drahý čumblre, rozmilé obrozenstvo, mám krizi a na Vás dotaz.

vidíte tuto známku?

úplně normální známka, ne?

nebo to jsem si aspoň myslela, než mi o ní kamarádka z Ameriky toto napsala:

načež mi poslala ono foto, co jste vy viděli jako první.

no a mě se jala předtucha neblahá a strašlivá. protože jinak bych si toho všimla ne? kdyby to nebylo něco, na co si mé zraky navykly, jako třeba vzorek na koupelnové kachličce nebo ta knížka z knihovny, co mi sedí připravená na poličce a už přes týden ji vracím. ne?

ano.

no a teď s tímto vědomím musím žít. a tak jsem se rozhodla, že v tom nezůstanu sama.

(ale vážně, vy jste si láskyplně vykresleného pohlavního orgánu lva někdy všimli???? mám docela nutkání projet státní znaky se lvem ostatních států a porovnat, jak a jestli jsou též takto obdařeni...)

(tw silná negativita) život v česku je jako

venku je 35 stupňů. Politici se hádají, jestli je klimatická změna reálná.

jdeš na stránky Lidlu. Nejlevnější klimatizace stojí šest a půl tisíce. Jdeš na stránky německýho Lidlu. Ta samá klimatizace stojí o tisíc korun míň.

venku je 35 stupňů. Tvoji rodiče si stěžují, jak se vůbec nemluví o tom, že změny klimatu se můžou dít i bez přispění člověka.

jdeš do obchodu. Všude tě do očí bijou cedulky "LEVNĚJŠÍ". Zboží, ke kterému přísluší, stojí víc, než když jsi tam byl minule.

venku je 35 stupňů. Někdo se rozhodl, že je to ten správný okamžik posekat trávníky. Tráva je hnědá.

bydlíš ve spolubydlení. Tvůj nájem za pokoj činí víc, než je třetina tvého příjmu. Víš, že tvému finančnímu poradci by se to nelíbilo.

v DVTV je realiťák, který si stěžuje, že si lidi berou příspěvky na bydlení.

venku je 35 stupňů. Máš strach o svého souseda, který pracuje na zahrádce, pravděpodobně proto, že "je přece hezky".

tvůj rodič mluví o tom, že bytová krize je způsobená z velké části tím, že nájemci mají většinu práv na své straně a pronajímatelé se bojí pronajímat a "taky jsou zoufalí".

tvůj známý z Helsinek mluví o tom, že má byt 2+1 za cenu, za jakou má tvoje kamarádka garsonku. Průměrný finský plat je přes tři a půl tisíce euro.

v DVTV je člověk, který vlastní stovku bytů. Mluví o tom, jak by si lidé měli zvykat, že je normální bydlet v nájmu.

venku je 35 stupňů.

ve studni u rodičů na baráku došla voda. Opoziční strany mají kampaň postavenou na tvrzení, že Green Deal je největší aktuální hrozba pro Evropu.

v DVTV je člověk, který mluví o tom, že u nás je svět ještě v pořádku.

jako odměnu za nákup v Lidlu dostaneš poukaz na jednu bulku se slunečnicovými semínky zdarma, pokud příště nakoupíš nad 300 korun. Roníš slzy vděku.

venku je 35 stupňů.

Hello! First, I wanted to say thank you for your post about updating software and such. I really appreciated your perspective as someone with ADHD. The way you described your experiences with software frustration was IDENTICAL to my experience, so your post made a lot of sense to me.

Second, (and I hope my question isn't bothering you lol) would you mind explaining why it's important to update/adopt the new software? Like, why isn't there an option that doesn't involve constantly adopting new things? I understand why they'd need to fix stuff like functional bugs/make it compatible with new tech, but is it really necessary to change the user side of things as well?

Sorry if those are stupid questions or they're A Lot for a tumblr rando to ask, I'd just really like to understand because I think it would make it easier to get myself to adopt new stuff if I understand why it's necessary, and the other folks I know that know about computers don't really seem to understand the experience.

Thank you so much again for sharing your wisdom!!

A huge part of it is changing technologies and changing norms; I brought up Windows 8 in that other post and Win8 is a *great* example of user experience changing to match hardware, just in a situation that was an enormous mismatch with the market.

Win8's much-beloathed tiles came about because Microsoft seemed to be anticipating a massive pivot to tablet PCs in nearly all applications. The welcome screen was designed to be friendly to people who were using handheld touchscreens who could tap through various options, and it was meant to require more scrolling and less use of a keyboard.

But most people who the operating system went out to *didn't* have touchscreen tablets or laptops, they had a desktop computer with a mouse and a keyboard.

When that was released, it was Microsoft attempting to keep up with (or anticipate) market trends - they wanted something that was like "the iPad for Microsoft" so Windows 8 was meant to go with Microsoft Surface tablets.

We spent the first month of Win8's launch making it look like Windows 7 for our customers.

You can see the same thing with the centered taskbar on Windows 11; that's very clearly supposed to mimic the dock on apple computers (only you can't pin it anywhere but the bottom of the screen, which sucks).

Some of the visual changes are just trends and various companies trying to keep up with one another.

With software like Adobe I think it's probably based on customer data. The tool layout and the menu dropdowns are likely based on what people are actually looking for, and change based on what other tools people are using. That's likely true for most programs you use - the menu bar at the top of the screen in Word is populated with the options that people use the most; if a function you used to click on all the time is now buried, there's a possibility that people use it less these days for any number of reasons. (I'm currently being driven mildly insane by Teams moving the "attach file" button under a "more" menu instead of as an icon next to the "send message" button, and what this tells me is either that more users are putting emojis in their messages than attachments, or microsoft WANTS people to put more emojis than messages in their attachments).

But focusing on the operating system, since that's the big one:

The thing about OSs is that you interact with them so frequently that any little change seems massive and you get REALLY frustrated when you have to deal with that, but version-to-version most OSs don't change all that much visually and they also don't get released all that frequently. I've been working with windows machines for twelve years and in that time the only OSs that Microsoft has released were 8, 10, and 11. That's only about one OS every four years, which just is not that many. There was a big visual change in the interface between 7 and 8 (and 8 and 8.1, which is more of a 'panicked backing away' than a full release), but otherwise, realistically, Windows 11 still looks a lot like XP.

The second one is a screenshot of my actual computer. The only change I've made to the display is to pin the taskbar to the left side instead of keeping it centered and to fuck around a bit with the colors in the display customization. I haven't added any plugins or tools to get it to look different.

This is actually a pretty good demonstration of things changing based on user behavior too - XP didn't come with a search field in the task bar or the start menu, but later versions of Windows OSs did, because users had gotten used to searching things more in their phones and browsers, so then they learned to search things on their computers.

There are definitely nefarious reasons that software manufacturers change their interfaces. Microsoft has included ads in home versions of their OS and pushed searches through the Microsoft store since Windows 10, as one example. That's shitty and I think it's worthwhile to find the time to shut that down (and to kill various assistants and background tools and stop a lot of stuff that runs at startup).

But if you didn't have any changes, you wouldn't have any changes. I think it's handy to have a search field in the taskbar. I find "settings" (which is newer than control panel) easier to navigate than "control panel." Some of the stuff that got added over time is *good* from a user perspective - you can see that there's a little stopwatch pinned at the bottom of my screen; that's a tool I use daily that wasn't included in previous versions of the OS. I'm glad it got added, even if I'm kind of bummed that my Windows OS doesn't come with Spider Solitaire anymore.

One thing that's helpful to think about when considering software is that nobody *wants* to make clunky, unusable software. People want their software to run well, with few problems, and they want users to like it so that they don't call corporate and kick up a fuss.

When you see these kinds of changes to the user experience, it often reflects something that *you* may not want, but that is desirable to a *LOT* of other people. The primary example I can think of here is trackpad scrolling direction; at some point it became common for trackpads to scroll in the opposite direction that they used to; now the default direction is the one that feels wrong to me, because I grew up scrolling with a mouse, not a screen. People who grew up scrolling on a screen seem to feel that the new direction is a lot more intuitive, so it's the default. Thankfully, that's a setting that's easy to change, so it's a change that I make every time I come across it, but the change was made for a sensible reason, even if that reason was opaque to me at the time I stumbled across it and continues to irritate me to this day.

I don't know. I don't want to defend Windows all that much here because I fucking hate Microsoft and definitely prefer using Linux when I'm not at work or using programs that I don't have on Linux. But the thing is that you'll see changes with Linux releases as well.

I wouldn't mind finding a tool that made my desktop look 100% like Windows 95, that would be fun. But we'd probably all be really frustrated if there hadn't been any interface improvements changes since MS-DOS (and people have DEFINITELY been complaining about UX changes at least since then).

Like, I talk about this in terms of backward compatibility sometimes. A lot of people are frustrated that their old computers can't run new software well, and that new computers use so many resources. But the flipside of that is that pretty much nobody wants mobile internet to work the way that it did in 2004 or computers to act the way they did in 1984.

Like. People don't think about it much these days but the "windows" of the Windows Operating system represented a massive change to how people interacted with their computers that plenty of people hated and found unintuitive.

(also take some time to think about the little changes that have happened that you've appreciated or maybe didn't even notice. I used to hate the squiggly line under misspelled words but now I see the utility. Predictive text seems like new technology to me but it's really handy for a lot of people. Right clicking is a UX innovation. Sometimes you have to take the centered task bar in exchange for the built-in timer deck; sometimes you have to lose color-coded files in exchange for a right click.)

Czech demonstrative pronouns - exercise sheet 🇨🇿

I've already mentioned that Duolingo doesn't teach any Czech grammar, so i guess i'll have to teach myself.

So, here's a table on how to use demonstrative pronouns in the nominative case:

And here's an exercise sheet to practice them:

And here are the solutions:

I've also uploaded both of these sheets as pdf files here (in the file 'Pronouns'):
