We are looking for an experienced Android UI developer for github.com/deltachat/deltachat…. Native Java, close to the system, with minimal deps and fluff.

Networking/encryption/persistence is not part of the job as it happens in github.com/chatmail/core

Remote collab is fine and the default. We meet in person every few months in the black forest or other occasions/places. We can do 20-30 hours per week contracts with 4-5K EUR pay per month.

EDIT: position is filled. thanks all!

Et ça y est on a enfin des .dmg qui marchent bien et que vous pouvez tester en nightly ici :

This is something we've definitely been discussing, and exploring how we can implement it and what the best way to do that would be. There's a link to a Connect post in the bugzilla report, and it's never a bad idea to upvote/comments on these to help show support, which is useful when we prioritize features to add to our development roadmaps: connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/o…

Installing Gajim on macOS just got a lot easier! Gajim is now available as a packaged DMG setup file 📦, which can be downloaded and installed.

At the moment, we provide an experimental nightly for testing. If everything goes well, the next Gajim release will include a macOS setup as well 🎉

My thoughts are really random right now. One of these random thoughts_ is that maybe I'm expecting to_ _much_ from myself. As long as I don't hang in front of _my_ phone the entire day and get TikTok _addicted_, I think it can't be bad to slow down a little bit, spend less time in front of the computer trying and just keep myself out of it with some audiobooks and bible. I hope we _finally_ get an YMCA youth group again, I need to find myself somehow and that won't happen through this computer sadly. I still _don't_ really know what I want, or well, I kinda do, but I need to learn to be _consistent_ with it, and not like, mix up my entire thoughts just because my emotions play with me or something. Difficult to describe.

The reason I say that, btw, is probably kind of influenced by me spending more time outside the bubble again. I know that I need it once everything goes back to normal and I sit in the office 8 hours a day. NO sighted person would care enough to like, idk, chat with me that often, or bother about my tech stuff, etc. I'm not trying to downtalk this all, but I need, different stuff too. If not that, then that I've kinda noticed that I care less and less. Straight example, new Redspot, many people apparently at least somewhat care, honestly I see 0 reason to play it. Not trying to downtalk anybody's fun but I just don't feel like I fit into this kind of community mostly, with exception of some of the techy
people. Don't feel like I fit into anything though so that doesn't mean something lol. Also I don't know whether it's good to put this on Mastodon, but I enjoy reflecting and I just can't in like a journal where it's not really directed to somebody.

Pretty sure this is a transcription error, but my new favorite 19th century name is "Almond Gushy"

(Currently going over a student transcript of an 1840s journal to standardize spelling of some proper nouns for discovery reasons)

ETA: Okay, I checked the manuscript, it definitely does say "Almond Gushy"

Edited again: Unfortunately, after further reflection, I think it's more likely Grisby. Boo

Hello @delta

I'm puzzled, the #DeltaChat Android app (from the Google play store, 2.34.0) doesn't offer to set a video chat instance

The version 2.11.0 from the FDroid store does.
Is this intentional?

The first one is set to English, the FDroid one to German

Side problem: while the web version of #FDroid also shows me 2.34.0 the "app store" on #EOS always downloads 2.11.0. It even offers an update but the version stays on 2.11

@delta hi! I was told and shown some very interesting stuff at 39c3 by your team, so here's some more questions: what's the drawback of using a dedicated address on my existing SMTP server for delta chat? Someone from your team told me that you're looking to phase out that option. I'd like to avoid running a dedicated VPS just for a chatmail relay for now. If I decide to use nine.testrun.org instead, how easily will I be able to migrate to my own server in the future?

Delta Chat

right now, for classic dedicated email addresses, you can go to the "chats-and-media / delete-from-server" setting and set it to "after download" or a higher duration if you have multiple devices on the same address that want to get messages. Once a message is downloaded, a device never looks back on the server for it.

Note: How the UX of deletion-options evolve in the next months is still under discussion. If it becomes required to do something server-side we'll document it.

The latest Paperback 7 development build now includes basic web rendering. By going to Tools and choosing Open in Web View (Ctrl+Shift+V), you can display a part of a book, say, a section or a chapter, inside a web view.
How much of the book or file actually shows up in the web view is still a bit unclear to me; in EPUB books, for example, it seems to depend on the size of each chapter or section.
You might ask: what’s this good for? For regular books, the web view may not be all that useful. But it can be very handy for books with specific, intentional formatting (like code samples or shell commands), where browsers have already done the heavy lifting to build a sensible accessibility tree—or for Markdown previews.
Also worth mentioning: Paperback 7 (development) now supports tables as well. You can move between tables using T and Shift+T, and once you press enter in a table, you can navigate its columns and rows in a dedicated screen reader-friendly way in the same web view. Pressing Escape returns focus to the book.

You know, right after hitting send I thought about something. Should I call myself nerd? Honestly there are tons of more smarter and nerdy people than me, and somehow, I wouldn't even necessarily call me nerd, but many people do, my parents, friends, and I guess what I do is, nerdy? I don't know what I think about the association with the word nerd at this point tbh.

And that's the fun part of beeing a nerd. Been at the YMCA the last couple of days and got recommended an audiobook, that recommendation kinda spread so it wasnt only me who wanted to hear it. So what did I do? Get it on Audible, NVDA Remote into my PC, Open Audible FTW rip it, throw it on my audiobookshelf server, and saved people money. Yup sometimes its great to be seen nerdy in a good way as you are.

@matt Fixed the typo, thanks! As for why I chose this particular model:
⁃ it’s the biggest model that fits in my M1 Max’s RAM comfortably;
⁃ it responds almost as quickly as commercial hosted models;
⁃ it’s not pretending to know anything, it frequently tells me “I don’t know anything/enough about that, check online”;
⁃ instead, it’s just very good at English and Polish.

@vlad25 For anyaudio I am hopeful to implement proper database replication and load balancing so that several servers around the world can host nodes that handle bits of the anyaudio traffic. This sort of thing is pretty tricky to set up and get right in a bug free manner though. Indeed, however, we are quickly reaching the limits of my poor small server with all of these releases and I'll probably have to adapt accordingly in some sense.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you know that Starwar Part1, the binaural text to speech audio production I showed off on stream, is now available to download in flac! Especially for those who didn't see the stream, you might want to read the description before listening in order to acquire context which will certainly leave you a bit less confused. Those on mastodon and thus most likely to know of the streams get the Anyaudio link before the clip goes generally public, especially since there is no Anyaudio commenting at this time due to disabled registrations. Anyway, enjoy! anyaud.io/listen?audio=OeFViBO…

I can say, however, that I've reunited with an "old friend" who is still in great shape. Before I get dozens of replies about it being insecure: in theory, it is, but it's not accessible from the outside. It's isolated within its own network and is only able to connect and fetch backups for 'extreme disaster recovery' (only at specific times, restricted by specific firewall rules). It served its purpose today, and tomorrow, it might be even more useful.
