I think I'm confused. I've had Python 3.12 on this Windows 11 x64 computer for a couple years. I just installed Python 3.14, hoping it might fix the error I get when installing the wave package. I still have c:\python312, but no c:\python314. If I type python into run, I get 3.12. There are no variables referring to Python. defined, and c:\python312 is not on my system path.
1. Where did 3.14 install to?
2. How do I change my default python to 3.14?
3. How is 3.12 being found at all?

when you don't write alt text, I just think you're an ignorant loser
when you write hostile alt text, I think you're a complete asshole who deserves a swift kick in the teeth.
what's hostile alt text you ask?
it's when you don't actually describe what's in the image. it includes; just a joke, endless hashtags and/or emojis, extensive URLs, just a period, the file name of the image,....
I hope this helps clear things up
alt text on your picture of your cat could literally just be "my cat" and that's good enough. it's not great but you achieved the bare minimum—describing what's in the photo.
what it should not be is: "lol look at this silly guy" or "wow what a pose" or "fuzzball" or "this one time I took this picture and I thought it was so good so I wanted to share it with you"

I watched Prime Video for the first time in a while (to watch Gen V, season 2) and... Fucking Prime now has commercials, not before before the show, as I was expecting, but in the middle of the shows!
Those streaming platforms are forgetting that we signed up for them because they're only slightly more convenient than pirating platforms... Well, if they play ads, that convenience is gone and so is my subscription.

Mně se povedlo dostat skoro celou rodinu na MXChat (Matrix) a WhatsApp mám už jen kvůli práci – máme ho přemostěný do Matrixu, takže mi všechny zprávy chodí tam.
Volání přes most nejde, ale aspoň mi přijde notifikace, že někdo volal → pak buď otevřu WhatsApp a zavolám zpět, nebo zavolám normálně.
Jediná nevýhoda: WhatsApp stejně musí být v telefonu. Most totiž používá webové rozhraní (WhatsApp Web / linked device), takže telefon musí být připojený k internetu, aby to fungovalo. WhatsApp appka nemusí být pořád otevřená – stačí ji jen občas spustit.

We don't really know what it is, but there's something *besides* guns that causes it.
There has been an extremely significant uptick in mass schootings in the US in recent years, which isn't supported by a significant enough liberalisation of gun rights in that period. There has to be something else going on.
With that said, guns are a *necessary first step* that makes mass shootings possible, but there's more to them than just access to guns.
Whatever the trend is, even Europe isn't fully immune from it either, see e.g. the attacks in Berlin a few years ago where a person drove a truck into a large crowd of pedestrians. The tool is different, the effect is similar.

Something modern that connects to the computer so again I can throw it out to speakers. Or something that connects direct to speakers?
But being able to rip CDs like the olden days would also be good.

Vojtěch Polášek has put together a technical preview of a version of Fedora that should work well for blind or visually impaired users. While his goal is explicitly to see these improvements and changes become part of Fedora itself, for now you can use this implementation based on the Fedora MATE spin. :)

@david_chisnall by saying "requires phone numbers" I was implying that you can discover people by phone numbers since that is the case in 99% if not 100% of all apps that offer phone number registration, that you can disable this feature is meaningless if it is opt-out and most people will leave it like that, by saying ArcaneChat is immune to this I meant because you can't discover people like that, people must get in contact directly via QR or invite link

Thank you to our amazing Tuta community, your support enables us to do what we love: develop encrypted products & spread privacy. 💌🔐
Firstly the logo design of the Tuta Fanshop when you search in Google, it looks not like Tuta. I wish instead the logo from Tuta at the moment could be used for that and that the site name get's changed to something like: tutanotashop.com - because tuta is mail and tutanota is the shop. good to remember and better seperating. And only tutanotashop.com should stay, so it's not irritating to have .com and .de
And tuta.com is also the mail. So both would match better. Look my next post.
I found out about the Shop from your reddit post from 6 years ago about "Tutanota Fan Shop" - for me the Fan Shop here was irritating. I thought it's someone other doing it. So it would be better to take the "Fan" out of it. And I would find it helpful if we could find the Shop on tuta.com in the section below of "Blog" - more people would be interested and word of Tuta would be spread without need of recommeding.
I will tell some Feedback for the website and products in the next post

When you post something about a vulnerability in another messenger and completely misrepresent it, in a way that implies that you don’t understand the cause of it at all, it gives me no confidence in your system.
The root cause is nothing to do with phone numbers. It depends on two things:
If you actually wanted to convince people your system was better you would:
Email-based flows tend to not be vulnerable to this kind of attack because they do most of the processing on the server, so you’d only be able to probe the server. But you wouldn’t bother because email has so little metadata protection that you don’t need to bother with an attack like this. From what I know of DeltaChat’s group chat protocol, I suspect there is a way of triggering a similar attack by sending broadcast invalid messages and timing the error response. If you really wanted to convince people that your system is better, you’d show a security analysis that explains why I’m wrong, rather than just say ‘I don’t understand this attacks but the researchers who published it didn’t bother trying to attack the protocol I use and so I’m sure it is secure!’ That is exactly the attitude to security that makes me distrust DeltaChat.
Oh and before anyone jumps in with anything about XMPP: this attack is completely trivial on XMPP. Send an invalid iq stanza to the client’s bare JID and time the response. And this is impossible to fix without redesigning the protocol because unknown iq stanzas must be forwarded to the client to enable future extension and clients must respond with errors.
So there is no way for anyone to use a public identifier like an email address or similar to reach you?
What do you put on business cards or similar if you want people to contact you? An invite link?
#DeltaChat is for private chatting, so you normally don't put your link anywhere publicly, you could create a dedicated profile for public interactions tho, which, unlike in signal, it is super easy to do and you can have as many as you want,
and notice the use case I am talking here is family chat, not business and public interactions, that is why I said "keep your family safe" I am talking about family chat solution here

Okay, so your use case for 'private chatting' excludes journalists publishing contact information for whistleblowers? It excludes union organisation? It excludes protest organisation?
I guess that's fine, but maybe don't claim to be operating in the same space as Signal then.
and notice the use case I am talking here is family chat, not business and public interactions, that is why I said "keep your family safe" I am talking about family chat solution here
Then you need to learn about the concept of an anonymity set. If you have one mechanism for talking to your family and another different one for talking to your union rep, it's really easy for a passive adversary to track when you suddenly start using a different mechanism for high-value conversations.
@david_chisnall
what kind of passive adversary are you talking about here? server, provider, global?
Identifying whether you are using this or that chat profile is not necessarily trivial, especially since the 2.33 releases which introduced multi-relay profiles. A single chat profile can jump between using different relays/hosts.
FWIW we share the recommendation of @arcanechat to split between a public profile (invite link published etc.) and private ones (no publishing).
> Okay, so your use case for 'private chatting' excludes journalists publishing contact information for whistleblowers? It excludes union organisation? It excludes protest organisation?
> I guess that's fine, but maybe don't claim to be operating in the same space as Signal then.
the ArcaneChat slogan is "private chats for the family" I don't get why you jump angry into my thread to attack, I never said anything about "whistleblowers" whatsoever, please, calm down 😅
@david_chisnall
Sorry for jumping in as a random person here, but I think I have some relevant points.
First of all, you admittedly both missed the mark about the cause of the security issue Arcane posted. Delivery receipts are separate from read receipts, and turning off read receipts in signal does not mitigate this issue.
Now as per Delta Chat's FAQ: delta.chat/en/help#what-do-the…
It should have the same issue. Delta Chat claims to send "delivery" receipts, but as far as I can tell, there is no UI indication for the sender when a client receives the message (I tested both mobile and desktop). So unless there is an email sent that doesn't result in any UI indicator for the sender, I think Delta Chat is safe from this particular privacy issue. If it is the case that Delta Chat identified this bad decision and fixed it, please also update your FAQ to match!
The rest of y'all's argument seems to hinge on aspects of how delta chat and arcane chat are marketed/presented, rather than the technical details, so I'm not interested. But what I *do* find really interesting is the idea that "private" and "secure" chat programs would ever send automatic responses without user action. To me, it seems painfully obvious that "features" like this just create an attack surface for probing. Look... I use Signal (as well as Delta Chat), and I like it, and I'm not going to stop using either anytime soon. But it was disappointing to learn about this anti-feature. It *is* a legitimate criticism of Signal that needs to be addressed.
Also, while this issue had nothing to do with phone numbers, I think the fact that Delta Chat does not require phone numbers, and allows the creation of more identities than one might even *have* phone numbers, is an enormous advantage compared to Signal for people who want to protect the privacy of their identity and not just the contents of their messages.

@capitalthree ArcaneChat/DeltaChat doesn't have delivery receipts, only read receipts, the only automatic responses the app does in your behalf is to handle invite links, for that you first have to share invite link with the malicious contact, as side effect they also expose when they are online so if you go to your contact list and see them at the top with a green dot while not chatting with them often you can detect this, in thr future this might change
