#deltachat is secure against server-side group membership changes but for a very different reason than #signal which keeps encrypted group membership data in a central store.

Weβve just released our take on some of the new features presented during the WWDC 2025 Keynote. In addition, we dive into many features not covered in the keynoteβthings you can expect with the upcoming OS 26 release this fall, including extra accessibility improvements that werenβt mentioned during the GAAD announcements.
We wanted to offer our listeners something fresh since there are so many podcasts already covering WWDC 2025. We hope you enjoy this format, as we explore a lot more than just the keynote highlights.
Weβd love to hear your thoughts on this approach and whether youβd like to see it continued for future Apple Keynote coverage.
In this episode of the AppleVis Extra podcast, host David Mason is joined by Thomas Domville, Tyler Stephen, and newcomer Levi Gobin to unpack everything announced at Appleβs Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

the charger distribution varies really wildly depending on the area. In Italy it goes from almost no chargers in the entire city where I work, to Val D'Aosta where I found a 100kW fast charger in the mountains at the start of a trekking track (tip: in that case do not charge to 100 or you lose the engine brake and waste money).
That said, I'm now 4 years and 65K kms on an EV and I wouldn't go back to gasoline even if I almost only public charge... I love the silence too much to change. Plus, it carried me to Galicia and Brittany (and next month NL) so it's not limiting either, it just requires some more planning.
it does not have a bank of resistors as diesel electric locos which is used to βwasteβ generated electricity while breaking. So if there is no place to store generated electricity, it cannot generate anymore
Turns out I was on the right track all along, but it was just *one line* that needed modification, and not many as I of course did by overthinking it. Go figure. nevertheless, Dectalk for NVDA 2025.1 is ready. wormhole.app/z9jkdy#R2DrSeeMIGβ¦

People have long assumed that wheels evolved from simple wooden rollers. But how? And why? A new model focused on mechanical advantage and structural strength suggests some answers.
Steven Bonk: βWhen Canadians provide their personal information to political parties, whether signing up for a newsletter, attending a town hall or simply expressing support, they are placing trust in us. They expect that information to be treated with care, confidentiality and respect. When that expectation is not met, the harm is not just legal or administrative. It is democratic.β #canpoli #privacy

@cachondo @FreakyFwoof Oh, I donβt use it myself. I donβt know if VoiceOver people will be using those.but for the case of losing your voice and being able to type out phrases with your voice this could work very well, but using this with VoiceOver is definitely creepy.
@cachondo @kevinrj @FreakyFwoof Oh really, thatβs interesting. Just a bit about how this is working under the hood for people that might be curious. I believe itβs using a language model to synthesize the speech rather than the older neural approaches used by personal voice up until recently. This is the same technology 11 labs, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are using. Thatβs why it sounds so good and you donβt need to provide as much training data. To my knowledge, this is the first time an LM based TTS system has been deployed for screen reader use, and Iβm wondering if later on in the beta cycle they will add the newer Siri voices that are based on the same technology. It sounds really good, and you didnβt mention this during the demonstration, but the voice breathes as well at punctuation marks.

Even if I didn't share @glyph's ethical concerns, reading your latest follow-up (lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/6/12/ageβ¦), plus your post here about generating 12K lines of code in 2 days, is enough to convince me not to jump on the "agentic coding" bandwagon. I still want to do more with less code, through powerful languages and libraries, not use an inscrutable tool to crank out large amounts of rote code, which means more to review and more places for bugs to hide.
And #Fujifilm boasting the X-E4 before introducing the X-E5.
It should be noted that when the X-E4 was discontinued, many many pre-orders were still not fulfilled. So maybe the should just forget about it. It still takes a lot of time to get a #Fujifilm camera.

Looking at the photos, the death toll will almost certainly include people on the groundβa 787-9 carries up to 126,000 litres of fuel (over 100 tonnes), and this one was scheduled to fly over half its maximum range, so had at least 50 tonnes of fuel on board.
Calling out this bullshit. I deliberately chose not to subscribe to marketing in the first place but was forced into using their app if I want to make use of the tickets I bought. Less than a week later i'm getting marketing crap.
@HarmonthSeeker That's true: Under GDPR, implied consent isn't valid for marketing purposes. Todaytix are in breech of that, but then so are thousands of other people. I could spend half an hour writing a complaint to the ICO but they'd just get a slap on the wrist.
#AudioMo Day 12: A short clip in which Jake and I go around the electronic store Curries, which is a chain that sells all sorts of things such as computers, TV's, bluetooth speakers, keyboards, phones etc. I just clipped this specific bit out because it's fully of music and ambience.
I love electronic stores, and sumtimes, my family take me. However, it was a much more enjoyable endever back in the day, when technology was new, and mobile phones were just taking off. I used to especially love going, from the years 2007, all the way up to 2012, when it was clear, that the formfacter of phones was permanant, and it got to busy, as i got older, and did more outdoors activities like day camp in the summer, and cheer leader practice during the main school year. After 2013, i especially began to focus on not just my outdoors activities, but schooling, learning piano, and supporting the community around me.
My biggest memory from the days of those type of phone was the huuuge array of models, and loads of plastic versions of the phones so you could see and feel them. I never understood why Braille Display and assistive technology manufacturers didn't produce similar plastic models of their devices, so the blind could get a real feel for them without having to buy and return models.
@fireborn Honestly, i loved the phone carier stores the most! The nice workers, and the phones i got to touch! Because i had a disability, they would let me feel the new phones, taught me how to eject and incert simcards, and let me operate the sellabrite, when that was a way you transfered the data from one phone to another.

Hmm, it would be interesting to gather this somewhere central, say a simple website with a timeline, a bot on Mastodon etc. Best if it were crowdsourced so everyone could add the occasional app update they've spotted. Thanks for doing this.

Spraying the ICE agents with paint using a repurposed fire extinguisher appears to be a turning point in this confrontation in Tucson today. A similar tactic worked well against around thirty cops at a Montreal protest in November 2024, blinding at least one and forcing their whole unit to retreat down an alley.
For no reason at all, we want to share this how-to guide for filling fire extinguishers with paint. Only open on Tor Browser! While the guide uses a large model, we understand there are methods for smaller, more portable extinguishers too.
Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info Fire extinguishers filled with paint have been useful to anarchists in Montreal fighting gentrification, surveillance, and most recently, colonial advertising. 1.
Let me first say that this is another outstanding update on the hole, and I've never used one of these before. I was going to ask if triditional mode could be kept verses blazie mode, but the reason for naming it blazie mode makes sence. This is a very small thing, and I love what you guys are doing. Do you think it might be possible to have grade 2 braille in the desktop side at some point?
That would make an already epic device legendary. ANd I"m glad to leave feedback. You guys do a really good job of listening, which makes wanting to leave feedback that much more enjoyable.
