Well, dojít also means "come to" as in "understand" or "deduce", besides the usual meaning of "finish walking". However, dojetí is the gerund-like form of either the verb dojet ("come to"/"arrive" but not on foot but by a land vehicle; though dojezd or příjezd is used more often) or way more commonly the verb dojmout se ("get moved [emotionally]").

The most accurate translation of the song title would be "[I Am] Afraid To Get Emotional" but "Resisting Being Moved/Touched", close to what Google came up with, is the best if syllable count needs to be preserved.

An old Czech song just played on the radio...

"Bráním se dojetí" translates to "I resist being touched", apparently

(Last time I was in a Spotify-"enhanced" waiting room was 6 years ago so no idea if that still holds.)

He absolutely nailed it, actually. The fact that you posted it speaks to the success of the viral marketing campaign. If you're in doubt that this is an ad, either turn on sound or notice that the weirdly big URL tag on his pullover goes unpractically over the zipper.

It's still way more environmentally friendly thanks to the inherent depopulation.

Mustela is the Latin name of the weasel genus, which also includes stoats, polecats, ferrets and minks but not sables. The pictured animal is probably a stoat, wearing her natural winter ermine coat.

Well, I'd like to know if Arwen's screentime/mention ratio is 2x or 3x that of the Frodo baseline. This arbitrary scale makes it impossible. It would not hurt to add more values to the axes, and perhaps a faint grid.

You just described the Czech pub stereotype in a nutshell. They love complaining and arguing and do it for sport, but when somebody disagrees with their worldview on a substantial level, they won't get invited to the table at all.

Does this pub behavior extend to ActivityPub? Maybe...

Every time a number doubles (or increases 10×, or 𝑒×, whatever), it moves a constant distance on a log scale because its base-whatever logarithm increases by a constant amount. Hence my expectation of equal distance from 500 to 1000 and 1000 to 2000. I am ignoring 1500 here because it does not form a geometric sequence with any two other numbers so it can't easily be used for this check.

Nun ernst: Genau wie „Hain“ ist tschechisches „háj“ ein poetisches Begriff für Gehölz. Warum wird aber ausschießlich in Harz die slawische Aussprache verwendet?

Kamala Harris is known to love Venn diagrams and would be cringing hard at this.

For reference, circles in Venn (Euler) diagrams are sets of objects with a certain property. Select objects are shown inside or outside of each circle depending on whether they belong to the set.
A good example is xkcd 2962:
Hard to imagine political rhetoric more microtargeted at me than 'I love Venn diagrams. I really do, I love Venn diagrams. It's just something about those three circles.'

Sure to annoy IT people but those just need a line of text while the rest of the screen is free real estate for Micro$oft! Public BSODs tend to go viral too.

There is a Fediverse-wide canvas event at canvas.fediverse.events (currently temporarily down with no ETA). Is the KDE community participating?

I redrew this Kiki icon as pixel art and I can, and probably will, place this image myself, as it's just 282 non-white pixels; I just want to know if anyone is going to draw the KDE logo, Konqi or other imagery so we can all be in one area.

1:1 image that can be used as a template:

If you have any KDE art you'd like to add, including better versions of Kiki, feel free to post them! I can adjust the palette into this year's 34-color one or even redraw high-res images as pixel art for you.

Edit: THANKS TO EVERYONE

I thought that given the size of the trans community, perhaps the 100 px size would be just right for a nice 3:2 aspect ratio. Meanwhile, you madlads managed to span the entire width!


Go help draw at canvas.fediverse.events!

Edit: DESTROY THE DITHERING

Yes, it's just me who did the dithering but it turns out dithered stripes grow slower because people are afraid of placing pixels that would disrupt the pattern. Just fill the checkered area fully and continue with random pixels.

Edit: currently down :/
