#TIL Windows taskbar items can be selected from keyboard using Win-#. Instead of cycling through those items with Win-T one can just press Win-1 to activate/run an application (or iconify it when it's already active).

If a function/procedure/method fits on a screen, it might fit in one's head too. If it doesn't fit on the screen, it will definitely not fit in one's head.

Found a cool street-art yesterday in the shipyard. Unfortunately I can't find the author. There's a little "SHITxSTORM" mark in the lower left corner, but so far I haven't been able to identify the entity behind that interesting poster.

Polish courts are no longer independent, Amsterdam judges say - DutchNews.nl

Poland’s courts are no longer independent of the government and the rule of law has been severely compromised, judges in Amsterdam said on Friday. The statement was made by the international division at Amsterdam court (IRK) which looks at extradition requests, and focused on a Polish national wanted for smuggling 200 kilos of hard and soft drugs to Poland. The IRK has now asked the European Court of Justice to rule if suspects can still be extradited to Poland or...

This is good news and bad news at the same time...

I love maps of all sorts (not only graphical representations of geographical objects). I find the idea of mapping processes, knowledge or information in general appealing, because it may help discover things we didn't know or at least weren't aware of. In particular, I consider Topic Maps and Information Mapping two useful tools when making knowledge persistent.

From #LineageOS department: it turns out I might use Cr Droid 6.3.

Next:
- learn about TWRP;
- set up all tools required to install Lineage OS (e.g. adb);
- prepare a checklist for the installation.

Learning the basics of #Audacity, as I have a recording I need to clean and normalize a recording before actually using it.

I like how Hubzilla gives me a decent social network experience. With all the extra stuff (Wiki app, the concept of forums, expiration date for any item posted and much more) it is very well suited at organizing communities. If only people didn't sell their souls to those megacorps...

Plus it does webdav so you can mount your hubzilla files on your computer, and all contacts are carddav vcards which can be synced to your device also. Oh, and calendar/events are caldav so you can sync 'em too. I was thinking of trying to introduce as all in one solution to my soon to become former house group. Until now they used discourse (but as mailing list rsther then webapp) and nextcloud. However small procentage of people ever logged in and they are all rather casual mobile/app based users. Perhals crafting a hubzilla instance for them would be much easier. It could be a good experiment to see if deployment of hubzilla for gouls would be a good path. Specially if those groups could interact with eachother over federation while keeping their internal communication/file sharing etc private but within the same platform.

@muppeth you're lucky to know such people. Anybody I know would immediately tell me to join FB if I wanted to cooperate with them on anything. ("Everybody is already on FB, you're the only one who complains.")

Even when a local initiative to start a community garden started and I was trying to invite them to start a wiki to collect and share knowledge, the organizer's response was "let's create a FB group!" Facebook has to screw something up, like going offline for a longer period of time, for them to notice that it may be a good idea to look for other platforms.

Doubt it will happen. I do have hardtimes with getting people over, but since disroot was created out need of my house group in the first place (though i personally consider the fact it never really took off there as personal failure), i do think that providing a hubzilla instance specially crafted for their use, might work.

Otherwise i will be looking for others. Its interesting to look at it from a broader perspective then just social network. I would loe to work with a group that is willing to be test bunnies and willing to really use it.

@muppeth You mean looking for others (test bunnies) to provide them with a specially crafted Hubzilla instance?

Yes, Even if my house would want to try (though it can very well be that when we move, they will gladly go back to uncle google), I would like to find some interesting groups that would be very much into trying out this aproach and believing in it. I know at first it might be a bumpy road so a bit of faith will be very much needed. First though I want to work and release new version of the theme.
