WhatsApp Desktop Faces Major Update: Users Warned of Forced Logout and Resource-Hungry Upgrade
WhatsApp is preparing to log users out of its PC applications with a sweeping update set to begin on December 9, 2025. This comes as part of Meta’s plan to replace the older native Windows WhatsApp with a Chromium-based version—a move that promises new features but significantly increases system resource usage. While this is not the first warning, it signals a major shift in…

AI shopping assistants now pick sizes and fill carts for you.
WebExpo 2023 speaker @tink asked a bold question. If agents browse for us, what even is the web now?
She zoomed in on what this means for accessibility and why the next UX challenge may involve non-human users.

Some of you have asked if Cadence uses a membrane or film over dots, and the answer is no. I'm told this was a deliberate choice, to make the cells feel more crisp and sharp. Indeed, their rigidity reminds me of Orbit cells, but you can push down on them and when you lift your finger they spring back up. While you lose out on uninterrupted graphics (since Cadence uses Braille spacing, meaning there's a gap every 2 columns,) you get a pocketable reading device that's prioritized for that task. I was thinking to myself how most of these companies approached the multiline Braille concept purely from the graphic side, not so much making reading portable. For many of these companies Braille is another product alongside magnifiers or screen readers, or big-name medical groups sponsor them. (Dot Inc is an exception here.) So they didn't have the creativity to think, "what if we made smaller versions of this? 4 lines of 12 or 20?" Still find this a bit astounding and sad, until Cadence came along. They took a lost opportunity and made it real.

#deltachat PSAs regarding the last 24 hours:
1) If you messaged someone about 20-30 hours ago, and did not get an expected response/receipt better "resend" (long-tap or right-click the message to resend). Unfortunately, not all queued messages at the crashing nine.testrun.org server made it to the new one.
2) 2.33+ app releases are rolling out, supporting using "multiple relays" so that failing relays (like happened above) will not cause lost messages anymore. See support.delta.chat/t/how-to-mi…
How to migrate your profile to another relay (version 2.33)

there is a blog post coming. bear with us :)
but roughly the current first multi-relay release introduces the ability to have more than one relay associated to your chat profile. You can choose what is your primary device, but will receive messages also on all secondaries. This is just an intermediate step towards another release where the outcome will be: if any relay works, the message will get through. single relays failing don't matter.
Would it mean that is also a way to change a severer without losing the connections? Say somebody started 2018 with Gmail but now wants to be recognized on their own server (e.g., own company …)?
You are certainly right when you say “it's more complicated than you might think”. I am fine with waiting.
BTW, I always like these non-noisy updates. The last one included "calls" which is a big deal. However, it seemed to have the same importance as “we fixed this one bug that affect one person in a hypothetical scenario”. In this release, there is yet another big feature.
Keep up the good work.

@kbruen well I guess that is a matter of opinion? because this other person is saying totally the opposite:
mastodont.cat/@spla/1156953525…
and besides that, setup is something you do only once, the real struggle comes next, I have never self-hosted matrix but see people complaining or even de-federating due to server burden, while I do host a #chatmail server with +8k users in a 5eur VPS using 1.2gb of ram and 19gb of disk, now try the same with #matrix
I am total noob self-hoster btw
spla (@spla@mastodont.cat)
He provat tres programaris de #MissatgeriaInstantània, tant com administrador com usuari. El meu resum. - #Matrix, servidor complexe d'instal·lar i configurar, molt lent federant sales. Menja força recursos de màquina.mastodont.cat, cultura catalana.
@kbruen for example, here you have an article of someone that has been selfhosting matrix for 5 years:
Self hosting using Conduit is as easy as running an executable as a service, then configuring a reverse proxy to point to it. Very easily done with a systemd service, very easily done with a Docker container.
The only documented method to self host a Chatmail relay is to run a magical deploy script that has SSH access to the root account. Root access for a script is unacceptable unless it's the only thing running on that machine, and I don't want to dedicate a machine to Chatmail only.

People are getting worried over the state of #httpie
github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1…
State of the project
I am just wondering what's the state of the project? I see the last commit was 9 months ago and latest release almost a year ago.Blarc (GitHub)
Isn't that just "xh, but slow and written in Python?"
I switched to xh from httpie a good while ago because of the abysmall startup performance.
We currently have three pending CVEs to be announced in the next #curl release (severity low + medium x 2)
All three found with AI powered tooling.
So it is happening.
My concern here that LLMs do give worse-than results than something like Sonar - in many cases *static* code analysis was good enough to catch things that LLMs miss.
Ideally we would still use different tools, but GitHub seems to want to push everything into models.
Considering how many garbage AI pull requests you must get, I imagine it's still unclear if the technology is a net positive.
I think it's also important to note that the PRs were reviewed by someone skilled so, while the LLM may have helped, the vulnerabilities were still vetted by a human who understood what was wrong.
