well I guess that's a lie because I tried to build Eclipse against JDK17 and it says
[ERROR] ========================: Type org.eclipse.tycho.core.maven.TargetPlatformWorkspaceReader not present: org/eclipse/tycho/core/maven/TargetPlatformWorkspaceReader has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 61.0
About to go to bed, so avoiding to look it up, but if anyone here knows:
Why did Classic MacOS have so many typedefs that were variations of Str255? Like ConstStr255Param ?
Was that just a workaround to deal with Pascal generating different code for these under the hood?
digging through old emails in a database, wtf was this???

Calling all #Signal experts. I'm getting this: "Something went wrong with your username, it’s no longer assigned to your account. You can try and set it again or choose a new one." Tried setting from the phone and from the laptop (iOS and Windows respectively), no dice. What should I do now? @signalapp
@pertho @jae you read a lie, it has nothing to do with GnuPG. It uses a Rust implementation of PGP called rpgp which has been audited multiple times
github.com/rpgp/rpgp/blob/main…
OpenPGP implemented in pure Rust, permissively licensed - rpgp/rpgpGitHub
@pertho openpgp.org/software/deltachat…
not sure how crusty or black you could make it. but the shxt just works. feld and i use it daily for over a year at this point.
@jae @pertho the thing that blows peoples minds is how FAST it is as a messenger. They just assume it's gotta be slow because it's email underneath and there will be greylisting and other anti-spam nonsense that will make it frustrating to use.
But this is more like how email worked before anyone did spam filtering at all: fast, direct. Messages delivered via modern internet in less than 1 second usually.
@pertho @jae I would recommend forgetting email exists here at all, install the app, click create account, write a username and bio if you want, and then you're done
you don't even need to know the email address or password involved. Your identity is your PGP key, not your email address, and soon the email addresses being used will begin rotating across a whole network of servers, you'll have multiple paths that you can be reached at, etc etc. And they'll be disposable identities.
how? if the servers involved can only send encrypted mails, we can allow accounts to be created on demand. Spammers can't use them because they won't have any victims to spam unless they can acquire not just the active email addresses of user accounts, but also their public keys... which they won't be able to do
@pertho @jae people you want to chat with on there will have to share their invite link as a URL or QR code (safe to do over insecure comms). Then you'll be able to add them as a contact.
it's so easy to setup, give it a shot. I have an account linked in my bio here if you want to test.
also you can have multiple accounts/identities unlike Signal. This gives you some flexibility for further controlling your opsec
@pertho @jae FINALLY someone who thinks this is cool. Most people are like "but I want to use my own crappy mail server stack / Gmail AND I want to keep using my email address I use for everything else"
ok cool cool nice opsec bud, nobody will ever figure out your identity if they get your hands on addresses used in a conversation

Re: last boost (aus.social/@MattHatton/1153703…), it may be hyperbolic, but we all know there's a kernel of truth. Now, what are we software developers going to do about this fucked up situation? I don't know, except sometime I want to ship a whole non-trivial desktop app written entirely in Rust, and hope that I don't fuck up its startup time.

The… cool people… at @thunderbird have released a new feature called "Account Hub". It works exactly with Outlook.com and Google Mail and crashes on any self-hosted mail server 🤦.
Do they even test their crap with independent systems? OIDC support being limited to Google and a handful others in code was one thing, but how does a feature that simply breaks all mail accounts but GAFAM make it into a release?

Sabem porque é que eu vos digo para usarem ferramentas AI em grande volume desde que não paguem nem um chavo às empresas de AI?
Porque a AI é uma bolha. Como qualquer bolha, quando rebentar vai ter efeitos na economia real. Mas quando mais depressa rebentar, menos efeitos terá. Se rebentar antes dos idiotas meterem AI em tudo será muito menos destrutiva do que rebentando depois.
Portanto, façamo-la rebentar depressa. Usem AI todos os dias. Não lhes deem um tostão furado.
was just chatting with a former student about how much interesting compiler work never gets written up, and of course other work is written up and then forgotten.
on that topic, was there ever a good overview or retrospective for Microsoft's Phoenix compiler? and does anyone have an educated guess as to how many engineer-years they put into it?

The R1000 is deeply interesting for more reasons than you can imagine, but what impresses most people is this:
Imagine you maintain a library in some corner of $ReallyBigAndImportantProject and one of your exported functions has a parameter which defaults to 3.
Now you want to change the default to 4.
Who do you call ?
On the R1000, you change the 3 to 4 and when you try to commit that change, it will tell you /precisely/ which other code modules would be /semantically/ affected by that change, and ask you what to do about that.
Only calls which do not explicitly specify that parameter will be on the list.
When we demo that for modern developers, some of them get upset that was possible in 1980 but they can't do it today.
idk what to say other than these dudes look exactly how I expected

@jscholes The UK and US are the only two countries with "ID allergy."
In the rest of Europe (and the rest of the world)., it is obvious that every citizen has an ID card, (which is distinct from any other document which could potentially be used for identification, like a passport or driver's license).
Even Germany, which is famously stubborn about things like these (they don't have a single citizen identification number for example) has ID cards.
@FreakyFwoof @jscholes Not having an ID doesn't mean your data is safer, in fact, it's just the opposite.
Without an ID, it's much harder to prove who you are, so organizations that need to do so have to collect more data about you.

One advantage of using #AdGuardHome is that it provides statistics on the responsiveness of public DNS providers.
For me, #DNS4EU is by far the fastest (10 ms). Perhaps it's because of their geographical proximity, as they're also based in Czechia. The slowest has been #quad9 at 500 ms. I have no idea why.
I'm also glad to learn that DoH doesn't have a significant speed penalty. It's 12 ms versus 10 ms for DNS4EU. So you don't have to trade privacy for responsiveness.
What has been your experience with #DNS providers based in Europe? Do you have any recommendations? I'm interested in unfiltered DNS because I do the filtering in AdGuard Home.
