"Without regulatory or legislative change, we risk losing a universal, free and open, write once, deploy anywhere, application distribution and deployment system..."
"Apps built with the free and open #web need equal treatment and integration. Closed and heavily taxed proprietary ecosystems should not receive any preference."

CZ.NIC, the association managing the #Czech #domain registry just removed .CZ domains of several websites spreading Russian #propaganda.
Without any judicial decision. Just because the government and security agencies asked. That's a slippery slope and not the right way to fight #disinformation, sorry.
it's not just iot devices getting left behind , iwhen companies fold, it's even accessibility implants. this is why open hardware matters https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye-obsolete
Former #CloudReady is becoming #ChromeOSFlex. Basically an official #Google desktop #Linux distribution for #PC and #Mac.
As someone using #ChromeOS as a primary operating system for more than a decade, I was really looking forward to this.
I won't be limited by the high-end #Chromebook hardware selection anymore and it will be supported basically as long as the Linux kernel supports it.

If you're in the UK or US, you still have one week to send your comments on how #Apple's arbitrary lack of #browser choice on #iOS is causing harm to businesses, developers and users alike. Please, use that opportunity to finally rid the #web of #Safari shackles...

🇨🇿 in #Czech, modré zóny
Úřední šikana nekončí. Zónu z chodníku se nám podařilo loni odstranit po 2 měsících dohadů. Půl roku jsme mysleli, že už bude klid, ale těsně před Vánoci(!) #Praha9 navrhla "Chodníkový program", který zavádí parkování po celé šířce OBOU chodníků jen o 30 metrů níž. Lidi ať chodí silnicí.
Už týdny tak trávíme noci a víkendy čtením norem, aktivizací sousedů, psaním námitek atd. Pokud chodíte na #Střížkov, můžete je poslat i vy:
@WPalant I really believe it's time for people to realise that #tech IS #politics. Same principles that apply to #democracy are applicable to #technology. The true long-term solution is education of the general public, not the easy way of blindly trusting centralized authorities promising to do slightly better.
In that sense I agree that Moxie really "doesn't get it". Mostly, he's just defending his design choices thru the lens of his confict of interest.
COVID-19 vaccine
Received 3rd dose today. We got to choose which #vaccine so we went with Spikevax (Moderna) this time for a change.
The vaccination site in #Prague Congress Centre was not organized well, though. There's a queue ticket system *before* the actual registration on a TV screen indoors and a crowd of people in a relatively small space waiting for their turn for about 20 minutes. Especially with #Omicron on the (steep) rise this felt quite risky.
Don't Look Up is a painfully brilliant time capsule of the current state of humankind. That’s what we should be sending on golden plaques into deep space... As a warning.
A bit like #Idiocracy but present-day, with a proper budget and less hyperbole.
BTW, I also kinda liked #TheMatrixResurrections but if I can recommend just one #movie this year it’s definitely #DontLookUp.
There is lots of confusion about how someone got their hands on lots of #LastPass master passwords, and the official LastPass statement is certainly not helping. I analyzed the possible scenarios to find out what most likely happened here. #infosec

This is pretty amazing: "The Tree of Life" contains 2.2m species. Prepare for some mouse wheel action!
Selling some #secondHand stuff, mostly electronics... Plus I'll be continuously adding more in the coming weeks. If you are interested in anything, let me know.
Pretty clever use of the Service Worker APIs: serve a local folder of files in your browser for easy testing without having to run a server. https://servefolder.dev/
