The founder stated that someone asked him on Flitr about investing in real estate abroad. According to him, such an investment is a "big headache" for most people, and it is often driven more by the desire to boast to others about having their own apartment than by actual necessity. Owners typically do not have time to go there, and so they rent out the property short-term through Booking or Airbnb. As an example, he mentioned a wealthy friend who had to go to his apartment in Italy to repaint a wall allegedly stained with chocolate by guests from India. According to the founder, the income from short-term rentals often gets swallowed up by agency fees, repairs, taxes, and utilities, while the apartment wears out faster than with private recreational use. He asked whether someone over fifty with wealth in the mid to upper tens and a demanding job would want to deal with such a concern. He deemed three situations meaningful: when the owner does not work, wants to spend at least three to six months a year at the destination, and can pay in cash; when such an apartment is also used by the owner’s extended family, including adult children; or when a young family with small children who are not yet in school can spend half a year by the sea. Finally, he recommended reading the story of a person who, according to him, bought apartments in various places around the world, mostly in less attractive locations, for passive income. However, in reality, it brought him worries, extra work, and financial loss. https://t.co/9cTBrLdPVX #investování #nemovitosti #pronájmy (translated)

Tomas Kapler wrote that the company Apate has built a fleet of approximately 350,000 AI agents who impersonate trusting individuals and communicate with scammers for as long as possible. According to him, they gather information such as bank account numbers, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, phone numbers, and details about fraudulent websites and scenarios used. The company passes this data on to banks, telecommunications operators, and other institutions. Kapler reported that Apate has recorded over 2.5 million conversations with scammers, which together took about 17 years, and obtained more than 250,000 intelligence data points. He mentioned examples such as the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, which, according to him, saw publicly reported fraud losses drop by 76% after implementing the system, and TPG Telecom, which redirected nearly 590,000 suspicious calls to Apate's agents. One other Australian bank, according to his post, broke up 22 fraudulent campaigns based on the information obtained. He added that the company secured $8.15 million in a seed round in August 2026, just shy of $10 million in total, and planned to expand into London and the United States. Kapler also wrote that Apate expected the proliferation of AI among scammers would lead them to spend more time communicating with its agents instead of potential victims. Finally, Kapler asked whether a similar system would work in Czech. He noted that Czech models may not be as advanced, but older individuals might not regard any mishearing or misunderstanding as a sign of artificial intelligence. He also mentioned that fraudulent AI farms from India, China, Russia, and Ukraine might not recognize such a deception. #AI #podvodníci #technologie (translated)

DonVito007 wrote to President Pavel that according to him, private vacations do not interest anyone and that he would not bother to respond to the requests of Kremlin officials regarding account statements and invoices; he stated that he would reject them rudely. He added that they similarly did not bother the elderly man from the LDN Lány when he traveled to Russian conferences. #politika #soukromí #vztahy (translated)

Daniel Hule wrote that Russians were buying thousands of apartments in the Czech Republic, which they left empty. According to him, the NCOZ described this approach as a new tool of hybrid warfare, aimed at increasing housing costs, putting pressure on society, and serving for money laundering. Hule stated that it was not an investment but a disruption of the country's security. https://t.co/KPCiLQ2Lr9 https://t.co/OUmFmVBRib #bezpečnost #hybridníválka #investice (translated)

The author wrote that threats were coming from Washington to Volodymyr Zelensky, and Donald Trump was forbidding him from attacking Russian refineries, while hundreds of Ukrainian drones were flying over Russian marshes, according to him. The outcome of the war, according to the author, was not determined by Trump’s lies and his alleged dubious agreements with Vladimir Putin, but by the situation at the front and the range of Ukrainian drones. The post concluded with a wish for a good night to Russia. #Ukrajina #válka #drony #US #UA #RU (translated)

The author criticized Bogucki for publishing flattering posts about the Nawrocki family and accused him of lacking sensitivity towards the tragedies that, as he wrote, were occurring in Poland. He pointed to violence in schools, the persecution of children based on their nationality, and hatred towards Ukrainian families and their children. He asked why Agata Nawrocka, whom he portrayed as engaged in child protection, did not take a decisive public stance on these issues. He reminded that she established a foundation aimed at combating, among other things, hate, participated in international initiatives concerning children's safety, appeared alongside Melania Trump, and visited foreign aid institutions. He noted that he was aware of her earlier statement condemning violence against Ukrainian teenage girls, but he felt that a one-time comment was not a substitute for a response to ongoing tragedies. The author emphasized that he did not hold Nawrocka responsible for school violence but criticized the discrepancy between her declared commitment and her public activity in light of recent tragedies. He also wrote that she did not need special constitutional competencies or an invitation from the White House to condemn violence and advocate for the safety of Ukrainian children in Poland. He accused Bogucki of idealizing the presidential family and ended with a question of what further tragedy is needed to hear a decisive voice from the First Lady. #Polska #PrzemocWszkołach #ObronaDzieci (translated)

Arthur asked how Jarosław Kaczyński and the right managed to reconcile the belief that Vladimir Putin was behind the assassination with their support for Donald Trump, whom he described as Putin's best friend.

"There is a risk that it will be a dirty deal that will cost Europe a lot of money," commented Michael Kellner, a German Green Party member of parliament, to Reuters regarding the US-Russian negotiations, who was responsible for Germany's energy policy after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. #NordStream #USA #Rusko (translated)

Zdeněk Šarapatka stated that the interview he referred to in the comments brought shocking revelations and addressed the dirty campaign and the double face of some people. He added that its content might not be for everyone and that "truth will prevail." https://t.co/dHIr6b4wsO #politika #volby #pravda (translated)

Zdeněk Šarapatka wrote that every day he wore a motif on his chest reminiscent of Karel Schwarzenberg and remembered him. He stated that Schwarzenberg, together with the best domestic rhetorician and expert in public operations, created TOP 09. According to Šarapatka, his legacy irritated people whom he referred to as supporters of Moscow and willing to sell the Czech Republic to Russia. He believed that the current times required a sharper political clash; he claimed that Schwarzenberg could dismiss a traitor of the nation with just a few words. Šarapatka explained that he ran for the Senate in Prague and called on voters to give him their votes under numbers 5 and 13. He insisted that he led a decent and honest campaign, did not have money for hundreds of billboards, and was assisted by volunteers. He accused an unspecified opponent of hypocrisy, stating that he received over a million crowns for the campaign from a person who, despite protests, built a concrete structure outside the residents' windows. Šarapatka also claimed that the opponent was using campaign assistance from students of a public school. He added that he did not want to be both a mayor and a senator nor to hold a senatorial position in a quarter-time capacity while managing three educational institutions. He offered voters courage, education, and life experiences, urging them to participate in the elections on Friday and Saturday. #volby #politika #Českárepublika (translated)

Jakub Mościcki assessed that the statements from Anthropic and other leading AI companies about the threat to humanity and the need for regulation stemmed from problems with the profitability of their business model. In his opinion, the strategy of relying on customers and then raising token prices did not work. Citing the latest data from Vercel AI Gateway, he wrote that open models accounted for 78.4% of the token volume, while closed commercial solutions made up 21.6% of the market. According to Mościcki, the migration of developers to open-source models that can be run on home computers increases price pressure on companies like Anthropic. He predicted that they would have to significantly lower API prices and look for revenue in advanced enterprise services. He added that he expects further statements from companies about the threat to humanity and regulations. #AI #otwartyKod #regulacje (translated)

The author of the entry questioned Kania's claim about "hundreds of scientific publications" by Karol Nawrocki. He referred to the official IPN biography, according to which Nawrocki wrote seven books and several dozen scientific and journalistic articles, as well as to the biography on the website of the President of Poland, which mentions several dozen scientific and popular science publications. He indicated that Nawrocki's leadership of the Museum of the Second World War and the IPN does not justify, in his opinion, defining these institutions as the largest educational and research facilities in Poland. The author accused Kania of exaggerating Nawrocki's achievements and reducing Radosław Sikorski's accomplishments to his estate in Chobielin and his wife Anne Applebaum. He pointed out Oxford, Sikorski's international activities, and his roles as Minister of Defense, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Speaker of the Sejm, and Member of the European Parliament. He added that Sikorski's statement could be criticized, but he did not believe that its history was fabricated. He also criticized Kania for basing the correction on what he called hyperboles and omissions. #nauka #publikacje #Polska (translated)

Przemek Langier wrote that one of the referees was banned from football for two years for responding to a text message and passing it to another referee, although — as he pointed out — he did not derive any real benefit from it. He noted that the severity of the punishment resembled that meted out to the "little Hairstylist." According to Langier, the second referee, who received the forwarded message, did not react until it could be used against the first one. He added that one of the referees received 50,000, while the other was given a penalty that he described as de facto a lifetime ban. Langier emphasized that he did not condone the behavior of any of the three individuals nor defended anyone, but he felt the disparity in punishments did not seem in line with a just approach. He suggested that the punishment for Adrian Siemieniec might have been influenced by a need for social acceptance, while against the referee he considered the instigator of the conflict, the regulations could have been applied with full severity, because — as he presumed — he did not have a wide circle of defenders. He also added that referee Raczkowski might have been overlooked because the focus was on Siemieniec and Wójcik. #piłkaNożna #sędziowie #sprawiedliwość (translated)
