May you share the story? I mean who are this mechanitor, what is their motivation, etc? I like RimWorld stories
I mean if you try to use anything like python packages or even try to build python from sources it is painful. The only way to create developer environment is to use something like nex develop shells and you need to care about passing to LD_LIBRARY_PATH all that you need. And nothing downloaded as a binary is not working... For example, if I'm working on a Java-maven project that includes maven-protobuf then it is not working for you because protoc binary for manylinux is made for a dynamic linkage... Overall developer experience is painful. And anything that is not in nixpkgs you cannot just download, build from source and use: you need to pack everything into packages with resolving all the dependencies by hands...
I had an yearly experience with Nix, but I'm thinking that it is overhead for just a home PC system. You may have more pain with static linkage compared to benefits of Nix reproducability and flexibility. Now is a year I'm on the Fedora Silverblue and this one is a really good balance between complexity and usability.
While that is true, the missing part is the following. As I understand registration process in zone .ru / .рф is done by a russian legal entity (Coordination Center for TLD RU) and under the jurisdiction of russian courts. As a citizen of Russia I can say that russian courts are far away from the Rule of Law and under the strong pressure of russian government. So, even if the actual website may be hosted anywhere, russian court may make a decision to take back a registration and, theoretically, the row in DNS may be replaced (the link will be the same but may tend to a different, potentially unsafe hosting). That is the risk that I see.
It is based on files in org format. But it is not related anyhow to org-agenda and planning. It is an only obsidian-like note-raking system with web+mobile+desktop and some blogging capabilities (public/private notes, etc.)
OrgNote. The project is still quite raw but the developer works hard and the overall idea and philosophy behind the project is perfect for me. Fully compatible with emacs org-roam, most probably compatible with logseq. There is a "fully managed" free version with PGP support or an option for a self-hosted server.

What android application supports RCS except Google Messages? So, for me it is not about "allowing iOS users communicate with Android users", but about allowing communications between iMessage users and Google Messages users.
How it works when OpenJDK is distributed under GNU GPL?
I cannot imagine the implementation of that without help of apps devs. How are they going to force companies, registered in UAE (Telegram) or US (Signal), to implement this feature specifically for EU market?
Is it a wrapper on top of datafusion, but with an ability to define transformations in yaml? I mean it looks really cool, I'm just trying to understand the usecase
Did you read the article? It is about people arrested by Israel's officials. Some of them are released after without being even tried. Sometimes they are released without a leg, for example, because in Israel's hospitals they did not gave him treatment. How a person, who is shakled to the hospital bed can "just go to Egypt"?
The problem is that personalization of search results tends to information bubbles. That is the reason why I prefer DDG over Google.
It is always a tradeoff. It could be cool to see some analytics of visits, but I'm not ready to go self hosted for that. My blog is just a hobby, not a work, no monetization, etc.
Automatic AI-powered screen lock for when your phone is snatched. Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away.
Does it mean, that "Google AI" will running 24/7 in background, measuring how I use my phone, with an access to accelerometers data and location data?
That is absolutely crazy. I wish the strength to go through that for Alexey Pertsev!
Interesting, thanks! I didn't think about it. But for a personal blog (without any kind of monetization) it is not an option, unfortunately, due to hosting/infra prices 😞
I have my personal blog, made with Hugo and hosted on GitHub pages. Initially I did not turn on any kind of web tracking / web analytics, because I do not like tracking at all. But I want to make my blog better and to achieve it, I need a feedback loop about traffic. For example, what are the most popular publications, or how many people view my blog from mobile devices, etc.
So, my question is, what is the most appropriate (ot the less evil) way to track a web traffic?
An answer "there is no good way to do it without breaking user's privacy" is acceptable too, I did not decide yet turning on the analytics. Instead I'm interested in an opinion of the community.
Thanks in advance!
tldr: Green transition, like switching to electric vehicles and use renewable energy sources, requires a huge amount of minerals. One of the main sources of these minerals is African continent. Researchers found big overlapp of that mining with areas of big apes. Almost 200.000 of apes are in a risk area, based on the estimation:
> We estimated that more than one-third of the entire great ape population in Africa—nearly 180,000 individuals—could be directly or indirectly threatened by mining now and in the near future. Apes in West Africa could be most severely affected, where up to 82% of the population currently overlaps with operational and preoperational mining locations and their 50-km buffers
Another problem is that mining companies working there are not pay attention to ecological consequences of their business:
> only 5% of the 400 assessed companies had carried out science-based nature and biodiversity impact assessments of their operations and business models
A very limited list of countries in the world have good enough infra for electric cars. The same about plant based: in developing countries finding a good plant based food, like meat replacement or vegan milk, is a challenge.

Has anyone cycled through Bosnia and Herzegovina? I'm planning my next solo trip and I'm thinking of going from Belgrade to Sarajevo, crossing the border at Bajina Basta Water Power Plant one way, after visiting Sarajevo it looks like I can cross the border at Bijelina. Most of the videos on YouTube are about cycling back through Croatia, but this is not an option for me due to visa restrictions... The whole route (~700km with +-8500m of altitude difference) looks like an interesting challenge and a great opportunity to get to know BiH.
But I have a lot of general questions about road quality, driver culture in relation to cyclists, water accessibility, etc. I'm also worried about the mountains near Sarajevo: from the border to Sarajevo and from Sarajevo to Tuzla. How good are these mountain roads for cycling? Is it possible to zigzag on the most difficult climbs?
Thanks in advance!
Telecommunication tower built in 1965 according to the project of Uglješa Bogunović, Slobodan Janjić and Milan Krstić. Destroyed in an air raid in 1999, rebuilt according to the original project in 2010. One of the most famous examples of Yugoslavian Brutalism in architecture. A photo of the tower was included in the exhibition "Toward a concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948-1980", organized at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2018. This exhibition opened Yugoslavian modernist architecture to the world.

Built in 1972, architect A. Vipov (А.И. Выпов). Unofficial name is "The Stone Flower".
Hello, community! I saw in one video that tires and wheel weight are critical for the fast cycling. But how important is it for the tourism? For example, I'm using "hard" slick tires from Kenda (on the photo) that are great for asphalt roads and are very strong against small stones, plant spines and glasa pieces. The problem is weight about 600g (700x32c). I also have 700x32c soft and lightweight gravel tires with only 300g weight. But how important is it for cycling if I have about 10 additional kilograms of bags on top of my bike when I go into a long trip? Does it make sense to lose the durability and dril resistance of Kenda Kwest 700x32c for decreasing the weight of tires twice? Thanks in advance!
I was going to upgrade my bike (Decathlon Triban 100) and ordered the whole new groupset (Shimano SORA). It will be delivered soon, so my question is how hard is the replacing process? It is not a problem to pay in local bike service for the replacement but I'm also interested in trying by myself. I have a repairment kit and all the things, I like to make some maintenance of bike by mysleft but I didn't do so complex maintenance before.
Is there any android app or web app with movie ratings and reviews? Android app would be better. Alternative to imdb? I want to be able to fast check the rating of movie or list of actors. I know about wikipedia app but it's interface is not focused on movies. Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
I'm relatively new to anarchism, so I'd like to ask a few questions. I was very inspired by the book by F. Hayek (The Road to Serfdom) which changed my mind and convinced me why regulation doesn't work. Before this book I believed in the world trend towards regulation for the common good. Now I'm looking for a more general book on why government doesn't work at all. What can you recommend? I'm an engineer and prefer more economic and less philosophical books (like one by F. Hayek). Is there anything like that?
And more generally, what is the general opinion on private property in the anarchist community? I tried to google it but found controversial views. I know there are left-wing (Geoism/Georgism?) and right-wing (anarcho-capitalism?), but I think there should be something common about the property question...
Thanks in advance!
Built in 1965 according to the design of Ivan Antić and Ivanka Raspopović. According to the design, the building should look like a crystal. It was renovated in 2007-2017. When the renovation began, one of the architects of the original project was still alive and participated in the renovation.
Compared to other examples of Yugoslavian modernism, this building is in very good condition and is well maintained. Also the surrounding area of the park is very human friendly compared to examples of Yugoslavian Brutalism, which looks more like some kind of ghetto.
Near the building there are benches and monuments in the modernist style:
Genex Tower (or Western City Gate) is one of the most famous examples of Yugoslavian brutalism architecture. The sky scraper was built in 1979 by architect Mihajlo Mitrović. The left part of the building contained apartments and the right part was suited for offices. In communist era there was the office of "Generalexport" here but today the right side is used as a stand for advertisements.
On the top there was a rotating restaurant here but today it is closed as I know.
Even being in a very bad condition the building still inspires, and you have a lot of controversial feelings when you stay nearby. !
One may say that the building dominates and suppresses surroundings but it is a common for almost all modernist architecture.
Built in 1935 by architect Dragiša Brašovan. Nice example of socialist modernism architecture of the period between world wars. Compared to after WWII Yuguslavian modernist architecture that was inspired by Le Corbusier, this building looks like more Art Deco style. Especially these window elements: !
On the other side of the building there are statue of Icarus, the work of the sculptor Zlata Markov: !
Entrance group is looking like this today: !
Building was heavily damaged in 1999 and now looks abandoned. More information in wikipedia.
Built in 1969 by architect Lavoslav Horvat. A nice example of socialist modernism in architecture and Yugoslavian architecture. In communist-era it was used for foreign delegation and diplomats but it is semi-abandoned today and, as I know, is not used as a hotel anymore. More information may be found in wikipedia.
