To ja się odwołam do zbiorowej mądrości Fedi, bo mnie to męczy, a wyszukiwarki nie były pomocne. Jest taka rosyjska piosenka "Смуглянка": https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smuglanka
Na YT jest mnóstwo jej wykonań po polsku, ale wszystkie oparte o jeden przekład - Roberta Stillera (pod pseudonimem "Edmund Hauke"), który można znaleźć np. tu: https://www.tekstowo.pl/krzysztof-bajdor-wladyslaw-michalowski/moldawianka
Tymczasem istnieje też inny przekład, którego tylko fragment udało mi się znaleźć:
W letni dzionek o poranku sad sąsiedzki zwabił mnie,
Tam – czarnuszka-Mołdawianka winogrona słodkie rwie.
Ja czerwienię się i blednę i tak patrzę w nią jak w cud...
Pójdziemy nad rzekę, powitamy słońca wschód.
Rozwichrzony klon zielony liśćmi gra, pod tym klonem my oboje – ty i ja!
Rozwichrzony, hej, klon zielony, rozwichrzony, hej gra!

Jak widać od stillerowego jest istotnie różny i prawdopodobnie starszy – pamiętam z dzieciństwa, że moja mama śpiewała właśnie tę wersję.
Jeśli ktoś wie, gdzie znaleźć całość, będę bardzo wdzięczny.

The call for testers is now closed.
Hi Folks,
I am looking for screen reader users to test a site taking approximately one hour. This is a paid gig - $50 via a gift card. Please ping me for more details.
Please boost for reach.
Thanks!
Unsolicited Programming Suggestion (UPS)¹:
When you code a condition for executing some action every N days, think what should happen if your system is down at the time of scheduled execution. For example, this #Python example code:
if current_day == previous_day + N:
action()
previous_day = current_day
will fail miserably – your action will not happen ever again. Replacing == with >= will solve the problem – assuming you want your action to be executed as soon as possible if the scheduled time was missed. If, however, your preferred solution is to skip the missed event altogether, but execute the next event at correct time, the % (modulo) operator is your friend:
if current_day % N == 0:
action()
Of course, this holds for intervals expressed in any units, not just days, you just need to calculate your current_whatever accordingly – for example, current_hour = int(time.time()) // 3600 or current_week = int(time.time()) // (7*24*3600) .
Now you may ask "What about cron, isn't it its role to handle such things?"
Well, yes, but cron doesn't allow you to specify, for example, "every other week", and if you think this crontab entry: 0 12 */9 * * something will run something at noon every 9th day, you're in for a surprise, and you haven't read man 5 crontab carefully – at least on Debian it says:
# Run once every 9th day, even across week, month, and year boundaries:
33 22 * * * expr $(date +\%s) / 60 / 60 / 24 \% 9 > /dev/null || echo Wax the floor.
Yes, this is what is needed to have your action actually performed on every 9th day rather than on 9th, 18th and 27th day of every month.
¹ I'll probably be posting more such #UPS based on my own or my coworkers' real life experiences…

@agturcz something for your collection of #Polish #language tidbits: "morda", which means animal snout, but also, derisively or jokingly, human face (like English "mug").
However, plural of morda is "mordy" – identical to plural of "mord", which means "murder". Therefore, "Świat patrzył ze zgrozą na krzyżackie mordy" has double meaning: "The world looked in horror at Teutonic Knights murders/mugs".
Also, Polish slang word for despotism/authoritarianism/totalitarism is
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/zamordyzm - derived from "trzymać za mordy" - to hold people by their mugs.

A while ago I was talking to a researcher and he was like “a few years ago through field research I found out that __ and wrote about it, it was such an exciting find” and then added “and it’s amazing how smart ChatGPT is, recently I asked it the same thing, and it came to the same conclusion as I did in my research!”
My man, ChatGPT didn’t come to the same conclusion you did and it isn’t smart. It stole words from your article and didn’t give you credit.
That’s not amazing, that’s plagiarism.
A Requiem For An Obsolete Operating System
So it seems that I have finally ditched Microsoft Windows.
Among users of both Windows and Linux on desktop I was somewhat of an oddball, as most such people (that I know of…) run Linux at home and Windows at work, because it is their employers’ requirement. I have been using Linux at work approximately since the turn of the century (after switching from Solaris), and after trying out several distros I settled on Debian for servers and Ubuntu for desktop. At home, however, I have been using Windows for almost 30 years – starting from 95 (3.x line were more of a curio than a daily driver), 98 and 98SE, short episode of 2000, then XP, 7 and 10.
Why? I like to play games. And most of the games I played were released for Microsoft systems only, and even with Wine it was too much hassle to get them running on Linux. So I was using Windows, not only for games, but for all other daily activities like web browsing, writing code, editing files with Office, playing music and video etc. And even if I was cursing it from time to time (though I must admit 7 was quite an improvement over earlier versions, and 10 was equally stable even if a bit… chaotic) I had no intention to part ways with it.
The situation has changed with the advent of Proton – suddenly a large part of my Steam library became Linux-compatible. I began toying with the idea of switching to Linux at home, but I always had something more urgent, or just more pleasant, to do. The final impulse was the announcement from Microsoft that they’ll drop support for Windows 10 next year. My current (~7 years old) hardware is officially incapable of running Windows 11, despite its performance under 10 still being more than satisfactory. So I was left with three possible paths:
Well, guess what I chose.
This time I decided to go with Debian, as Ubuntu recently made some unpopular decisions (their insistence on using Snap or pushing their Pro subscription among others). After a couple of days of tweaking I had it configured exactly to my tastes. And today two weeks have passed since I last used Windows. I haven’t deleted the Windows partition yet – just in case I suddenly find out I haven’t transferred nor backed up some important file – but it seems there’s no coming back.
Don't know the author, but (s)he is right to the point.
