🎉 New Changelog interview!

We're joined by Zipline cofounder / CTO, Keenan Wyrobek. Zipline is on a mission to build the world’s first logistics system that serves all people equally via their fleet of autonomous drones that started in Africa delivering medical supplies and can now deliver packages (up to 8 lbs) directly to your door. They've solved a lot of gnarly technical and regulatory challenges along the way. We go deep with Keenan. We hope you'l...

From January 20th, 2026, #books released through #Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) without #DRM will be downloadable as #EPUB or #PDF for users who have purchased them. It will also be possible for no-DRM status to be toggled for existing #ebooks.

It remains to be seen how many #authors and publishers will take advantage of this, whether the files will be watermarked, and if the feature will be available for non-KDP titles.

@Friendica Support hello, may i pls get some help on this query about #Circles ?

i have sub-divided my list of follows & followers into several Circles. one of these is for all my followed #newsbots. i have found to my chagrin that a basic design feature of #Friendica is working against me here. atm, if i read a particular newsbot's post whilst in my "Bot" circle, then decide to quote-boost / quote-share it, with some pertinent commentary by me, it's a complete waste of time... the default Friendica permissions / visibility feature makes my resultant post "Locked", ie visible only to members of this circle, ie, a heap of bots. no actual human will ever see it.

[how] can i avoid this? how can i manually allow any/all posts / replies / boosts / shares that i do from this circle, be visible across all the fediverse?

when circles comprise actual human accounts, this baked-in Friendica privacy concept makes sense. it is however actively unhelpful, indeed plain obstructive, for the specific case of a bot circle.

thx.

🤞 🤞 🤞

In the hours following the recent earthquake off the north-eastern coast of Japan, Google's #AI "displayed outdated information and wrong answers, including the wrong magnitude of the earthquake."

"False information must not be displayed -- even once -- in the field of disaster response, where lives are at stake"

Just seen somewhere on the internet:

Person 1: I want to use OpenVPN.

persons 2, 3 and 4: You *really* should use Wireguard. It's more secure, way faster, and easier to deploy. Pretty much everyone has dropped it in favor of Wireguard. Here are a bunch of valid reasons why you shouldn't use OpenVPN in favor of Wireguard, with resources explaining things in great detail in ways that are easy to understand.

Person 1: Yeah, cool. But I'm going to deploy OpenVPN anyway.

Sometime later, in a completely differenct place:

Person 1: I have just deployed a new self-hosted OpenVPN. Wow, this is really slow and kind of annoying to deal with.

Persons 5, 6 and 7: You should have used Wireguard.

in speaking with my colleagues at @delta i began to test multi-transport (multi-relay) functionality.

early testing looks very good on android, just now we wait until all client engineers bring core library into parity.

we are close to being unstoppable.

now is an amazing time to try #deltachat

interested in running #chatmail relay?

or contact me. i run several and am happy to help you onboard!

Everything Trump does is a metaphor. He knows only how to destroy, not to build.

Destroy the East Wing with no new design or blueprint.
Destroy US healthcare without having a replacement.
Destroy the US economy without having a fix.
Destroy FEMA with no plan for emergency response.
Destroy environmental regulations without any new protections.

What's amazing to me is, we're two years into Intel, AMD and Qualcomm making "AI" CPUs and I still haven't seen a single unique on-device application of those chips that have made me think, "oh, that's kind of useful." They just shoved a NPU into their packages because Apple did and then yelled "Copilot!", threw a smoke bomb and disappeared.
in reply to Matt May

ahaha that's a good way to look at it. They advertise it as being capable of doing ONNX, but with only 50 TOPS at most on higher-end ones, a graphics card can easily deliver in the 400-500 TOPS Int8, 100-200 on something entry level. I think they would have been better suited to put all that R&D into getting the iGPU to include extensions for AI, but I think NVIDIA's Cuda killed that, with how popular it is, they just felt like their own would have no chance. Sigh. So now we're stuck with a part of the CPU that's really there just as a booster to the GPU, and together maybe a system can push 90 TOPS, far below the power of a dedicated GPU that's even entry level. Useless.

The most *chef's kiss* part of this story is when Instacart says it's the stores that set the prices and then the stores point the finger right back at Instacart and say they don't set the prices on the platform.

RE: mastodon.social/@Mohamed_Dawed…

People in Gaza prove their ingenuity and resilience daily in order to survive. I want us to remember what this highlights, along with their incredibly creative solutions: the blatant injustice of greed and supremacy that caused the necessity for these solutions in the first place.

We must continue to fight for Palestinian freedom, in every way that we are able.

Mir fällt es schwer zu verstehen, wie die @Kirche@mastodon.social bei den Entwicklungen in den ca. letzten 10 Jahren zu so einer Entscheidung kommen kann.

Was sind denn die Argumente dafür, z.B. in Sachen digitale #Souveränität, #Selbstbestimmung, #Nachhaltigkeit und #Datenschutz?

re: teasing modernity

well we have something better that has existed for many years before that and has been successfully used across a HUGE amount of open source projects already including the Linux kernel.

If we're gonna pick something, we should move forward with the option that has a formalized standard already and "just works".

Mastodon friends (US ones probably!).

Doing a but of sleuthing with some limited evidence and hitting a wall.

So some of you say certain words containing a long O after a short sound, like both, moment etc. but add in an L, sometimes obviously, sometimes subtly.

So bolth, molment, and so on.

Is this regional? Generational? Education? The US doesn’t have a class system like large parts of Europe or Asia do, so I can’t speak for that.

in reply to Security Writer

I think it's regional - likely influenced by the speaking style of the predominant immigrants that settled in given areas (at least that's my hypothesis). I used to have family in remote Pennsylvania and they pronounced certain words with an "R", like "warsh" instead of wash. I've not heard "molment", but "bolth" seems to be super common just about everywhere.
