I never thought about this before for some reason, but babies dream in the womb. They have REM sleep, so presumably have dreams based on their limited experience.
What was my first ever dream like? If I could experience it now would it be the most peaceful experience, or possibly terrifying to a grown adult?
Now is as good a time as any, so I am happy to announce that we have an #XMPP assembly at #39C3, as part of the Critical Decentralization Cluster habitat (decentral.community/39C3/). All creatures interested in federated messaging welcome!
Petite annonce sympa : J'ai été invité à participer aux Rencontres Hivernales du Libre qui se dérouleront fin janvier à Saint-Cergue, en Suisse.
J'y donnerai une conférence de 1h à propos de XMPP, dont voici le titre et la description :
« XMPP ou comment ne pas réinventer la roue : Messagerie fédérée et sécurisée en 2026 »
----- « Oh non ! La messagerie instantanée que j'utilise vient de se faire racheter par un Venture Capital… C'est la 3eme en 5 ans ! »
Et si au lieu de sauter de produit en produit tous les 2 ans, on utilisait plutôt un protocole fiable, standardisé, qui fonctionne depuis 25 ans et qui fonctionnera encore pendant les 25 prochains sans pouvoir se faire racheter ?
Cette conférence a pour but de présenter XMPP et plus particulièrement ses évolutions ces 5 dernières années : Clients modernes, chiffrement de bout en bout, salons de discussion mais aussi les collectifs et communautés qui le font exister. Venez découvrir la messagerie instantanée que vous n'aurez pas besoin de quitter d'ici 5 ans ! -----
D'ailleurs, si vous connaissez ou avez entendu parler de XMPP, je vous invite à lire le post juste sous celui-ci ↓
Si tu as déjà entendu parler de XMPP ou si tu as déjà utilisé XMPP, je serai intéressé d'avoir un petit retour sur ton expérience.
Si tu en a déjà entendu parler mais jamais essayé :
- Qu'est-ce que tu as entendu à propos de XMPP ? - Est-ce que ça t'as donné envie d'essayer ou non ? - Qu'est-ce qui te fait penser que ça serait fait pour toi ou au contraire pas du tout ?
Si tu as déjà essayé :
- Quelle a été ton expérience ? - En quelle année était ton dernier essai ? - Tu as testé quels clients ?
It's so underrated how, because of the Thailand-Cambodia war, I get to see just how far aflung native Malay speakers can be up north as they each fight with each other's talking points in Malay 💀💀💀 #tootSEA
Ježíšek? V podstatě nuda. V Katalánsku mají "kakací poleno" (Tio de Nadal).
Domů se poleno přinese po 8. prosinci (den Neposkvrněného početí Panny Marie), nazdobí se a přikryje se dekou. Do Vánoc musí děti poleno „krmit“ zbytky jídla a ovocem, aby si tak zajistily dostatečný přísun dárků. Na Štědrý večer nebo Boží Hod pak do polena tlučou klacky a zpívají speciální písně „cagatío“, které mají donutit Tía vykálet dárky pod deku (kam je podstrčí rodiče).
Dárky jsou obecně menší věci, např. sladkosti (turrón), ořechy, sušené fíky a drobnější dárky. Větší a hodnotnější dárky jsou, tak jako v celém Španělsku, přinášeny až 6. ledna Třemi králi.
A tiny human (2?) is hugging Dad around the neck. But wait! He's not a tiny human! He's a BIG SHARK! And he's gonna eat Dad's face! Making mighty munching "UM UM UM" noises as laughter bubbles up from Dad's tummy.
A woman (40s?) is standing by her open car door. Groceries loosely placed on her back seat. A tray of fresh strawberries in her hand. She's got to get her market veges home but first... maybe she should eat some of these strawberries. A small smile as she tries her first one.
A teen (13?) has been given the task of carrying a bunch of asparagus while Mum chooses tomatoes. But wait. This is not asparagus! It's a microphone for broadcasting all of Mum's movements and motivations! Wearing a devilishly cheeky smile. Ducking Mum's swat with a laugh and a yelp.
A man (50s?) in a faded band T-shirt, paint-flecked shorts and boots is quickly striding through the markets while wearing a determined expression. He's got multiple packets of bratwurst sausages in his arms. He's got places to go and things to do. And they most likely involve barbeque.
A woman (18?), the spitting image of a young Joni Mitchell is inspecting a cherry stall. Long blonde hair, a white crochet top, flair jeans and bare feet. She picks up a bag of cherries and looks at it thoughtfully before turning to grin at a nearby busker who grins back.
it's a UI glitch if the please-wait message stays although the chat is usable already. Will be fixed with next release. Otherwise the message indicates that the other side needs to be online a d receive the invite handshake still.
I am 100% likely to recommend @Tutanota as a Gmail replacement. VERY happy with the service. If you're ready to #deGoogle #unGoogle or say #ByeGoogle, this is an excellent and impactful place to start.
Tax wealth — Created by anonymous artist network Brandalism, the action comes ahead of Black Friday, when UK shoppers are expected to spend £6.5 billion as brands run discounted sales of their products.
On this day, two years ago, we published the first chatmail relay, delta.chat/en/2023-12-13-chatm… along with templates to replicate the setup, without needing any permission. Two weeks ago we thought there are 60 relays when a hacker handed in a 100+ list 😂 A bunch of knowledgeable folks are now maintaining track of health of the evolving global network, and supporting new operators. 💜💥🖤
thx also for all the support here on the fediverse! its been a wild year and #39c3 is in 13 days to top it off 😅
Today, we are unveiling chatmail services, making onboarding with Delta Chat a breeze, with peace of mind: Convenience: Get a chatmail address in a few seconds Privacy: No questions asked, no name,...
Account Suspension Notice: Dear TheTechnologicalGenius, We're getting in touch to let you know that your Ramblio account has been temporarily suspended. Based on activity on your account (for example, things said in audio posts or reports from other users), it appears that this account may belong to someone under the age of 18. We don't store your date of birth or age directly, so this decision is based on behaviour, content and/or reports. Ramblio is an audio-first social platform designed for adults. People can share unfiltered conversations and discussions that may include strong language and other mature themes. To keep younger users safe and to meet our legal and policy obligations, accounts for people under 18 aren't allowed. If we have got this wrong, we're genuinely sorry for the inconvenience. You can contact our support team at support@techcake.co.uk and provide any relevant information that shows you are 18 or over so we can review this decision and, if appropriate, restore access to your account. We understand this may be disappointing, and we really appreciate your understanding while we work to keep the community safe. Kind regards, The Ramblio Team.
This message was sent to **************@outlook.com regarding your Ramblio account. If you believe this message was sent in error, please reach out to our support team.
so half of us have to be over 18 just to use ramblio? Sad..., Based on activity on your account (for example, things said in audio posts or reports from other users), it appears that this account may belong to someone under the age of 18. We don't store your date of birth or age directly, so this decision is based on behaviour, content and/or reports.. Again, sad
@delta I just saw that you can now add several relay servers to one account, that's neat! But I remember that accounts get automatically deleted if you don't talk to them for some time, how is that solved for secondary backup relays I might add and never use?
IMAP connections to secondary relays are maintained to receive messages that might arrive there from contacts that don't know yet you have switched to another relay.
ok, nice! So if my main server explodes before I switched, I would have to send all of my contacts a message from the other server to make sure they can contact me?
And secondary question: When will the Flatpack Desktop Version be updated with this feature?
at best follow the support forum where the last 2.33+ release issues are discussed and resolved and announcements happen. Still some road blocks on some of the ~15 store targets, but that's normal. There is always one or another release target making new problems, compliance, build problems or some crash on particular devices. We are trying our best to push it all out :)
@Delta Chat Is it okay to add more relays and keep using the original one as the primary? Once the primary goes down or has a temporary hiccups, can I continue the conversation and replies will be addressed to the backup relay? I am trying to figure out if adding another relay to my account profile is enough or if I should do something else to make my chats more proof to single relay failures.
Gut beobachtet. Allerdings nur ein ganz kleiner exemplarischer Ausschnitt des Gesamtbildes der Entwicklung.
Man wäre gut beraten, auf allen Ebenen der Politik auf die Ränder zu schauen. Sie sind mitunter die Vorboten dessen, was sich Jahre später in den Zentren zeigt:
Ein blauer Trabant 500, besetzt mit zwei Uniformierten, pendelte zum Jahrestag der Grenzöffnung zwischen Grenze und Kulturhaus in Lehesten. Nostalgie ersetzt Geschichte.
V tomto oceňuji Nextcloud, kde to všechno dostanu v jednom balíčku a nemusím řešit samostatný server pro každý protokol mojí osobní agendy. Ale přiznávám, že KISS a "Do one thing and do it right" přístup to úplně není. 🙂
@sesivany Postavit si vlastní cloud z těchhle simple věcí je super. Ale to si můžu dovolit tak akorát pro sebe. Pro BFU potřebuju AIO řešení, kam se přihlásej jedním účtem a budou tam mít všechno. 😄 Ono je i tak dost na pytel, že pro kalendář a kontakty v rámci Nextcloudu na Androidu potřebuješ DAVx5. Ale aspoň to má webový UI.
@Razemix mně to zase tak marné nepřijde. Záleží na modelu. My máme ve firmě Cursor a Claude Code a ti toho umí fakt hodně. Třeba jsem jim v rámci experimentu předhodil můj migrační skript, ať to přepíše do desktopové aplikace. A ono se to fakt povedlo. Strávil jsem s tím hodiny, protože v kontextu GUI tam vzniknou problémy, které v CLI člověk neřeší, a zároveň jsem chtěl, aby to běželo ve Flatpaku, což některé operace komplikuje. Ale povedlo se. Dnes to dělá, co má, jen to chce vyladit rozhraní a UX. Sám bych to dával dohromady desítky hodin. Samozřejmě to pořád beru jako experiment a nehledím na nějakou dlouhodobou udržitelnost. Tam si myslím, že by mě to doběhlo. Tohle si troufnu poskytovat jen u něčeho, co jsem dal dohromady svými znalostmi a kde u všeho vím (nebo si aspoň po nějakém přemýšlení dokážu vzpomenou), proč to tam je a jak to funguje.
@Razemix ale i u těchto modelů nad tím musí sedět člověk, který tomu rozumí a ví, co chce, protože to často volí nesprávná řešení a když to narazí na slepou uličku, tak to nedokáže ten přístup zahodit a zacyklí se. A pak si fakt myslím, že zkušení vývojáři tam opravdu nebudou mít nějaký nárůst výkonnosti. Oni dokážou programovat tak rychle, že ten vibecoding s dodatečným velkým debugováním je pro ně ve výsledku pomalejší a s horším výsledkem. Já jsem nikdy nebyl denní programátor, znovu a znovu se do toho jazyka musím dostávat a proto píšu pomalu, pro mě tam nárůst rychlosti je velký, ale zároveň jsem si vědom všech těch negativ, takže k tomu mám pořád spíš rezervovaný přístup.
I try not to involve myself with politics, but I just can't say something to this.
Seems I will not be visiting the USA any time soon if this revision to the ESTA system or Form I-94 is actually inacted.
This is the information they will be asking for, if this comes to pass. In particular point I is the most scary:
a. Telephone numbers used in the last five years; b. Email addresses used in the last ten years; c. IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos; d. Family member names (parents, spouse, siblings, children); e. Family number telephone numbers used in the last five years; f. Family member dates of birth; g. Family member places of birth; h. Family member residencies; i. Biometrics—face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris; j. Business telephone numbers used in the last five years; k. Business email addresses used in the last ten years.
"Effective with plan year 2026 all bronze level and catastrophic plans are statutorily now HDHPs and thus HSA compatible. You may get and self-fund an HSA if you have any bronze or catastrophic plan, as well as any plan of any level designated a HDHP."
One amazing thing about 2025 is that, if you start up an Apple product, it forces you to choose between _three different_ window mangers, but if you start up a clean install of a current version of Linux, it just chooses good defaults for you.

And those who think "they ship from the US it's cheap", you are wrong. The border wall make that it cost more to ship from New York to Montreal than New York to LA or even Hawaii.
GNOME.Asia Summit is the featured annual GNOME conference in Asia. It focuses primarily on the GNOME desktop but also covers applications and platform development tools.
OTTAWA - In a stunning move, progressive conservative MP Michael Ma crossed the floor Thursday to the progressive conservative Liberal Party, just a few weeks after similar minded progressive conservative Conservative MP Chris d'Entremont did the sam…
I get the feeling that the band Terra Glitch is actually AI generated music. It's really well done, so I'm not sure, but the fact that all of their albums were released in the last 18 months makes the idea that it is not AI less plausible to me...
They are my new favorite band... I'm just not sure. Maybe very prolific?
If I were on #spotify, I’d cancel my subscription/account immediately.
King Gizzard pulled their music from the platform so Spotify has replaced it with #AI knockoffs of their music. As if paying almost nothing for streaming wasn’t evil enough, they’re now using LLMs trained on stolen content to pay artists nothing at all.
