Vážený pane Dvořáku,
Úřad pro ochranu hospodářské soutěže (dále též „Úřad“) obdržel dne 1. 3. 2026 Váš podnět ve věci
možného zneužití dominantního postavení společností Google LLC, se sídlem 1600 Amphitheatre
Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043 (dále též „Google“), spočívajícího v jejím záměru
přijmout opatření, kterými by mohlo dojít mimo jiné k blokování nahrávání aplikací do systému
Android od vývojářů neregistrovaných u společnosti Google.
Úřad předně uvádí, že jeho působnost je upravena zákonem č. 273/1996 Sb., o působnosti Úřadu
pro ochranu hospodářské soutěže, ve znění pozdějších předpisů a dále zejména zákonem
č. 143/2001 Sb., o ochraně hospodářské soutěže a o změně některých zákonů (zákon o ochraně
hospodářské soutěže), ve znění pozdějších předpisů (dále též „zákon“). Z uvedených právních
předpisů vyplývá povinnost Úřadu vytvářet podmínky pro podporu a ochranu hospodářské soutěže
proti jejímu vyloučení, omezení, jinému narušení nebo ohrožení, a to dohodami soutěžitelů,
zneužitím dominantního postavení soutěžitelů, spojením soutěžitelů, nebo orgány státní správy při
výkonu státní správy, orgány územní samosprávy při výkonu samosprávy a při přeneseném výkonu
státní správy a orgány zájmové samosprávy při přeneseném výkonu státní správy. Ke kontrole jiných
forem narušení hospodářské soutěže Úřad oprávněn není, neboť k tomu nemá zákonné zmocnění.

New game review! I finished IS THIS SEAT TAKEN? and rated it ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (out of 4).
david.reviews: Is This Seat Taken?
★★★★: A cute little constraint solving puzzle game about shapes with a lot of feelings. There's just enough story to keep things engaging and there are a lot of micro stories that come through the NPC...

The U.K.'s least favourite Farage has changed his mind about the Iran war. He now says the U.K. SHOULDN'T be joining the U.S. and Israel in their military action.
This almost definitely has nothing to do with Farage flying all the way to Mar A Lago at the weekend only to be stood up by Trump....

This is a nice use of #WebOrigami to liberate photos from #Instagram and create a personal #smallweb site!
I was so disappointed when IG deprecated their Basic Display API last year because we can't have nice things, but (for now) they still let users export their own data
Origami is great for this sort of fetch-and-transform task
Now that the reviews are out (I don’t have one but am considering a pink one as a pure thin client) I think the only MacBook Neo most people should get is the base config. At $600 ($500 for students), that seems fair and it makes the right trade-offs. 🧵

Very curious if others have memories of a service in the 80's called Portal. I recall using it in a few ways, one of which was UseNet and UUCP access. The host in this context was cup.portal.com (Cupertino, perhaps?) and appears in historical posts as "sun!portal!cup.portal.com!"
I'm also seeking history on "tronsbox", a host I used to relay for my Amiga-based, dial-up UUCP node: "uunet!tronsbox!alpine!"
Please relay to more relevant hashtags, too!

Legal vs. Legitimate, good article by 
@hongminhee洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee) 
> Whatever courts eventually decide about AI reimplementation, the question we need to answer first is not a legal one. It is a social one. Do those who take from the commons owe something back? I think they do. That judgment does not require a verdict
"Can the commons expect something back from those who extract value?" is a key question of Social experience design. The answer forms one of 3 core principles: The Mindfulness principle.
No. You can't expect *anything* back. That philosophical insight is crucial to organizing a healthy commons that's able to retain its value and evolve.
Paint any principles and values on a flag but as long as the battle is scattered farmers holding feeble Copyright Law pitchforks against a vast drone army, its no use. Know thy enemy helps too. It's not proprietary code or corporations. It's hypercapitalism: The Rules of Battle.

My friends, as it is Superb Owl day, I would like to show a more recent picture of Baked Beans, taken back in January. He now has his adult plumage and is quite majestic, particularly since he's all sticky-uppy. He was being taken past the gorilla play room and did not like the gorillas.

LOOK AT THIS OWL! HE IS SO UPSETTY!!!
There are 2 baby penguins who are staying in a pen in the hall. They're also going to be ambassador birds, so all the keepers are encouraged to pick them up and cuddle them multiple times a day to get them used to people.
BEANS DOES NOT LIKE THE BABY PENGUINS.

Impossible to predict says only industry where this is now starting to happen regularly.
I’ve had some questions about why a few of my Fediverse related projects are down.
Some of my Fediverse projects were developed just by me. While with others I worked with others — with friends.
Some of those friends live in cities that are having bombs dropped on them right now.
We split up our server management (including the costs). Some I managed and paid for. Some a friend did.
The ones he did are down.
I am working on bringing some of them back up.
But, we didn't plan for this. We didn't make things "bus proof" (as some call it).
So, it will take some effort and time to address this.

Okay cool, we’ve been trialling a EU hoster to move away from DigitalOcean eventually, and found one that had a really nice ARM VPS offering that is now just sold out with support saying they don’t know when they will be in stock again and they don’t even know how they can be made available again at all.
I was gonna commit to possibly spending quite a bit there, but without confidence in scale-out planning, that’s not gonna happen.
Thanks for nothing “AI”-bubble 😡

This album by Craven Faults popped up in my Mastodon stream the other day so I gave it a listen. Oh wow do I love this. Make me wonder why I ever bothered with all that tunes and melody nonsense. This is actually what I want - crave in fact.

Reminds me a lot of another track I love that I also think channels some of that train energy: https://dedekindcut.bandcamp.com/track/american-zen-1-2
