpor je proti tomu tak velký, že si nemyslím, že tohle všechno budou schopní zavést.
To hlasování jen utváří názor Rady EU. Pak se to musí schválit v parlamentu EU, kde to v současné podobě nemá šanci. A i kdyby to prošlo, muselo by to obstát před evropským soudem. To by bylo jen jedno kolo toho utužování. Není to radno podceňovat, ale taky nepanikařím. Email od Gregorové, kde ten legislativní proces podobně popisovala, mě trochu uklidnil.
na přečtení článku se teprve chystám, ale taky jsem původně celou rodinu natáhl na Telegram, jim to bylo jedno a já už ho používal kvůli robotům napojeným na chytrou domácnost. Náznaků, že Telegram není úplně dobrá volba bylo poslední dobou dost, ale na Signal jsem první půlku rodiny přetáhl teprve na jaře. Hodně velký zádrhel bylo, že moje mamka nemůže mít fotky vnoučat jak v telefonu, tak v tabletu. Skoro to vypadalo, že budu muset najít jiný IM, ale pak se a tím smířila
My jsme to s manželkou roky používali na každodenní výměnu fotek, ono to moc pěkně funguje i jako galerie; dnes jich tam máme několik tisíc. Časovaná bomba 🙈
Nicméně pokud má babička alespoň na jednom z těch dvou zařízení Android, má to řešení. Aplikace @mollyim (fork Signalu s různými bezpečnostními zlepšeními) se dokáže připojit jako další zařízení. Na jednom mobilním zařízení může být Signal v podobě hlavního klienta a na druhém Molly v podobě připojeného.
Já nedávno asi po 15 letech začal znovu používat XMPP. A světe div se, ono to už umí E2E šifrování a neztrácejí se zprávy poslané z mobilu se špatnou konektivitou. K tomu navíc je to federované, dá se to self-hostovat, atd. Možná je na čase dát XMPP druhou šanci.
Jo, slyšel jsem na to v poslední době reference. Nakonec to bude ještě pěkně fungovat včetně všech očekávaných funkcí, jen teda o 15 let později, než jsme potřebovali. Ale třeba ještě zažije comeback. Nextcloud Talk se taky rozhodli postavit na XMPP.
Jasně. S nejbližší rodinou jedem po XMPP a je to nádherně jednoduché na hostování. Umí to vše co potřebujem. Poslíláme jen textovky a obrázky, maxilmálně nějaký file. V single a multi chatu. Stačí. Umí to i volat ale to streamy jsou trochu chatrné. Mohu doporučit.
Telegram jsem nikdy nemusel, ale bohužel česká #Meshtastic komunita se drží jen na něm, takže jsem si účet nakonec založil také. Nějakou "killer social feature" má holt každá appka. Messenger mám proto, že přes něj komunikují členové obecní komise, na WhatsApp posílala fotky škola/školka a různé kroužky, Telegram viz nahoře. Nemám takovou moc, abych sepsul ve skupině 20 cizích lidí, ať se vykašlou na Telegram/FB/WhatsApp a nainstalují Element. 😄
Já myslím, že na tyhle věci to je úplně v pohodě. V takových skupinách nečekám žádné soukromí stejně, jako ho nečekám tady na Fediverse. Telegram podle všeho uživatele nesleduje, neprodává jejich data inzerentům. Jen prostě ta architektura a transparentnost služby nejsou dost dobré na to, abych tomu věřil se soukromými zprávami. Když to nezneužije Telegram, může kdokoliv jiný.

Uma ovelha muito especial originaria da Namíbia (dai o nome, já que o país já foi conhecido como Damaraland). A principal característica da raça é um depósito de gordura na cauda que serve de reserva energética para períodos de escassez, o que deu a ela o carinhoso apelido de Rabo Largo aqui no Brasil.
O carneiro metaleiro 🤘 É uma raça rara, originária da Ilha de Man, o que fez que ela ficasse (praticamente) inalterada desde a sua origem. Seu nome significa algo como "velo marrom" e sua característica mais marcante são seus chifres múltiplos, podendo ter de 2 a 5 (mais comumente 2 ou 4).
Uma raça britânica bem tradicional, que tem por características mais marcantes as orelhinhas eretas e um perfil facial bem côncavo (pra mim ela lembra um coelho kkkkk), bem como a ausência de chifres e uma cabeça deslanada. Essa raça é a que aparece no filme sendo pastoreada pelo Babe, o porquinho atrapalhado!
A ovelha de chapinha Nativa da península arábica, mais especificamente da região de Najd, de onde herdou seu nome. As suas principais características são uma pelagem lisa, um rosto bastante convexo e o grande porte, com uma média de altura de 86 centímetros, é considerada na Árabia Saudita como a 'miss' das ovelhas (eu particularmente acho meio exótica essa beleza dela).
A ovelha caramelo (tem a variedade branca também), tem como seu (possível) centro de origem, o município de Morada Nova no Ceará (Ahá!), alguns autores dizem que descendem de carneiros portugueses, outros que seus ascendentes são africanos, mas provavelmente é uma mistura de raças das duas origens e ninguém tem certeza de nadaaa kkkkkkk Pra mim é a raça mais brasileira que tem.
A ovelha potiguar! A raça foi registrada esse ano e, tecnicamente, é uma ovelha 100% BR, cruzamento das raças Somalis Brasileiro, Morada Nova e Bergamácia Brasileira. Suas principais características são a pelagem branca no corpo e preta na cabeça, com uma marca branca que lembra uma seta apontando para baixo na testa (sim, tal qual o avatar Aang).
A ovelhinha de pelúcia é original da região (a essa altura você já imagina, né) de Valais, na Suíça, havendo registros dela desde o século XV. Sua principal característica é ser extremamente fofinha, além de ter o focinho recoberto de pelos pretos (na verdade, é o rosto) em contraste com uma lã branca em quase todo resto do corpo e por fim chifres espiralados!
