Advertising that speaks volumes by anonymous artist network, Brandalism. 👏🏼

Check out the other advertising sites that were hacked in London: huckmag.com/article/london-adv…

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 😅

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

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 :)
in reply to Delta Chat

@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.

@pvagner You don't need to keep relays in reserve. It doesn't help right now with the 2.33 releases.

If your current relay goes down, just add a new relay and message your chats. Everybody will use your new relay then.

Early 2026 we work towards another bigger multi-relay release , and then it will make sense to add relays preliminarily, so you won't have to worry about any server breakdown or shutdown, and chatting will just always succeed.

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:

@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.

Still using nvi on Slackware.

No plugins. No syntax highlighting. Just speed, predictability, and classic vi behavior, even with multi-GB files.

I wrote a short guide explaining why nvi still matters and how its architecture enables fast, low-memory editing.

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.

I did something exciting this week! I relaunched my company website: futureethics.ai

It says, boldly, that we want to build ethical and sustainable pro-labor businesses that are pro people and the earth. It's scary to put that out in words because I feel like such an optimistic or naive person. But I don't know how else I can be.

I also started a Mastodon server just for work: @index

Over there, I will talk more about work, ideas, ethics, provide updates.

This post should give you an idea of how I'm structuring this: futureethics.ai/our-2026-busin…
