Reunión de juntaletras.
Reunión de juntaletras.
El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.
Android Budapest 2026 May
Android Budapest 2026 May
Join us for a special edition of the Android Budapest meetup in May! This time, we’re collaborating with mDevCamp, the Prague-based mobile dev conference. You will have an opportunity to get a free ticket to the conference! Before the summer break, you’ll have another opportunity to learn more about Android and meet fellow mobile devs! We’ll have two great talks to set the tone of the evening - this time you’ll hear from two organizers of our meetup, on the topics of Kotlin Multiplatform and screen recording on Android. **📜 Schedule:** **18:00 - 18:30: Gathering and socializing** **18:30 - 19:15: First talk** **19:15 - 19:45: Break** **19:45 - 20:15: Second talk** **20:15 - : More socializing!** **—** **🔷 Going Multiplatform with Your Android App - Márton Braun, JetBrains** Existing Android apps are in a great position to expand into Kotlin Multiplatform: you might already be using patterns, libraries, and APIs that work on more platforms than just Android. With Compose Multiplatform, you can build an app with a fully shared Kotlin codebase, targeting iOS, desktop, and even the web! In this talk, we’ll look at how you can migrate an existing Android app to multiplatform. As this can be a significant engineering effort for an existing, well-established app, we’ll also discuss how to plan and organize the required changes, and how to adopt KMP incrementally across your codebase without disrupting day-to-day development. **🔷 When MediaProjection Isn't Enough - Building a Custom In-App Session Recorder - István Juhos, Spoke** Debugging user issues gets so much easier when you can see exactly what they experienced. While off-the-shelf solutions exist to integrate screen recording into our apps, they didn't give us the quality, flexibility, or control we needed. So, our team built our own native, in-app session recording tool for Android. In this talk, I'll share why we decided to go in-house, how we tackled the technical and UX hurdles along the way, and what we learned about recording high-quality video and audio data. We'll dive into tricky bits like exploring - and discarding - the MediaProjection API, handling codecs and muxers across devices, designing recording controls that stay out of the user's way, playing back recordings, and managing background uploads without draining your users' battery or patience. — 🏢🍴 Thanks to [Supercharge](https://supercharge.io/careers) for the drinks and hosting us in their lovely office, and the organizers of [mDevCamp](https://mdevcamp.eu) for the food and discounted conference tickets! 🚪 Doors open at 18:00 and the first talk starts at 18:30! 🗓️ The event is free but requires registration, so please RSVP here and don’t forget to update your response if it changes! 📸 We plan to take photos, so if you would not like to appear on them, please tell one of the organizers! **🎤 We are always looking for new presenters, so if you have an idea for a talk, please reach out to us at meetup@androidbudapest.com or submit at [https://androidbudapest.com/talkidea](https://androidbudapest.com/talkidea)!**

Session #28 - Stoicism, Broicism and other intersections
Session #28 - Stoicism, Broicism and other intersections
*“...whatsoever thou doest, whereof thou thyself art the cause, to do it justly: which will be, if both in thy resolution and in thy action thou have no further end, than to do good unto others, as being that, which by thy natural constitution, as a man, thou art bound unto”* **Marcus Aurelius Antonino - Meditations.** **(Session in english!)** Stoicism, was a philosophy started by Zeno of Citium. Centuries after Marcus Aurelius, the "philosopher King" offered through *Meditations,* a direct and personal account on his thoughts and ideas. His message is still widely popular nearly 2,000 years later. More recently Stoicism re-emerged as a hack for self-mastery, achievement and life success. Picked and reinterpreted by modern voices such as Ryan Holiday, and amplified in more controversial forms by figures like Andrew Tate. In this session we will have the opportunity to focus on Marcus Aurelius' *Meditations* and how it has been passed through a filter of today's youtube pop-culture. If you like this philosophy, especially the new version, or hate this philosophy, especially the new version, please accept my most sincere invitation to assist to our session! If you have no idea about what this is, this will certainly be useful, too. We will focus on: *self-accountability, emotional control, power and masculinity, denial of mental health, competition, life as conquest, and finally how these ideas intersect with relationships, gender, and politics.* **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests, and how familiar are they with stoicism (the classic or modern version) **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. Does classic stoicism and the new broicism intersect? The case of Ryan Holiday. 2. Radical self-accountability. Can it backfire? 3. Emotional control. What were Marcus Aurelius' actual takes on the mater? 4. Masculinity. Why is Stoicism often framed as a masculine philosophy? 5. Is emotional restraint a strength — or a social expectation placed on men? 6. Do women have the possibility to choose a stoic way of life, without assuming the traditional female role? 7. Can emotional detachment conflict with intimacy? 8. Is pop-stoicism more a cause or a consequence of today's cooling gender relations? 9. Can Stoicism help with depression? or hide it? 10. Is vulnerability an act of weakness? 11. Where is the line between discipline and self-neglect? 12. How aligned is the idea of brutal competitive life achievement to stoicism? 13. Would a classic stoic pursue dominance, influence or wealth? How important was it for them? 14. Why now? What can be the reasons for stoicism's new found popularity? 15. Is “focus on what you control” psychologically realistic in complex societies? 16. Can Stoicism be used to rationalize hierarchy, oppression and inequality? *** **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup to save your space and if you cannot assist, yield your space to another person in the waiting list. We welcome donations from 1.000 HUF (min 400 HUF) to keep the costs of the meetup. **If you order food, or alcohol-free wines, you dont need to donate for the group. Thank you!**

Csendes Könyvklub - EXTRA alkalom - FSZEK
English below \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 📚 A megszokott ütemhez képest itt egy extra alkalom most csütörtökön! Gyere és folytasd az olvasmányod a csendes könyvklubunkon a Fővárosi Szabó Ervin Könyvtárban: hozd magaddal az aktuális könyvedet, merülj el benne egy órácskát, majd oszd meg velünk, amit olvastál. 🗺 **Hogyan találsz meg minket:** A Központi Könyvtár fő épületének **Metszéspont** termében leszünk (régi tanulótér): a könyvtárba belépve haladj tovább a liftekig, de mielőtt elérnéd őket, fordulj balra a mosdók irányába. Az ott található lépcsőkön gyere fel fél emeletet. 💡 Az eseményen való részvételhez nem szükséges könyvtári regisztráció vagy beiratkozás, csak jelezd, hogy a Csendes Könyvklubra jössz. 🥤 **Étel-ital:** Kérünk, zárható üvegben hozz magaddal innivalót, ha az esemény alatt megszomjaznál. Másból inni, valamint a teremben enni nem lehet, de az épület átriumában üzemel kávézó. 🕑 **A menetrend (változás!):** 17:30–18:00 – Bemutakozókör: mit fogsz olvasni? 18:00–18:45 – Csendes olvasás 18:45–19:30 – Kiscsoportos beszélgetés a könyvekről (opcionális) 🍹 Az esemény után igény szerinti **afterezés** a [Prága Kávéház és Sörözőben](https://pragakavezo.hu/) (Baross u 8.), hogy ne csak könyvekről beszélgessünk! Ha csak erre jönnél, írj üzenetet, hogy ne kerüljük el egymást. 🇭🇺 Fontos: Ez egy teljesen **magyar nyelvű esemény**. A bemutatkozó kör az elején és a kötetlen beszélgetés a végén is magyarul zajlik. Az olvasás csendje persze mindenkié, így nyugodtan hozhatsz bármilyen nyelvű könyvet. **✨** **Önkéntes hozzájárulás** A Meetup-felület fenntartására elfogadunk adományokat, hogy eseményeket az eddig megszokott színvonalon és nyitott emberek között tarthassuk. Kérjük, amennyiben lehetőséged van rá, támogasd a könyvklubot! Az eseményen lesz adománygyűjtő doboz és Revolut QR kód. Köszönjük mindenkinek, aki eddig támogatott minket! Várunk szeretettel! \-\-\-\- Please note: This is a Hungarian-language event. The introductions at the beginning and the optional discussion at the end are held in Hungarian.

Meditation (English)
Meditation (English)
Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest! The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes) Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners. The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation. * Do I need any special clothing? No special clothing needed. * Does the attendance cost anything?

0 to 1 with AI: Real Product Talks
0 to 1 with AI: Real Product Talks
**ProductTank NoVA is back!** After a brief hiatus, we are relaunching the chapter with a format that cuts out the fluff and gets straight to the reality of building. Every product feed is flooded with AI hype right now, but what does it actually look like on the ground? Instead of a polished keynote, we are hosting **0 to 1 with AI: Real Product Talks**—a "Show & Tell" featuring 3–4 lightning talks focused on the intersection of AI and product. The framing for the talks is simple: *"Here is what I'm building, and here is what I'm stuck on."* We want to look at the messy, 0-to-1 reality of integrating AI into your workflows and products. *(Want to share what you are working on? Reach out! The bar is low-pressure, just 10–12 minutes to talk about a real AI problem you are trying to solve.)* **Agenda:** * **5:30 PM - 6:00 PM:** Doors open, networking, & name tags * **6:00 PM - 6:10 PM:** Welcome + Chapter Relaunch Intro * **6:10 PM - 7:30 PM:** Lightning Talks (Three 12-min talks + 5 mins Q&A each, with a 5-min stretch break) * **7:30 PM - 8:00 PM:** Open networking * **8:00 PM:** Soft close **Location & Logistics:** Herndon Fortnightly Library (Extended Hours Meeting Room) 768 Center St, Herndon, VA 20170 * **Parking:** We'll meet at the library, located just behind the Herndon Municipal Center. There is plenty of free public parking available around the municipal center. * **Metro & Bus:** Take the Silver Line to Herndon Metro Station, then connect via Fairfax Connector Route 921 or 950 to Historic Downtown Herndon. * **Driving (via VA-267/Dulles Toll Rd):** Take Exit 10 North (Centreville Rd, which becomes Elden St).
