this is a serious question, in case anyone has specific knowledge[1]: how come 20% of Apple device updates (most egregiously the Apple Watch) are getting to "100%" and 80% of the update is "Preparing…" with no percentage

Recently, for Digital Wellbeing we merged notification improvements. Other feature work that will allow parents to better set their kids screen time by not allowing kids to unlock the screen and allow parents to extend screen time as needed is under review.
Digital Wellbeing helps parents encourage safe and healthy habits for their kids. These are features that are funded by the GNOME Foundation. #DigitalWellbeing #FriendsofGNOME

Spricht eigentlich irgendwas gegen #Delta Chat? Ich mein, #Signal ist toll, aber Meredith Whittaker hat bereits angekündigt, dass sie sich aus Europa zurückziehen werden, sollte die #Chatkontrolle kommen.Antifa Style
You can read here how to migrate to a new relay: support.delta.chat/t/how-to-mi…
How chatcontrol will be implemented and what to do against is is hard to predict without a concrete proposal, so let's see.
Let’s say you have initially created a profile on the default relay and want to migrate away from it. Update at least to 2.33 on all your devices: Help testing upcoming Delta Chat 2.33.Delta Chat

I cannot say this authoritatively, but I inquired about the scope of the gpg.fail vulnerabilities that affect GnuPG (and at least one also affecting Sequioa, a Rust PGP implementation) to see if any of these things are a concern for DeltaChat and the response was that they are all out of scope for how DeltaChat uses PGP.
also DeltaChat uses rpgp, not GnuPG or Sequioa, and rpgp has been audited a couple times.

If I put dishes in the dishwasher and unload it when it's done, I'm not "doing the dishes".
But when you do the same with the laundry using the washer and dryer you're "doing the laundry"

No strcpy either.

Some time ago I mentioned that we went through the curl source code and eventually got rid of all strncpy() calls. strncpy() is a weird function with a crappy API. It might not null terminate the destination and it pads the target buffer with zeroes.daniel.haxx.se

memcpy(3) over memove(3). Not all implementations of memcpy(3) support overlapping regions.
wow what are some of these baffingly bizarre replies:

Yeah uhh, first that makes no sense, second having worked with Erlang I can tell you linked lists are a terrible way to represent strings, so bad that C arguably does it better

I've been debating how to have VoiceOver read the data points for a new section I'm adding to Please Don't Rain for sun events.
I asked on @AppleVis and a couple of users suggesting a setting for more/less verbose.
I'm experimenting with adding it.

it's crazy that we do this. Sometimes my dog refuses to eat her chicken until it has been washed again or set out for a while (as the chlorine will break down, faster with direct UV light). She must be able to smell it even when we can't.
makes you wonder how much chlorine Americans are ingesting every day

Welcome to the RB family, Interstellar 🥳

Interstellar is a Fediverse client for Mbin/Lemmy/PieFed accounts. Having found the final culprit that kept it from being RB (after 6 months, and it was just a single thing to toggle! RBs can be bitches sometimes…), we finally succeeded
So raising the bar a little again, RB status is now at 774 apps (60.5%)

You've all seen countless of pictures of cats squeezed into boxes too small to contain them, by their own doing.
This means that cats are able to use clever compression algorithms to reduce their size in that particular situation.
But which algorithm are they using?

OK, so I said this before, but sometimes I really hate being blind. On the flipside though, when I watch a show or movie with audio description and it's well done, I sometimes get more information than sighted people.
For example, when Apple TV+ released Hijack, many of the discussions I saw on Reddit were confused about which character was which. I personally found it really easy to follow the plot, because the AD writer was really good about keeping on top of all the fast paced action going on throughout. Also for shows like The Mandalorian or really any Marvel movie, it seems like the description company and studio worked together when creating the AD track. To me, they come across as higher quality and feel more like a part of the show / movie than other descriptive tracks I've heard.
