Gitter has at last gone fully Matrix-native - app.gitter.im is now a branded version of Element! 🚀 All your history should be still there, imported into Matrix; we’ve tried to make the transition as seamless as possible. See blog.gitter.im/2023/02/13/gitt… for full details.
Today, you will have noticed that Gitter looks a little different. In fact, you may recognize it as Element, the flagship Matrix client you might already be familiar with.
Still looking for a project or two to get me through the rest of the year while I continue work on #TheBadSpace and #Fipamo.
Ideally, I'm looking for remote, part-time postings in web development and design and/or product management that will let me balance my time between client work and pushing my projects forward.
I'm not opposed to full-time gigs if they are remote, but it has to be the proper fight.
I have 20+ years of experience in development and design, so I have an extensive and diverse range of skills that allows me to contribute to projects in multiple ways. Ha, and I've broken enough stuff to know nothing is worth panicking about.
New: it happened, AI voices are now a tool for harassment. Spoke to 4 victims. Attackers used AI to make a copy of their voice, had it read out the victim's address, post online. Anyone with their voice online—podcasters, streamers—could be victim to this vice.com/en/article/93axnd/voi…
The harassment campaign shows that if there is audio of you speaking available online—podcasts, streams, YouTube—you could also be a target of AI-generated voices.

Inspired by my previous two boosts, on "adversarial collaboration" (journals.plos.org/plosone/arti…) and "adversarial review" (themarkup.org/hello-world/2023…), I'll share my preferred methodology for hypothesis-driven research, which I suppose can be called "adversarial triangulation":
When I have a strong hunch, I design a hypothesis that is maximally likely to refute it. If it doesn't, I do the same thing again with a different angle of observation and a different method. If it still hasn't been refuted, I do the same thing *again* before I'm finally convinced. If any of it involves Bayesian stats, I use an informed-but-unfriendly prior.
If you want to be sure your pre-conceptions don't inadvertently tug your results, you could do worse than stacking the deck against your beliefs while using three different approaches that rely on different types of observations.
The relationship between conscious experience and brain activity has intrigued scientists and philosophers for centuries. In the last decades, several theories have suggested different accounts for these relationships.
All the hype about souped up developer productivity using LLMs for coding reminds me of the original title of this 2014 paper, before it was milquetoasted in 2015 acceptance.
LLMs can help you rapidly acquire semi-plagiarized fragments of well-traveled code instead of using a quality library with vision of the problem domain. Might be great for KPIs, but this debt will come back to bite you, unless you're already gone. Will be painful for orgs to adapt. research.google/pubs/pub43146/
I was suprised that a small #ski resort such a #Benecko has an online skipass shop nowadays. It's cool. No queues, there is just an machine issueing the skipass card by scanning the barcode.
One small issue is, that you need to visit the ticket office when you want to return the deposited card. And the office is only at the bottom lift station. Not cool if you are parking elsewhere.
Out of the scope of this improvement, but since you're talking about the hamburger menu. Will there ever be support to add the menu bar to the KDE global menu?
@uhertlein @furicle That's a tricky one. We want NEW users to find that intuitively, but then again we want to have the main app menu populated with frequently used and important settings.
@uhertlein @furicle In the video Alessandro posted on YouTube, they mentioned an onboarding modal. I think that would be a good place to have it for new users while not taking up space in the menu
LOVING it!!! Loving the quick access buttons for density and font size right there! Would love to see more easy access buttons like that for common needs!
The one thing I really want on #Thunderbird is the ability to disable ALL telementry and other unknown connections. The only place Thunderbird should be connecting to is my email provider's POP and SMTP servers. If it wants to connect to anything else there should be a way to get a full explanation of where it is going, why it is going there, and ther ability to block that connection if it is doing things I don't want it to do. I definitely do NOT want it trying to sync anything to any online cloud service!
(Yes, I know some people prefer using IMAP, that's fine. And if there is a connection that ONLY checks for updates to Thunderbird and does nothing else that would be fine too, but as it is Thunderbird just wants to connect to various thunderbird.net, mozilla.com, and firefox.com addresses with no explanation of why or what it's doing, so those get denied in Little Snitch.)
Basically Thunderbird needs to be much more transparent about what it's connecting to, and give users the opportunity to opt out without having to use external connection blockers. The "just trust us" mentality that many developers have just doesn't cut it in these times, particularly for anyone who values #privacy.
it's hard, effectively invalid, to compare two so functionally different menus. You'd have to explore them in action to understand how easy is it to get where you want to go. Because that is what you hope clarity improves, but it isn't clear that it will looking at this.
Looks good, but hopefully you take the opportunity to "fix" the fly-in menus. They make sense on a mobile device with limited screen real estate, but on a desktop they just increase the cognitive load and hide information from the previous menu.
Won't the use of the word "account" on the menu get confusing ? It's used meaning "email account" but with sync present it could also be interpreted as "user (sync) account".
both not great. Where Do i find "view source"? Why would one change size regularly? Why hbirger Menu at All? Looks like the desicion Was "Hamburger Menü" and then you searched for Content to Display there.
Just open TB 1.0 and check the options there. Then decode what is still usefull and what is missing. After that Think about how t preaent Them to the User. If Its a Hamburger Menu: fine. If Not Do better.
maybe you can gimme an answer if a arm64 build for windows is also planned in the future. would be great for my SurfaceProX and other Windows on Arm devices.
nice, getting there! Please do have an experienced product designer look at this, there’s are still so many design improvement possibilities on the right 👏
Both my employers went for "e-mail in the cloud" and have fallen for Microsoft's Office 365 solution. Academic institutions used to be at the forefront of internet technology, pioneers in adopting e-mail. I feel now they're contributing to its demise by ever-greater centralisation. Read my frustrations in my new blog post "Rant against centralising e-mail in big-tech silos": proycon.anaproy.nl/posts/rant-…
@TheFake_VIP ever tried to run your own e-mail server? I did with @MailInABox and there were so many headaches I eventually moved to Proton and Office365 myself. KolabNow I tried and they had lackluster security, no proper 2FA, and support was horrible. Reality is security is vital, as well as e-mail deliverability and it’s next to impossible without using a larger provider. Plus office365 is scalable and offers way more than just email. That’s the reality of it
@chiefgyk3d @MailInABox I never have in anger, but I have out of curiosity, and it's still working, but obviously there's a flaw in that logic.
As is mentioned on a few episodes of 2.5admins.com (forgive me for not having the episode numbers to hand), I think there's a case to be made that at least *some* of that headache is *because* of the big providers owning the market, and thus having say over how basically *all* email gets routed. Couple that with the fact that email is the foundation upon which we've built basically every single web service now, so the mail must get through, and you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
@TheFake_VIP @chiefgyk3d @MailInABox I fully agree with that assessment yes. Big providers owning the market plays a big role in the e-mail headaches we have.
Others are more to do with the inherent design of e-mail itself and it never having really been designed in principle with problems like spam and phishing in mind.
@TheFake_VIP @MailInABox with Office365 I also get SSO, Identity Management and a whole suite of tools and automations that are more than just email. Even as much as I have disdain for Google’s way of doing things it still makes sense to go with G-Suite or 365 over most self hosted or other e-mail provider because put simply, it’s more than just about e-mail but an entire work and collaboration platform that can scale with little investment for business 🤷♂️
@chiefgyk3d @MailInABox I can agree with that I suppose, not knowing much about how one *could* do things like MFA or SSO. TOTP is really easy to implement though, assuming the mail protocols have been extended to support it (which they probably haven't), surely someone, somewhere, has set up a mail server to use that?
@TheFake_VIP @MailInABox no I have not seen any email provider offering such that’s actually why I killed off my own e-mail server. It was hard finding ones to support TOTP at the email inbox let alone FIDO which I am now moving everything over to, and have Jumpcloud as my identity management. Which is another issue so many systems outside Google and Microsoft don’t allow for SSO which is growing in need for businesses. Don’t get me started on zero trust 🙃
@chiefgyk3d @TheFake_VIP @MailInABox Yes. I've been running my own mailserver for about 20 years, and still do so now despite the adversity nowadays. I agree it's not trivial, causes a fair amount of headaches at times and security indeed is vital. But it's doable as long as the big parties don't break deliverability by locking the smaller ones out.
Watch Philip's talk at #FOSDEM, where he covers the API and prototypes for 'connectbyname', a library function that takes as input a DNS name and returns a TLS connection, as well as a new EDNS(0) option called Proxy Control option that allows stub resolvers to send requirements to a local proxy.
We're developing an #API in #rustlang that can internally use asynchronous #DNS lookups, implement Happy Eyeballs, support #DANE, SVCB/HTTPS, encrypted client hello, etc.
✨ GStreamer Rust bindings 0.20 and Rust plugins 0.10 release is out
This release features the addition of a few convenience APIs, the addition of bindings for some minor APIs and a lot of internal changes to improve performance and code generation.
rel=me links are an important part to verify users on Mastodon, but not every site provides a visible link to follow or you have to search around. StreetPass is a little extension for Chromium and FF which collects those REL links while browsing. Extremely convenient … Thank you @tvler
This issue was a tough one to publish, but I need you to know: If you're struggling in #academia, you are not alone. 🫶
Please share with anyone who needs to hear this.
I quit academia and I don't regret it at all. In the post I am sharing why I am happier and feel like I am doing more for the scientific community outside of academia.
In May 2021 I left academia. I am finally ready to tell my story why I did and why I belief that I can do more for science from where I am now. From an outsiders perspective I had a fabulous career in science.

Vážení uživatelé #fcz i příznivci z jiných Mastodonů a odjinud z Fediverse,
Díky, že s námi zůstáváte. Jak jsem už vysvětloval v konferenci na NYXu o Mastodonu a Fediverse ( nyx.cz/discussion/279037 ) - pokud máte potřebu evangelizovat davy, tak odsud asi odejdete, protože ty davy tu zkrátka nejsou.
Ale pokud vás baví stát mimo hlavní proud a rozjíždět něco, co bude in třeba teprve až za 10 let, tak jste tady podle mě správně.
První spam v Arpanetu byl odeslán prý již v roce 1978 😉
A Musk no le salen los números: el uso de Twitter disminuye un 9% y solo el 0,2% de los usuarios pagan
Los hábitos de consumo de los usuarios, la desconfianza ante el nuevo rumbo de la red social y que las novedades que se han ido implementado han causado cierta indiferencia, causas para este bajón en el uso de la plataforma
