@megiia when I'm alone

mame svobodu slova a vyznani, do nake miry
mame svobodu pohybu a shromazdovani, do nake miry
mame svobodu konzumovat, do nake miry (omamne latky)
mame svobodu si kohokoli vzit, do nake miry (pohlavi, vek)
mame svobodu volby, od nake miry (vek, sbirani podpisu, minimalni procenta pro zisk kresel v PS, ...)

a pak mame svobodu vlastnit ... bez jakekoli hrnice

proc nema stat problem me omezovat na mych ciste osobnich pravech (homosexualni manzelstvi, pestovani/uzivani drog), ale je neprekonatelny problem nekomu super-bohatemu zacit branit v ziskavani temer neomezene moci?

zadna z lidskych ctnosti nevede k osobnimu bohatstvi, tak z toho prestanme delat neco posvatneho a zatlacme alespon na poradnou danovou progresi

bylo by v mnoha ohledech problematicke delat jakekoli zasahy do osobniho vlastnictvi retrospektivne, ale neni problem etickym zpusobem zaridit, aby se v budoucnu proste nevyplatilo byt morbidne bohaty

Apple's most valuable intangible asset isn't its patents or copyrights - it's an army of people who believe that using products from a $2.89 trillion multinational makes them members of an oppressed religious minority whose identity is coterminal with the interests of Apple's shareholders.

@polarity I was supporting the development of Redox OS (https://www.redox-os.org) for a while and sent a few money to Haiku OS (https://www.haiku-os.org) devs twice

I should probably start supporting the stuff I really use every day

Can you guys share some links to open source software or projects that you support with a monthly or one-time donation? It might turn into a cool list. Open source software is super important beyond just avoiding lock-in models, and a few donations can really save crucial projects. #opensource #software

@Keev taky bych zacal s Mini od Prusy, je super bezproblemova a velke modely se bez rychlotisku nebo zvlast pracovny stejne moc tisknout nedaji

@Sominemo move carefully and break things

There's a post that made it to the main of HN about text compression with PNG. There's nothing surprising about it, PNG is using Deflate, which is LZ77, which is basically the same thing as zip and gzip.

It is much more interesting, in my opinion, to try lossy compression algorithms. How about an image compressed by MP3? Let's start with a screenshot of Princess Maker saved as RGBA data - 868 KB.

Open this raw data as unsigned 8-bit PCM, and export to MP3 in different bitrates. Then load MP3 and export back as unsigned 8-bit PCM. Then read back this as RGBA image.

128 kbps MP3 is 322KB, which is less than RAW image (or uncompressed BMP), and hey look, it almost fully preserved the colours. 32 kbps file is only 86KB, but all the colour information is lost.

Fun part: exporting image as RGB will give much worse results, as alpha-channel works as sort of separator for pixels

a na čem testujete vy? #HaikuOS
