Dneska máme poslední den dovolené. Vyrazili jsme na vrch Hochwurzen, nahoru lanovkou a dolu tříkolkami 😎 Výhled z 1820 metrů je pořád krásný. S @hana #Dovolena #Hochwurzen #Alps #Nature #Mountains
Morning all, well, that’s one human drain of a person got rid of and they won’t be let back in this time! I’m up, had my breakfast and a good cup of tea, listened to some great music. I hope you have a lovely day!
Oof, that sounds like bleh. Seriously, sometimes people can be real big idiots, unaware of their actions. I'm here if you need someone to listen, or you know just a person you can always reach out too. And a hug for you. :)
Try Codeberg — it's Git, but based in Germany (Europe), without all of Microsoft's nonsense. They're also on the Fediverse: @Codeberg.
But wait — it gets better!
Codeberg is open source, and you can even host your own instance. The software is called Forgejo, built by the same folks behind Codeberg, and they're on the Fediverse too: @forgejo.
Unfollowing, blocking, all that stuff is so hard on Mona. If you have another mastodon client on a computer such as tweescake or TWBlue, it is much easier to do. I think Mona respects the ones you block on another client.
OK, so in Mona, if you use your rotor and swipe down to view links, it will bring up their profile as one of the options. Tap on that, then go to the area where it says "following" or "you follow each other" and where it shows their profile and follower count. Tap on that. There is where you find block/unfollow. Good luck
I'm one of three finalists for an award next Friday together with @engstromjimmy and @bagder (I'm obviously going to lose), and the dress code is "gala". Does that mean I need to get a smoking or something, or should I just wing it like I usually do, yolo/hobo style?
Massive Angriffe auf Ukraine - Regierungsgebäude in Kiew brennt
Nach schweren Angriffen ist eines der wichtigsten Regierungsgebäude in Kiew in Brand geraten. Noch ist unklar, ob der Kreml gezielt den Sitz des Ministerkabinetts ins Visier genommen hat. Mindestens drei Menschen wurden getötet.
I've been told ESA, the European Space Agency, spends 250 million euros a year on Amazon cloud services. Today, I received an administrative email from ESA, and it featured an embedded **1.6 megabyte** image as a footer celebrating their 50th birthday, in 4137x953 pixels resolution. Perhaps that's why their cloud bill is so tremendous. A scaled version:
⛏️ Včera byl v Sokolově Den horníků. Na kolotočích narváno už od pátku, všichni statečně bojují s drahotou – trdelník za 150, klobása za 200 a pivko za kilo 🍺. Horníci pochodují v uniformě, mezi tím projede dodávka ANO s heslem, že „bude líp“ asi s Vildumetzovou nebo s kým 🤷 A večer hulákání pod okny až do půlnoci.
A fakt si nedovedu představit, jak by to vypadalo, kdyby nebyla ta „Fialova drahota“… 😅
@mkyral@mastodonczech.czAle prd – jsou jen nenažraný a chtěli by ještě víc. Sestra létá třikrát ročně do Egypta, ale nejvíc jí vadí, že zrušili slevu na autobus 🤦🏻♂️
Na poslední chvíli to nestojí tolik– kolikrát vezmou pro dva za 20 000 . Ale mě by to hlavně ani nebavilo, pořád dokola Egypt. Jsou sami dva, děti už velký… vůbec nechápu to jejich uvažování 🤷♂️.
Ať si lítají kolikrát chtějí, to je mi jedno. Ale jak pořád nadávají… no radši se nebudu rozčilovat
@mkyral Dřív jsem tyhle lidi, co jezdí pořád na stejný místo nechápal. Jenže pak jsem to začal dělat taky a už to chápu. Amsterdam jsem si zamiloval. Pokaždé je to trochu jiné, pokaždé najdu něco nového. A taky střídám roční období, ale na jaře a v zimě jsem tam tam ale ještě nebyl. Pořád jsem ani nestihl navštívit všechno - některá muzea, tulipánový park Keukenhof, zúčastnit se Dne krále, zažít Amsterdam Pride ... taky bruslení na kanálech nebo oslavit Silvestr v Amsterdamu…
#audiopub Just gained a big update! We finally now have a notifications system, so you’ll know imediately when something’s happening on audios you're interested in! You automatically get notifications for events related to your own uploads, but if there is an audio by someone else you're interested in, click the follow notifications button for that audio. Notification badges will appear in the title and the notifications link if you have unread notifications. It will automatically update as you get more notifications, without the need to refresh the page! So if you just keep the site open you could just glance at it every now and then and stay completely up to date. Go check it out, and enjoy the peace of mind of not having to chase down your own comment threads anymore ❤️
I have a question about the NLS DA2 player regarding the order of items on the NLS wish list, as presented by the player. Is there an Email discussion list for DA2 users, preferably with some NLS staff or people knowledgeable about the firmware? Please boost for reach. Thanks.
Tech accessibility question: do you know of a resource to help an adult use an ipad and browse the Internet safely for the very first time? Something pitched at an absolute first time computer toucher, like we used to see all the time in the 80s: instructions that assume you have never seen a home use computer before.
This person has had almost no exposure to any kind of computer, not even an ATM or a smart phone (think long term incarcerated, but not). They have never been on the Internet.
They need to use the basic functionality of a new ipad and generally stay safe online. They need to learn this very fast because they need to do urgent practical things online. They live overseas.
Edit: they are not able to leave their house at the moment. So a visit to a local library is not possible, but we're exploring local library resources.
My wife accidentally left a tote bag with her laptop in it in the middle of a crowded park in Manhattan yesterday evening for 2.5 hours, then went back and found it untouched exactly where she left it. I don’t know how we’re gonna make it if the National Guard doesn’t get here soon
@jfayre@mstdn.ca I play through the New York Times Games app, NYTGames. Either that, or through their web site. There are tons of Wordle games available, and the NYT one is the official one.
@jfayre@mstdn.ca I doesn't say the color of the tiles, but it should be telling you which letters are correct, in the wrong place, or not part of the word.
Want to create a direct download link to a Google Drive file? It's a bit more involved than Dropbox's change dl=0 to dl=1, but it's possible. Most Google Drive links take the form of "drive.google.com/file/d/a-bunc…," though "/view?usp=sharing" isn't always present. To make a direct link to a Google Drive file, change "/file/d/" to "/uc?id=" without the quotes, and remove the "/view?usp=sharing" at the end if it exists. For example, if you want to get a direct link to this test file, located at drive.google.com/file/d/1SqDH0…, you would change the link to drive.google.com/uc?id=1SqDH0T…. Note that on large files, you will still have to click the download anyway button when Google tells you it can't scan the file for viruses, but it's much more direct than the Google Drive interface.
Re: last boost (mindly.social/@Tamasg/11515970…), yes, it's a rant, but I'm amplifying it because if desktop Linux is going to be reliably accessible to blind people, there needs to be a solution to the kinds of problems reported in this post. To all of my followers from the free desktop community, please don't be defensive in your replies. This is an experience that a user had. We should figure out what to do about it.
This Linux "what session owns what process" crap is, I swear, its biggest downfall. Oh, lightDM now owns your pipewire server socket because it started it first? Oh! No Orca for you then, sorry, it can't be started on a Bluetooth device, because then that Pipewire session grabbed the BlueZ service and poof it's now the one connecting to your headphones and its audio socket. Fuck Linux. Fuck it with a big, giant, wide, sharp cactus today.

Volvo (and Polestar) are in crisis mode as their flagship cars are plagued by software problems.
It’s said that car companies don’t “understand” software, but the larger issue is that they don’t *appreciate* software.
I mean, they don’t understand leather tanning or high-end speaker design either, but that doesn’t stop them from sourcing premium materials and great sound systems. But software is always bought from the lowest bidder (Infosys in the Volvo/Polestar case)
Volvo's EVs, including its flagship EX90, are riddled with software bugs. Its CEO says the automakers is focusing on fixing these as quickly as possible.
This is in no way limited to the automotive industry, of course. Hardly anyone appreciates software. Software companies usually don’t either! That’s why we have shit like the Coinbase CEO mandating that by October 50% of their software must be written by AI.
Haha, I remember reading an interview with somebody from the software side in Nokia, Symbian 40 days. They said that the company venerated their hardware designers but didn’t care at all about their software. The example they gave was that they were informed 1 week before new models’ launch that the RAM had been halved :D
I reckon it'll be around 2040 at the earliest until the USA is safe for tourists to visit again. There's probably another 8-10 years of them going down the right-wing fascist route, followed by several years of reflection and recompense.

Well, that was a "productive" Saturday evening! I needed to combine some smart home data and made a mistake by asking the #AI to suggest some approaches. After two hours of going down blind alleys and being misled by the AI with things like old or completely made-up API endpoints, I finally studied the documentation and realised it was not the right path. I then did some old-school thinking and searching, found an open-source library on GitHub that did exactly what I needed, and solved the problem in 20 minutes.
It's funny how #AI becomes completely clueless when it runs out of the 5 most discussed problems on forums associated with the used software. Then it just starts running round in circles and suggesting the same things over and over again. You're very quickly on your own.

Has anyone of you ever used @biscuitauth and implemented it in a web project? Can you omit this or should I stick to standards or use other alternatives?
Anthropic has settled its lawsuit with authors for 1.5B$. Which is 50% of their actual annual revenues (although the amount still have to be validated by a juge, and might be higher).
It’s 3000$ per book they stole, and represent only a fraction of of the number of books they stole.
That they are ready to pay this amount of money tells a lot.
Imagine if before every journey you had to give 48 hours notice to do it. That's the reality for disabled people across many countries. Wanna take a train? Gotta book the assistance 24-48 hours in advance. Relative gone into hospital and you need to go see them? Tough, should have planned in advance.
This is why I am so vocal about level access trains and working lifts. If we design accessibility into our infrastructure, it becomes more useful to more people.
TIL that the assistance service at Barcelona-Sants station is only available if prebooked 48h in advance, because they allocate staff each day based on the requested demand.

And of course Neo Store now with integrated download stats 😃
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
Europe reveals that waste disposal companies from Germany, Austria and Italy continue to export old tyres and other waste – in some cases toxic – to the Czech Republic.
Over the past two decades, millions of tonnes of waste have been dumped in Mydlovary – including significant volumes from neighbouring Germany, a country championed for its waste separation and recycling systems. According to the managing director of one German waste disposal company, Mydlovary is ‘the biggest hole in Europe’ for rubbish dumping.
Excited to announce #Catima is in the top 5% of most popular apps on #IzzyOnDroid, ranking place 62 of 1307.
Even more excited to see our new IzzyOnDroid download statistics, supported by #NLNet, land in #NeoStore!
Curious as to how it works? It's actually pretty simple! Server logs are fed, per server, into codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-s… and the results are summarized using codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-s…, creating easy to consume JSON files. Then, Neo Store consumes them :)
This repository contains scripts to turn your server logs into the "IzzyOnDroid download stats" format, which can then be collected by https://codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-stats-collector.
We have a list of user agents of known clients on codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-s…, so it's anything not matching those. Mostly web browsers, but may also include some crawlers or bots.

Ukraine’s first EU-gauge railway between Uzhhorod and Chop is now open, backed by €28.6 million from the EU’s Connecting Europe and Ukraine Facilities.
This means:
✅ Faster border crossing ✅ More trade ✅ Better links to 🇸🇰🇭🇺🇦🇹 – and beyond
Part of the EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes, this project will help bring Ukraine closer to the EU.
Ukraine opened its first railway line based on the European Union standard for track width, marking a significant step in deepening the country’s transport integration with the EU.
