Horses as a proof against intelligent design. https://www.tumblr.com/drferox/160199912013/hi-doc-love-reading-your-blog-i-found-you-first?source=share (and actually useful info if you own one).

Horses are only interested in two things: homicide, and suicide. Fun :-). https://thunderdungeon.com/2025/06/15/funny-tumblr-thread-why-horses-dont-have-enough-toes/

Dear Firefox. Just because I did an update does not mean you should force me to restart, especially when that means data loss.

"Bolševická propaganda ani totalitní symboly nemají mít v Čechách místo. Památník na Olšanském hřibitově měl včera díky spolku Kaputin historicky správný a tedy pravdivý nápis. Nechápu, proč tam nebyl už dávno a hlavně proč tam nezůstal."

This is quite important (and funny as usual). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykvf3MunGf8 AI chatbots are already doing significant harm, and having "talk with Jesus" as a service... has potential to do way more. Does "AI cult" sound like fun? Some laws were needed years ago.

Nevim, co to tam venku lita za hmyzaky, ale rozhodne na ty kridla nemaj papiry. Kone v lese totalne nastvany. Jedu na kole a chapu proc: Nad cestou roj cehosi, co proste neuhyba, takze kdyz se clovek pokusi projet, hmyzaky proste sejme. 5 na jedny nohavici, 10 na druhy, a tak 2 ve vystrihu... A teda povetsinou jsou nejspis dal letuschopny. Stesti ze jsem mel bryle a zavrenou pusu.

"Pavle, chtel bych jit tady doprava na travu."
"No tak jdi."
"Ale ja bych chtel jit tady..."
"No jdi."
"Ne, Ty mi nerozumis. Etiketa vyzaduje, ze pujdes taky."
"Etiketa?"
"Copak Te ve skole nic nenaucili? Kun je zvire jake?"
"Bylozrave, a to ja jaksi nejsem, takze se past nepujdu, diky."
"Ne, kun je zvire stadove, a jeden kun neni stado, takze proste pujdes taky."
Chvili na nej koukam. Taky na me kouka. Takze ja jsem stado. Fajn.
Ok, co se da delat, jdu za nim. A hele, jit prvni mu nevadi, dokonce si pamatuje ze kdyz za nim zacnu poskakovat, ma naklusat. Na louce se rozhlidne, pozdravi se s druhym konem, a zacne se spokojene past. Ted uz jsou oni dva stado, a ja muzu jit.
Jako jo, horsemani maji pravdu ze kone obcas chteji vedeni. Jen to proste neznamena to co z toho bezne vyvozujou ... kone fakt nepotrebujou napojovat v kruhovce.

I don't do Android. I don't like Android. I even used FirefoxOS so I could have small phone... with no Android.
Android is not evil, compared to usual closed-source stuff. But it is ... quite bad compared to average open-source software, and claims to be open-source.
But I believe Python scripting is still needed, and I wrote required glue... so you don't have to. You should now be able to run Python scripts on Android, with access to screen, touch input, audio support and even camera.
Now, don't expect miracles. Android is still bad system. Linux/Phosh should be better, as would be MicroPythonOS. Porting MicroPythonOS (and thus LVGL) to Android would be better solution, but I'm afraid I'd need to be Android programer for that. With current setup, don't expect frames-per-second when doing fullscreen animations.
Still, long time ago there was sl4a (Scripting languages for Android) and it was very useful for simple things. Biggest limit was that sl4a could not access screen and get touch input. You can now do both, but not very fast.

Ta "uzasne inteligentni" umela inteligence od O2 se nejdriv necha 5 minut premlouvat, ze chci mluvit s operatorem, pak me donuti k identifikaci, oznami mi, ze bude hovor nahravat, a pak mi s tim triskne ze je mimo pracovni dobu.
Vazne? Ma tam #o2 nekoho kdo ma aspon 2 mozkove bunky?

They did not teach me about computer audio at school, and now I have computer audio problems. On Linux, world started easy PCM data, and CPU fast enuogh to generate them. But now I'm playing with Python on Android and looking at Tic-80 and history, and having performance problems. I probably could fix them by doing everything in Kotlin, but I'd really prefer to keep doing Python.
There seems to be big and complex world of Procedural Sound Generators, MIDI, FM sythesis, Tracker modules and well, PCM audio. Maybe I don't need 44.1kHz, 16-bit PCM for doing beeps, but should I rather go 16kHz, 16-bit or 44kHz, 8-bit for simple beeps / basic melodies? Noone told me.
So... who has good introduction to computer audio? Series of lectures on youtube would be best, but book / pages should do. Is there good way to store music/sound inline in code? So far I'm looking at abc music notation.

"Premiér Andrej Babiš má nové téma. Osobně řeší, jak v Česku zvrátit historicky nejnižší porodnost." To zni jako... no celkem "zajimave" video. A vlastne, kdyby se dal na nataceni porna a prestal krast verejne penize, bylo by nam lip; tusim ze kolegove uz v tom maji nejake zkusenosti :-).

abc music notation is, well, music notation intended for print. It is easy to understand. It is not that easy to convert into midi.
