@sesivany Yeah, 4 hours without electricity, and with mobile networks unusable. I found out I still have FM radio in my phone, it was the only way to get some information 😁

Bill Gates about writing #basic for #altair8800, nice story 🙂 https://www.gatesnotes.com/microsoft-original-source-code

Prague's #planetarium is finally opened (it was under reconstruction for a long time). I guess the last time I visited the place was with school more than 20 years ago 🙂 Now, it uses probably the most (or one of the most) advanced display system in the world, and it is absolutely realistic, and amazing! I took my kid here, and he was totally fascinated with all the #space wonders. #trip

Do you have a feeling it looks a bit like Firefox? I can't deny that, for me, #firefox UI is the definition of how things should look like. And with "Subtle" theme even the tabs look almost identical.

Another round of experiments with #vivaldi #browser just started. I finally resolved the problem I used to have with its GUI: font size. Yes, you can scale the whole UI of the browser, but I am pretty much OK with the overall size of the interface as it is... I just need to increase the size of: address bar font, bookmarks bar font, and tabs font. Luckily, you can do it by the custom CSS, and after some experimenting I finally have a solution I am fully satisfied with: https://lukaskotek.eu/vivaldi.css.

Fairphone 6 Announced With Same-Day Linux Support Patches

Dutch electronics company Fairphone today announced their Fairphone Gen 6 smartphone as the successor to the Fairphone 5. Fairphone 6 continues to be repair-friendly and was just announced this morning while already the Linux support patches have hit the Linux kernel mailing list...

I bought mechanical #keyboard (87% size) by customklavesnice.cz (at least the base kit is made by Skyloong). It was fun to pick own switches, and specify colors for all the keys, not mentioning the final assembly 😉
The most important: it is really comfortable for writing👌Surprisingly silent (meaning: no clicking sounds). Just backlight (and its multiple blinking/waiving schemes) is ridiculous, but it can be turned off 😅

Po mnoha letech jsem dnes viděl Windows, konkrétně 11. Zoufalý soused mě přivolal k novému notebooku, na kterém dceři vytvořil účet. Ten se vytváří online (!) a protože tím vznikl dětský účet, bylo třeba registrovat se ještě jako rodič a potvrdit ten dětský účet.

Jenže Microsoft nespolupracoval, neposílal maily, ukazoval velmi konkrétní chyby typu „Něco se pokazilo“ a soused byl v pasti. Nedokázal spustit ani nový notebook 🤷‍♂️

Nepřišli jsme na to, jak z toho ven, nabídl jsem instalaci Linuxu. 🐧

The EU’s new Ecodesign rules for smartphones require 7-year parts availability, 5-year software updates, and repairability info on labels. 🔧

However, last-minute changes limit self-repair by removing user-replaceable screen mandates.

The law improves sustainability but keeps barriers to full consumer repair rights. 📱

@sesivany @organicmaps @CoMaps I use it since its first release. In short, there is nothing to complain. (User experience is currently identical to Organic maps.)

If you're using @organicmaps, you may want to switch to @CoMaps. It's a fork of #OrganicMaps which aims to be a transparent community project.

@devconf_cz So... should I take my bathing suit this year? 😁

There is "The Kingdom of Railways" literally next door to Flock 2025 😉 It is huge! Hundreds of functional train models! #flocktofedora2025 #Flock2025 #flocktofedora https://www.kralovstvi-zeleznic.cz/

Do I really look strange while wearing wired earphones? After some time I commute to Prague today, and literally everyone around me uses wireless ones. Still, wired earphones mean one less device with battery in my life, and one less device to charge 😉

@hroncok Sorry to hear that 😢 Get well soon!

Miro @hroncok byl zvolen nejvyšším počtem hlasů do nejvyššího orgánu projektu - #Fedora Council. Gratulujeme!
